  • Developmental Theories of Crime and Delinquency

    Frank R Scarpitti, Terence P ThornberryREVIEWContemporary Sociology A Journal…1997

    In Developmental Theories of Crime and Delinquency, Terence P. Thornberry and his contributors show that criminal behavior is not a static human attribute, but ebbs and flows over the life course of the individual. Criminal behavior tends to follow a distinct psychological pattern. It is relatively uncommon during childhood, is initiated by most offenders during adolescence, flourishes during late adolescence and early childhood, and usually dimi…

  • Argot use in a therapeutic community

    Amie L Nielsen, Frank R ScarpittiARTICLEDeviant Behavior1995Referências: 15

    Argot, or the language of subcultures, is derived from the larger society but reflects those elements most relevant to the cultures of the subgroups, including values, roles, and issues integral to the group. Prison argot, for example, reflects inmate perceptions and adaptations to the institution and its programs, with considerable variation existing between custodial and treatment‐oriented institutions. It is believed that argot may facilitate …

  • Examining the criminal justice and criminological paradigms

    Jonathan R Sorensen, Alan Widmayer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Criminal Justice…1994

    Many authors have noted the existence of dual paradigms operating in crimerelated education, including those who generally study crime as a social phenomenon (criminologists) and those concerned with agencies that have been designed to deal with crime (criminal justicians). In an effort to determine the exten of convergence and divergence between these groups, we examine the characteristics of members of their respective professional associations…

  • Crime in Atlantic City

    Daniel Curran, Daniel J Curran et al.ARTICLEDeviant Behavior1991Citada por: 8Referências: 1

    In November, 1976 a constitutional referendum in the state of New Jersey legalized casino gaming. This paper examines the impact of this action on crime in Atlantic City, the only location in the state where gambling is permitted. More specifically, the analysis looks at the incidence of FBI index crimes in that jurisdiction in two basic ways. First, the work examines the raw numbers and rate of crime in the city, both before and after the introd…

    Alan A Block, Frank R ScarpittiARTICLEDeviant Behavior1986Citada por: 1Referências: 2

    The symbiotic relationships among gambling casinos, offshore banks and professional criminals are complex. In numerous contemporary cases, professional criminals from the United States and elsewhere are known to utilize both casinos and financial institutions to launder money and to hide large amounts of illicitly acquired money. Long before recent revelations of such activities became known in the Caribbean and the U. S., developers in the Baham…

  • Female Delinquency and Broken Homes a Re‐assessment

    Open AccessSusan K Datesman, Frank R ScarpittiARTICLECriminology1975Citada por: 17Referências: 15

    Most studies examining the relationship between broken homes and delinquency conclude that females react more adversely to a break in the home than do males. In a study of 1,103 adjudicated delinquents, it was found that when type of offense is controlled, the higher proportion of broken homes among female delinquents represents their greater involvement in “morals” offenses. Black males arrested for person and property offenses actually come fro…
