Self at the Heart of Trust
Trust is a way of organizing one’s relationship to the other, an orientation that exemplifies Simmel’s form of association of the second order. Whereas much has been said about the “further element” that distinguishes trust from confidence, I argue that the missing element is self. Confidence building is an inherently systemic or institution relevant function; in contrast, trust emerges in relationship to the self of the role-occupant, for this i…
Bonding to Youth Clubs and Delinquency
On constructing trust
Surveys students of sociology classes at a small college in the Northeastern USA to examine the process through which people construct trust in their interpersonal lives, focusing on friendship and love relationships. Refers to previous research into trust, in an attempt to define it satisfactorily. Describes the process by which a trust relationship is established and earned, noting that time and sychronicity form the basis of developing shared …
Family Bonding and Delinquency
Research investigating racially and cultural varied influences on delinquency has been rather sparse. In this study, we investigate the cultural sensitivity of Hirschi's social bonding theory across a racially/ethnically diverse sample (i.e., Whites, African Americans, and Hispanics). The study also is unique due to the young age of its respondents (i.e., sixth graders and eighth graders). In this article, we compare the reliability and validity …

Adolescence poses some distinct challenges to the interviewing process. Applied social scientists frequently use the interview as a tool for the gathering of information from adolescents, but the paucity of information in the literature renders a discussion of adolescent issues particularly appropriate. Developmental issues, methodological issues surrounding the construction of and conducting of the early adolescent research interview, and legal …
From Crime to Choice
This work provides the first broadly based documentation and analysis of the evolution of abortion from criminal act to personal choice. The author places the abortion question in the wider context of change in the social realm and in law, politics, economics, and medical practice. Dealing with the confrontation between pro-life and pro-choice groups, Davis analyzes feminist interpretations of abortion reform and discusses efforts to create a hum…
Abortion Counseling at the Boulder Valley Clinic
The Boulder Valley Clinic is a private, nonprofit corporation organized in 1973 by citizens of Boulder, Colorado. The Clinic was set up to provide safe, low-cost abortions to women who need them, and to do so in a humane, supportive, and dignified manner. The Boulder Valley Clinic is unique in that the psycho-social aspects of the procedure receive as much attention as the medical. Each woman who comes to our Clinic is accompanied and assisted th…
