Women Behind Bars: Trends And Policy Issues, Mark S. Kaplan, Jennifer E. Sasser
Women Behind Bars: Trends And Policy Issues, Mark S. Kaplan, Jennifer E. Sasser
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
In the crusade to get tough on crime, policy makers have also gotten tough on women, drawing them into prisons in rapidly growing numbers. Today, incarcerated women are predominately poor, uneducated, and unskilled; are disproportionately African American and Latina young women with children; and have severe health and mental health problems. This article examines the characteristics and needs of these women and presents recommendations for their more humane and pragmatic treatment and for social policy that is relevant for the decarceration of this country's soaring female prison population.
Less-Than-Lethal Weapons And Police-Citizen Killings In U.S. Urban Areas, William C. Bailey
Less-Than-Lethal Weapons And Police-Citizen Killings In U.S. Urban Areas, William C. Bailey
Sociology & Criminology Faculty Publications
There appears to be general consensus in law enforcement circles that less-than-lethal weapons are effective in reducing police-citizen killings, but this “common wisdom” has not been subject to systematic empirical analysis. Considering a large sample of U.S. cities for 1990, this article examines the association between the availability to the police of various types of less-than-lethal weapons and general and race-specific justifiable homicide rates. The analysis produces no evidence that police killing rates are affected by the availability of less-than-lethal weapons.

An Integrative Review Of Criminological Theory: Determining The Extent To Which The Scope Conditions Of Time And Location Have Been Addressed, Douglas L. Gilbertson
Culminating Projects in Criminal Justice
Modern social science is the result of the development of numerous perspectives which attempt to explain social phenomena. One such explanation is offered by Turner (1978). He suggests that concepts explain phenomena from either a concrete or abstract perspective which is relative to the scope conditions of time and location. This study--using Turner's scope conditions--defines time as events or periods within human existence (conception, prenatal, birth, and life-course). It defines location as either individuals (focusing on individuals or social networks) or as structures (focusing on groups, organizations, and society).

Fear Of Crime In Rural America: Fear Along Virginia's Eastern Shore, David Steven Simon
Fear Of Crime In Rural America: Fear Along Virginia's Eastern Shore, David Steven Simon
Sociology & Criminal Justice Theses & Dissertations
Using 1996 Survey data collected from residents along Virginia's Eastern Shore, this study addresses fear of crime in rural communities. Most prior research has focused on fear of crime in urban communities or has reported a relatively low fear of crime in rural communities. However, some recent analyses have indicated unusually high fear in small towns experiencing rapid population growth and economic changes. Heightened fear of crime has been observed even where there has been no apparent increase in criminal victimization experiences. This study addresses fear of crime and its relation to perceived risk of victimization, density of acquaintanceship, community …
