SUMMARY:Ethnicity and co-offending in gangs
DESCRIPTION:Guest speaker : Thomas GRUND\, who is currently a post-doctoral
  researcher at CICC and works on issues around social networks\, social dy
 namics and analytical sociology. Thomas studied computer science and socio
 logy at University of Trier (Diplom)\, University of Cambridge (MPhil) and
  University of Oxford (DPhil). Before coming to Quebec\, he held positions
  at ETH Zurich and Nuffield College in Oxford.Summary Despite acknowledgm
 ent of “hybrid” street gangs in the literature\, there is little syste
 matic research into ethnic heterogeneity within gangs. This study indicate
 s the importance of similarities between street gang members in terms of e
 thnicity for mapping the patterns of co-offending relationships. We recrea
 te the internal structure of a London-based street gang with exponential r
 andom graph models (ERGM).Our results refine the role of ethnicity for co-
 offending within gangs. While homophily is still prevalent\, the effect di
 minishes when triad closure is considered. Furthermore\, ethnic homophily 
 is more pronounced for some ethnic groups than for others. Lastly\, we ext
 end existing ERGM specifications and investigate the interaction between e
 thnic homophily and triad closure. Findings indicate that ethnic homophily
  is even stronger when it is embedded in triads. Using additional computer
  simulations we illustrate the complex interplay of homophily and triad cl
 osure in gangs.InformationConférence présentée par le Centre internatio
