Legal Changes and the Decline of Sex Work Arrests in Toronto Neighborhoods, 1992–2020
In recent decades, sex work in Canada has faced legal changes with efforts to enhance the criminalization of buyers and court challenges to uphold sex workers’ human rights. What are the consequences of these legal changes and challenges on the streets of Toronto where sex work and its enforcement have also changed? Leveraging an intersectional framework with annual data on Toronto police–recorded sex work occurrences and census data from 1992 to…
Coercive Control in 2SLGBTQQIA+ Relationships
Existing measures and theories of intimate partner coercive control largely evaluate men’s coercion of women. The extent of knowledge pertaining to intimate relationships among other genders and sexual identities is unclear. Guided by a theoretical framework of intersectionality, we examined and synthesized original studies on coercive control by (perpetration) or against (victimization) Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, questioni…
A scoping review of policing and coercive control in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer plus intimate relationships
Coercive control is a form of intimate partner violence (IPV) that encompasses non‐physical behaviors used to constrain and entrap a partner. Coercive control is especially relevant to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer plus (LGBTQ+) relationships when abusers target the gender and sexual identity of their partners. Victim‐survivors, community members, and service providers often struggle to identify and intervene with this form of ab…
Gendered Vice Complaints
Urban communities use 911 to demand "quality-of-life" police responses and control neighborhood "disorder." Less is known about the neighborhoods calling 911 to report sex work perceived as disorderly. We investigate the frequency and spatiality of 911 calls reporting sex work across Chicago census tracts relative to arrests and model the relationships between these and neighborhood characteristics. We find that 911 calls spread across Chicago wi…
When Femininity Is Irrelevant
Research finds racial disparities in the frequency and severity of police violence. Police violence research has not interrogated gender to the same effect. We build on theories of 'gender irrelevance' to argue that violent incidents between police and civilians cannot be extricated from masculinity's relevance. However, in contexts when police respond to women as violent, police render women's femininity as irrelevant. Using 2016-2021 California…
Race, Gender, and Police Violence in the Shadow of Controlling Images
Despite the emergence of the #SayHerName movement alongside #BlackLivesMatter, research on police encounters is rarely intersectional and has largely neglected the potentially violent consequences of gendered and racialized 'controlling images.' Using New York City investigatory stop data (2007-2014), and drawing on controlling images theory, our analysis shows that Black men and women experience higher rates of police violence than White men and…
Violence brokers and super-spreaders
The rise of organised crime changed Chicago violence structurally by creating networks of rivalries and conflicts wherein violence ricocheted. This study examines the organised crime violence network during Prohibition by analysing ‘violence brokers’ – individuals who committed multiple violence acts that linked separate violent events into a connected violence network. We analyse the two-mode violence network from the Capone Database, a relation…
The ties that bribe
The crime of corruption ranges from politicians involved in high‐profile scandals to low‐level bureaucrats granting contracts and police officers demanding bribes. Corruption occurs when state actors criminally leverage their positions of power for financial gain. Our study examines how corruption varies by political power position and within criminal contexts by measuring the embeddedness of corruption within Chicago historical organized crime. …
Exogenous Shocks, the Criminal Elite, and Increasing Gender Inequality in Chicago Organized Crime
Criminal organizations, like legitimate organizations, adapt to shifts in markets, competition, regulations, and enforcement. Exogenous shocks can be consequential moments of power consolidation, resource hoarding, and inequality amplification in legitimate organizations, but especially in criminal organizations. This research examines how the exogenous shock of the U.S. prohibition of the production, transportation, and sale of alcohol in 1920 r…
Mafia Organizations
Syndicate Women
Trust Thy Crooked Neighbor
Bureaucratic and patrimonial theories of organized crime tend to miss the history and mobility of crime groups integrating into and organizing with legitimate society. The network property of multiplexity-when more than one type of relationship exists between a pair of actors-offers a theoretical and empirical inroad to analyzing overlapping relationships of seemingly disparate social spheres. Using the historical case of organized crime in Chica…
Men's College Athletics and the Politics of Racial Equality
Examinations and the ESL student – more evidence of particular disadvantages
Two years of assessment results from the full‐time MBA of a highly ranked UK business school are examined to compare the outcomes for students for whom English is a second language (ESL) with those for whom English is a primary language (EPL). The results suggest that the overall higher level of higher‐degree outcomes for the EPL group is underpinned by evidence of an interaction between assessment methodology (coursework versus timed, closed boo…
More Coffee, Less Crime? The Relationship between Gentrification and Neighborhood Crime Rates in Chicago, 1991 to 2005
This study examines the relationship between gentrification and neighborhood crime rates by measuring the growth and geographic spread of one of gentrification's most prominent symbols: coffee shops. The annual counts of neighborhood coffee shops provide an on–the–ground measure of a particular form of economic development and changing consumption patterns that tap into central theoretical frames within the gentrification literature. Our analysis…
Assembling Work
Japanese manufacturing firms established in Britain have often been portrayed as carriers of Japanese corporate best practice for work and employment. In this book, the authors challenge these views through case study research, undertaken at several Japanese manufacturing plants in Britain during the 1990s. The authors argue that in actual fact production and employment regimes are adapted and 're-made' in a number of ways, responding to specific…
Exegetical Circles
19- EXEGETICAL CIRCLES: AN INNOVATION AT THE CHARLOTTE MEETING by William G. MacDonald In 1981 a method of scholarly interaction new to the SPS took shape at the annual meeting. Heretofore the Society has utilized the traditional way of lecture [lit., `reading']-and-questions. That method has time-honored values especially when the lectures are outstanding and the end product is carefully edited and published, as was the case in the meeting at Ok…
