Predictors of mental health court graduation
Mental health courts (MHCs), nontraditional problem-solving courts designed to address underlying causes of offending rather than apportion guilt and punishment, have been reported to reduce offending among persons with mental illness and consequently have been spreading. Graduation from a MHC has been found to be a major predictor of reduced recidivism; yet few studies have examined factors affecting MHC graduation. This study examines what part…
Effectiveness 2 Years Postexit of a Recently Established Mental Health Court
There are now more than 300 mental health courts in the United States; yet studies on their effectiveness in reducing criminal recidivism are relatively few, and most follow defendants after entry into the court, during their participation, and sometimes, for a short period following exit. Using a preenrollment-postexit design that follows participants of one mental health court for 2 years after exit, this article examines criminal recidivism of…

This article briefly describes the historical conditions in the origin and development of outpatient commitment that framed the discourse on its merits and the empirical studies on its outcomes. It divides those empirical studies into two sets on the basis of the questions addressed and critically reviews them. The review pays particular attention to the latest studies that were able to randomize subjects to experimental and control conditions an…

Inescapable Decisions: The Imperatives of Health Reform
Inescapable Decisions examines the disarray in the American health care system and proposes major corrective strategies. Mechanic shows that the high-technology interventionist type of medicine commonly practiced in the United States has lost its sense of priorities and balance. Expensive and sometimes dangerous procedures of unknown efficacy are used excessively and often inappropriately, while many basic preventive and primary care services rem…
The Social Context of Mental Illness and Violence
For years a debate existed in the literature concerning whether or not mentally ill persons were more dangerous than others. Empirical work was hampered by conceptual and methodological shortcomings, and was therefore unable to settle the debate. Recently, methodologically sophisticated studies have produced evidence which indicates a modest association between active major mental disorders and violence. While some interpret this association to m…

Representing Respondents Under New Civil Commitment Statutes: An Analysis of Counsel's Role In and Out of the Courtroom
Using quantifiable attorney behavior measures, instead of outcome measures, both before and during court hearings, this study attempts to evaluate legal representation under reform civil commitment procedures. Counsel representing involuntary commitment respondents full time were well prepared. Court appointed counsel, though better prepared than reported in studies done prior to reform, did not fully investigate their cases. Lack of adequate pre…
Judicial Decisions in Civil Commitment: Facts, Attitudes, and Psychiatric Recommendations
Regression analysis is applied to civil commitment decisions to evaluate the importance of psychiatric opinion, externally visible "facts," and judges' attitudes. Indices were constructed of evidence of dangerousness, based on information presented at court hearings, and of judges' attitudes toward psychiatrists, mental hospitals, and the mentally ill, based on their responses to Likert type items. Additional variables include respondent's prior …

"Parity, Family Size Preference and the "Value Stretch
A two-wave survey of women in their reproductive years living in poverty areas of New York City is used to investigate family size preferences among the poor. The hypotheses that parity affects family size preference and that current parity affects future parity are supported. Implications for future trends in family size preference and for family planning programs are discussed
Agricultural organization and fertility: A comparison of two Philippine Frontier communities
The effect of agricultural organization on fertility is examined by a cross‐sectional analysis of data from two rural Philippine communities. Largely settled after World War II, both communities began traditional subsistence farming. Over time one community has turned to commercial farming. Contrary to expectations, no substantial differences between the two communities are found in fertility levels or in the relationship between socioeconomic st…

Reformed Commitment Procedures: An Empirical Study in the Courtroom
Court proceedings and records were analyzed to evaluate statutory reform of mental commitment procedure in one state with a typical statute. A marked improvement over practice described in previous research was found: court proceedings were not rapid and perfunctory. However, the court still often deferred to psychiatric opinion even when a preponderance of evidence showed it to be unsubstantiated

Parity and Well-Being among Low-Income Urban Families
Women in inner-city neighborhoods characterized by poverty were interviewed to investigate the effect of parity on family well-being. Support was found for the hypothesis that parity causally affects family well-being. Parity at one point in time was negatively associated with later income per household member number of months mothers were employed and planning and organization of the household to fulfill family needs and positively correlated wi…
