Rural Crime and Social Capital

Abstract: This study explores rural U.S. crime patterns with a focus on social capital. We use a triangulation of three core theories of crime including social disorganization, anomie/strain, and rational choice theories to develop a formal theory and an empirical framework. The role of four unique measures of social capital is explored in understanding patterns of rural crime using nonmetropolitan U.S. county data. The empirical results generally support the theoretical predictions and conclude that rural communities t… Show more

“…Yet, there is growing interest in understanding the nature of crime in rural communities and how officials have responded to these offenses (Deller and Deller, 2010;Falcone, Wells, and Weisheit, 2002;Lee and Thomas, 2010;Payne, Berg, and Sun, 2005). Some of this increasing attention may result from Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) data that show high rates of crime in some rural areas.…”

“…Dicho en otras palabras, es un conflicto entre fines y medios (Merton, 1968). De ahí que, desde este enfoque, la pobreza, la desigualdad y el ''efecto envidia'' sean los condicionales de dicha intención (Kelly, 2000;Deller & Deller, 2010). Entretanto que la tensión de Agnew (1992), variante que le atribuye orígenes más emocionales que estructurales a las causales del delito, argumenta que cuando las personas son desatendidas, rechazadas o ignoradas de algún modo, optarán por el crimen como reacción.…”

“…A decir de ello, considérese, por ejemplo, que el capital social, definido como las pautas relacionadas con la colaboración y contribución efectiva entre los individuos de una comunidad (Ostrom, 1990;Fukuyama, 1995), se encuentra íntimamente vinculado con la confianza (Ostrom & Anh, 2007). No es casual que vasta literatura científi-ca asocie directamente a uno y otro (Rosenfeld, Messner & Baumer, 2001;Lederman et al 2002;Deller & Deller, 2010;Vieno et al 2010;Hall et al 2014). De ahí que si la confianza es el elemento indispensable en la conformación del así llamado capital social (Ostrom & Anh, 2007), se infiera que también tenga un rol preponderante con la intención criminal.…”
