Incidence and factors related to nonmotorized scooter injuries in New York State and New York City, 2005–2020
Injuries from nonmotorized scooters number approximately 40,000 annually in the US and can be prevented by greater use of protective equipment. Street infrastructure is a critical factor contributing to injuries from the use of nonmotorized scooters. Thematically shaded maps can be used to identify and target areas for purposes of intervention
The subway as fourth place: Anomie, flânerie and the “crush of persons”
Sociologically speaking, what kind of place is the subway? If urbanism is defined as the experience of being surrounded by strangers, then the subway is a quintessentially urban space. But social scientists remain polarized in their views of this space, alternately describing the subway as an antisocial environment, a liminal “non-place”, or a space of multicultural contact. In this paper, we describe the social life of the subway, analyzing an o…
Great Migration of African Americans to Hartford, Connecticut, 1910–1930: A GIS Analysis at the Neighborhood and Street Level
The Great Migration of African Americans from the South at the beginning of the twentieth century had an enormous impact on cities in the Midwest and North including Hartford, Connecticut. This study examines the movement of African Americans to Hartford at the neighborhood and street level. The new arrivals, many from Georgia recruited to work in the Connecticut River valley tobacco farms, joined long-established African American residents of Ha…

Nativity Status and Voter Turnout in the Early Twentieth-Century Urban United States
Running counter to both theoretical expectations and the results of previous empirical studies, recent research has shown that European immigrants voted at higher rates than native-born Americans in urban areas of the United States during the beginning of the twentieth century. The explanation offered for this research finding, based on aggregate-level data, is that the numerical superiority of the immigrants in cities discouraged the native-born…
Social, Economic, and Residential Diversity Within Hartford's African American Community at the Beginning of the Great Migration
Scant attention has been paid to the social and economic diversity within the African American community in particular cities at the beginning stage of the Great Migration. This article examines the variation in characteristics of African Americans from different places of birth at the onset of the Great Migration living in one city, Hartford, Connecticut. The article focuses on three major attributes of African Americans with differing geographi…
Residential Segregation and the Beginning of the Great Migration of African Americans to Hartford, Connecticut A GIS-Based Analysis
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the African American population of the United States remained concentrated in the South. In 1910, African Americans in Connecticut accounted for less than 2 percent of the population. Hartford's African American population then totaled 1,745, but by 1920 had increased significantly (by 143 percent) to 4,567. The Great Migration of African Americans from the South to the North and Midwest was under way. T…
The Diffusion of the Influenza Pandemic of 1918 in Hartford, Connecticut
This study uses geographic information systems (GIS) to measure the incidence and track the spread of the influenza pandemic of 1918 in Hartford, Connecticut. The data for the study are based on the death certificates of individuals who lived in Hartford and died from the disease, digitized maps of Hartford for the period circa 1918, and two supplemental random samples of the 1920 U.S. census schedules. The findings suggest that, instead of viewi…

Voter Turnout among European Immigrants to the United States
Voter Turnout among European Immigrants to the United States Studies of electoral participation in the United States have repeatedly found that: (i) turnout is positively related to socioeconomic status (whether measured by income, education, or occupation), and (2) turnout is lower among newly enfranchised groups such as younger voters. Based on these findings, the turnout rate of male European immigrants in the United States, who were qualified…

Unaffiliated voters
According to the conventional wisdom, political parties are hurt by unaffiliated voters (those who are not registered as Democrats or Republicans). These independents are irresponsible and unpredictable. Recent election law reforms throughout the country have encouraged affiliation by restricting voting in a primary to party members. This study examines the effect of the closed primary system in Connecticut. Research found that since the advent o…
Rational Suicide and the Terminally Ill Cancer Patient
In recent years societal attitudes toward suicide among the terminally ill have become increasingly tolerant. These sentiments have become embodied in “Rational Suicide” movements. The central underlying premise of the rational suicide position is that terminally ill patients (of which the cancer patient has served as the prototypal case) have a greater propensity for suicide growing out of their desire to escape overwhelming pain and despair. Th…
Length of Incumbency and the Reelection Chances of U. S. Senators
This note examines the relationship between the number of terms U. S. senators had served and their reelection chances during two time periods-1920-1958 and 19601980. The results of the study show strikingly different patterns of winning reelection during these two time periods. During the years 1920-1958, senators who had served one or two terms were more vulnerable to defeat than were those who had served three or more terms. In the years 1960-…
Changing Patterns in American Voting Behavior, 1914-1980
This paper analyzes voting behavior for President, Senate, and House at the state level for the period 1914–80. The major finding of this study is that since World War II, there has been a pronounced trend toward “particularization” in voting for federal offices. This trend consists of more than the erosion of party attachments among the electorate; it also includes the dissolution of other traditional electoral ties such as presidential coattail…
