Fear of crime, incivilities, and collective efficacy in four Miami neighborhoods
Marc L. Swatt, Sean P. Varano, Craig D. Uchida, Shellie E. Solomon
Coefficients of social process variables are compared across four neighborhoods. Coefficients for perceptions of collective efficacy on fear of crime vary. Coefficients for perceptions of incivilities on fear of crime do not vary. Heterogeneity was also observed for other important theoretical relationships.
Early starters: Which type of criminal onset matters most for delinquent careers?
Matt DeLisi, Tricia K. Neppl, Brenda J. Lohman, Michael G. Vaughn, Jeffrey J. Shook
Arrest onset was most consistently related to antisocial outcomes. Antisocial behavioral onset was associated with psychopathic personality. Juvenile court referral onset was not associated with delinquent careers. Youths with ADHD or CD diagnoses experienced earlier onset than their peers.
Discouraging window breakers: The lagged effects of police activity on crime
Jonathan W. Caudill, Ryan Getty, Rick Smith, Ryan Patten, Chad R. Trulson
This study provided mixed support for Broken Windows-based order maintenance policing. Order-maintenance policing failed to reduce significantly violent crime over a 26-month period. One measure of order-maintenance policing – non-traffic citations – significantly reduced reported property crimes.
Maternal versus adolescent reports of self-control: Implications for testing the general theory of crime
Ryan C. Meldrum, Jacob T.N. Young, Callie Harbin Burt, Alex R. Piquero
The strength of the association between self-control and delinquency varies by informant type. The strength of the association between parenting and self-control varies by informant type. Self-reported and other-reported measures of self-control cannot be used interchangeably.
Attempting to reduce firearms violence through a Comprehensive Anti-Gang Initiative (CAGI): An evaluation of process and impact
Edmund F. McGarrell, Nicholas Corsaro, Chris Melde, Natalie K. Hipple, Timothy Bynum, Jennifer Cobbina
CAGI cities experienced a lagged decline in gun homicide. There was evidence of a contemporaneous enforcement effect on gun homicide. The impact on gun homicide was modest and did not appear to be sustained. Most CAGI jurisdictions could not provide reliable estimates of gang crime. Most sites had difficulty implementing a coordinated, comprehensive program.
Childhood broken homes and adult violen An analysis of moderators and mediators
Delphine Theobald, David P. Farrington, Alex R. Piquero
Experiencing a broken home up to the age of 14 predicted violent criminal conviction by age 50. The effect on violent conviction was moderated by nervous disposition and harsh discipline. The effect of broken home on later violent conviction was mediated by several variables. The most important mediators were self-reported violence and hyperactivity. In sum, the ‘broken homes effect’ is more nuanced and can lead to distinct outcomes in a myriad of ways.
Bullying victimization and adolescent mental health: General and typological effects across sex
Michael G. Turner, M. Lyn Exum, Robert Brame, Thomas J. Holt
Reported bullying victimization rates varied across verbal (50.0%), physical, (29.0%), and cyber (13.0%) bullying measures. Females and males who were verbally bullied experienced higher rates of depression than those who were not bullied. No significant gender differences in suicide ideation emerged across females and males who experienced any type of bullying.
