"Liquor and Crime: An Examination of Crime Patterns Surrounding Liquor Establishments in Houston, TX" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CRIMINOLOGY, Atlanta Marriott Marquis, Atlanta, Georgia, Nov 14, 2007 <Not Available>. 2009-12-05 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p200925_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: Previous research has found that liquor establishments are often associated with higher levels of criminal activity. They have been identified as crime attractors/magnets and are often characterized as providing a meeting ground for motivated offenders, suitable targets in an area lacking capable guardians. Much of this research has failed however to include both a temporal and spatial element in the analyses. Liquor distribution points have been treated as stable locations, and often it has not been determined what crime rates in the area were prior to the opening of the establishment. These analyses examine this problem by focusing on the crime trends both within a limited spatial area surrounding liquor establishments, and by examining how these trends vary over time. |

Abstract: This paper aims to investigate the construction of gender and sexuality within the newspaper stories that form the basis of the film and stage play “Chicago”. Female involvement in violent crime is still considered especially deviant, and therefore, makes very appealing subject matter for both newspapers and entertainment purposes. The paper examines how the original news stories of real women’s offending in the early twentieth century led to the creation of the fictional women in “Chicago” story. The argument includes an analysis of news reporting of these real events in comparison to how female offenders are portrayed in the film and play. I suggest that stereotypical notions of gender and sexuality construct the way in which female offending is reported in the media, and how it is performed in the fictional translation of the news stories. |
