The case of the missing victims: Gunshot woundings in the National Crime Survey
Journal of Quantitative Criminology - Tập 1 - Trang 91-102 - 1985
National Crime Survey (NCS) data yield an estimate that 171,000 Americans were nonfatally shot in criminal assaults, robberies, and rapes for the period 1973–1979. Comparing this estimate with the number of firearms homicides during this period suggests either that the death rate in gunshot cases is very high (over 1/3) or that the NCS estimate is low. Based on police-generated data appropriate to......
Genetic and Environmental Influences on Delinquency: DF Analysis of NLSY Kinship Data
Journal of Quantitative Criminology - Tập 17 - Trang 145-168 - 2001
This paper follows earlier research (Rowe et al., 1992) in evaluating the basis of family influences on adolescent delinquent behavior. Delinquency is measured in a number of different ways to account for important theoretical distinctions that exist in the delinquency literature. We use recently identified kinship structure in a large national data set—the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth—to......
The Importance of Importance Sampling: Exploring Methods of Sampling from Alternatives in Discrete Choice Models of Crime Location Choice
Journal of Quantitative Criminology - Tập 38 - Trang 1003-1031 - 2021
The burgeoning field of individual level crime location choice research has required increasingly large datasets to model complex relationships between the attributes of potential crime locations and offenders’ choices. This study tests methods of sampling aiming to overcome computational challenges involved in the use of such large datasets. Using police data on 38,120 residential and non-residen......
Offenders' choice of target: Findings from victim surveys
Journal of Quantitative Criminology - Tập 3 - Trang 355-369 - 1987
This paper argues that victimological research on risks can contribute to the study of offender decision-making. It examines some of the problems in conventional approaches to the topic and discusses strengths and weaknesses of surveys of victimization as an additional source of information. It presents and discusses a conceptual framework for examining target selection, the key elements of which ......
Race, Space, and Violence: Exploring Spatial Dependence in Structural Covariates of White and Black Violent Crime in US Counties
Journal of Quantitative Criminology - Tập 28 - Trang 559-586 - 2012
To join the literature on spatial analysis with research testing the racial invariance hypothesis by examining the extent to which claims of racial invariance are sensitive to the spatial dynamics of community structure and crime. Using 1999–2001 county-level arrest data, we employ seemingly unrelated regression models, spatial lag models, and geographically weighted regression analyses to (1) com......
Testing for the Equality of Maximum-Likelihood Regression Coefficients Between Two Independent Equations
Journal of Quantitative Criminology - - 1998
Consider the case where one obtains maximum-likelihood estimates of regression coefficients for the respective populations from which each of two large independent samples is drawn. A question sometimes asked about the results of such an analysis is whether there is a difference between a coefficient in one population, θa, and the same coefficient in another population, θb. In this paper, we evalu......

Pitfalls in the Use of Time Series Methods to Study Deterrence and Capital Punishment
Journal of Quantitative Criminology - Tập 29 - Trang 45-66 - 2012
Evaluate the use of various time series methods to measure the deterrence effect of capital punishment. The analysis of the time series approach to deterrence is conducted at two levels. First, the mathematical foundations of time series methods are described and the link between the time series properties of aggregate homicide and execution series and individual decision making is developed. Seco......
When Criminal Coping is Likely: An Examination of Conditioning Effects in General Strain Theory
Journal of Quantitative Criminology - Tập 34 Số 4 - Trang 887-920 - 2018
Trends in victimization in schools and elsewhere, 1974–1981
Journal of Quantitative Criminology - Tập 7 - Trang 3-17 - 1991
Trends in the rate of victimizations of juveniles in three settings-schools, homes, and streets/parks-are examined monthly during the period 1974–1981. The relationship between in-school victimization rates and those occurring outside of school are analyzed with multivariate ARMA models informed by previous research on school victimization (Gottfredson and Gottfredson, 1985) and an importation per......
