“…One can easily discern comparable ideas concerning the role that social interdependencies play in the reduction of crime in the recent theoretical statements of Braithwaite (1989) andCullen (1994). Moreover, one could trace the theory's core insight that pro-social values foster conformity to: social exchange theory's discussion of the impact of intrinsic exchange and norms of reciprocity on social integration (Blau, 1964;Gouldner, 1960);Angell's (1942;1947) examination of the moral integration of cities; and Durkheim's (1933;1951) exposition of the relationship between macro-social integration and rates of deviance.…”

This present investigation, drawing on social altruism theory, considers the feasibility of manipulating the federal tax code to reduce the level of crime across macro-social units. The OLS regression analyses of state level data reveal that the ratio of tax deductible contributions to the total number of returns is positively related to violent, and to a lesser extent property, crime rates. The implications of these findings for social theory and social policy are discussed.

“…Composite indicators (or summary indices) have been constructed by sociologists with the aim at comparing social units like cities and nations with respect to multiple dimensions of social life at least since the paper of Angell (1942) on the social integration of American cities (Blalock 1982). Nowadays there is a large and growing body of literature on the construction of composite indicators of well-being: the quality of life indices (Cox et al 1992;Fayers and Hand 2002;Hagerty and Land 2007).…”

A survey has been performed in collaboration with the National Association of\ud the Municipalities of Italy (Veneto region) to study the role of the municipalities with\ud regard to the local area, to reconceptualize the profile of public directors and to study\ud municipal directors as far as requirements in terms of competencies for skills and training\ud are concerned. In the paper the importance of municipal director requirements for skills\ud and training is assessed using composite indicators. The analysis showed that the most\ud important skill requirements refer to internal aspects of the organization, whereas the most\ud important training requirements refer also to external aspects. The analysis has been repeated\ud on the strata of municipal directors obtained by considering municipality population,\ud director sex, length of service, education and opinions about municipal mission. It is\ud shown that the various strata of directors are rather concordant in assessing the importance\ud of skill and training requirements. Municipal directors are aware of Italian public administration\ud now being oriented toward new public management where they are assessed\ud according to the results they produce. The robustness of the results has been addressed\ud using uncertainty analysis

“…Les premières tentatives d'opérationnalisation de la notion d'intégration remontent aux années 1940, coïncidant avec l'essor de la quantification et l'élaboration d'indices en sciences sociales et politiques (Angell, 1942(Angell, , 1949(Angell, , 1972. Ces tentatives sont loin de faire l'unanimité : elles correspondent souvent à une commande sociale extérieure au champ académique, et leur élaboration théorique apparaît souvent secondaire : c'est sur ce dernier point que les débats porteront, des indices de ségrégation à ceux d'aliénation.…”
