Marienthal: The Sociography of an Unemployed Community
"One of the main theses of the Marienthal study was that prolonged unemployment leads to a state of apathy in which the victims do not utilize any longer even the few opportunities left to them. The vicious cycle between reduced opportunities and reduced level of aspiration has remained the focus of all subsequent discussions." So begin the opening remarks to the English-language edition of what has become a major classic in the literature of soc…

Affirmative Peremptory Juror Selection
Tracey Altman, like so many of us, is distressed over the tendency of prosecutors systematically to remove distinguishable minorities from our juries. Until its recent overturn, the Supreme Court decision in Swain v. Alabama 1 fostered and secured this tendency. In her thoughtful note,2 Altman suggests a way to arrest this trend: namely, that we replace our system of negative peremptory challenges with one in which the litigants affirmatively sel…

Disagreement over the Evaluation of a Controlled Experiment
Under the leadership of the U.S. Department of Labor, the states of Texas and Georgia engaged in what was perhaps the most careful large-scale randomized controlled experiment ever conducted in a natural setting. It was designed to test the widely supported theory that the recidivism rate of ex-convicts could be reduced or retarded by providing them for a time with a monthly monetary allowance. During the evaluation of the experiment, a radical d…

Methodological Problems in Studies of Sentencing
The law, especially Anglo-American law, gives as a rule wide latitude to the determination of the sentence that follows the conviction of a defendant. The law may set the minimum or maximum sentence for the particular crime, it may set the range, or it may allow different types of sentences (fine, prison, etc.); at the very least, it provides a choice between two alternatives, for instance, after conviction of a capital crime, it now allows in mo…
Methodological Problems and Techniques in Sociolegal Research
The controlled experiment is undoubtedly the ideal instrument for testing the effectiveness of a new rule of law or legal procedure: have one random half of the cases operate under the new rule, the other half under the old rule, and see what difference there is in the outcome

The Jury and the Court Delay
To save court time, and thereby reduce court congestion, it has been suggested that the civil jury be abol ished. But the actual amount of time that could be saved is too small to warrant by itself such a move. So basic an herit age of our judicial system should be abolished only if we con sidered this to be an advisable step also in a nondelayed court system. Nor do the various proposals aimed at encouraging voluntary waiver of juries hold much …
