Guanxi and Fear of Crime in Contemporary Urban China
Western research has investigated individual correlates of fear of crime with a primary focus on people's vulnerability. This vulnerability model examines the possible effects on fear of indicators of people's physical vulnerability (e.g. age and gender) and social vulnerability (e.g. income and education). As is well documented in the research on China, guanxi is a unique aspect of social capital in Chinese society. The present study argues that…
A Multilevel Analysis of the Risk of Household Burglary in the City of Tianjin, China
This study applies the integrated, multilevel framework developed in the West to explain variation in the risk of household burglary within the city of Tianjin, China. The analytic framework consists of three sets of determinants: household variables, neighbourhood structural factors, and neighbourhood social control processes. The selection of variables is guided by routine activities/lifestyle theories and the social disorganization perspective…
Social Capital and Homicide
Despite recent theoretical attention to and its impact on a range of public problems, including crime, few studies have evaluated the relationship between crime rates and levels of social capital across populations. That research gap is due, in part, to the absence of macro-level empirical indicators of social capital. In this article, we measure social capital as a latent construct with aggregated voting and organizational membership data, and s…
Political Restraint of the Market and Levels of Criminal Homicide
This article examines the effects on national homicide rates of political efforts to insulate personal well-being from market forces. Drawing upon recent work by Esping-Andersen and the institutional-anomie theory of crime, we hypothesize that levels of homicide will vary inversely with the “decommodification of labor.” We develop a measure of decommodification based on levels and patterns of welfare expenditures and include this measure in a mul…
Economic Deprivation, Opportunity Structure, and Robbery Victimization
Intraracial and interracial robbery victimization rates for a sample of 25 cities are used to test hypotheses derived from economic deprivation and macrostructural opportunity theories. Robbery victimization rates are computed separately for four race-of-victim-race-of-offender combinations: whites victimized by whites, whites victimized by blacks, blacks victimized by blacks, and blacks victimized by whites. The effects of variables important to…
A study of homicides in Manhattan, 1981
There were 573 persons murdered in Manhattan (New York) during 1981 for an overall rate of 40.5 per 100,000 population. The male, young, and Black or Latino populations were at higher risk of being homicide victims. For male victims, the homicides were the result of disputes in 37.6 per cent of the cases, drug-related activities in 37.6 per cent, and robbery and other criminal activities in 24.8 per cent of cases. For female victims, homicides re…
