“…If the search returns more than one possible match, the closest one is chosen (closest in terms of the two continuous variables). Individuals without a match are omitted from the analysis, as they can be seen as outliers (Jennings, Richards, Smith, Bjerregaard, & Fogel, 2015). In addition, the omission here is justified on two grounds.…”

In 2005, the State of Israel established a new classification—renewing kibbutzim. This study examines the relationship between the extent of privatization and the various forms of demographic growth that were permissible under the new classification and their impact on the perceived sustainability of the kibbutz in these communal communities. We collected data at the kibbutz level via interviews with community managers and at the individual level through questionnaires among community members in 19 kibbutzim. We employed the “nearest neighbor” methodology to create pairs who were demographically eligible for a before and after comparison. Although our results about perceived sustainability suggest that kibbutzim across the board have overcome the struggle to survive and have been able to recover, unlike commonly assumed, changes they adopted in the direction of more privatization and diversified statuses are clearly correlated with smaller increases in levels of perceived sustainability. Our findings may offer lessons for wider sociological questions concerning processes of privatization and stratification.

Crime and punishment in the United States has its origins in practices of the European settlers who colonized America centuries ago. Although there is a wide range of crimes that occur in the United States and there are varied forms of punishment for them, perhaps no punishment is more controversial than the death penalty. Hence the current entry provides a brief review of the most recent advancements in death penalty research in the United States.
