<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: ";Times New Roman";,";serif";;">The author notes that despite the fact that the fight to move crime prevention to a more prominent place in the public agenda has been partially won after decades of effort, there is nonetheless a significant segment of the population and legislators who still believe that "cracking down on crime" is the best way to protect society. Some policy-makers have now been convinced that crime prevention is a better way of controlling crime than tinkering with laws and fine-tuning the justice system, but unless crime prevention advocates can continue to demonstrate that the time and money now going to crime prevention produces results, the author argues there is a risk of losing what has been gained. He </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: ";Times New Roman";,";serif";;" lang="EN-GB">describes some of what we know about the causation of crime and delinquency, links these findings with crime reduction strategies, and looks at some of the evidence concerning the effectiveness of these crime prevention programs. He observes sardonically that if reducing crime were a simple task, Canada would have become crime-free many years ago.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: " lang="EN-CA"></span>

Leadership and Change in Winnipeg's Smart Policing Initiative

In: Policing: a journal of policy and practice, Band 15, Heft 1, S. 181-196

Catte, Ryan; Linden, Rick

ISSN: 1752-4520

Abstract
If evidence-based policing is to be successful, we need to know more about how leaders can successfully introduce change into their organizations. This study looks at a Smart Policing Initiative (SPI) implemented by the Winnipeg Police Service. Line officers and management personnel were interviewed to determine how they dealt with the implementation of SPI. We used activity data to determine whether officers actually carried out the activities integral to the SPI programme. The research concludes that there was attitudinal 'buy-in' to the programme and that the officers did carry out the proactive policing activities mandated by the programme.

The Impact of Law Reform on the Processing of Sexual Assault Cases*

In: Canadian Review of Sociology/Revue canadienne de sociologie, Band 34, Heft 2, S. 155-174

Gunn, Rita; Linden, Rick

ISSN: 1755-618X

Cet article présente les résultats d'une étude qui avait pour but de mesurer les repercussions de la loi C‐127 sur la manière de procéder de l'appareil policier et judiciaire de Winnipeg dans les cas de violence sexuelle. La nouvelle loi ayant comme objectif de corriger certaines failles dans la procédure juridictionnelle, les auteurs ont opté pour l'analyse de régression logistique afin d'examiner les conséquences de plusieurs variables indépendantes sur le nombre des inculpations et des condamnations, et ce avant et après l'adoption de la loi. Cette méthode nous a permis de déterminer si la réforme de la loi sur le viol a conduit à des changements dans la manière dont ces variables indépendantes influent sur les inculpations et condamnations. La recherche tend à démontrer que la réforme n'a eu qu'un effet modéré sur l'examen des cas de violence sexuelle.This paper presents the results of an evaluation of the impact of Bill C‐127 on the processing of sexual assault cases through the criminal justice system in Winnipeg. Because the law was intended to change the way in which sexual assault cases were treated by the courts, the authors employed logistic regression to examine the impact of several independent variables on charges and convictions before and after the new legislation. Logistic regression made it possible to determine whether the rape reform legislation led to changes in the way these independent variables affect charge and conviction. The research suggests the legislative reform has had only a modest impact on the treatment of sexual assault cases.

Administering Justice Without the State: A Study of the Private Justice System of the Hudson's Bay Company to 1800

In: Canadian journal of law and society: Revue canadienne de droit et société, Band 11, Heft 1, S. 21-61

Smandych, Russell; Linden, Rick

ISSN: 1911-0227

AbstractIn 1670, a royal charter granted by the English monarchy gave the Hudson's Bay Company the exclusive right to rule over an area that encompasses most of what is now the western part of Canada. As part of its original charter, the Hudson's Bay Company was given the power to enact any laws and regulations not repugnant to the laws of England that were deemed necessary to govern its relations with its servants and to maintain social order throughout the vast territory known as Rupertsland. This paper examines the development of the "private" legal system of the Hudson's Bay Company to 1800. Particular attention is given to examining the specific methods of legal ordering and social control that were used within the Company to discipline Company employees. The data examined in the study provide an empirical foundation for broader theorizing about the nature of non-state forms of governance, legal pluralism, and social control. Specifically, the study provides evidence which shows the complex and varied ways in which legal ordering and social control occur outside the state

Causal inferences in non‐experimental research: a reply to Gomme

In: Canadian Review of Sociology/Revue canadienne de sociologie, Band 22, Heft 4, S. 579-585

LINDEN, RICK; FILLMORE, CATHY

ISSN: 1755-618X

In his 'Comment' Gomme raises two objections: first, that the Simon‐Blalock procedure for testing causal ordering is meaningless and misleading; second, that he has developed a model which better fits the data than the model presented in our paper. In response, we shall deal with each criticism separately

A comparative study of delinquency involvement*

In: Canadian Review of Sociology/Revue canadienne de sociologie, Band 18, Heft 3, S. 343-361

LINDEN, RICK; FILLMOKE, CATHY

ISSN: 1755-618X

Cette étude vise L'analyse de données sur la délinquance recueillies à Edmonton, Alberta et à Richmond, Californie. La nature et L'ampleur de la délinquance révélée sont évaluées pour les sujets masculins et féminins des deux endroits. A partir d'une théorie qui integre les éléments des théories d'association différentielle et de régulation sociale, les épiphe‐nomènes de la délinquance dans les deux villes sont comparés. Les résultats indiquent une similitude dans la nature, L'ampleur et les causes de la délinquance bien que ces aspects ne soient pas identiques dans les deux régions étudiées.The paper analyzes data from delinquency studies carried out in Edmonton, Alberta and in Richmond, California. The nature and extent of self‐reported delinquency are examined for males and females in the two studies. Using a theory which represents an integration of differential association and control theories, correlates of delinquency in the two cities are compared. The study concludes that the nature, extent, and causes of delinquency are similar, though not identical, in the two communities studied.

Properties of Norms as Predictors of Alcohol Use among Mennonites

In: Journal of drug issues: JDI, Band 10, Heft 1, S. 93-107

Currie, Raymond; Linden, Rick; Driedger, Leo

ISSN: 1945-1369

In spite of the traditionally important role that the concept of "norms" has played in sociology, there is little agreement on how it should be defined or measured. This paper uses the framework suggested by Gibbs (1965, 1972, 1978) who proposes that we focus on normative properties whose presence or absence is a matter of degree. The set of normative properties analyzed in this paper relate to collective evaluations about alcohol use among Mennonites in Canada. Variation in degree of group agreement, evaluative intensity, saliency of the issue, permissible variation in situations and actors are measured. Regression procedures are used to test the relationship between these normative properties about alcohol use and self-reported alcohol consumption in five independently selected samples of Mennonites. Since the groups vary in their evaluation of alcohol use, the usefulness of the normative properties as predictors of behavior can be tested. While the percent of the variance explained is high and quite consistent across the groups, the relative importance of the normative properties within and between the groups varies substantially.

Interpersonal ties and alcohol use among Mennonites

In: Canadian Review of Sociology/Revue canadienne de sociologie, Band 22, Heft 4, S. 559-573

LINDEN, RICK; CURRIE, RAYMOND F.; DRIEDGER, LEO

ISSN: 1755-618X

Les divergences significatives au sujet de l'usage de l'alcool entre les peuples de pays différents et entre différents groupes, à l'intérieur de ces pays, montrent que les facteurs culturels sont des déterminants importants de l'usage de l'alcool. La recherche faite sur ces relations suggère que c'est le milieu social auquel un individu appartient qui fournit le mécanisme à travers lequel les normes culturelles au sujet de l'usage de l'alcool influencent le comportement de l'individu. Ce texte, examine l'effet des liens interpersonnels sur le comportement d'un échantillon national de Ménnonites canadiens vis‐à‐vis de l'usage de l'alcool en se servant d'un modèle théorique combine le contrôle social avec les théories d'association différentielle. On a découvert que l'usage de la boisson est relié aux préférences de comportement des personnes de référence. Ces effets ont semblé varier selon l'intimité de la relation avec cette personne particulièrement et selon la visibilité de l'acteur par rapport à chaque associé.The widely different patterns of alcohol use among people of different countries and among different groups within countries make it apparent that cultural factors are important determinants of alcohol use. Research on this relationship suggests that it is the social groups to which an individual belongs that provide the mechanism through which the cultural norms regarding alcohol use influence the individual's behaviour.This paper examines the effect of interpersonal ties on the drinking behaviour of a national sample of Canadian Mennonites, using a theoretical model which combines social control and differential association theories. Drinking was found to be related to the behavioural preferences of reference others. These effects varied with the closeness of the relationship with that particular associate, and with the visibility of the actor to each associate.
