  • Social science
  • Statistics
  • Poverty

Robert J. Sampson connects relevant research areas such as Friendship and Collective efficacy in the realm of Social psychology. Friendship and Social psychology are two areas of study in which Robert J. Sampson engages in interdisciplinary work. His study on Developmental psychology is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Life course approach and Juvenile delinquency. His Social science research is linked to Collective efficacy and Social control, among other subjects. In his research, Robert J. Sampson performs multidisciplinary study on Criminology and Social control. Robert J. Sampson integrates Law with Criminology in his study. While working on this project, Robert J. Sampson studies both Statistics and Deviance (statistics). He undertakes multidisciplinary investigations into Deviance (statistics) and Statistics in his work. His study deals with a combination of Demography and Social science.

His most cited work include:

  • Neighborhoods and Violent Crime: A Multilevel Study of Collective Efficacy (9543 citations)
  • Community Structure and Crime: Testing Social-Disorganization Theory (3650 citations)
  • Assessing “Neighborhood Effects”: Social Processes and New Directions in Research (3269 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date

In the subject of general Inequality, his work in Mathematical analysis is often linked to Demographic economics, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Mathematical analysis is often connected to Inequality in his work. By researching both Criminology and Law, Robert J. Sampson produces research that crosses academic boundaries. In his works, Robert J. Sampson conducts interdisciplinary research on Law and Criminology. Many of his studies on Demography involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Population. His Demography research extends to Population, which is thematically connected. Robert J. Sampson merges many fields, such as Archaeology and Context (archaeology), in his writings. He undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Context (archaeology) and Archaeology through his works.

  • Demography (50.00%)
  • Mathematical analysis (45.00%)

In recent works Robert J. Sampson was focusing on the following fields of study:

His study on Law is interrelated to topics such as Disadvantage and Poverty. Robert J. Sampson is involved in relevant fields of research such as Disadvantaged, Gentrification and Poverty in the domain of Economic growth. Gentrification is frequently linked to Economic growth in his study. While working in this field, Robert J. Sampson studies both Demography and Demographic economics.

  • Poverty
  • Impulsivity

His study looks at the intersection of Geomorphology and topics like Lead (geology) with Paleontology. His Lead (geology) research extends to Paleontology, which is thematically connected. Law overlaps with fields such as Politics, Causation and Criminology in his research. He conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Criminology and Law through his research. His work in Social science is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Environmental sociology and Sociological research. His Environmental sociology study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Social science. Developmental psychology is integrated with Longitudinal study and Early childhood in his study. His work often combines Longitudinal study and Developmental psychology studies.
