Disability in a Global Context
Disability is a condition that directly involves over 15% of the global population with reverberations throughout every nation and level of society. The World Bank, World Health Organization, and Gates Foundation emphasize that this population has serious social and economic effects on the stability and development of nations and well‐being of individuals touched by disability. This essay places disability in a global context and details the foun…
Family Consequences of Children's Disabilities
Living on the margin
This paper explores the antecedents, experiences and consequences of marginalization as reported and dealt with by disabled Iranian immigrants in Belgium. This work extends the work of Gallie and colleagues and Siegrist demonstrating that the forces of marginalization applicable to all immigrants are particularly pertinent to disabled immigrants. The research is based on 26 in-depth, face-to-face interviews, focus groups, interviews with governme…

L'émergence des disability studies
Les disability studies constituent un champ original en pleine émergence, qui a des racines interdisciplinaires et théoriques fortes, mais qui est également modelé par l'activité sociale et politique. Ce domaine foisonnant suscite actuellement des débats internationaux d'un grand intérêt et des controverses qui se sont encore peu diffusées en France. Cet article montre l'attention croissante que la recherche porte au handicap et la vitalité des d…
Rationing health care to disabled people
Combining a political economic perspective with a case study approach, this paper examines the intent, process, and consequences of rationed care for disabled people under the U.S. managed care system. Two disabled persons were followed over a three-year period as they sought care for major episodes relating to chronic depression and post-polio syndrome. The findings illustrate a marked disparity between the concept and goals of rationed care and…
The Global Emergence of Disability
Your Experience Is Not My Experience
Central to the field of disability studies is the concept of disability culture, because it provides a sense of cohesion for persons with disabilities and helps to explain their identity, place in the world, and management strategies. Discussions of disability culture generally focus on shared experiences, values, and relationships to the environment. An implicit assumption in many analyses is that disability cul. ture is common to all people wit…

Disability Humor
Disability humor raises a hidden paradox that makes people feel uncomfortable. What is so funny about having a disability when others think that it is a tragedy? This article analyzes the social creation, context, purposes and consequences of disability humor. Disability humor is seen to be anchored simultaneously in tragedy and comedy so that both literary vehicles give meaning to the disability experience

Hellfire and Delinquency Revisited
While Hirschi and Stark conclude that religiosity is unrelated to delinquency, their findings and a replication of their study in the Pacific Northwest (Burkett and White) may not be generalizable to other areas of the country. Using self-report data from 1,383 Atlanta tenth graders in 1970, we found a moderate negative relationship between church attendance and delinquent behavior. Our data also suggest a causal structure in which respect for th…

Determinants of Self-Perceived Risk for Aids
This paper examines self-perceptions of risk for AIDS and factors that contribute to estimations of risk. On the basis of a telephone survey of 1,540 adults age 18 to 60, we address the question: What heuristic factors predict perception of risk for AIDS? Results show that five heuristic categories determine self-perceptions of risk: sexual practices, moral evaluations of people with AIDS, emotional response to AIDS, protective actions in respons…
A cross national study of patterns of sexual behaviour
The global AIDS epidemic and the fact that HIV is sexually transmitted have highlighted the need for more information on patterns of human sexuality, especially with regard to high‐risk practice and behaviours. Consequently, the World Health Organization's Global Programme on AIDS (in collaboration with Member States) has developed research materials that can be used to define dominant patterns of sexual behavior, in different social and cultural…

Black-White Adolescent Drinking
Many characterize adolescent drinking in the United States as a social problem. Inferences from research on adult drinking, emphasis on the disorganization of the black family, and public stereotypes suggest that black teenagers would be more heavily involved than white teenagers in drinking behavior. Yet little research has compared black-white teenage drinking. Analysis of 1970 data from a study of adolescent behavior in Atlanta (N = 1383) show…
The Management of Normality
Rehabilitation Success
Human service organizations assert that individuals succeed or fail in the change process. What are the criteria of this success? When multiple criteria of success are employed, does success on one criterion imply success on another? These questions are examined with over time data on 122 patients from two physical rehabilitation centers using a partial correlation approach to change scores. Findings reveal that evaluation of rehabilitation succe…

Defusing Technological Change in Juvenile Courts
Based on five years of participant observation in a juvenile court, this study focuses on the ways in which professional groups attempted to gain control of a computerized information system so that they could preserve their professional autonomy, maintain control over their work, and give the appearance of a job well done. When legal professionals attempted to use the computerized information system to control the work of the probation staff, pr…
