University of Illinois at Chicago’s Interdisciplinary Center for Research on Violence
This article describes an interdisciplinary center at the University of Illinois at Chicago focused on collaborative research on violence. Our center is unique in its emphasis on developing infrastructure and distinctive processes for overcoming obstacles to interdisciplinary research; the involvement of outside policy makers, advocates, and service providers in jointly discussing and developing research proposals; the breadth of commitments from…
An Analysis of the Criminogenic Effects of Terminating the Supplemental Security Income Impairment Category for Drug Addiction and Alcoholism
This study examined the criminogenic effects of terminating the Supplemental Security Income program for drug addiction and alcoholism. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to analyze self-reported crime, economic, and drug-use data collected as part of a two-year multisite study with five interview waves from 1,640 former DA&As. The primary independent variables examined included subjects’ replacement of lost SSI benefits legally or through re …
Childhood abuse and the use of inhalants
OBJECTIVES: Using two existing ethnographic studies of drug-involved adults, this study evaluates the association between child-abuse victimization and levels of involvement in inhalant use. METHODS: Historical accounts of childhood exposure to physical or sexual abuse were compared among nonusers of inhalants (n = 197), light inhalant users (n = 64), and heavy inhalant users (n = 24). Crude and adjusted odds ratios were used to compare informant…
Drug Use by Homicide Offenders
This article uses data derived from interviews with 268 homicide offenders incarcerated in New York State correctional facilities to examine their drug use prior to and at the time of the homicide, and their perceptions as to whether and how the homicides were related to their drug use. Most respondents who used a drug were not hard-core users of that drug. About one in five of the respondents could be considered polydrug abusers. Thirty percent …
Changing Patterns of Lethal Violence by Women
Historically, studies of homicide by women have focused on battered women who kill an abusive partner in self-defense. This paper uses case descriptions from interviews with nine women incarcerated for homicide to demonstrate the need for more research in this area. Our analysis suggests that the literature has understated the number of women who kill for other reasons, and that the type of killing by women may be explained in part by the involve…

From Bag Brides to Skeezers
There are many ways that women support their use of crack cocaine, including sex-for-crack bartering and other forms of prostitution. Empirical studies conducted in the mid-1970s and in the mid-1980s in New York City, and in Chicago in the late 1980s to early 1990s are compared, analyzing similarities and differences between the contemporary crack-prostitution scene and previous prostitution scenes. Findings suggest that the arrival of crack coca…
Longitudinal measurement of substance use in ethnographic samples
Using data from two samples of drug users, this study addresses several related methodological issues in longitudinal, ethnographic research. We evaluated the consistency of individual drug use reports over 8 weeks. We also observed and compared trends in reports of drug use over the same time period. Individual consistency in drug use reports varied according to type of substance and type of measure reported on. In general, individuals were more…
Race/Ethnicity and Gender Differences in the Drugs-Violence Relationship
This article examines the drug relatedness of violent events reported by White, Black, and Hispanic male and female street drug users from New York City. The primary purpose is to determine if the drugs-violence relationship varies for these different populations of drug abusers. Drug relatedness is assessed according to a tripartite conceptual model of the general relationship between drugs and violence. Significant race/ethnicity and gender dif…

The Drugs/Violence Nexus
Drug use and drug trafficking are examined as etiological factors in the creation of violence. A conceptual framework is presented for examining the drugs/violence nexus. Drugs and violence are seen as being related in three possible ways: the psychopharmacological, the economically compulsive, and the systemic. Each of these models is examined in depth. The quality of data available in existing national crime data bases to explicate these relati…
Occupational mobility in the world of prostitution
Prostitution may be viewed as a sexual service industry that includes various occupational sub‐categories, such as streetwalker, call girl, madam, pimp. These occupational sub‐categories differ in terms of work environment, financial rewards, work hazards, etc. Occupational mobility is possible within the prostitution business but is dependent upon factors similar to those found in more legitimate occupations (e.g., race, mental acumen, personal …
