The Relationship Between Custodial Status and Emotional Well-Being Among Recently Divorced Fathers
One purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between emotional well-being and parental status among recently divorced fathers. The emotional well-being of the recently divorced fathers was determined by measures of their self-esteem, depression, and divorce adjustment. Data were collected from 97 fathers in a Midwestern state who had been divorced less than seven (7) months. The recently divorced fathers completed the Rosenberg S…
The Socioeconomic Status of Women and Patterns of Forcible Rape for Major U.S. Cities
Despite the popularity of feminist argumenta identifying the disadvantaged socioeconomic status of women as a root cause of the female rape problem, these hypotheses have received very little empirical attention, and existing studies exhibit a variety of theoretical and methodological shortcomings. This investigation avoids many of these difficulties and examines the relationship between female rape rates and multiple dimensions of women's absolu…
Deterrence, Brutalization, and the Death Penalty
A replication and extension of a weekly ARZMA analysis (1989–1991) by Cochran et al. (1994), which appeared in Criminology, confirms that Oklahoma's return to capital punishment in 1990, after a 25‐year moratorium, was followed by a significant increase in killings involving strangers. Moreover, a multivariate autoregressive analysis, which includes measures of the frequency of executions, the level of print media attention devoted to executions,…
Murder, Capital Punishment, and Deterrence
This paper reviews and assesses the empirical literature on murder, capital punishment, and deterrence. There is a large body of evidence regarding these issues, with studies yielding a rather consistent pattern of nondeterrence. However, most investigations are limited because they rely upon the general homicide rate as the criterion variable, although both legally and theoretically, different types of murder may be differentially subject to det…
Assessing Adherence to Asthma Medication and Inhaler Regimens
Poor adherence to recommended regimens is a substantial problem in the clinical management of adults with asthma and other chronic diseases. Research on adherence assessment is complicated by methodological difficulties including limitations associated with the use of self-report measures. In this study, psychometric techniques were used to analyze two self-report scales for assessing adherence to recommended medication and inhaler use regimens i…
Felony Murder and Capital Punishment
A proper test of the deterrent effect of the death penalty must consider capital homicides. However, the criterion variable in most investigations has been total homicides—most of which bear no legal or theoretical relationship to capital punishment. To address this fundamental data problem, this investigation used Federal Bureau of Investigation data for 1976–1987 to examine the relationship between capital punishment and felony murder, the most…
Evaluation of the efficacy and cost effectiveness of health education methods to increase medication adherence among adults with asthma
We randomized 135 adult asthma patients to a control group, and 132 patients to an experimental group which received a special health education intervention. Four adherence measures were documented at baseline and 12-month follow-up: correct inhaler use, inhaler adherence, medication adherence, and total adherence rating. Costs to routinely deliver the intervention were $32.03/patient. Experimental group patients exhibited a significantly higher …
Murder, Capital Punishment, and Television
The deterrent effect of criminal law is dependent upon communication to the public of the threat and application of sanctions. I test this argument for murder and capital punishment by examining monthly homicide rates and television publicity devoted to executions from 1976 through 1987. Despite the power of television as a source of news in the United States, the results of this study do not support either the deterrence argument, which contends…
Subjective symptomatology of asthma in an outpatient population
Characteristics of subjective symptomatology of asthma were examined within a group of 132 adult asthma patients receiving medical care in a university-based, ambulatory clinic setting. Patients responded to 36 symptom descriptions or adjectives associated with asthma which were included in a modified version of the Asthma Symptoms Checklist (ASC). A principal components exploratory factor analysis was conducted and five factors were identified. …
Murder and Capital Punishment
In a recent analysis of the effect of execution publicity on homicides, Stack (1987) challenged the consensus of most social scientists that capital punishment does not effectively deter murder. He found that publicized executions have a very significant deterrent effect. Stack reports that 16 highly publicized executions may have saved as many as 480 innocent lives during 1950-1980. The present investigation attempts to shed additional light on …
Murder and Capital Punishment in the Evolving Context of the Post-Furman Era
In view of (1) escalating national attention, and political and judicial activity centering on capital punishment during the past decade and a half, and (2) concomitant changes in homicides, this paper investigates the impact of the death penalty on state homicide rates for the post-Furman period, 1973–84:. The research also addresses the debate over the relative merits of the contiguous state matching strategy versus multiple regression as a mea…
Relation of sex and gender role to love, sexual attitudes, and self-esteem
Police Killings and Capital Punishment
In view of (1) escalating national attention and political and judicial activity centering on capital punishment during recent years and (2) concomitant changes in police killing rates, this paper investigates the impact of the death penalty on rates of lethal assaults against the police for the post‐ Furman period, 1973–1984. In keeping with recent investigations of deterrence and general homicides, multiple regression is used as a means of cont…
Poverty, Inequality, and City Homicide Rates
Messner's recent investigation of homicide and relative and absolute economic deprivation is replicated here, but cities rather than SMSA's and three years (1950, 1960, 1970) rather than one (1970) are considered. Because of tremendous intra‐unit variation for SMSAs with respect to homicides and sociodemographic characteristics (an important variation that is masked when data are aggregated on a SMSA level), cities are a preferable unit of analys…
Deterring the Drinking Driver
Capital Punishment and Lethal Assaults Against Police
This investigation provides a multivariate analysis of the deferrent effect of the death penalty on the rate of lethal assaults against the police. Examining statelevel data for the period 1961 to 1971, we hypothesize a significant inverse relationship between the rate of police killings and (1) the statutory provision for capital punishment and (2) the execution rate of convicted murderers. Contrary to the deferrence hypotheses, no support is fo…
Inequality in the Legal Order
I challenge David Jacobs' support for the conflict model of the legal order, finding serious limitations in his cross-sectional test of the model. To avoid these limitations and to extend the scope of Jacobs' study, I (1) apply his model to four additional crimes against persons and property; (2 ) examine race as an additional dimension of social inequality; and (3) consider how levels of crime might influence imprisonment ratios, a factor Jacobs…
Deterrent Effect of the Death Penalty
Prompted by a number of important recent Supreme Court decisions, the last few years have witnessed a renewed research interest in the deterrent effect of the death penalty for murder. There has been an attempt by sociologists and economists, to overcome the shortcomings of the classic investigations in this area [1–6]. Recent studies, however, are not without some important limitations [7–10]. The possible implications of one of these limitation…
Deterrence and the Celerity of the Death Penalty
This paper examines the deterrent effect of the celerity of the death penalty on homicide rates. Although in recent years there have been a number of investigations of the certainty of execution and deterrence, the effect of celerity of execution has not been examined empirically. As a result, we can only speculate about the merit of the deterrence hypothesis for the celerity of executions, and how previous deterrence and death penalty investigat…

Some Further Evidence on Homicide and a Regional Culture of Violence
Gastil's theory and investigation of homicide and the Southern tradition of violence are briefly examined [1]. Although his attempt to construct a quantitative index of Southerness and relate it to states' homicide rates provides a decided improvement over the usual practice of simply comparing “Southern” and “Northern” states, his analysis suffers from the use of homicide figures issued by the U.S. Public Health Service as an index of his depend…
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis from pet hamster exposure
Eleven cases of hamster associated lymphocytic choriomeningitis occurred within a space of four months in Jefferson County, Alabama residents. A single Birmingham breeder was the source of the infected hamsters. Ten cases experienced an illness of one to three weeks duration with grippe-like symptoms being most frequent. Complaints of nine cases suggested meningeal involvement, and one was asymptomatic. All patients recovered uneventfully. Freque…
Deterrence data reanalyzed
Murder and capital punishment
The literature relating homicide and capital punishment is reviewed briefly. Despite the "presumed conclusiveness" of the evidence against the death penalty, most studies are shown to suffer from a number of theoretical and methodological shortcomings. To provide a more theoretically sound and comprehensive examination of the question, this paper analyzes alternative data for first and second degree murder and homicide in death penalty and abolit…
