Life after the Death of a Child
This article presents research on both the source and continuity of support received by bereaved parent(s) within four different social contexts: family, friends, co-workers, and clergy. The data were obtained from a study conducted in 1990–91 on the social impact of the death of a child, and are drawn from fourteen interviews with bereaved parents representing nine families and ten child deaths. The responses to three questions are considered. F…
Captives of conflict
A brief history of the conflict over the initially voluntary and subsequently mandated turtle excluder devices (TEDs) is given. Using surveys, focused interviews, and documentary evidence, the major stakeholders in the marine environment are profiled. Analysis is focused on the way each party to the environmental controversy over the protection of sea turtles contributed to escalating the conflict. It is argued that contenders for the resource be…

Legal drinking age and alcohol consumption
Utilizing samples from two states, one where the legal age for the possession and consumption of alcohol was 18 (Louisiana) and one where the legal age was 21 (North Carolina), we examine the assumption that restricting access to alcohol results in lower alcohol consumption rates for the target population (age 18–20). We find little support for this assumption, but considerable evidence that restrictive legislation drives younger drinkers undergr…
Crime and economic activity
This paper examines the relationship between unemployment, median income, and the seven F.B.I. Index crimes. The analysis lends support to the contention that opportunity is a stronger motivator of criminal activity than is deprivation. The paper also calls into question the propriety of official unemployment rates as indicators of economic deprivation, at least at the state level. Thus, economic deprivation cannot be ruled out as a causal elemen…
Work Scheduling and Family Interaction
This article offers an expansion of the construction of reality paradigm as proposed by Berger and Kellner (1964) as an appropriate theoretical perspective for the examination of the link between work scheduling and family interaction. The argument is that not only does this perspective allow an examination across a continuum of family member absences, but that this perspective is applicable across the family life cycle, and with increasingly evi…
Expanding a typology of the dimensions of marked relationships
This paper expands a typology of underlying elements that influence the role of the stigmatized individual in interpersonal relations. The six dimensions of Jones et al. (1984)—concealability, course, disruptiveness, aesthetic qualities, origin, and peril—are expanded and altered to include the stigmatized individual as a more active actor in the labeling process. Two additional dimensions are added: exploitability and historical precedent, and o…
