Interracial Parentage as Revealed by Birth Records in the United States, 1970
Using the National Center for Health Statistics data file on births in the United States in 1970, detailed tables were prepared to show the relative races of the parents for each state. In the absence of marriage statistics in a number of the populous states, these results give a complete picture of what could be the general pattern of interracial unions in the United States, subject to qua I ifications inherent in the data. The overall proportio…

The Occupational Class of Couples Entering into Interracial Marriages
An Overview of Statistics on Interracial Marriage in the United States, with Data on Its Extent from 1963-1970
The increasing extent of interracial marriage between three racial groups, White, Negro, and Other Races, and the variations from state to state, is examined by using sample marriage record data from the U.S. Marriage Registration Area for the years 1963-1970. The differential proclivity of males and females towards interracial marrage is established for the three racial groups. Although marriage records have deficiencies, they are nevertheless t…

Marriage across Racial Lines in Indiana
Utilizing data tapes on marriages in Indiana for the period 1962-1967, all types of interracial marriages were selected for detailed and controlled analysis, in comparison to each other and to a sample of endogamous marriages of whites, Negroes, and Other Races. Negro marriages to whites occurred even prior to the repeal in 1965 of Indiana's stringent law against them, but since then there has been a definite rise in their proportion. An examinat…

Interracial Marriage and Divorce in Kansas and the Question of Instability of Mixed Marriages
Some critical comments on studies of interracial marriage are offered, and caution is urged in using information purporting to disclose the nature of the interracial marriage phen omenon, including United States Census and Vital Statistics data. The legal history of racial intermarriage in Kansas is outlined, and its statistical data upon these events are briefly evaluated. Beginning with the year 1947, mixed race marriage and divorce statistics …
The Extent of Interdenominational Marriage in the United States
M any Western nations regularly gather information on religious preference (United Nations, 1954), but in the United States there seems to be an extreme avoidance of a national inquiry of this kind. Although strongly recommended by a wide variety of groups over the years, a population census with such an item (except as hereinafter mentioned) has never been attempted (Smith and Hitt, 1952: 128-136; Intensive Review Committee, 1954: 673, 710, 773,…
Police Dispositions of Juvenile Offenders: The Problem of Measurement and a Study of Philadelphia Data
5W HAT OFFENSES are worthy of attention by the police? Who should be apprehended, warned, placed on record, or formally arrested? These questions are of no small importance when one tries to assess the extent of law-violating behavior, its nature and change over time, and its variation from place to place according to local definitions and customs. Police discretion or wisdom is a paramount factor in the sorting out process and in the implementat…
Interracial marriage: Data for Philadelphia and Pennsylvania
Our knowledge of interracial marriage in the United States is fragmentary, inadequate and fraught with contradictions. A major methodological finding of this study, discovered by a comparison of statistical records for Philadelphia (1960-1962 and 1965-1966) with marriage license applications, is that there has been a 32 percent error in reporting mixed race cases. The full significance of this as regards existing data can only be conjectured at p…

When Married Couples Part: Statistical Trends and Relationships in Divorce
A fundamental weakness of most divorce studies in which duration of marriage has significance is use of de jure (time of decree) rather than de facto (time of separation) information. Using scant data in literature and an admittedly crude measurement-the average of durations of marriages ending in divorce-the interval from marriage to separation is found to vary from area to area, from time to time, and from one population class to another. Coupl…

Religious Preference and Interreligious Mixtures in Marriages and Divorces in Iowa
Interreligious marriages are far more numerous than is generally recognized. Catholics in Iowa are more numerous than church figures show and account for a sizable number of the divorces, although they are only half as likely (or less) to divorce as are Protestants. Mixed-Catholic marriages show a greater proportion of dissolution than marriages in which both parties are Catholic

Is Childlessness Related to Family Stability
We have pointed up two different sets of interviewer traits, those connected with conscientiously completing the questionnaire and those derived from understanding of the study. The first set was associated with high reproducibility on scales with obvious patterns, the second with high reproducibility on subtle scales. As the two traits were found to be negatively correlated, it is likely that few interviewers will excel in both abilities. Which …

Divorce and Desertion by Religious and Mixed-Religious Groups
The Protestants of Philadelphia and other areas show a higher incidence of divorce than the Catholics, although there is now considerable divorce among the latter. On the other hand, in the white population, Catholics account for a disproportionate number of desertion and nonsupport cases, and the Jews appear least often of the three groups. Mixed marriages may (or may not) be more prone to end in divorce, but they show no undue tendency toward d…

One Hundred Years of Marriages in Massachusetts
The nature of remarriages in the United States has changed, and their relative number varies significantly with time and place. Allowances should also be made for nationality composition and migratory marriages. Percentagewise, marriages have not become earlier in Massachusetts. The crude average age at first marriage has gone up, fluctuating most in recent years. However, a refined method of calculation (limited to census years) produces a contr…
The Changing Probability of Divorce
I N MANY national statistical offices abroad, and in some local statistical offices in the United States, divorce data are often properly classified along with marriage data as vital statistics.' In view of the fact that the United States ranks first in its divorce rate, and recognizing the apparent threat of divorce to the family, it represents an evident lag that satistics of marriage and divorce have been so largely neglected in the United Sta…

How Stable Are Remarriages
Marriage and divorce records in Iowa and Missouri confirm the viewpoint that remarriages are not as enduring as first marriages and that the probability of divorce rises with each successive marriage. Information which distinguishes widowed from divorced persons is needed, but these data clearly suggest divorce proneness among divorced persons who remarry. Postwar remarriages in Iowa have shown a greater fragility, whereas first marriages are acc…
