The Chronicle of Higher Education: Colloquy

COLLOQUY
THE QUESTION
RESPONSES
BACKGROUND

I enjoyed Mr. Miller's thoughtful, careful, and encompassing article on 'poking holes in broken windows.' I have only two amplifications:

  1. The number of neighborhoods we followed was 66 for some analyses, and 36 for others.
  2. Of the data sources cited that directly "measure" disorder -- Skogan's, Sampson's, Harcourt's -- ours are I believe the first that are longitudinal over a substantial period of time.
-- Ralph Taylor, professor, Temple University (posted 2/5, 10:50 a.m., U.S. Eastern time)

The Chronicle maintains Colloquy as an open forum where readers can comment on issues. Submissions may be condensed or edited for clarity, but editing is kept to a minimum. We correct errors in spelling, punctuation, etc. In addition, we remove statements that have the potential to be libelous or to slander someone. In cases in which people make claims that could be libelous, we will remove the names of institutions and departments. But in those cases, we will not alter the ideas contained in the submissions.
