Multilevel analyses showed that a measure of collective efficacy yields a high between-neighborhood reliability and is negatively associated with variations in violence, when individual-level characteristics, measurement error, and prior violence are controlled.

The systemic effects are found to be overwhelming: there is no simple correspondence of individual incentive to collective results, and a general theory of ‘tipping’ begins to emerge.

This paper develops the concepts and methods of a process “alignment of computational models” or “docking” for short, needed to determine whether two models can produce the same results, which in turn is the basis for critical experiments and for tests of whether one model can subsume another.

This work develops a model of two-party spatial elections that departs from the standard model in three respects: parties' information about voters' preferences is limited to polls, and parties are not perfect optimizers, that is, they are modelled as boundedly rational adaptive actors.
