In an attempt to study the ecological correlates of various forms of social disequilibrium, census tract characteristics in a moderately large western city were analyzed. Measures of social disequilibrium were found to be highly intercorrelated over tracts. Some community characteristics were identified which bear a significant relationship to these measures of socially deviant behavior. Attention was given to the methodological problems and possibilities in the use of correlational data to suggest cause-effect relationships.
为了研究各种形式社会失衡的生态关联，对西部一个中等规模城市的普查区特征进行了分析。结果发现，社会失衡指标在各普查区之间高度相关。确定了一些与这些社会越轨行为指标有显著关系的社区特征。研究还关注了使用相关数据来推断因果关系时的方法问题和可能性。
