What happened when an apprentice or young ‘living-in’ household worker fell ill, c. 1690–1820
Apprenticeship was important from the late sixteenth century for training and maintaining the English workforce. Masters and mistresses were committed by the apprenticeship indenture to provide food, clothing, shelter and training. Reference was rarely made, however, to what happened should the apprentice fall ill. Much the same was true of contracts between an employer and the young person who was hired to live and work in their household. Both …

Immunization status and sociodemographic characteristics
OBJECTIVES: This study examined how immunization-related beliefs, attitudes, and perceived control mediate up-to-date immunization among various sociodemographic groups. METHODS: Statewide estimates of immunization rates among children up to the age of 2 years were obtained via a multistage cluster sample. In-person interviews were conducted with 4832 parents. Information about immunization was obtained from official records or from health care p…

New Voters, Switchers, and Political Party Realignment in Texas
ECAUSE political parties play such an important stabilizing and directing role in American politics, scholars and practitioners pay close attention to the relative strengths of our two major parties. They look especially for signs which might indicate any change in party balance which could signal changes in America’s public policy agenda. Party realignments are complex phenomena. Ladd (1986) argues that the term realignment has three different m…

An Introduction to Political Science Methods
Bureaucratic Response to Citizen Contacts
The present study examines bureaucratic response to all citizen-initiated requests for service from the Dallas city government for January-December 1975. Utilizing this expanded data base, the authors test hypotheses derived from the three basic models proposed to explain bureaucratic response to citizen requests for service: the political model, the underclass model, and the bureaucratic decision-rule model. The study finds little support for ei…
Citizen Contacts with Local Governments
The relationship between area social well-being and the extent of citizen-initiated contacts with local governments is examined for Dallas and Houston. The findings of this study, negative linear relationships between social well-being and contacting, are compared and contrasted with those of Jones and associates (1977) who, studying Detroit, found a parabolic relationship between social well-being and contacting behavior. The needs/awareness mod…
Do Lawyers Vote Differently? A Study of Voting on No-Fault Insurance
Betting After the Race is Over
Using a recent article by Sidney Ulmer as an example, this note offers two bits of advice to statistical researchers. One must take care to specify his hypotheses on an a priori basis. One must be cautious when the number of observations approaches the number of independent variables. In the popular movie The Sting, a variation on an old con game is depicted. The con men fleece the pigeon by inducing him to bet on a horse race which, unbeknownst …
