  • Paradigms, Policies, and People

    Open AccessDrew Hyman, Jeffrey C Bridger et al.ARTICLEReview of Policy Research2001

    This article takes a step toward unifying normative and empirical policy analysis by examining the convergence of societal metatheories, public policy models, and empirical data on consumers. It begins with the premise that policies rest on a foundation of normative beliefs or metatheories that, in turn, put boundaries around the possible and give social meaning to the policies and programs that flow from them. The interaction of social metatheor…

  • Values, Policy-Making, and Implementation

    Open AccessDrew Hyman, Mike Wadsworth et al.ARTICLEAdministration & Society1991References: 8

    This article used a "realist" paradigm to explore policy-making and implementation and examines the effects of policy culture on the implementation of public policy. The processing of energy termination mediation cases by a state utility regulatory commission was used to examine differential implementation of law by a profit-seeking industry and a regulatory body. The validity of the assertion that health and welfare issues should be divorced fro…

  • Prosuming, Participation, Consumer Education and the Deregulation of Telecommunications

    Open AccessDrew HymanARTICLEJournal of Voluntary Action…1986

    This article examines the extent to which consumers in the U.S. are prepared to make informed decisions in a decentralized society. The events surrounding the breakup of the Bell System and AT& T required a number of decisions by individual consumers and provided a unique opportunity to observe decision-making in a recently decentralized environment. Consumer education and decision-making in four specific areas are examined followed by analysis o…

  • On the Dialectics of Social Theory and Action

    Drew HymanARTICLEThe Journal of Sociology & Social…1986

    Two dominant theoretical perspectives--systems theory and conflict theory--can be seen to underlie major approaches to community intervention. This paper presents a conceptual linkage between models of intervention for planning and organizing as developed by Rothman and elaborated by Stockdale and major sociological theories of society. Two additional models are presented to address issues of management and administration. The six models are inte…

  • Rhetoric and Reality in the Reform of Juvenile Justice Policy

    Open AccessBruce Bullington, Daniel Katkin et al.ARTICLEReview of Policy Research1982References: 1

    In the 1960s and 1970s dissatisfaction with the administration of juvenile justice led to a reform movement which advocated “diversion, deinstitutionalization,” and the decriminalization of status offenses as strategies to reduce the harmfulness of official contacts. This paper argues not only that these reforms have not been successfully implemented, but also that the traditional system has been maintained and extended. Explanations for the fail…

  • The Administration of Poverty

    R Richard Ritti, Drew Hyman et al.ARTICLESocial Problems1977Cited by: 5References: 12

    The public assistance caseload literally exploded during the late 1960s, a period of unprecedented economic prosperity and record low unemployment. We examine the reasons for this anomaly within the framework of the political economy of public organizations, with the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare as an example. We consider and reject various popular explanations for the growth in the caseload, as we do public statements of the Departm…
