摘要:
Longitudinal data show that black female heads remain on welfare substantially longer than white female heads. The median length of time on public assistance for white women is 21.6 months, while black women remain a median of 45.2 months. In order to explain these differences, several demographic variables were controlled for—education, employment status, number of children, and age. By doing so, the aggregate racial difference in the length of welfare use was eliminated. Black and white women with similar characteristics behave identically in their use of welfare. A theoretical model placing these findings in the larger context of opportunity and culture is developed in the concluding section. It is argued that length of welfare use ultimately reflects the role of opportunity rather than race.

摘要:
Cohen and Felson's (1979) theory of “routine activities” is evaluated using 1972 and 1980 crime rate data for 676 American suburbs. Cross-sectional and change influences of criminal motivation (percent poor, percent unemployed, percent black, and percent youth), criminal opportunities (employment concentration and percent multiple housing) and guardianship (police employment, police expenditure, and female labor force nonparticipation) on suburban crime rates, 1980 and change in crime rates, 1972–80 are estimated using maximum likelihood (LISREL) techniques. Consistent with the routine activities model, a multiplicative effect of the preconditions for crime on crime rates is also estimated. Motivation, opportunities, and guardianship are found to have direct and/or indirect additive effects on violent and/or property crime rates—supporting the “routine activities” model. A multiplicative effect of the preconditions of crime is found for property crime but not for violent crime rates.
