Men's Social Integration after Incarceration: The Role of Organizationally Embedded Prison-Forged Networks
Research shows that social ties and social support are central to former prisoners' social integration; however, most scholarship focuses on family ties. Beyond family ties, we know little about the composition of former prisoners' personal networks or how non-family ties may form and influence social integration. This article investigates in detail the personal networks of a group of male former prisoners and documents how they use their social …

From punishment to treatment: A providers’ perspective on the implementation of 2009 Rockefeller Drug Law reforms in New York
In 2009, New York reformed its “Rockefeller Drug Laws”, terminating mandatory imprisonment for many drug charges and expanding the availability of treatment alternatives to incarceration. The reforms occurred in an environment characterized by high incarceration rates, racial/ethnic disparities in drug convictions and incarceration rates, and expanded use of alternatives to incarceration. Early administrative data show a large impact on the crimi…

Civil servant attitudes toward the U.N. in Guatemala, Norway, and the United States
This research note reports the findings of a mail survey of higher level Guatemalan civil servants, soliciting their views on the United Nations. The survey was administered in the summer of 1979 for comparison with similar surveys of Norwegian and United States officials undertaken five years earlier, to determine whether experience with international organizations produces attitudes more favorable to international cooperation
The FAO and the Usda: Implications for Functionalist Learning
The Fao and the Usda: Implications for Functionalist Learning
International functionalism embraces much more than a theory of attitude change. Functionalists would probably attach most importance to its prescriptive aspect which calls for the piecemeal organization of international life in areas where cooperation across national boundaries is essential to effective action. But the functionalist prescription is premised on a distinctive set of empirical notions about the growth of international institutions …
The Bank, the IMF, and the WHO: More Data On Functionalist Learning
Responses to a mailed questionnaire indicate that experience with the World Bank, the IMF and the WHO does not necessarily result in attitudes more favorable to those agencies or to international cooperation. Attitudes tend to be multidimensional, and increased experience is associated with favorable attitudes along some dimensions but not others. Despite functionalist assumptions to the contrary, attitudinal responses to participation in the wor…
The United States and Diffusion of Power in the Security Council
U.S. support for the United Nations, both public and private, has experienced a severe long-run decline. This is indicated by official statements about the United Nations, U.S. percentage contributions to UN programs, and polls of public and congressional opinion. Declining support has paralleled loss of U.S. influence in General Assembly voting and decreased U.S. enthusiasm for the body. Diffusion of power has also weakened the U.S. position in …
One small step for functionalism: UN participation and Congressional attitude change
As an explanation of organizational growth at the international level, functionalism postulates that people who become personally involved in the activities of international agencies will develop attitudes more favorable to international cooperation. Analysis of speeches by United States Congressmen and Senators before and after serving as delegates to the UN General Assembly indicates that significant attitudinal change may occur. At the cogniti…
Behavioralism in the Study of the United Nations
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effect of behavioralism upon the study of the United Nations as reflected in journal articles published during the period 1950-1969.Scope and Method of This StudyIn recent years students of politics have become increasingly self-conscious about the spread of behavioral methods and viewpoints within the discipline. A great deal of energy has been expended in explaining what behavioralism is, defending i…
Africa and United Nations Elections: An Aggregate Data Analysis
In the United Nations as in other political organizations elective offices are eagerly sought as badges of prestige and levers of influence. Some of the most hotly contested political battles in the United Nations have centred around elections to the prestigious and influential nonpermanent seats on the Security Council. Contests have sometimes run to many ballots before any country emerged with the required two-thirds majority, and deadlock has …

Overselling the Un Charter—Fact and Myth
For almost a decade commentators on international organization have nurtured the myth that the UN Charter was originally ‘oversold’ to the American public by enthusiastic supporters, who represented the organization as a panacea for the ills of twentieth-century world politics. So unrealistic were the expectations created by this publicity barrage, so the story runs, that subsequent disillusionment with die UN was inevitable. Although propagated …
