Social Science in Court
The 1954 landmark school desegregation decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, v. Board of Education, was part of one of the most extensive and tumultuous social/legal movements in the nation s history. The authors of this study employ the school desegregation movement to examine the role of social scientists, and social science, in the litigation process. Covering seventeen desegregation cases in litigation after 1970, they bring together the perspe…
A Framework for Studying Family Socialization Over the Life Cycle
Theoretical and empirical work on family socialization focuses on the process by which parents transmit values to their children. This work tends to rely on the unstated assumption that individuals live in only two families during their lives: the family of origin and the family of procreation. Behavior is learned in the childhood family and transmitted to the marital/childbearing family unit formed later in life. This limiting assumption discour…

The results indicate that observing hitting between one's parents is more strongly related to involvement in severe marital aggression than is being hit as a teenager by one's parents. In addition, the modeling of marital aggression does not appear…
The Relevance of "Irrelevant" Testimony
Why do attorneys utilize social science experts in school desegregation cases? Although experts often testify for both parties in these cases, plaintiff lawyers are more likely than defense lawyers to call upon them. Plaintiff lawyers appear to have easier access to a network of scholars willing to testify. Moreover, plaintiff lawyers have a set of social theories and legal strategies that often requires the use of social science expertise. Altho…
Political Conflict in Applied Scholarship
Social scientists recognize that applied scholarship often generates political conflict, yet these conflicts have not been systematically studied. This paper investigates two types of political conflict experienced by social and educational scientists who testified as expert witnesses in school desegregation cases in the United States. Personal political conflict results from the perception of expert witnesses that their political stance is at od…
