“…Using the 2000 Census, we measure residential instability as the percentage of individuals age 5 years and older who are living in a residence different from the one in which they lived five years earlier. Low rates of home ownership can also be a source of weak community cohesion (Krivo and Peterson 2000), so we include the percentage of homes in a county that are not owner-occupied.…”

Voting to Ban Same-Sex Marriage: Interests, Values, and Communities

From 2000 through 2008, initiatives proposing to ban same-sex marriage were on the ballot in 28 states. Although same-sex marriage opponents scored lopsided victories in most cases, voting outcomes varied substantially at the county level. This article examines sources of that variation and argues that opposition to same-sex marriage should be strong in communities characterized by the predominance of traditional gender roles and family structure. Perhaps more interestingly, the analysis also shows that the effects of traditional family structure and gender roles are especially strong in counties characterized by weak community cohesion, as indicated by residential instability, low rates of home ownership, and high crime rates.

“…As noted earlier, a growing body of literature has identified these covariates as robust predictors of violent crime rates (Krivo and Peterson, 2000;Land et al, 1990;Messner and Golden, 1992;Parker and McCall, 1999;Wadsworth and Kubrin, 2004). Many are highly correlated, however, and produce collinearity when individually included in models.…”

Proactive Policing and Robbery Rates Across U.S. Cities*

et al. 2010

In recent years, criminologists, as well as journalists, have devoted considerable attention to the potential deterrent effect of what is sometimes referred to as "proactive" policing. This style of policing entails the vigorous enforcement of laws against relatively minor offenses in order to prevent more serious crime. The current study examines the effect of proactive policing on robbery rates for a sample of large U.S. cities using an innovative measure developed by Sampson and Cohen (1988). We replicate their cross-sectional analyses using data from 2000-2003, a period during which proactive policing is likely to have become more common than the period of the original study-the early 1980s. We also extend their analyses by estimating a more comprehensive regression model that incorporates additional theoretically-relevant predictors. Finally, we advance previous research in this area by using panel data. The crosssectional analyses replicate prior findings of a negative relationship between proactive policing and robbery rates. In addition, our dynamic models suggest that proactive policing is endogenous to changes in robbery rates. When this feedback between robbery and proactive policing is eliminated, we find further evidence that proactive policing reduces robbery rates.

“…Due to its direct impact on quality of life in the community, and the availability of data, crime has been a central focus of such discussions. Criminological literature presents empirical support of the relation between concentrated disadvantage and crime (Krivo and Peterson 2000;M. R. Lee and Ousey 2005;Parker 2004;Parker and McCall 1999).…”

The legacy of deindustrialization and associated underemployment continues to plague many former industrial communities. In these spaces, universities serve as anchors providing gateways for individual economic empowerment, and as 'brain centers' charged with generating solutions for societal problems. This paper explores the development of The Center for Strategic Ingepreneurship (CSI) at Coppin State University in Baltimore, Maryland. Strategic Ingepreneurship is seen here as a practical, innovative, solution-based approach to address underperforming job creation. The Center will serve as a university-based entity to facilitate the development and dissemination of ingepreneurial knowledge and skills through research, teaching, and practice.
