Analyzing Rational Crime — Models and Methods
The Individualism‐Holism Problem in Sociological Research
This paper treats the problem of which type of units, individuals or whole societies, should be used when explaining societal phenomena. It is argued that factors operating at the individual level in principle form societies, and that societal phenomena therefore should ideally be explained at this level. However, it is also argued that many societal phenomena cannot in practice be analyzed at the individual level in a clear and strict way, but r…
Modelling the Influence of Societal Factors on Municipal Theft Rates in Sweden
This study investigates the possibilities of using a non-linear longitudinal model when analysing the influence of crime opportunity and commission propensity factors on societies' theft rates. The model used, which is based on decision-theoretical assumptions on individual criminal behaviour, explains how the theft rate is influenced by contemporary and historical societal characteristics. The crime opportunities in a municipality are assumed to…
Urban Place of Residence and Individual Criminality
This paper presents a study aimed at determining whether young males who have resided for a long period of time in the same part of Greater Stockholm have been influenced in their criminality by their spatial location. Findings of cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of register data for a birth cohort indicate that location has had practically no long or short-term influence on criminality. Spatial variation in crime within cities has been …
The Scope of the Rational Choice Perspective in Sociological Research
Saving and risk taking
The social value of risk‐taking
In this study, the following hypothesis concerning the social value of risk‐taking is advanced: young men who wish to assert themselves and to gain prestige tend to take greater risks in public when together with other young men than do young men who do not have these wishes, whereas there is no such difference in risk‐taking in private. This hypothesis is empirically tested and is supported
