“…If police response is dictated by community factors, the distinction between urban and rural becomes more meaningful in how it contextualizes perceived disorder and how that perception of disorder is handled by rural and urban agencies. Kaylen and Pridemore (2015) found that responses to victimization were not significantly different based on community type. They found that police notification and emergency room treatment were not related to whether the community was urban, suburban, or rural.…”

This study examines the relationship between citizen's police satisfaction and fear of crime. Fear of crime and police satisfaction are often studied in major cities and in separate analyses. Our study contributes to and adds updated context to the existing literature by examining the impact of these variables in a small semirural city. Multivariate analyses revealed that police satisfaction and fear of crime were related and that lower levels of police satisfaction were associated with higher levels of fear. Results also indicated that women, older individuals, and those who perceive greater levels of physical disorder had greater levels of fear. The data used for this project were collected via telephone survey. The implications of these methods and findings are also discussed.

“…Finally, as with any other national survey, nonresponse is not randomly distributed and may have an effect on differences in IPV incidence across settlement types. Although the anecdotal evidence is that rural residents are reluctant to share personal problems (Weisheit, Falcone, and Wells ) and would underestimate IPV incidence, survey research in fact indicates that rural residents are more likely than those from small towns and, especially, urban centers, to respond to surveys (Groves and Couper ) while also being just as likely as those from metropolitan areas to disclose violent victimization (Berg and Lauritsen ; Duhart ; Kaylen and Pridemore; ; Rennison, Dragiewicz, and DeKeseredy ). Still, as noted by Weisheit and colleagues (), examining rural violence (including IPV) requires attention to its context and an appreciation of how features vary across rural areas.…”

“…The belief that BJSUSR has the OMB seal of approval is also problematic because it thwarts the questioning of its validity. With few exceptions (e.g., Kaylen and Pridemore 2015), BJSUSR has been used uncritically in secondary analyses.…”

Intimate Partner Violence in Small Towns, Dispersed Rural Areas, and Other Locations: Estimates Using a Reconception of Settlement Type

2019

Current understanding of victimization of those in rural settlements compared to other types of settlements is limited by inadequate classifications of settlement types. The typical approach—one based on the incorrect use of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget’s classification of metropolitan areas—may mask important variations in the incidence of violent victimization, and in part explain mixed results related to this issue. To investigate this, we detail problems with following the typical approach, and then describe an alternative measure of settlement type. We next use this alternative settlement type measure to estimate the incidence of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women from 1992–2015 National Crime Victimization Survey data. Over the period examined, the incidence of IPV was highest for women living in small towns (11.4 per 1,000). In contrast, women living in dispersed rural settlements (7.9 per 1,000) shared rates with those in suburbs (7.9 per 1,000) and exurbs (7.1 per 1,000) while reporting rates lower than those of women residing in the urban core (9.7 per 1,000). These results provide clarity to earlier research on the incidence of IPV across settlement types and they call into question the salience of geographic isolation as a determinant of IPV in nonmetropolitan locales.

“…Neighborhood population density (population per square mile) and a binary indicator of a neighborhood's location inside a central city were also included in the analyses to account for the suggestion that police notification of crimes is higher in urban and more densely populated areas than in rural and less densely populated areas (Hart & Rennison, 2003). This proposition has some empirical support (Rennison, Dragiewicz, & DeKeseredy, 2013), although there is also evidence against this view (e.g., Kaylen & Pridemore, 2015;Xie & Lauritsen, 2012).…”

Neighborhood immigrant concentration and violent crime reporting to the police: A multilevel analysis of data from the National Crime Victimization Survey*

Using data from the Area‐Identified National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), we provide a national assessment of the impact of neighborhood immigrant concentration on whether violence is reported to the police. By drawing on multiple theoretical perspectives, we outline how the level of violence reporting could be higher or lower in immigrant neighborhoods, as well as how this may depend on individual race/ethnicity and the history of immigration in the county in which immigrant neighborhoods are located. Controlling for both individual‐ and neighborhood‐level conditions, our findings indicate that within traditional immigrant counties, rates of violence reporting in immigrant neighborhoods are similar to those observed elsewhere. In contrast, within newer immigrant destinations, we observe much lower rates of violence reporting in neighborhoods with a large concentration of immigrants. Our study findings reveal comparable patterns for Whites, Blacks, and Latinos. The results have important implications for theory, policy, and future research.
