The crime decline in cross-national context
During the 1990s, the United States and other wealthy democracies experienced a decline in homicide rates. However, not all nations shared this trend. Despite disparate homicide patterns, researchers usually examine the average effect of correlates on homicide, potentially obscuring the impact of heterogeneity within large samples. The current study addresses this implicit homogeneity assumption by identifying three distinct latent trajectory gro…

An Empirical Assessment of What We Know About Structural Covariates of Homicide Rates
As the 20-year mark since the publication of an article by Kenneth C. Land, Patricia L. McCall, and Lawrence Cohen, “Structural Covariates of Homicide Rates: Are There Any Invariances Across Time and Social Space?” approaches, the question that these scholars originally posed is raised again: Have researchers been able to identify a set of robust structural covariates that consistently predict crime rates? Subsequent to the publication of this pi…
The dynamic relationship between homicide rates and social, economic, and political factors from 1970 to 2000
The Politics of Place
This article describes the processing of domestic violence cases in Trinidad with implications for the implementation of domestic violence law more generally in other common law courts including the U.S. It is based on fieldwork in magistrates courts and a statistical analysis of domestic violence court records-the first of its kind for the English-speaking Caribbean. We identify a politics of place that makes courts discordant locales places in …
A Dynamic Model of Racial Competition, Racial Inequality, and Interracial Violence
Race relations and stratification literatures offer explicit expectations concerning interracial conflict. Causal arguments derived from these perspectives are examined in this study to explore their ability to explain interracial violence above and beyond criminological perspectives of economic deprivation and racial inequality. The vast majority of previous aggregate-level studies on violence are cross-sectional, ignoring the importance of a dy…

Exploring the Racial Discrimination and Competition Processes of Race-Specific Violence in the Urban Context
There has been increasing effort devoted to examining the linkages between urban disadvantage and race-specifi c violence in the sociological literature. Much of this literature has either focused on identifying the consequences of urban disadvantage on different racial groups, particularly as it relates to offending rates, or documenting the impact of labor market factors on intra-racial and inter-racial violence. While this literature advances …

Discrete-Time Hazard Regression Models with Hidden Heterogeneity
Previous methodological research has shown that hidden heterogeneity in hazard rate regression models-in the form of systematic differences between sample members in the risk or hazard of making a transition due to unobserved variables not accounted for by the measured covariates-can produce biased parameter estimates and erroneous inferences. However, few empirical applications of hazard regression do more than pay lip service to the complicatio…
Structural Conditions and Racial Homicide Patterns
This research examines the differential effects of structural conditions on race‐specific victim and offender homicide rates in large U.S. cities in 1990. While structural theories of race relations and criminological explanations are reviewed, particular attention is given to those structural theories that highlight racial competition, economic and labor market opportunity, and racial segregation as essential for an examination of racially disag…
Structure, Context, and Agency in the Reproduction of Black-on-Black Violence
Violence has a substantial impact on morbidity and mortality within the African-American community. While certainly providing insight into macro- and micro-level forces, existing conceptualizations of the race and violence linkage are limited. We discuss these limitations and then offer a more comprehensive and integrated theoretical framework for understanding disparate patterns. Rather than reducing race-specific violence outcomes to social-psy…
How Many Latent Classes of Delinquent/ Criminal Careers? Results from Mixed Poisson Regression Analyses
This article reviews questions about different categories of criminal careers, summarizes Poisson latent class regression models, describes procedures for evaluating the optimal number of latent classes, and applies this methodology to data from male cohorts taken from the cities of London, Philadelphia, and Racine. Four latent classes of offending careers is an appropriate number for the London cohort, but five classes can be justified for the P…

A Comparison of Poisson, Negative Binomial, and Semiparametric Mixed Poisson Regression Models
Specifications and moment properties of the univariate Poisson and negative binomial distributions are briefly reviewed and illustrated. Properties and limitations of the corresponding poisson and negative binomial (gamma mixtures of Poissons) regression models are described. It is shown how a misspecification of the mixing distribution of a mixed Poisson model to accommodate hidden heterogeneity ascribable to unobserved variables-although not af…
Discrepancies between the Legal Code and Community Standards for Sex and Violence
Community standards for sexually explicit and violent depictions were measured using a representative sample of Western Tennessee residents. The residents were randomly assigned to view sexually explicit films charged in an obscenity case, violent materials, or control materials. The results showed that residents believe the sexually explicit films charged in the case did not appeal to a self-reported shameful, morbid, or unhealthy (prurient) int…

Estimating the Effect of Nonignorable Nonresponse in Sample Surveys
Rubin (1977) developed a method for estimating, in a subjective sense, the effect of nonignorable nonresponse in sample surveys. Based on Bayesian techniques, this method produces a subjective probability interval for the statistic, such as the mean of a response variable, that would have been calculated if all nonrespondents had responded. Demographic and socioeconomic background information that is recorded for both respondents and nonresponden…

"Cooling Out" Men in Singles Bars and Nightclubs
This article attempts to advance understanding of the interactional survival strategies of women in public places by examining the manner in which they fend off men and parry their advances in singles bars and nightclubs. The strategies employed are conceptualized as variants of the "cooling out" process initially outlined by Goffman (1952). Three sets of strategic practices associated with actual or anticipated cooling-out encounters are identif…
Structural Covariates of Homicide Rates
This study demonstrate that the empirical literature on the structural convariates of homicide rates contains inconsistent findings across different time periods and different geographical units. This apparent variance of findings may be due to statistical or methodological artifacts of particular studies, such as different time periods covered, units of analysis, samples, model specification, and problems of statistical analysis and inference. A…
