Analysis of Material Convergence, Logistics, and Organizational Typology of Animal Supplies in the 2018 Puna Lava Flow
The following paper is a case study on the Puna lava flow of May 2018 to analyze the group efforts and shifts in group tasks chronologically, specifically for the management of supplies for companion and farm animals. Data were recorded from a detailed tracking of social media forums in which people coordinated efforts for the movement of supplies. One of the researchers was also deployed for fieldwork to Hawaii during the lava flow to document r…
Companion Animals and Online Discourse
People often intentionally or unintentionally leave companion animals behind in an evacuation during a hazard event. In online animal rescue forums, people curate, comment on, and engage in posts during and after disasters. Many times, the content of the posts and comments to the posts are value-laden and examples of expressing moral policing about evacuation related to companion animals. To explore the content of posts related to rescue, reunifi…
The Pets of Hurricane Matthew
The purpose of this research was to understand the ways in which ownership of companion animals influences evacuation decision-making, using Hurricane Matthew of 2016 as a case study. Using stated-choice surveys, this research identifies behavioral decisions made during and after the evacuations associated with the hurricane, and details how decisions were made for different types of pets and the various stressors and problems encountered during …
Scared of the Shelter from the Storm
Theories about fear of crime may offer insights about the use of public shelters in disaster situations. This study focuses on fear of victimization and gendered explanations of fear of crime in public shelters during hurricane events. From surveys of 424 North Carolina residents, 179 respondents described safety concerns with staying in a public shelter. Fear of victimization was the most commonly identified safety concern in connection to antic…
Procedural Justice, Legitimacy, and Public Cooperation with Police
Objectives: The principal objective of the current study is to test the applicability of Tom Tyler’s process-based model of policing in China. A secondary objective of this research is to examine the internal consistency and discriminant validity of key composite constructs in Tyler’s model. Methods: Using survey data collected from approximately 1,000 residents in a Chinese city, ordinary least squares regression was employed to assess the direc…
A mixed method study of hurricane evacuation
The present paper examines the role of several demographic indicators on stated hurricane evacuation thresholds, or the lowest category storm for which participants indicated they would evacuate, for mandatory and voluntary orders. Quantitative analyses reveal that race was significantly associated with a lower stated evacuation threshold in both the bivariate and multivariate models and that previous refusal to comply with evacuation orders was …
Police
The police have been traditionally defined as the social agency of a government that is responsible for maintaining public order and preventing and detecting crime. This definition emphasizes the social control function that the police are supposed to perform in a society. It has been challenged by findings from a few observational studies conducted in the 1950s and 1960s, which showed that, despite being commonly portrayed as law enforcers and c…
Willingness to Record Police-Public Encounters
Although using personal electronic devices to record police-public encounters has surfaced as an important social phenomenon that could potentially shape public perceptions of the police and police-community relations, very little research has investigated factors affecting people's willingness to record the police. Using survey data collected from two universities, this study assessed whether race/ethnicity and social and legal consciousness inf…
Quinney, Richard
Richard Quinney was born on May 16, 1934, in Elkton, Wisconsin. He obtained his BS in sociology and biology from Carroll College in 1956, his MA in sociology from Northwestern in 1957, and his PhD in sociology from the University of Wisconsin‐Madison in 1962. Between 1962 and 1983, Quinney taught at St. Lawrence University, University of Kentucky, New York University, and University of North Carolina‐Chapel Hill. In 1983 he moved to Northern Illi…
Collective Efficacy Theory
Collective efficacy theory is based upon social disorganization theory of criminology, and has its roots in the Chicago School. The basic tenet of the theory is that communities with strong mutual trust, shared expectations, and the capacity to influence informal social controls will have stronger neighborhood collective efficacy, which will lead to lower rates of crime. The theory provides a framework for explaining crime variation across commun…
