Specifying the gender-class-delinquency relationship: exploring the effects of educational expectations
Article Abstract:
Feminist criminologists and social psychologists are implying that researchers should explore the effects of class and gender on crime and delinquency in relation to individual lives. Educational expectations have significant relations to class and delinquency as far as the extent of involvement is concerned. Future studies on these issues should include racial groups and poverty status which are equally important considerations in the endeavor to draw a rational conclusion on the effects of class and gender on crime.

Crime and unemployment: effects across age and race categories
Article Abstract:
Research determined the age and race-specific relationships between crime and unemployment with the use of the Cant and Lander model and a fuller model derived from three recent studies. A time-series analysis also explored the unemployment and arrest rates for homicide, robbery and burglary for the US from 1959-1987 was employed. Findings show that unemployment influences the crime rates of most age groups and both Afro-American and White race. The interpretations and implications of such results were discussed.

The criminalization of hate: a comparison of structural and polity influences on the passage of 'bias-crime' legislation in the United States
Article Abstract:
The impact of structural and polity factors on the adoption of hate crime legislation throughout the US was investigated. Specifically, logistic regression analysis of hate crime statutes and social indicator data was carried out to determine the social influences on the enactment of laws against 'bias-motivated violence and intimidation.' The results suggest that the criminalization of hate is not just a reaction to isolated polity and structural variables.
