    Modern English Football Hooliganism: A Quantitative Exploration in Criminological Theory Rich A. Wallace Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology Carol A. Bailey, Co-Chair William E. Snizek, Co-Chair Clifton D. Bryant Charles J. Dudley Donald J. Shoemaker December 10, 1998 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Football Hooliganism, Criminology, Theory, Subcultural Delinquency Copyright 1998, Rich A. Wallace Modern English Football Hooliganism: A Quantitative Exploration in Criminological Theory Rich A. Wallace (ABSTRACT) Studies of football hooliganism have developed in a number of academic disciplines, yet little of this literature directly relates to criminology. The fighting, disorderly conduct, and destructive behavior of those who attend football matches, especially in Europe has blossomed over the past thirty years and deserves criminological attention. Football hooliganism is criminal activity, but is unique because of its context specific nature, occurring almost entirely inside the grounds or in proximity to the stadiums where the matches are played. This project explores the need for criminological explanations of football hooligans and their behavior based on literature which indicates that subcultural theories may be valuable in understanding why this behavioral pattern has become a preserve for young, white, working-class males. This study employs Albert Cohen’s (1955) theory of subcultural delinquency to predict the hooligan activities of young, white, working-class males. West and Farrington’s longitudinal study, the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development provides a wealth of data on numerous topics, including hooliganism, and is used to explore the link between hooliganism and criminological theory.

  • A Tool for Study of Urban Greenery
    E. Batala & T. Tsitsoni, Int. J. Sus. Dev. Plann. Vol. 4, No. 4 (2009) 345–356 STREET TREE HEALTH ASSESSMENT SYSTEM: A TOOL FOR STUDY OF URBAN GREENERY E. BATALA & T. TSITSONI Faculty of Forestry and Natural Environment, Laboratory of Silviculture, Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece. ABSTRACT This study deals with the recording of tree health and the evaluation of the greenery ratio, with a view to increase it, in three representative street trees in Thessaloniki city, North Greece. The three street trees are representative because of the species composition and the health of the trees on one hand and the flow of traffic on the other hand. The three street trees investigated in this study are located along three central roads of Thessaloniki city, namely Nikis Avenue, Egnatia Street and Karamanli Avenue. The study also includes the formulation of proposals in order to make some improvement in the choice of suitable species so as to increase the amount of greenery in the city. The results show that the most important problems related to tree health in the three streets are the leaves being attacked by insects and fungi as well as dry and broken branches of the crown. The majority of trees have moderate health. The greenery ratio in the three street trees is evaluated by the greenery’s surface and volume indicators, which are calculated depending not only on the number of trees but also on the surface and volume of their crowns. Finally, a linear model for the greenery’s volume indicator is estimated which depends on tree height, crown length and crown projection on the ground.

    THESSALONIKI PROPERTY MARKET 2nd Semester 2018 Economic Overview According to official statistics provided by the Hellenic Statistical Authority (HSA) for the 2nd quarter of 2018, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in volume terms recorded a decrease compared to the 1st quarter of 2018. Graph: Gross Domestic Product in 2009-2018 volume terms. Data with seasonal and calendar adjustments (Year of reference: 2010). Variations quarterly and annually Source: ELSTAT According to the quarterly report (January 2019) of the Foundation for Economic and Industrial Research (IOBE) for the Greek economy, the economic sentiment indicator in the 3rd quarter of 2018 moves at increased levels compared to the previous quarter, at a level of 2,2%, while it has improved compared to the corresponding specified period of last year’s. The improvement of the economy in key economic sectors is in line with the continuous and slightly gradual economic recovery that is currently been recorded. The economic improvement is mainly attributed to the small increase of investments at a level of 1,5% and to the decrease in the deficit of the balance sheet in the external sector. The improvement in expectations in businesses is also attributed to the improved international environment which favors exporting businesses and other industries that are involved in the particular economic sector. Despite the fact that there was no significant adverse development in the last quarter, the uncertainty remains at some degree due to other issues apart from economic such as issues of internal and external policies. The economic sentiment indicator for Greece records a decrease in the October-December 2018 quarter compared to the 2nd quarter of the same year.
