Driving While Black and Brown in Vermont
Many states now require law enforcement to collect race data on traffic stops, but there has been little research on the use of that data to inform public policy or reform efforts at the agency level. This article addresses that lacuna by presenting results from the first statewide analysis of Vermont traffic stop data. Racial threat theory, a subset of stratification theory, would predict that policing in a predominantly white state like Vermont…
Teaching Urban Economics to Planners and the Role of Urban Planning to Economists
This article attempts to demonstrate that the work of urban planners and economists is built on a common language, and hence should share ideas. Their agendas broadly overlap, but many in either profession do not realize this. Understanding the microeconomic foundations of the array of problems facing urban planners is a key step to gaining insights that can lead to innovative and effective planning policy. This article aims at helping urban econ…

Although accurate demographic information is lacking, estimates indicate that approximately one in ten Americans has a disability or chronic disease and would be affected by the changes brou…
The Social Consequences of Disability
Housing for the Handicapped
Meeting the housing needs of the handicapped has become part of the movement toward normalization. This paper reports an investigation of two large and relatively long-standing European housing facilities for the adult severely disabled. These two cases are considered as possible approaches within a wide range of solutions to housing needs of the physically disabled. Recent U.S. legislation concerning the development of accessible housing is also…
Receiving Help
The social act of helping is presented from the recipient's viewpoint. Interview material from handicapped adults and contributions from the literature on helping provide insight to the helped person's management and interpretation of being helped. Techniques employed in the management of help are described. Alternative strategies and interpretations are available to the helped person; receiving help is not necessarily demeaning as social norms s…
