Lawyers in Corporate Chief Executive Positions: A Historical Analysis of Careers
The backgrounds and careers of lawyer-corporate chief executive officers in each of three historical populations of corporate chief executive officers are examined. Contrary to Newcomer (1955), the proportion of lawyer-chief executives now appears to be increasing. Data also indicate that the backgrounds of lawyer-chief executives frequently include attendance at prestigious undergraduate educational institutions and law schools, and initial posi…
Deprofessionalization: The Case of Law in America
It is becoming increasingly evident that the conditions that fostered the growth and dominance of the professions during the early part of this century are being eroded by social change. Social, economic, and political trends are undermining claims to autonomy and monopoly by previously well-entrenched groups such as the legal profession in America. These trends include changes in the knowledge base, shifts in the composition of the profession, e…

Police departments in resort communities: Organizational adjustments to population undulation
The presence of recreational populations in a community imposes special burdens upon municipal service organizations such as the police. Departments must develop techniques for dealing with the problems associated with the presence of large numbers of transients. In this study, police departments in beach resorts are compared with police in similar nonresort communities in order to assess differences in operations and structure between the two ty…
Occupational Roles: Power and Negotiation in the Division of Labor
The sociology of occupations and professions manifests a clear tendency toward the use of theoretical perspectives which emphasize considerations of power, social control and negotiation. This is most clearly articulated in several substantive areas within the field, notably occupational expansionism, intra-occupational relations, and the environmental context of occupations. A survey of research in these areas suggests some tentative generalizat…
Residents and Transients: Community Reaction to Seasonal Visitors
The residents of seasonal resorts must annually accommodate to the influx of large numbers of vacationers. This study conducted in two beach communities reveals that vacationers impact many aspects of people's lives, causing them to cur tail certain activities and causing deterioration of some parts of their communities. However, residents are also economically dependent upon visitors and benefit from the services and facilities which cater to to…

Vulnerability to Knowledge Obsolescence Among Professionals
A CENTRAL element of modem professions is that they are organized around specialized bodies of knowledge over which they claim exclusive jurisdiction and control (Barber, 1963). Such specialized expertise is basic to the performance of the professional role, and the application of this specialized knowledge to client problems is the essence of professionalism for occupations such as medicine, dentistry, nursing, law, or engineering (Hughes, 1963;…
