SUBSTANTIVE GAPS RELATE TO INDICES OF ANOMIE; STUDIES ON POLITICS, POWER, AND CRIME; APPLICATION OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODELS FOR PREDICTING CRIME RATES; POSSIBLE SPURIOUSNESS OF CULTURAL AND SUBCULTURAL THEORIES; DETERRENCE; STRUCTURAL STUDIES OF CRIME RATES AMONG FEMALES; CHANGES IN THE ETIOLOGY OF SOCIAL CRIME AND DEVIANCE OVER TIME; AND THE FAILURE OF THE PREDOMINANT CROSS-SECTIONAL STRUCTURAL RESEARCH MODEL OF THE 1950'S AND 1960'S TO CONTROL FOR IMPORTANT ECOLOGICAL VARIABLES. THE FOLLOWING RESEARCH PRACTICES ARE ADVISED: (1) USE OF CRIME RATES SPECIFIC TO AGE, RACE, AND SEX; (2) USE OF CITIES RATHER THAN STATES AS THE UNITS OF STUDY; (3) USE OF SPECIFIC CRIMES RATHER THAN GROUPS OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY CLASSIFICATIONS; AND (4) USE OF TIME SERIES.
