Risk of Alcohol-Impaired Driving Recidivism Among First Offenders and Multiple Offenders
Objectives. We sought to determine the statewide impact of having prior alcohol-impaired driving violations of any type on the rate of first occurrence or recidivism among drivers with 0, 1, 2, or 3 or more prior violations in Maryland. Methods. We analyzed more than 100 million driver records from 1973 to 2004 and classified all Maryland drivers into 4 groups: those with 0, 1, 2, or 3 or more prior violations. The violation rates for approximate…

This article first provides an overview of a sequential approach to conducting research. This model and similar sequential approaches have sometimes been referred to as the phases of research model. Next, the article offers a summary of what has been learned from this research and offers some thoughts on what is needed in future prevention research efforts, particularly in alcohol, tobacco, and other drug abuse prevention. The research agendas of…

Hospital Variations in Metastatic Breast Cancer
Data from the tumor abstracts of 25,535 female breast cancer patients in California were analyzed to measure hospital differences in the rates of metastatic disease at diagnosis. For white patients the metastatic rates varied from 38 to 68 per cent as hospital affiliation varied, and for blacks they ranged from 48 to 76 per cent. Tests for normality showed that the distribution of rates for white patients in private facilities was not merely due …

Civil Justice and the Poor: Issues for Sociological Research
In this report on civil justice and the poor we seek to examine issues relevant to the sociology of law. We have studied law and poverty because this area seems to us most likely to call into question conventional assumptions about the structure, conditions and consequences of legal administration. Here, we believe, the actual operation of the legal system is most likely to deviate from received notions; and at this stage of inquiry gross deviati…
