The Politics of Firearm Safety
An editorial is presented which addresses the political aspects of firearm safety in America as of 2018, and it mentions a balance of power, as well as several other articles which appear in the same issue of the journal and deal with topics such as gun violence prevention. Organizations that are seeking the enactment of firearm safety legislation are examined, along with the National Rifle Association of America, student activism, and changes to…
When Concealed Handgun Licensees Break Bad
Objectives. We explored differences in criminal convictions between holders and nonholders of a concealed handgun license (CHL) in Texas. Methods. The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) provides annual data on criminal convictions of holders and nonholders of CHLs. We used 2001 to 2009 DPS data to investigate the differences in the distribution of convictions for these 2 groups across 9 types of criminal offenses. We calculated z scores for …
Residential Rurality and Oral Health Disparities
Variations in Body Mass Index Among Older Americans
The findings acknowledge relationships between health characteristics, disability, and BMI among a national sample of older adults. These results suggest that prevention and management of health conditions, basic ADL, and BMI may be reasonable targets for intervention
It's a family affair
Nursing homes in the United States have for over 40-years been riddled with evidence of poor performance. To combat problems in this industry, state and federal governments developed an elaborate monitoring and regulatory structure. At the same time, an important citizens' movement involving nursing-home consumer advocacy groups (CAGs) came to life. This paper presents the results of a postal survey of 47 active nursing-home consumer advocacy gro…
Assisted Living in Rural America
Context: Expanding the availability of long‐term care (LTC) services and making them more responsive to consumer preferences is an important goal, particularly for elderly people living in rural areas who tend to be older and have greater functional limitations but less access to the range of LTC options available in metropolitan areas. One option that has been growing in popularity is assisted‐living facilities (ALFs). Purpose and Methods: This …
Health in Rural America
Historically, public health has been viewed through a variety of lenses. One lens focuses on the contrast between the science and the practice of public health.1 Another focuses on individual versus social responsibility for health.2 A third lens visualizes the contrast between an emphasis on disease categories and an emphasis on functional communities.3 A fourth focuses attention on the distinction between market forces and social justice.4 Of p…
Rurality and Nursing Home Quality
Objectives. We examined differences in quality of care among nursing homes in locales of varying degrees of rurality. Methods. We classified locales into 4 classes according to rurality. We analyzed a 10% sample of nursing home admissions in the United States in 2000 (n=198613) to estimate survival models for 9 quality indicators. Results. For postacute admissions, we observed significant differences in rates of decline for residents in facilitie…

Facility and Area Variation Affecting the Use of Physical Restraints in Nursing Homes
OBJECTIVES: Various individual characteristics increase a nursing home resident's likelihood of being mechanically restrained. However, there is not good information on the role played by facility characteristics and geographic area in determining the likelihood of physical restraint use. This study investigates the importance of individual, facility, and area indicators in determining the likelihood of restraint use. METHODS: This research uses …
Reducing the use of physical restraints in nursing homes
OBJECTIVES. Reducing the widespread use of physical restraints in nursing homes is a primary goal of the federal nursing home reforms enacted as part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987. However, some nursing home operators assert that reducing restraint use could be prohibitively expensive, costing payors perhaps as much as $1 billion annually. We investigated whether nursing home residents free from physical restraint require more …
Nursing Home Case-Mix Classification and Residents Suffering from Cognitive Impairment
Case-mix reimbursement systems for nursing home care are now in use or under consideration in over 20 states. Though many in the long-term care field still debate the relative merits of the various systems, those systems based on the Resource Utilization Groups-II (RUG-II) system used in New York seem to be increasingly popular. However, one of the more serious questions raised concerning RUG-like systems is whether they fully acknowledge the rol…
Designing the National Resident Assessment Instrument for Nursing Homes
In response to the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1987 mandate for the development of a national resident assessment system for nursing facilities, a consortium of professionals developed the first major component of this system, the Minimum Data Set (MDS) for Resident Assessment and Care Screening. A two-state field trial tested the reliability of individual assessment items, the overall performance of the instrument, and the time involved in its…
Exploring Relations Among Forms of Social Control
Official and unofficial forms of social control are usually considered substitutable responses to individual acts of deviance. This analysis of the lynching and execution of blacks in North Carolina indicates that these two forms of social control, one official and the other unofficial, served not simply as substitutes, but also as complements during much of the latter part of the nineteenth century. Only after the disenfranchisement of the black…
Social Structure and Social Control
This research evaluates whether the distribution of racially discriminatory executions in the South during an earlier era in this century was affected by minority presence and other variables suggested by the conflict perspective. The contextual model used in this analysis of official killing in 261 counties considers discriminatory executions a function of minority presence, urbanization, culture, and the availability of other forms of social co…
Aggressive Policing and the Deterrence of Crime
Recent analyses of the relationship between crime and an aggressive patrol strategy have led to no single conclusion concerning the deterrent power of aggressive policing. This research adds to that debate by exploring the effects of a variety of aggressive patrol tactics on several different crimes. The empirical analysis, based on cross‐sectional data from sixty urban neighborhoods, indicates that there appears to be no stable complex of police…
Aggressive Patrol
Recent interest in the possible deterrent effects of aggressive or proactive policing raises the issue of such strategies' consequences for individual liberties and police‐community relations. This study examines the latter—specifically, the effects of four neighborhood‐level measures of an aggressive patrol style on citizens' evaluations of police and citizens' propensities to report crimes. The results suggest that, for most citizens, aggressiv…
Labelling and Juvenile Court Dispositions
This research tests three hypotheses implicit in the societal reaction perspective, with data on approximately 3,300 juvenile court dispositions involving the members of a birth cohort of 1,100 violent juveniles. The results indicate, contrary to the implications of the labelling perspective, that defendants' social attributes play little role in this court's decisions. Two findings, however, provide some support for labellers' contentions. First…
Repeat Players” in a Criminal Court the Fate of Their Clients
That judges, defense attorneys, and prosecutors are part of a courthouse community that responds to organizational pressures is no longer questioned. What remains puzzling is exactly what impact organizational factors have on case outcomes. In this research, one aspect of this general question is investigated‐whether the clients of “repeat‐players” enjoy special benefits or bear special burdens when punishments are distributed. Previous research …
