Racial, Ethnic, and Color-Based Discrimination and Pre-Pregnancy Risk Factors for Preeclampsia Among Nulliparous Patients
Introduction: Obesity and chronic hypertension are well-known risk factors for maternal morbidity and mortality. Evidence suggests racism contributes to the development of these chronic conditions. Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of the Nulliparous Pregnancy Outcomes: monitoring mothers-to-be (nuMoM2b) cohort, which recruited nulliparous pregnant participants in the United States in 2010-2013. Using logistic regression, we assessed the…
IMPaCT
Introduction: Preterm birth is a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality rate. Non-Hispanic black patients disproportionately experience preterm birth and nonadherence to evidence-based preventive measures. Interventions tailored to non-Hispanic black birthing individuals (NHBBIs) that address barriers to preterm birth preventions are urgently needed. Methods: Together with a community-engaged multidisciplinary stakeholder group, we devel…

Controlling Delinquents
"Delinquency is one of those social problem areas that calls upon the contributions of many different disciplines. A wide variety of social, psychological, economic, and political forces interact in the organization and operation of agencies of delinquency prevention and control as well as in the lives of delinquents. As a result, research on delinquency is exceedingly complex. To understand what is required to understand delinquency, it is neces…

Crimes of the Middle Classes
Class, Status, and the Punishment of White-Collar Criminals
The treatment of white-collar offenders by the criminal justice system has been a central concern since the concept of white-collar crime was first introduced In general, it has been assumed that those higher up the social hierarchy have an advantage in every part of the legal process, including the punishment they receive as white-collar criminals. In a controversial study of white-collar crime sentencing in the federal district courts, Wheeler,…

Do The "Haves" Come Out Ahead? Winning and Losing in State Supreme Courts, 1870-1970
This paper tests the hypothesis that financially and organizationally stronger parties tend to prevail in litigation against weaker parties, either because the normative structure of the American legal system has favored "the haves," or because judges' attitudes do, or because stronger parties have strategic and representational advantages in litigation. The study is based on a sample of 5,904 cases from sixteen state supreme courts, 1870-1970. A…

The Chicago Tribune Sports Page, 1900 - 1975
A content analysis of The Chicago Tribune’s sports page from 1900 to 1975 provides an empirical base for assessing the changing nature of organized sport in American life. The findings show that there has been an expansion of the sports page relative to the rest of the newspaper; there has been remarkable stability in the coverage of the dominant sports of baseball and football; and there has been a progressive shift from amateur to professional,…
Social History and Social Policy
Sentencing the White-Collar Offender
This paper examines the severity of sentences meted out to persons convicted in federal court of presumptively white-collar crimes. Most of the items examined were suggested by federal district court judges and were drawn from presentence investigation reports. The sample provided enough variation in social status to allow testing of hypotheses about the relation of sentencing to social class background. The results indicate that sentencing is mo…

Social History and Social Policy
State Supreme Courts
Appellate court opinions, carefully indexed and preserved in law libraries, are a tremendous resource for historians and social scientists. In the theory of the common law, these opinions are the law; they stand in the center of the legal system. Their power is enhanced by the common law doctrine that links them in a chain of influence and causation–the doctrine of precedent. Their precedential value means that they are also powerful resources fo…

The Business of State Supreme Courts, 1870-1970
The highest courts of the 50 states are by any measure important legal institutions. The state supreme courts (SSCs) handle an enormous volume of significant cases every year, cases that have made the journey up the steep ladder of appeal. Although often overshadowed in the public eye by the federal courts, SSCs decide many fundamental issues of individual rights and governmental powers. They are the courts of last resort on most issues of commer…

Trends and Problems in the Sociological Study of Crime
Major trends in the sociological study of crime for the past quarter of a century include a movement away from concrete studies of crime and criminals toward more general theories of deviance and social control, the development of labeling theory as a dominant perspective in sociology, a concentration on applied, “impact” studies, and the growth of conflict theory. One consequence of these trends is that we have withdrawn attention from the offen…
Socialization in Correctional Communities
Twenty years ago the sociologist Donald Clemmer introduced the concept of prisonization to account for the changes inmates undergo during periods of confinement. This paper reexamines the concept of prisonization and provides an empirical test of the processes Clemmer described. Because of Clemmer's concern with the process of induction, little attention has been paid to changes inmates may exhibit as they approach the time of release. Evidence f…
