Measuring Global Spatial Autocorrelation with Data Reliability Information
Assessing spatial autocorrelation (SA) of statistical estimates such as means is a common practice in spatial analysis and statistics. Popular SA statistics implicitly assume that the reliability of the estimates is ... -
Spatial Autocorrelation for Massive Spatial Data: Verification of Efficiency and Statistical Power Asymptotics
Being a hot topic in recent years, many studies have been conducted with spatial data containing massive numbers of observations. Because initial developments for classical spatial autocorrelation statistics are based on ... -
Just Do It? An Examination of Race on Attitudes Associated with Nike’s Advertisement Featuring Colin Kaepernick
The relationship between race and just about any social issue has been and continues to be controversial. Within the context of literature on public opinion regarding sports and social movements, this study considers the ... -
Implementing Moran Eigenvector Spatial Filtering for Massively Large Georeferenced Datasets
Moran eigenvector spatial filtering (MESF) furnishes an alternative method to account for spatial autocorrelation in linear regression specifications describing georeferenced data, although spatial auto-models also are ... -
Spatiotemporal Association between Temperature and Assaults: A Generalized Linear Mixed-Model Approach
We aim to analyze the association between temperature and assault at highly disaggregated spatial units with great temporal resolution to investigate their spatiotemporal dynamics. We applied generalized linear mixed models ... -
TwoRavens for Event Data
Event data contains information for descriptive, predictive and inferential statistical analysis of political and social actions. The varied formats and large size of event datasets present considerable difficulties for ... -
Opposition Support and the Experience of Violence Explain Colombian Peace Referendum Results
What factors led to the surprise defeat of the Colombian peace referendum? Initial analyses suggested a link between support for peace and the experience of violence, but economic conditions and political support for ... -
White-Collar Crime Is Crime: Victims Hurt Just the Same
No abstract available. From the beginning of the article: "Scholars examining public perceptions of crime seriousness have long shown, through their findings, that white‐collar crimes are considered as equally serious as ... -
Understanding the Link between Organizational Communication and Innovation: An Examination of Public, Nonprofit, and For-Profit Organizations in South Korea
Innovation and internal communication are essential for any successful organization. Although communication within organizations has long been studied in the for-profit sector, we still know little about the impact of ... -
Network-Based Likelihood Modeling of Event Occurrences in Space and Time: A Case Study of Traffic Accidents in Dallas, Texas, USA
We propose a novel approach to network-based event likelihood modeling that estimates the probabilities of event occurrences on a network and identifies the influences of site and situation characteristics. Our premise is ... -
The Linkage Between Mental Health, Delinquency, and Trajectories of Delinquency: Results from the Boricua Youth Study
Purpose: To examine the longitudinal relationship between depression, delinquency, and trajectories of delinquency among Hispanic children and adolescents. Methods: Propensity score matching is used to match depressed and ... -
Fiscal Effects of Municipal Annexation: Evidence from a Large National Sample of Urban Municipalities
This paper examines the relationship between annexation and municipal finance and addresses a gap in the literature by studying the role of revenue structure and fiscal constraints. Using a large national sample of urban ... -
Guns or Money? Defense Co-Operation and Bilateral Lending as Coevolving Networks
How are defense co-operation and economic co-operation related? To answer this question, this article analyzes the coevolution of defense co-operation agreements (DCAs) and government-to-government loans. It argues that ... -
Comparing Logging and Subsistence Values of Plants Across an Indigenous Peoples’ Influenced Landscape
The ecosystem services derived from tropical plants sustain local societies and make significant contributions to the global economy. Often many types of ecosystem services are derived from a single plant species, introducing ... -
A Spatial-Filtering Zero-Inflated Approach to the Estimation of the Gravity Model of Trade
Nonlinear estimation of the gravity model with Poisson-type regression methods has become popular for modelling international trade flows, because it permits a better accounting for zero flows and extreme values in the ... -
Creating Optimal Patrol Areas Using the P-Median Model
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the use of the p-median model to construct optimal patrol areas. This can improve both time spent traveling to calls, as well as equalize call load between patrol areas. ... -
Changing the Relationship between Impulsivity and Antisocial Behavior: The Impact of a School Engagement Program
This study examines the extent to which a third-party policing experiment designed to prevent truancy in disadvantaged adolescents is able to weaken the effect of impulsivity on self-reported antisocial behavior over time. ... -
Experiences Versus Perceptions: Do Students Agree That They Have Been Bullied?
Each year, an estimated 30% of school children experience bullying by their classmates. While research has explored the prevalence of bullying, the causes of bullying, and the consequences of bullying, less attention has ... -
Crime in College Predicts Violent Crime in the National Football League
The relationship between past and future crime is one of the most robust findings within criminology. Yet, there have been few attempts to examine whether this linkage holds in specific employment arenas. In this study, ... -
Causal Inference from Pivotal Politics Theories
We review attempts to evaluate Pivotal Politics and related theories in light of the social sciences’ movement toward causal empiricism. To accommodate limitations of available data, most existing empirical approaches ...
