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......
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......
Recidivism among drug offenders: A survival analysis of the effects of offender characteristics, type of offense, and two types of intervention
Journal of Quantitative Criminology - Tập 10 - Trang 159-179 - 1994
The determinants of recidivism are increasingly becoming the focus of public concern. This study explores the relative effect of type of intervention, offender characteristics, and type of incident offense on time to a petition to revoke probation and time to a probation revocation. Our analysis of intervention effects includes both parametric and nonparametric estimation procedures. Estimating fi......
Selective Attrition and the Age-Crime Relationship
Journal of Quantitative Criminology - Tập 19 - Trang 107-127 - 2003
One of the most widely accepted findings in criminology is the strong curvilinear association between age and crime. Studies have indicated that involvement in criminal behavior rises throughout the teenage years until it levels off during the late teenage and early adult years and then declines throughout the remainder of the life span. Many of these studies, however, have relied on cross-section......
How do Racial and Ethnic Disparities Emerge in the Use of Restrictive Housing for Prison Rule Violations?
Journal of Quantitative Criminology - Tập 39 - Trang 769-803 - 2022
In light of empirical findings suggesting no substantive main effects of an incarcerated person’s (IP’s) race or ethnicity on the odds of placement in restrictive housing (RH) for rule violations, we investigated whether these effects are dependent on offense severity and context, including characteristics of facilities that could theoretically increase stakeholder reliance on biased stereotypes a......
Narcotics use, property crime, and dealing: Structural dynamics across the addiction career
Journal of Quantitative Criminology - Tập 2 - Trang 355-375 - 1986
Structural-equation modeling is used to test causal relationships between narcotics addiction and the associated cost-support activities of property crime and drug dealing across four critical periods of the addiction career. It is argued that structural-equation methodology yields greater insight into the causal dynamics of such activities than the typical methodologies of comparing means and pro......
On Correcting Biases in Self-Reports of Age at First Substance Use with Repeated Cross-Section Analysis
Journal of Quantitative Criminology - Tập 16 - Trang 45-68 - 2000
Household survey data on age at first use of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana,and hard drugs can be biased due to sample selection and inaccuraterecall. One potential concern is attrition, whereby individuals who getinvolved with substance use at an early age become increasingly less likelyto be surveyed in successive years. A comparison of data from the NationalHousehold Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) w......
Alternative Strategies for Identifying the Link Between Unemployment and Crime
Journal of Quantitative Criminology - Tập 17 - Trang 377-390 - 2001
National-level time series data are a crude tool for distinguishing between two alternative behavioral explanations for a link between unemployment and crime. Consequently, inferences drawn from aggregate time series estimates are likely to be misleading. A more fruitful approach to learning about the link between unemployment and crime would be to utilize a menagerie of different methodological a......
