Police Organization in the Twentieth Century
Despite some continuity with past forms and functions, police organization in the twentieth century has evolved in response to changes in technology, social organization, and political governance at all levels of society. Major developments in police organization have occurred in the areas of command organization and mobilization of patrol officers, the organization and work of patrol officers, and the access and use of information systems by all…
Advancing Knowledge about Co-Offending
Albert J. Reiss, Jr., David P. Farrington, Advancing Knowledge about Co-Offending: Results from a Prospective Longitudinal Survey of London Males, The Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology (1973-), Vol. 82, No. 2 (Summer, 1991), pp. 360-395
Communities and Crime
How does crime relate to the quality of life in communities? What role does fear play in influencing crime patterns? What is the effect of crime on a community's school's teachers, and pupils? How does environmental design affect crime? Can household and community mobilization change crime patterns? Examining the ways in which communities both affect crime and are affected by it, this volume seeks to explain the wide variation of crime levels amo…
Longitudinal Study of Trial Courts
Longitudinal trial court studies lack a simple model of system litigation. This essay advances the argument that models which attempt to explain either trial court behavior or changes in civil litigation have little explanatory power. Rather, a system mobilization model is needed that has the following paradigms: (1) a perception paradigm that produces awareness of matters that might be the subject of a conflict or dispute; (2) a paradigm that ex…
The Institutionalization of Risk
The centrality of risk assessment and risk management to complex organizations testifies to the institutionalization of risk in modern society. Much of the writing on risk assessment and management deals with how decision makers struggle with uncertainty rather than calculable risk. The conceptualization of risk and uncertainty depends in part upon whether one focuses upon decision makers and their decisions or upon outcomes of decisions. Focusin…

Co-Offending and Criminal Careers
Understanding co-offending is central to understanding the etiology of crime and the effects of intervention strategies. The ratio of individual to co-offenders varies among crimes. Solo offending criminal careers are less common than those of exclusively co-offending but the typical criminal career is a mix of offenses committed alone and with others. Co-offending is more characteristic of juvenile than of adult criminality. Distinctions must be…

Crime Control and the Quality of Life
Chapter 10
The Social Indicators III report on public safety is, as its predecessor in 1976, largely a report on major crimes against persons and their property and social responses to them, rather than a statistical report on public safety. The view of crime as the overriding concern in public safety is examined. The profile of major crimes against persons as violent and against their property as serious is scrutinized by presenting more detailed statistic…

Controlling Police Use of Deadly Force
A central problem for democratic government is how to limit their own use of force, particularly their use of deadly force. Government control of force can be accom plished in a number of ways, but principally by controlling opportunities for its exercise and decisions to use it. To con trol opportunities for the use of deadly force, institutions and their organization must be altered, whereas to control decisions to use it, organizations must ma…

Continuities in the Study of Ecological Succession
This paper concerns the problem of how residential succession affects the character of one set of local organizations: small businesses in racially changing neighborhoods. A key issue examined is the extent to which the causes and consequences of residential succession account also for the succession of small-busines organizations. Only one type of succession is examined in this paper: the movement of blacks into areas previously occupied by whit…

On Exploring the "Dark Figure" of Crime
The history of criminal statistics bears testimony to a search for a measure of "criminality" present among a population, a search that led increasingly to a concern about the "dark figure" of crime—that is, about occurrences that by some criteria are called crime yet that are not registered in the statistics of whatever agency was the source of the data being used. Contending arguments arose about the dark figure between the "realists" who empha…
The Distribution of Juvenile Delinquency in the Social Class Structure
There is no simple relationship between ascribed social status and delinquency. Both the status structure of the residential community and the extent to which delinquency is a function of a cultural tradition in a residential community affect the delinquency life-chances of a boy at each ascribed social class level. The largest proportion of delinquents for any status group comes from the more homogeneous status areas for that group, while the de…
The Social Organization of Legal Contacts
This is a study of how both the organization of the legal system and of citizen affairs leads citizens to define affairs as legal matters and to seek advice from a lawyer.The data are from a sample survey of the problems and legal experiences of 780 residents of the Detroit Metropolitan Area, 604 white and 176 Negro.The findings show that income and location in the social structure affect citizen contacts-with attorneys not only by.providing rele…

Systematic Observation of Natural Social Phenomena
Much argument about the merits of various methods and techniques of social investigation is based on misconceptions of how data are gathered and analyzed. At the core of most of the argument is a faulty definition of observation. Observation is fundamental to all forms of data collection. The forms differ primarily in how techniques of investigation are organized, how observations are made and recorded, and in their own validity and reliability (…
Command, Control, and Charisma
This paper examines several features of American police systems that account for some variation and change in command structures and the personal charisma of the chief. Ways that the bureaucratization of the police have served to commit officers to an occupational organization, to an occupational community, and to norms of subordination and service in such a way that these commitments take precedence over extra-occupational ones are also examined…

Apathy, Truancy and Delinquency as Adaptations to School Failure
Three types of deviance are found to be related to English mark. The relationships between English mark and apathy, truancy, or delinquency are shown to be largely independent of these controls: age, sex, reading skill, intelligence test score, occupational level of family, socioeconomic composition of school, and mother's educational aspiration for the subject. Sex and educational aspiration of subject tend to specify the degree of association b…

Rural-Urban and Status Differences in Interpersonal Contacts
In a pilot study to test differences in types of personal contacts among urban, rural-non-farm, and rural-farm residents of high and low status, the time-budget was used as a means of gathering data. There are no significant differences of status in types of interpersonal contact or time spent in contact which are independent of residential settings. Among the residential groups, classified by contacts, significant differences in exposure to mass…

Social Correlates of Psychological Types of Delinquency
children, both female and male, whose MMPI profiles resemble those of patients neurotically depressed, hypochondriacal, or psychasthenic, seem less likely to run afoul of law enforcing agencies than are children whose profiles are similar to psychotic and psychopathic persons. These findings, it is believed, can be of utility to all agencies, public or private, whose task it is to prevent the outbreak of serious behavior and personality disorders…

Unraveling Juvenile Delinquency. II. An Appraisal of the Research Methods
There are no adequate theoretical or methodological criteria for evaluating the findings of the recent research work of the Gluecks. Nevertheless, it must be noted in judging their work that the delinquents and non delinquents are poorly matched on neighborhood environmental factors and that the role of primary group relationship and controls and of secondary institutions in structuring personality and enforcing behavior in conformity with a set …

The Accuracy, Efficiency, and Validity of a Prediction Instrument
Prognostic instruments were developed to predict the recidivism of white male juvenile delinquent probationers, and predictions were made for a follow-up sample of cases. The results suggest that an accurate and efficient prediction instrument calls for a small number of stable items from efficient factors having a relatively high association with the criterion. These items are then used to predict an event in a population homegeneous with respec…

Formal Devices for Making Selection Decisions
One form of device for accepting or rejecting applicants who are potential successes or failures is to assign a score to each applicant on the basis of which, according to a rule, his acceptance or rejection will be determined. A variety of decision rules may be stated within a cost-utility framework, the choice among them being determined by selection policy. The construction of formal devices for making selection decisions promises to be a valu…
