Cops on Call: Summoning the Police to the Scene of Spousal Violence
In this paper, we examine factors that affect whether the police are summoned to incidents of spousal violence. The actions of bystanders are distinguished from the actions of victims, and we find that victims and bystanders are moved by somewhat different influences. We also find that the immediate features of the situation dominate the decision to call the police and that many legitimate concerns are salient (e.g., whether there are injuries). …
Supply-Side Sociology of the Family: The Challenge of the New Home Economics
In this paper we review recent developments in microeconomic perspectives on the family. We focus on the household production function, describing both the strengths and weaknesses of the New Home Economics. We also extract some implications for sociological research on the family

"Handling" Family Violence: Situational Determinants of Police Arrest in Domestic Disturbances
The recent "discovery" of family violence, particularly violence between spouses, has elicited attention from social scientists and policy makers. Police intervention in domestic disputes is a primary focus. Critiques of police practice have often centered on police failure to arrest offenders in domestic violence incidents. Yet, the literature to date reveals little effort to examine systematically the discretionary role of police in domestic di…

A Simultaneous Equation Model for the Division of Household Labor
In this paper a three-equation, nonrecursive model for the household division of labor is proposed based on recent work in the New Home Economics. The model is estimated with data from a sample of 184 households. In contrast to the earlier studies of household work, direct measures are provided for the household efforts of husbands and children and substitution effects are isolated from income effects. While wives (as expected) are found to do th…
Going Backstage: Gaining Access to Observe Household Work
This paper draws on initial field experiences of the authors as participant observers of family members engaged in household work. Negotiating access and establishing rapport provided more than unusual problems of data collection. Such experiences also generated substantive insights into the characteristics of household work. Discussion focuses on the relationships between features of the household work setting, lack of consensus on the criteria …
