Criminologists often allude to 'peer influence' in explanations of crime and delinquency, but the meaning of that concept rarely receives careful attention. Companions in Crime organizes the extensive literature on peer influence and group delinquency into a coherent form for the first time. Chapters focus on the role of peers over the life course, the group nature of delinquent behavior, and the applicability of peer influence for explaining the major features of delinquent behavior. The most extensive chapter of the book examines possible mechanisms of peer influence and the evidence in favor of each. The principal thesis of Companions in Crime is that deviant behavior is predominantly social behavior, and criminologists must eventually determine the significance of that fact.

Internetgebruik brengt ook risico's met zich mee. Dit rapport behandelt het online risicogedrag van 9-16-jarigen in Nederland. Hoe vaak komen zij in aanraking met internetrisico's en hoe vaak ervaren zij dit zelf als vervelend? Typische internetrisico's zijn: online pestgedrag, het ontvangen van seksueel getinte beelden en boodschappen, en het leren kennen van vreemden met wie vervolgens offline contact ontstaat. Onderzocht is ook welke rol digitale vaardigheden spelen in de omgang met online risico's en wat de invloed is van ouders, docenten en vrienden. Het onderzoek is uitgevoerd op basis van gegevens uit 2010 verzameld in het kader van het EU Kids Online project.

How do corporations and other organizations maintain and transmit their cultures over time? 'Culture and Demography in Organizations' offers the most reliable and comprehensive answer to this complex question to date. The first book on the subject to ground its analysis in mathematical tools and computer simulation, it goes beyond standard approaches, which focus on socialization within organizations, by explicitly considering the effects of demographic processes of entry, exit, and organizational growth. J. Richard Harrison and Glenn R. Carroll base their analysis on a formal model with three components: hiring, socialization, and employee turnover. In exploring the model's implications through computer simulation methods, the authors cover topics such as organizational growth and decline, top management teams, organizational influence networks, terrorist organizations, cultural integration following mergers, and organizational failure. For each topic, they identify the conditions influencing cultural transmission. In general, they find that demographic processes play a central role in influencing organizational culture and that studying these processes leads to some surprising insights unavailable when considering socialization alone. This book, which also serves as an ideal introduction to the increasingly popular use of computer simulation, will be an indispensable resource for scholars and students of organization theory and behavior, cultural studies, strategic management, sociology, economics, and social simulation.
