Beyond Personal Pathology
Suicide rates among Indigenous Peoples in Canada remain significantly higher than those in non‐Indigenous populations, yet explanations have mostly focused on individual and clinical factors. This study offers a sociological perspective by framing suicidality as an anomic response to structural frustration and strain caused by settler colonialism. In this view, patterns of suicidality, like patterns of drug use, are seen not as symptoms of person…
In their own voices
Substantive justice in policing focuses on the fairness of citizen-police encounter outcomes. Yet, much remains unknown about how substantive justice affects satisfaction with the police. This study provides the first quantitative examination of how substantive justice shapes public satisfaction with the police. The findings not only affirm the importance of substantive justice as the most influential factor in citizen satisfaction with the polic…
Negative Police-Citizen Encounters Ramp up Perception of Justice
Most encounters between officers and citizens occur in low-visibility settings, where front-line officers exercise significant discretionary power. Previous research has highlighted the crucial role of police–citizen contact in shaping citizens’ perceptions of procedural and distributive justice. This study goes beyond the simple focus on voluntary versus involuntary contact by examining how specific officer demeanors, such as shouting, impact ci…

A Decade of Liberal Cosmopolitanism in the United States
This study investigates correlates of cosmopolitan sentiments in the United States over a decade, contributing to the literature in two ways. First, it tests the “group status thesis” in the U.S., which suggests that marginalized and disadvantaged groups are more likely to exhibit cosmopolitan attitudes. Second, it examines the interaction between socioeconomic factors and the waves of the World Values Survey conducted between 2006 and 2017. The …

Criminology Qua Criminal Justice as an Open Discipline
This article takes stock of the criminological progress to become an independent discipline by examining the relationship between sociology and criminology. It proposes a scheme of development of criminology, which divides the history of criminology roughly into three eras. In the first era, sociology provided criminology a home in its infantry where it grew healthily into a dynamic subfield of study. During its second era of the great expansion,…
Correlates of stalking victimization in Canada
Confidence in the police by race
The current study reflects a narrative mega-review of confidence in the police by race. This review has led to two conclusions. First, blacks and whites have different levels of confidence in the police, but the difference between races is a matter of degrees. Second, race is not the strongest predictor of confidence in the police in most multivariate analyses. When variables, such as police contacts and concentrated disadvantage, are controlled …
Police contact and confidence in the police in a medium-sized city
Demystifying confidence in different levels of the police
Extending Fei's ‘differential mode of association’ (1992) and Cao et al.'s argument that Chinese trust is layered and hierarchical (2015), this study explores the differential confidence in the different levels of police agencies and brings various forms of trust into the study of confidence in the police. Results from a household random sample reveal that Shanghainese make a distinction between hierarchical levels of the police. Their confidence…

Development and reform of police training and education in Taiwan
This article describes the development of training and educating police officers in Taiwan. The current system, which has largely survived the democratic transition between 1986 and 2000, is unique. It is a two-track system in which Taiwan Police College (TPC) is responsible for training low ranking police personnel, whereas Central Police University (CPU) is responsible for educating police management personnel. Currently, the presidents of CPU …
From authoritarian policing to democratic policing
The literature of democratic policing has neglected the case study of unique geopolitical situation. This study examines Taiwan, one of the few countries that has experienced a relatively peaceful transition from authoritarian policing to democratic policing. While the push from the dangwai movement was necessary, democratisation could not be so peaceful without benign concession from ex-president Chiang Ching-Kuo and his hand-picked successor Li…
Do in-group and out-group forms of trust matter in predicting confidence in the order institutions? A study of three culturally distinct countries
This study brings trust into the study of confidence in the police and in the courts – two order institutions – and tests the utility of a statistical model developed in the West in two other culturally distinct countries (Taiwan and Turkey). The conceptual model is tested using structural equation modeling techniques. Results show that the data fit well with theory-based predictions for the US and Turkey. In-group trust is found to be associated…

Policing in Taiwan
The police in Taiwan played a critical role in the largely peaceful transition from an authoritarian regime to a democracy. While the temptation to intervene in domestic politics was great, the top-down pressure to maintain a neutral standing facilitated an orderly regime change. This is the first monograph to examine the role of the police as a linkage between the state and civil society during the democratic transition and the role of the polic…

Using panel data from the World Values Surveys, this article develops an index of social liberalism to see whether Canada and the United States have been moving on parallel tracks in their values or whether they have been inching closer to value convergence over time. In addition, we explore the determinants of social liberalism in both countries. Tracking of the six-item index of social liberalism shows that there is a trend in value change in t…
The Social Determinants of Gun Ownership
Based on a survey of 539 residents of Cincinnati, this study assesses various explanations of gun ownership. The analysis reveals that gender and childhood socialization into a gun culture are significantly related to protective and general (or “sport”) firearm possession. In contrast, only protective gun ownership appears to be linked to crime‐related factors. Conservative crime ideology and concern about the relative level of crime in one's nei…

A Test of the Black Subculture of Violence Thesis
We use data from the General Social Survey (1983 to 1991) to test Wolfgang and Ferracuti's hypothesis that violent values are widespread among African‐Americans. Contrary to the expectations of the black subculture of violence thesis, our analyses indicate that white males are significantly more likely than blacks to express violent tendencies in defensive situations and that there is no significant difference between white and black males in off…

Stop Or I'll Shoot
Based on a telephone survey of a stratified sample of 239 Cincinnati residents, we explored the impact of race on support for police use of deadly force on fleeing felons. The analysis revealed that, consistent with the standards demarcated by the U.S. Supreme Court in Tennessee v. Gamer, both Blacks' and Whites' approval of force was high when offenders manifested "past dangerousness" and was less pronounced when offenders committed nonviolent c…

Is American Society More Anomic? A Test of Merton's Theory with Cross‐National Data
Despite the pivotal conceptual position of anomie in criminology and sociology, operation‐ alization of the concept remains problematic. This study offers a new operationalization of anomie based on an interpretation of Merton's theory. Furthermore, it provides a test of the anomie theory's premise that Americans are more anomic than peoples in other societies. The data indicates that the mean level of anomie in the United States is not particula…

Urbanization, Inequality, Lifestyles and Robbery
Robbery is a unique crime with various explanations of its etiology. This study integrates several macro-level sociological theories of criminality and victimization into a comprehensive model, thereby locating the structural factors that cause robbery to vary from place to place. Three main conceptual determinants of robbery are identified: 1) the urbanization perspective, 2) relative deprivation theory, and 3) the lifestyle / routine activity a…

Race, community context and confidence in the police
Considers the impact of a range of variables on confidence in the police, including those given little or no previous attention, e.g. measures of crime experience and of conservative political orientation. Draws data from a larger study of urban crime‐prevention issues based on Cincinnati, Ohio. Finds that respondents’ race is not a significant determinant of confidence in the police; the most important determinant being the community context. Su…

The Effect of Financial Satisfaction on Female Suicide Attitudes in China
Previous research on the correlates of suicide attitudes has neglected gender specific analysis as well as research on other nations. In particular, the influences of female financial satisfaction on female suicide attitudes has been neglected. The present study explores the impact of financial satisfaction on female suicide attitudes using a national sample of 321 Chinese women. Controlling for alternative predictors of approval of suicide, the …
