An exploratory study of the factors influencing whether young people actively cooperate with the police. Policing and society: an internat…
The Quality of Mental Health Care for Veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom

This study used longitudinal data from adolescents, parents, friends, schools, and communities to examine the role of social and religious context on the development of public and subjective r…
Using and Evaluating Resampling Simulations in SPSS and Excel
The power of computing technology has increased at an astounding rate in the last decade. Today, the personal computer plays a key role in most introductory statistics courses, freeing students from computational drudgery as well as enabling a sharper instructional focus on data analysis and the interpretation of statistical results. Computers have also come to play an important role in teaching statistical concepts through simulations. Despite t…

The Rhythm of Work: Health Effects of Women's Work Dynamics
Theories on the health benefits of employment, health selection, and the stress of changes in work all suggest that work patterns should be important for women's health. Using a national longitudinal sample of women in their fifties and sixties, we examine how employment duration and transitions inform these theories of physical and emotional health. Women leave the labor force because of poor health, but longer employment also provides health be…
