Crime And Deterrence: Correlation Analysis, William C. Bailey, J. David Martin, Louis N. Gray

Sociology & Criminology Faculty Publications

A correlation analysis of the severity and certainty of punish ment and offense rates for the major index crimes produces results consistent with the predictions of deterrence theory. Certainty of punishment proves to be the chief deterrent for most crimes. Homicide, however, is influenced by severity, pos sibly reflecting the differences between homicide and other of fenses. Little evidence of interaction is found between certainty and severity in effects on crime rate. A powerfunction proves to better describe the relationship between the punishment varia bles and crime rates than a rectilinear equation-a conclusion which, even apart from the date, appears …

Postcensal Population Estimates For Oregon Counties: An Evaluation Of Selected Methods, Guy Jeffrey Barnes

Dissertations and Theses

This study evaluates the results of three widely used methods for preparing postcensa estimates of counties. The methods are Census Bureau’s Component Method II, the Ratio Correlation Method and the Bogue-Duncan Composite Method. Hypotheses based upon empirical generalizations from previous comparative studies are tested. Statistical tools used are Average Percent Deviation (without regard to sign) and Standard Deviation of Percent Errors. Directional bias and frequency of extreme error are also examined. Evaluations are conducted of the accuracy of the estimates for groups of counties stratified in terms of density and growth rate dimensions. With few exceptions, Ratio Correlation produces consistently …

This work aims at a quantitative definition of the form and nature the influence of Weber and Durkheim takes in American Sociology rather than a qualitative evaluation …

San Jose, 1946: A Study In Urbanization, Frank C. Moore

Sociology ETDs

For many years New Mexico has been classified as a rural state. Although New Mexico is still predominately rural, a trend toward urbanization has appeared in recent years.

The study is concerned with this change of San José, [New Mexico] from a rural to urban community. Previous literature has postulated the hypothesis that urbanization produces a change in the total structure, or configuration, or a community's way of life. This change, in turn, produces profound and far-reaching effects upon the individual and his way of life. The purpose of this study, therefore, is (1) to show the effects of urbanization …

A Study Of The Qualitative Changes Of Population, Chi Li

Historical Dissertations & Theses

Historically the study of population shows three successive stages: the economical, the biological and the eugenic . Thomas Robert Malthus represents the first, Herbert Spencer, the second, and Sir Francis Galton , the third. In the light of modern sociology, an inquiry into the problem of population is, therefore, a three-fold process; it is concerned with the qualitative changes of population as well as the quantitative changes and the relation between the quantitative changes and the production of food . It is the first aspect that we propose to examine in this thesis. We shall see how individuals differ from …
