Re-analyses of J.P Rushton's crime data

چکیده
Rkeemment, Rushton affirmait qu 'il existe des diff~rences importantes dans les taux de criminalitg entre les groupes raciaux. Ses mthodes d'analyse statistique (l'analyse de variance), cependant, ne fait pas ressortir la grandeur de ces difflrences. Les auteurs ont rO-analys les donnes de Rushton et dmontrent qu 'il n 'y a pas de rapports fermes entre les facteurs (le coifficient de corr~lation moyen itait .24, ce qui laisse supposer que moins de 6% de la variance est commune). Les tendances gtaientfaibles et contradictoires (70.8% des co~fficients sont oufaibles ou sans importance). Les donnges de Rushton semblent indiquer qu 'en se basant sur le facteur racial comme prdicteur de criminalitM il en r~sulterait un taux tr~s lev ( . %o) defaux-positifs.

متن کاملEditorial: crime patterns in time and space: the dynamics of crime opportunities in urban areas
The routine activity approach and associated crime pattern theory emphasise how crime emerges from spatio-temporal routines. In order to understand this crime should be studied in both space and time. However, the bulk of research into crime patterns and related activities has investigated the spatial distributions of crime, neglecting the temporal dimension. Specifically, disaggregation of cri...
