Qualitative researchers tout the distinctive character of their work as thickly descriptive of the subject matter. They evaluate published results in the same terms, giving high marks to the richness of the best research. This article unpacks this universal standard and discusses the influence of preinvestigative empirical purview, analytic aims, and available data in addressing the question of why there is a need for thin as well as thick descri…

Wayward Icelanders: Punishment, Boundary Maintenance, and the Creation of Crime
Is Iceland, universally perceived as a peaceful, idyllic nation, being threatened by an inevitable flood of crime as it enters the global community? In recent decades the Icelandic state has taken serious steps to curb mounting crime, establishing a specialized drug court and an undercover drug police agency. Public opinion polls clearly demonstrate Icelanders growing concern that crime and drug use are on the rise. In their provocative new book,…

Doing Justice to Elizabeth Briant Lee: The Co-founder of the SSSP
Nearly a decade ago, we began a biography of Elizabeth Briant Lee, "Betty, " and Alfred McClung Lee, "Al. " Most of the existing documents collected for our biography of the Lees dealt with Al. This is consistent with the findings of feminist historians who have repeatedly noted that women, like the poor, have been typically ignored (Dye 1979). Speaking of this paucity of information about Betty Lee and other professional women of her generation,…

Making a Difference: The Practice of Sociology
Emphasis on measurement techniques can interfere with understanding how well particular social programs in their field work. In Making a Difference: The Practice of Socioloy, Irwin Deutscher links traditional sociological concerns with applied sociology in an effort to overcome this problem. He contributes to the debate over the extent to which health, educational, and social programs initiated by the Roosevelt, Kennedy, and Johnson administratio…
Comment on Weinberg's “Lindesmith on Addiction”
John F. Galliher repond aux critiques adressees par Darin Weinberg a l'encontre de la theorie de la toxicomanie d'Alfred Lindesmith. Il souligne, contre l'affirmation de Weinberg, que Lindesmith s'est toujours efforce de souligner la dimension culturelle, humaine de la toxicomanie. Il rappelle que selon Lindesmith la prohibition de la drogue induit un cout social, economique, psychologique tres lourd pour les toxicomanes. Ceci conduit Lindesmith …

Social Scientists' Ethical Responsibilities to Superordinates: Looking Upward Meekly
Social scientists have recently been exhorted to superordinate people and groups. The anthropologist Laura Nader (1969:289-301) observes that scientific adequacy, or complete description, requires that social scientists study as well as down. She argues that social scientists already know a good deal about the poor, so that the time has come to study in the stratification system. Nader continues by arguing that democratic relevance also requires …

The Puzzle of the Social Origins of the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937
Several recent studies of the origins of the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, while analyzing the same data sources, have surprisingly come to differing conclusions. Contrary to the results of most of these studies, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that there was a major effort by the Federal Bureau of Narcotics to generate a public marihuana crisis to create pressure for this legislation. Indeed a review of newspapers as well as the Congress…

Dissonance and Contradictions in the Origins of Marihuana Decriminalization
The movement for removal of criminal penalties for possession of marihuana in the United States provides an important case study of the causes and process of decriminalization. Between 1973 and 1978, 11 states reduced criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of the drug, but the reform movement was fragile, brief, and limited to a few states. This case study suggests that reform was driven in part by "moral dissonance" resulting from th…
Utah's Liberal Drug Laws: Structural Foundations and Triggering Events
Utah was one of the first states to reduce the penalty for first-offense possession of marihuana, as well as other drugs, to a misdemeanor. Such innovative legislation in Utah was not expected given the Mormon domination of the state legislature and Mormons' strict prohibition of drug use. To shed light on this development, interviews were conducted with a number of Mormon and non-Mormon citizens of Utah, including a variety of state officials. O…

Nebraska's Marijuana Law: A Case of Unexpected Legislative Innovation
The social processes involved in the development of criminal laws have been studied by several scholars (Jeffery, 1957; Hall, 1952; Chambliss, 1964; Lindesmith, 1965; Sutherland, 1950; Becker, 1963). Generally, two major perspectives have guided these studies. One orientation has been the functionalist perspective (Pound, 1922, 1942; Durkheim, 1964) which stresses the emergence of moral consensus and the functional interdependence of the law with…

Prohibition of Beer in Iceland: An International Test of Symbolic Politics
Beer has been prohibited in Iceland since 1915, but wine has been legally imported since 1922, as have all other alcoholic beverages since 1934. Since 1932, ten unsuccessful attempts have been made to repeal the beer prohibition. Using the records of parliamentary debates, newspaper reports, opinion poll results, and interviews, we examine the degree of fit between this legislation and Gusfield's model of linkage between status politics and symbo…

Riding the Underground Dragon
The most successful subway system in the world is to be found in Hong Kong, Britain's crown colony on the South China coast. Finished ahead of schedule and within budget, the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) is clean, safe, and virtually crime-free. This study, based on five months of fieldwork, describes the development of the MTR and how it has kept crime to a minimum. The system's low crime rate is attributed to three factors: (1) the nature of Hong…

Edwin Sutherland's Research on the Origins of Sexual Psychopath Laws: An Early Case Study of the Medicalization of Deviance
Sutherland claimed that sexual psychopath laws were largely a result of the manipulation of public opinion by the press and the influence of psychiatrists on the legislative process. However, there are obvious gaps in his documentation of these laws and in his evidence on news stories about sex crimes. We analyze major newspapers in each state that passed a sexual psychopath law and find far greater diversity in the coverage of sex crimes than Su…
Symbolic Severity in the Land of Easy Virtue: Nevada's High Marihuana Penalty
Nevada is the only state where first-offense possession of the slightest amount of marihuana is a felony, punishable by up to six years imprisonment; ironically the state permits casino gambling and prostitution. News reports, government records, and interviews with public officials show that in Nevada marihuana and other drug use is continually, but incorrectly, blamed on tourists, and high penalties are thought necessary to control these outsid…
Sports Competition and International Capitalism
The extreme competitiveness in American sports limits the possibility of mass citizen participation. Highly competitive sports are not enjoyable for most participants, except the very best, and sports facilities are often only available to these same select few. In any event, sports participation is often seen as impossible by most citizens since they do not measure up to the image of sports superstars found in the mass media. Also, rampant compe…
