    Open AccessLaurie K Scheuble, David Read JohnsonARTICLENames2016Cited by: 4References: 3

Among women who changed their last name to that of their husband, 18 % kept their former last name as a middle name.

  • What should we call our kids? Choosing children’s surnames when parents’ last names differ

    Open AccessDavid Read Johnson, Laurie K ScheubleARTICLEThe Social Science Journal2002Cited by: 16References: 8

    We examine the last and middle names given to first-born sons and daughters in a sample of 600 married women selected from the staff directory of a university system. Women with unconventional marital surnames were more likely to include their birth surname in their child’s name than were women who took their husband’s last name at marriage. Around 90% of women with an unconventional marital surname still gave their children their husband’s surna…

  • Gender Bias in the Disposition of Juvenile Court Referrals: The Effects of Time and Location

    Open AccessDavid Read Johnson, Laurie K ScheubleARTICLECriminology1991Cited by: 12References: 21

    Theory based on sex role traditionalism predicts a more punishing decision for female than for male offenders, while theory based on chivalry (paternalism) predicts greater leniency by the courts for female offenders. This paper tests these two models using a large sample (36,680) of juvenile court referrals in metropolitan, urban, and rural locations spanning a nine‐year period. Nonparametric analysis of covariance is used to control for differe…
