Gender-Appropriate Mental Health Services for Incarcerated Women: Issues and Challenges
The rapid increase in the number of incarcerated women, the growing recognition of the limitations of male-oriented prison services in the rehabilitation of women, and the associated demands for reform that address the multiple issues of parity for women in prisons have led to an increase in the types of programming and services offered within women's prisons. These complexities are explored through an historic view, current research, contemporar…

Toward culturally sensitive research in a multicultural society
Applying research methods and techniques developed in a dominant culture to other cultures can threaten the validity and generalizability of research conducted with other cultures. Guidelines are proposed for increasing the cultural sensitivity of research, and a case example is discussed
Contextual Specificity, Discretion, and Cognitive Socialization: With Special Reference to Language

This paper examines social class differences in maternal reports of various contextual usages of language. The findings, obtained from a sample of 100 mothers, indicate social class differences in adult-adult and mother-chil…
Social Class Differences in the Relevance of Language to Socialization
This paper reports social class differences in the emphasis placed upon the use of language in two areas of the socialization of the child: inter-person relationships and the acquisition of basic skills. The sample of 100 mothers is a sub-sample of 120 mothers who live in a middle class area and 192 mothers who live in a working class area. (The correlation between area and the social class position of the family is 0.74.) The results obtained fr…
