This theory, originating in the social control theoretical tradition, is tested in an analysis of homicide rates (circa 2012) across 108 nations. Overall, institutional legitimacy theory receives support as economic, political, familial, and religious institutional legitimacy assist in reducing homicide rates across societies. Most notably, homicide is positively associated with the size of the shadow economy (the measure of waning economic institutional legitimacy), consistent with the hypothesis that parties lacking institutional redress are more likely to use unilateral violence to resolve grievances.}, number={1}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE AND APPLIED CRIMINAL JUSTICE}, author={Tuttle, James}, year={2019}, pages={13–27} } @article{tuttle_mccall_land_2018, title={Latent Trajectories of Cross-National Homicide Trends: Structural Characteristics of Underlying Groups}, volume={22}, ISSN={["1552-6720"]}, DOI={10.1177/1088767918774083}, abstractNote={ Relative to studies of U.S. homicide trends, few have investigated cross-national trends. We explore hidden heterogeneity across a sample of 82 nations between 1980 and 2010, and examine (a) what distinct latent trajectories are represented among these nations? and (b) what structural factors characterize these latent trajectory groups? World Health Organization mortality data were used for the trajectory analyses wherein three distinct groups were identified. Structural characteristics of each group are compared to determine which factors account for their trajectories. Characteristics that predicted group placement include a development index, divorced males, female labor force participation, and Latin American region. }, number={4}, journal={HOMICIDE STUDIES}, author={Tuttle, James and McCall, Patricia L. and Land, Kenneth C.}, year={2018}, month={Nov}, pages={343–369} } @article{morris_tuttle_essic_2009, title={A partnership framework for geospatial data preservation in north carolina}, volume={57}, DOI={10.1353/lib.0.0050}, abstractNote={The North Carolina Geospatial Data Archiving Project (NCGDAP) is a joint project of the NC State University Libraries and the NC Center for Geographic Information and Analysis focusing on collection and preservation of state and local agency digital geospatial data resources. The project is being carried out in collaboration with the Library of Congress under the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) in a partnership with the NC OneMap initiative, a statewide framework for data coordination and distribution. A core project objective is the engagement of established spatial data infrastructure in the challenge of long-term preservation of digital geospatial data. Key issues related to engaging spatial data infrastructure include initiation of data inventories, development of content exchange networks, cultivation of metadata standards and practices, and leveraging the experience of agencies that are already making efforts to retain historical data. The NCGDAP work triggered the creation of new data preservation partnerships both within the state and across a set of states that are participating in a new NDIIPP Multistate initiative.}, number={3}, journal={Library Trends}, author={Morris, S. and Tuttle, J. and Essic, J.}, year={2009}, pages={516–540} } @inproceedings{morris_tuttle_2007, title={Curation and preservation of complex data: North Carolina Geospatial Data Archiving Project}, booktitle={Digital Content Curation 2007, Chapel Hill, NC}, author={Morris, S. and Tuttle, J.}, year={2007}, pages={1–9} } @inproceedings{morris_tuttle_farrell_2006, title={Preservation of state and local government digital geospatial data: The North Carolina Geospatial Data Archiving Project}, booktitle={Archiving 2006: Final program and proceedings}, publisher={Springfield, VA: Society for Imaging Science and Technology}, author={Morris, S. and Tuttle, J. and Farrell, R.}, year={2006}, pages={45–48} }
