“…7 In conjunctive analysis, dominant situational profiles are defined based on the application of minimum cell frequency rules. Following the recommendations of Miethe et al (2008), a minimum cell frequency of 10 is used in the current study to define a dominant situational profile.…”

Existing scholarship suggests that crime concentrates in close proximity to public bus stop locations. However, the importance of particular combinations of crime generators and attractors in the proximate environment around public bus stops has not been empirically documented. Drawing on previous environmental criminology research, the current study uses conjunctive analysis of case configurations to address questions about interpersonal violence around bus stops and other activity nodes in the proximate environment in Henderson, Nevada. Findings reveal that street robberies are highly clustered within a relatively small number of environmental contexts that are defined by specific combinations of activity nodes. They also show that bus stops are more likely than any other activity node to be found across dominant situational profiles of robbery, and that the relative risk of robbery associated with the presence/absence of bus stops varies widely on the basis of specific combinations of other activity nodes.

“…Contrary to an analytic approach that relies on main-effects models, analysis of the situational contexts of violence experienced by college students requires the adoption of a methodology that can describe the underlying patterns of these events when multiple combinations of variables are considered simultaneously. Miethe, Hart, and Regoeczi (2008) have recently offered one such approach-conjunctive analysis.…”

“…While reducing the number of observed profiles from 180 to 68, using this minimum frequency rule has little substantive impact on our results because over 86% of the violent incidents in this study occurred in situations which satisfied this minimum frequency criterion. For a general discussion of minimum frequency rules, see Miethe, Hart, and Regoeczi (2008), Miethe and Regoeczi (2004), and Ragin (1987).…”

National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) data (n = 1,431) collected from 1995 through 2005 are used to examine the situational contexts associated with violence against college students. Findings from the conjunctive analysis indicate that violence against college students occurs in a diverse yet concentrated pattern of situational contexts. The most common context of violence experienced by college students is minor assaults against males that occur off-campus and in front of bystanders. Finally, although off-campus violence is relatively more common than on-campus violence, most incidents of campus violence share situational contexts that are similar to off-campus incidents. Implications of these results on future research and public policy on reducing students' victimization risks are discussed.

“…In this study, the term "situational context" refers to a "conjunctive distribution of the categories within a series of relevant situational factors" (Hart & Miethe, 2008, p. 640). It serves as the unit of analysis and is the standard terminology used in conjunctive analysis (see e.g., Miethe, Hart, & Regoeczi, 2008;Miethe & Regoeczi, 2004). See the "Situational Context" sub-section found in the "Measurement of Variables" section to review the categories from situational variables combine to create the "situational contexts" used in the present analysis.…”
