  • Some Misleading Conceptions in Sentencing Research: An Example and a Reformulation in the Juvenile Court

    Open AccessAllan V Horwitz, Allan Horwitz et al.ARTICLECriminology1980Cited by: 13References: 18

    Most studies of sentencing practices in both adult and juvenile courts have compared the relative power to predict dispositions of “legal” variables, such as the seriousness of offense and previous arrest record, and “extralegal” variables, such as race and social class. It is suggested that this is a misleading model for research on the decision‐making process in juvenile courts. Instead, results presented here indicate that the juvenile court u…

  • The Pathways into Psychiatric Treatment: Some Differences Between Men and Women

    Allan V Horwitz, Allan HorwitzARTICLEJournal of Health and Social…1977Cited by: 21

    In this report we test several hypotheses on the different pathways through which ment and women enter psychiatric treatment: women in treatment should have been more likely than men to recognize perceived psychiatric problems, to discuss these problems with other people, and to enter treatment voluntarily. Data from interviews with 120 patients at a community mental health center are consistent with each hypothesis. Several implications of the f…
