America's Progress in Achieving the Legalization of Same-Gender Adoption: Analysis of Public Opinion, 1994 to 2012
The struggle to achieve the legalization of same-gender adoption is ongoing. Notably, not until 2011 was adoption by a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender individual legalized in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and adoption by same-gender couples is still illegal in many states. Anti-adoption forces are ever-present: From 2011 to 2013, at least five states passed laws granting faith-based agencies the right to refuse service to sam…
Attitudes Toward Same-Gender Adoption and Parenting: An Analysis of Surveys from 16 Countries
Globally, little progress has been made toward the legalization of same-gender adoption. Of the nearly 200 United Nations members, only 15 countries with populations of 3 million or more have approved LGBT adoption without restrictions. The objectives of this paper are, first, to provide a brief background of the obstacles confronting same-gender adoption including the role of adoption agencies and parenting issues; second, to discuss the current…
Same-Gender Marriage: Implications for Social Work Practitioners
Notably, in 2013, Maryland, Rhode Island, Delaware, and Minnesota became the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th states, respectively, to legalize same-gender marriage. Without legal recognition or social support from the larger society, the majority of same-gender partnerships in the U.S. are denied privileges and rights that are considered basic for heterosexual marriages. This manuscript draws from a national cross section of published survey data from…
End-of-Life Issues in the United States after Terri Schiavo: Implications for Social Work Practice
The very public death of Terri Schiavo in 2005 alerted Americans to what is a growing ethical, medical, and social crisis: the status of end-of-life issues and decisions in the United States. Currently, Oregon is the only state to give terminally ill patients the right to end their lives, with physicians' help, if they so choose. Public opinion data from 1977 to the present show that Americans support greater rights for individuals facing end-of-…
Americans' Attitudes Toward Euthanasia and Physician-Assisted Suicide, 1936-2002
Public opinion polls conducted from 1936 to 2002 found that Americans support both euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. Although public opinion regarding end-oflife decisions appears to have been influenced by the events of the times, Americans have consistently favored the freedom to end one's life when the perceived quality of life has significantly diminished, either by one's own hand or with the assistance of a physician. This paper ind…
Social workers’ roles in the criminal justice system: Adapting to the USA’s changing attitudes towards the death penalty, 1953-2001
English This article examines trends in American public opinion on capital punishment between 1953 and 2002. It seems that Americans believe that the government spends too little on crime deterrence, that courts are not harsh enough with criminals, and that the death penalty is appropriate for murderers. Implications for social workers are suggested. French Cet article examine les tendances de l'opinion publique américaine concernant la peine cap…
America's Changing Attitudes Toward Black-White Relations, 1958–2001
National public opinion polls conducted from 1958 to 2001 found that Americans' attitudes toward Black-White relations in the United States had evolved, although some traditional attitudes remained the same. This article examines Black-White opinions regarding four contemporary issues. Respondents were asked to report their attitude toward job satisfaction, willingness to vote for a Black president, satisfaction with their standard of living, and…
Immigration and Immigrants: Trends in American Public Opinion, 1964-1999
Public opinion polls conducted from 1964 to 1999 found that Americans' desire to reduce immigration increased dramatically, but there existed a wide variation regarding which nationalities were to be restricted. Furthermore, the majority believed that many immigrants wind up on welfare and raise taxes for Americans and, hence, cause problems for the United States. This article reports on these findings and their implications for current political…
Life and Death Decisions: America's Changing Attitudes Towards Genetic Engineering, Genetic Testing and Abortion, 1972-98

Crime Rates and Confidence in the Police: America's Changing Attitudes toward Crime and Police, 1972-1999
This paper examines American national public opinion on crime and the American police force. The data were gathered from published opinion polls of national samples of adults taken from 1972-1999. The findings reveal that Americans have contradictory perceptions regarding crime in their area, crime in our nation, confidence in the police, and the honesty of the nation's police officers. A growing number of respondents report that crime seems to b…
America's Changing Attitudes Toward Welfare and Welfare Recipients, 1938-1995
This paper examines American national public opinion on welfare, welfare recipients, and the government's role in welfare programs. The data were gathered from published public opinion polls of national samples of adults taken between 1938 and 1995. The findings indicate that public opinion has remained relatively stable over this 57-year period, with the majority of Americans believing that the government has a responsibility to help those in ne…

Socioeconomic Mobility among Three Generations of Japanese Americans 1
Data from a three generational survey of Japanese Americans indicate that the occupational and educational attainments of the first generation (Issei) are reflected in the achievements of the second and third generations. Findings suggest that two different currents flow in the Japanese American community, one relatively traditional, the other more assimilationist. It is expected that only assimilationists will survive—but in a modified fashion. …

The Contact Hypothesis: Social and Economic Contact and Generational Changes in the Study of Black Anti-Semitism
Studies indicate that respondents experiencing equal-status contact across ethnic lines are more likely to hold tolerant attitudes toward minorities than those not having been exposed to such interaction. This paper extends the research on this proposition in three ways. We examine: (1) responses of blacks reporting equal-status contact with Jews; (2) effects of equal-status contact compared with other types of reported associations with Jews suc…

Assimilation and Educational Achievement: The Case of the Second Generation Japanese-American
A review of the literature reveals three conflicting hypotheses concerning Japanese-American educational achievement. Data from a three-generational, national sample of Japanese-Americans are examined to determine the correlates of the second-generation respondents' (the Nisei) educational achievement. Employing four measures of assimilation—cultural, structural, marital, and identificational—the findings suggest that the greater the assimilation…
