533 - Section on Crime, Law, and Deviance Invited Session. Social Networks and Crime

Tue, August 19, 10:30am to 12:10pm, TBA

Session Submission Type: Paper Session

Abstract

Over the past several decades, the use of formal network methods and models has diffused across the social, behavioral, and health sciences. However, the application of social network analysis to the study of crime and deviance has lagged behind the larger diffusion of network analysis in sociology, a rather surprising fact given the inherent “group” nature of crime. In part, this lag results from the lack of relational data conducive to criminological investigation and analysis. This panel aims to advance our networked understanding of crime by bringing together a collection of papers using a variety of data—including administrative, survey, ethnographic, and historical materials—to address a range of interesting and relevant topics in the sociological study of crime and deviance.
