Cross-Cultural Analysis
Intended to bridge the gap between the latest methodological developments and cross-cultural research, this interdisciplinary resource presents the latest strategies for analyzing cross-cultural data. Techniques are demonstrated through the use of applications that employ cross-national data sets such as the latest European Social Survey. With an emphasis on the generalized latent variable approach, internationally prominent researchers from a variety of fields explain how the methods work, how to apply them, and how they relate to other methods presented in the book. Syntax and graphical and verbal explanations of the techniques are included. Online resources, available at www.routledge.com...

Sozialwissenschaftliche Datenerhebung im digitalen Zeitalter
Neue Möglichkeiten der Datenerhebung mittels digitaler Technologien, aber auch die Verfügbarkeit prozessproduzierter Daten, die bei der Nutzung sozialer Medien, Smartphones oder sogenannter Wearables anfallen, bergen ein enormes Potenzial für die empirische Sozialforschung. Es erscheint vor diesem Hintergrund nicht übertrieben von einer digitalen Revolution in den Sozialwissenschaften zu sprechen, welche die empirische Sozialforschung mit neuen Herausforderungen und Fragestellungen konfrontiert. Der vorliegende Sammelband widmet sich diesem Themenkomplex mit überblicksartigen Beiträgen, Untersuchungen zur Datenqualität und praxisnahen Anwendungsbeispielen.

The Sociology of Shoplifting
In this absorbing study, Lloyd Klemke provides an up-to-date review and analysis of the sociological research and theoretical work on shoplifting. The analysis is structured by the three questions which dominate the sociology of deviance literature: (1) Who shoplifts and how do they do it? (the descriptive question); (2) why do they shoplift? (the etiological question); and (3) how do store personnel and the legal system deal with shoplifters? (the prevention/deterrence/labeling question). The author identifies the areas where consensus and confidence already exist in the research on shoplifting, then specifies the gaps in our knowledge, as well as areas of controversy and debate that contin...
Adolescent Crime
This book examines young people's involvement in crime (including crimes of violence, vandalism, shoplifting, burglary and car crime) as both victims and offenders. Although adolescence is the time when involvement in crime peaks, few previous UK-based studies have attempted to provide a methodical and comprehensive understanding of adolescent offending on a city-wide basis. This book seeks a better understanding of adolescent crime by studying the relationship between individual characteristics (social bonds and morality and self-control) and lifestyles (as defined by delinquent peers, substance use and exposure to risky behaviour settings) and their joint influence on adolescent involvement in crime, against the backdrop of the juveniles' social context - taking into account family, school and neighbourhood influences. The findings of this study suggest the existence of three main groups of adolescent offenders; propensity induced offenders, life-style dependent offenders and situationally limited offenders, groups of offenders having different causal backgrounds to their crime involvement, and who therefore may warrant different strategies for effective prevention.
