What drives support for authoritarian populist parties in Eastern and Central Europe
Using data from the European Social Survey (2002–2018), we examine the rise of the far right in nine east-central European states in the last half of their third post-communist decade: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, and Slovakia. For many in the region in 2018 religion remained a cornerstone of national identity even as the nation struggled with the institutional demands of democracy in the aftermath of …
Hate Crimes Nourish Domestic Terror in the United States and Europe
This paper provides cross-cultural application of the iceberg model of political extremism1 conceptualizing hate crimes as reflecting the dangerous base that gives rise to mass casualty right-wing extremist attacks. Evidence is reviewed demonstrating that both offenses are motivated by the same prejudices and that right-wing violent extremists are more likely than other extremists to have engaged in pre-radicalization crime.2 This discussion goes…
How Do Muslims Respond to Far-Right Political Mobilization in Their European State
How Safe Do Majority Group Members, Ethnic Minorities, and Muslims Feel in Multicultural European Societies
London elected a Muslim mayor in 2016, less than a year after Germany took the lead in welcoming Syrian refugees. What accounts, then, for political leaders’ public assertions of the death of multiculturalism and the resurgence of far-right parties? We examine the possibility that some areas of multicultural policy foster a sense of discrimination on the part of majority populations and reduce their sense of safety, putting pressure on political …

Coercive Concern: Nationalism, Liberalism, and the Schooling of Muslim Youth
In Coercive Concern, Jaffe-Walter's research demonstrates how state policy can encourage everyday discrimination by well-meaning professionals. This yearlong ethnographic study was conducted outside Copenhagen, Denmark, from 2007 to 2008 (with follow-ups in 2009, 2011, and 2014) at the public municipal Engby folkeskole, where children are educated through the ninth grade. Close to half of the students at Engby were first- or second-generation Mus…
Benchmarking Muslim Well-Being in Europe: Reducing disparities and polarizations
Benchmarking Muslim well-being in Europe: Reducing disparities and polarizations
This highly topical book aims to undermine unsubstantiated myths by examining Muslim integration in Germany, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, states which dominate the debate on minority integration and the practice of Muslim religious traditions. These nations have a range of alternative relationships between religion and the state, as well as strategies for coordinating individuals' ethnic and state identities. Using the European…
Do Muslims in Germany Really Fail to Integrate? Muslim Integration and Trust in Public Institutions
Host Nation Language Ability and Immigrant Integration in Germany: Use of GSOEP to Examine Language as an Integration Criterion
Civic integration contracts in western European states developed in a context of high unemployment rates among those of migrant background, European and national efforts to control migration, and the implementation of antiterrorism security measures. Language and cultural education programs are now required for non-Western immigrants to Europe in order to assure their employment and respect for the political and cultural traditions of the host na…
Measuring Muslim Integration in Europe
The European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (established by the Council of Europe in 1997) has warned that anti-terrorism security measures risk disrupting the task of integrating Muslim communities in EU member states. 1 1.

Out of Order? Policing Black People
The Rebirth of Private Policing.Les Johnston
The police and social threat: Urban transition, youth gangs, and social control
Based on a study of U.S. cities of 25,000 or more, this paper describes the impact of urban decline from 1970–1980 and the magnitude of youth gang problems on municipal fiscal commitment to policing. After statistical controls are imposed for the city's crime rate, revenues and demographic characteristics, the results indicate that urban transition and recognition of youth gang problems influence municipal police funding. Implications are drawn c…

States of Siege: U.S. Prison Riots 1971-1986
This book examines case studies of recent prison riots in five states, including the 1971 radical uprising in Attica, New York, and the infamous 1981 bloodbath at the New Mexico Penitentiary. The most extensive and detailed work yet written on US prison riots, the authors explain the occurrence and variations of riots as a reflection of the administrative breakdown of the prison system within a changing ideological context. A theoretical appendix…

Collective Bargaining and Faculty Compensation: Faculty as a New Working Class
This article assesses the impact of the unionization offaculties on the average salary and compensation offaculty members in four-year colleges and universities generally and in public and private institutions separately. A multivariate model that included other institutional characteristics apt to affect the association between unionization and faculty remuneration was tested with data on 1,194 four-year colleges and universities. We found that …
Black Visibility, Early Political Victories, and Income Inequality
Racial income inequality has long been viewed as an indicator of discrimination against blacks and as reflective of their subordinate group status in the United States. Researchers have tried to isolate the structural, demographic, and geographic catalysts of discrimination and, hence, of racial income inequality in U.S. urban areas. Much attention has been paid to the influence of minority group presence-that is, percent black-on income inequali…
Black Visibility, City Size, and Social Control
The research reported in this article tests the hypothesis that the relationship between the public fiscal commitment to policing and minority group size is not the same in small cities as it is in large cities. The results of a comparison of all cities in the United States that were greater than 50,000 in population in 1970 with those that were between 25,000–50,000 at that time indicates that the impact of the relative size of the black populat…
Inequality, Opportunity, and Crime Rates in Central Cities
In a recent paper, Cohen and Felson argue that changes in our routine activities since World War 11 have contributed to the increase in predatory crime by creating additional opportunities for it. In particular, they found that a measure of the dispersal of activities away from the home‐the household activity ratio‐has had a significant effect on crime rate trends since 1947. The aim of the present research is twofold: (1) to determine if this re…
Minority Composition, Inequality and the Growth of Municipal Police Forces, 1960–71
Recent studies, in finding that community variables such as percentage Black and income inequality have significant effects on police size and expenditures, call into question the findings of earlier research. However, these recent studies are themselves subject to serious methodological limitations and leave open the question of whether it is class or racial conflict which affects the deployment of police resources. In this study we estimate sev…
Race and the War on Crime: The Sociopolitical Determinants of Municipal Police Expenditures in 90 non-Southern U.S. Cities
Three variables suggested by conflict theory--the racial composition of the city, the level of black mobilization activity, and the frequency of riots in the 1960s--are used as independent predictors of municipal policing expenditures in 1971. A simultaneous model which recognizes the interdependence of the police expenditure function with the crime and total city revenue functions is tested using data for a sample of 90 U.S. cities. Racial compo…
Community Control, Community Mobilization, and Community Political Structure in 57 U. S. Cities
This paper describes the results of a comparative study of the factors which inhibited or facilitated the development of the issue of community control of schools in fifty-seven cities in the United States. The findings suggest that the degree to which blacks and the poor were mobilized for political action and the political characteristics of the city were important in determining whether or not the issue entered the political arena
