A New Process Model for Relationship‐Centred Shared Decision‐Making in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Settings
INTRODUCTION: We present a relationship-centred shared-decision-making (RCSDM) process model to explicate factors that shape decision-making processes during physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR) encounters among patients, their care partners and practitioners. Existing shared decision-making (SDM) models fall short in addressing the everyday decisions routinely made regarding persons with chronic disabilities who require high levels of supp…
You Don’t Need a Rocket Scientist to Figure Out What Could Happen”
Trials involving police as defendants are rare but are significant events that give insight into police violence and its adjudication. This article explores the reasoning practices through which court actors navigate the disjunctive accounts created by competing claims of “what happened” in a police shooting. The data is drawn from trial testimony of officers and “use of force experts” in police deadly force cases in the United States. We focus o…
Making the visible seen
We examine a 12-min video-recorded interaction among a patient (KN) in a disordered state of consciousness (DOC) and a speech language pathologist clinician (CL) that takes place in a medical rehabilitation setting. The video is a demonstration of how caregivers could use a clinical assessment to observe their loved one's behavior to communicate potential behavioral changes to healthcare professionals. The purpose of this paper is to make visible…
Negotiating Demands
Race and place
We propose an ecological dimension to racial profiling by comparing the distribution of drivers on the roadways with officers' proactive surveillance and stop behavior in a predominantly white suburban community bordering a predominantly African American community. African Americans are subject to significant racial profiling, as reflected in disproportionate surveillance and stopping by the police when driving through whiter areas. Officers' beh…
The Organizational Career of Gang Statistics
This article examines the way in which the construction of a “gang” problem and the resulting “gang statistics” in a particular community, referred to as Bigcity, are related to the local political context and the police accommodation of political interests. In particular, the political accountability of the police impacts on police recordkeeping practices and the statistics regarding “gangs” that those records generate. The organizational career…
Troubles in Interracial Talk About Discipline
The preference of African American parents for physical discipline is noted frequently in the literature, and it is suggested that this preference is responsible for the over representation of black children in foster care. Our research has found that African American parents in a social service intervention program clearly express this preference to their social workers, thereby further jeopardizing their chances of being judged fit parents. Stu…

Internal Police Records and the Control of Juveniles
This paper examines the consequences of external (i.e., community) and internal (i.e., administrative) pressure on the police to discourage the arrest and formal processing of a community's Juveniles. The department's response resulted in a shift to surveillance and the development of internal recordkeeping as the primary form of control. Thus, the police were able to satisfy the community's demand and their own organizational needs for informati…

Record-Keeping Practices in the Policing of Juveniles
This article describes the record-keeping practices of two suburban police departments. It is argued that the projected organizational career and anticipated use of a record shapes its form and content in significant ways. Police officers orient, as record keepers, to the prospective uses and careers of the documents they produce. Record work also includes understanding the role of the officer's personal records and the interactional "running rec…
