Social Problems and Social Control in Criminal Justice
A conceptual validation of transformative learning theory
Objectives The aim of this study is to evaluate the integrated transformative learning theory and quantitative measurement model developed by Stuckey and colleagues in 2013. Methods The Transformative Leaning Survey (TLS) was administered as a cross‐sectional web survey to 467 respondents recruited from a variety of sources. The questionnaire includes four transformative learning outcome measures (acting differently, deeper self‐awareness, holdin…
Patient-reported outcomes in the practice-based opportunities for weight reduction (Power) trial
A behavioural intervention incorporating specific glycaemic index goals improves dietary quality, weight control and glycaemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes
Objective A lower glycaemic index (GI) diet is associated with a reduction in glycosylated Hb (HbA 1c ) in people with diabetes. Yet, little research has been conducted to determine the effects of specific goals regarding consumption of low GI (LGI) foods on diabetes outcomes. The present study evaluated a behavioural intervention on dietary intake, weight status and HbA 1c , which included a goal to consume either six or eight servings of LGI fo…
Reclaiming Discretion
In an attempt to involve drug-related defendants in treatment, California's Proposition 36 constrains judges' discretion to restrict access to treatment and to revoke treatment. Despite its formal rule scheme, judges nevertheless develop and implement strategies to coerce and persuade defendants into treatment compliance. Proposition 36 is an unexplored setting for examining the externally and interactionally imposed limits on judicial discretion…

Quality of life and diabetes
Quality of life is an important health outcome in its own right, representing the ultimate goal of all health interventions. This paper reviews the published, English-language literature on self-perceived quality of life among adults with diabetes. Quality of life is measured as physical and social functioning, and perceived physical and mental well-being. People with diabetes have a worse quality of life than people with no chronic illness, but …
Religiosity and Altruism Among African American Males
America has come to develop two contrasting perceptions of African American male religiosity in the post-civil rights period. The press for racial inclusion throughout the Kennedy/Johnson era has forged the association of African American male religious involvement with political engagement (Arp & Boeckelman, 1997; Peterson, 1992). The urban image emerging in the post-Reagan climate endows him with a nonreligious quality, in that it depicts an in…

Heroin in the Age of Crack Cocaine
A Biopsychosocial Model of Glycemic Control in Diabetes
This study examines stress, coping, and regimen adherence as determinants of chronic and transient metabolic control in diabetes. We also examine the interaction of biologic vulnerability and psychosocial risk factors to see if Type 1 (insulin dependent diabetes mellitus) or Type 2 (noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus) diabetes had greater responsiveness to psychosocial risk factors. Analyses of data from insulin-treated adults with Type 1 (N …
Analysis of Teacher Responses to the Conners Abbreviated Symptoms Questionnaire (ASQ)

Welfare Plastic
Several states have developed electronic benefit transfer (EBT) systems to deliver cash assistance and food stamp benefits. These systems establish electronic account balances which recipients access through the use of a debit card at terminals such as bank automatic teller machines or transaction authorization machines like those that validate credit card charges. We examine the potential effects of such systems on involved stakeholders, includi…
The Etiology and Treatment of Substance Abuse
The abuse of alcohol and other drugs (AOD) has become one of the most important social problems in modern society. AOD abuse causes untold personal anguish to the abusers and their families, is associated with high levels of crime, and the health consequences include death and disability. Billions are spent on treatment, prevention, and incarceration. The papers in this special issue focus on two key issues in the study of AOD abuse: etiology and…
Images of Issues
Constructionist theory describes and analyzes social problems as emerging through the efforts of claimsmakers who bring issues to public attention. By typifying a problem and characterizing it as a particular sort, claimsmakers can shape policymaking and public response to the problem. Th is new edition of Images of Issues addresses claimsmaking in the 1990s, featuring such issues as fathers' rights, stalking, sexual abuse by the clergy, hate cri…

Psychological Testing and Forensic Decision Making
This paper reports an ethnographic study of the use of psychological testing in decision making by a forensic psychiatry organization that makes recommendations to the courts regarding criminal justice, child custody, and workmen's compensation cases. Psychological testing using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) supports the decision-making process. Through a variety of interpretive practices, the staff deals with contradicti…

Introduction
Institutional and Organizational Dynamics in Community-Based Drug Abuse Treatment
Organizations located in complex institutional environments must deal with conflicting demands from their constituencies. One organizational response, a variant of the symbolic adaptation originally described by Meyer and Rowan, is a chameleon strategy. Presentations of services are varied from situation to situation to meet the demands of different audiences, while primary work activity remains constant. With the decoupling of presentations from…
Marital Adjustment to Adult Diabetes
This study investigates adjustment to insulintreated diabetes among 20 adult patients and their spouses; sex is balanced for patients and spouses. Using a multimethod (qualitative and quantitative) research design, the authors examine several psychosocial factors, including attitudes and knowledge about diabetes, illness self-disclosure, health locus of control of patients and spouses, and marital satisfaction of spouses. Illness-related percepti…

Psychosocial factors in diabetes control
Twenty insulin-treated diabetic adults were studied to identify psychosocial factors important in diabetic (blood glucose) control. Diabetic control was assessed by glycosylated hemoglobin, a measure of long-term glucose control. Subjects were equally divided between "good" and "poor" glucose control groups with sex balanced in each group. A multifactorial biopsychosocial model was proposed and tested. This model incorporated both direct (psychop…

Caseload Management
Discretion in decision-making is a well-known but poorly understood phenomenon. This paper examines the contextual features influencing the exercise of discretion in screening and assigning clients in a community mental health agency. I develop a caseload management model to analyze the interplay between organizational circumstances, determinations of client suitability, and decision-making outcomes. This study finds: (1) Decisions are based on j…

Introduction
Coerced Voluntarism
The concept of coerced voluntarism is developed to analyze the micropolitical dynamics of drug abuse treatment at a community agency offering outpatient counseling services. Clients are coerced by criminal justice agents into "volunteering" for treatment and are generally unwilling to make serious commitments to therapeutic objectives. Unable to establish either voluntary or involuntary treatment models, clients and treatment personnel must negot…

Cycles of Social Problem Development
The genesis and course of a social problem results from the interplay of political and historical forces. This paper formulates a cyclical model of social problem development in which the history of drug abuse as a social problem is a function of the political processes which shape its course. The developmental cycle comprises five stages, with the fifth stage initiating a new cycle through the stages. Political struggles at each stage over the c…

Physical Contact in the Family
The main purposes of this exploratory study were to encourage greater interest in studying family physical contact and in using photographic analyses. New measures of attraction and a new photographic technique for recording and quantifying physical contact were developed. Forty-eight middle-SES families, each with two parents and two children, participated in the study. There were 12 families of each type of sibling composition: two sons; two da…
