The utility of citation-based quality assessments
Social Science Research and Some Implications for Afro-American Scholars
The impact of science and technology on the values, customs, institutions, and social arrangements of this society has been complex and widespread. This influence has been in all areas of life. It has been negative as well as positive. On the positive side, developments in alleviating human misery and suffering are phenomenal. Through advancements in scientific knowledge, the quality of living has been enhanced. Many of the once common life-threa…

The Effect of Formal and Informal Sanctions on Delinquency
Theoretical conflicts and contradictions tend to be more apparent than real. They commonly are based on little more than the choice of quite different levels of analysis, dissimilar operationalizations of key concepts, or a host of other factors that can foster significant misconceptions. From time to time, however, one encounters theoretically and substantively significant situations within which very matter-of-fact contradictions do exist. The …

The Impact of Confinement on Juveniles
Prisoner Subcultures
Structural and Social Psychological Correlates of Prlsonlzatlon
This study. based on an analysis of data obtained from a randomly selected sample of 239 inmates of a maximum security federal penetentiary, assesses the explanotory power and relative importance of variables related to prisonization in the previous literature. While support for hypotheses derived from the importation and deprivation models was found, our analysis. consistent with earlier research, reveals that the proportion of variance in priso…
Prisonization and its Consequences
The purpose of this study is to outline and assess the utility of a model capable of accounting for several consequences of confinement. Toward that end an attempt is made to integrate several variables emphasized by the two basic paradigms which have been advanced to account for patterns of assimilation into the inmate society, the “deprivation model” and the “importation model,” into a model that draws heavily on the logic of Etzioni's complian…
Correlates of Prison Drug Use an Evaluation of Two Conceptual Models
This study, essentially an extension of the recent work of Akers et al., represents an attempt to evaluate the utility of two theoretical paradigms in accounting for illicit drug use in a prison setting. Based on self‐report data obtained from a sample of 273 adult felons who were confined in a medium security penitentiary, the analysis presented demonstrates that virtually all of those inmates who reported drug use within the prison had also use…
The Effect of Social Characteristics on Juvenile Court Dispositions
Of the growing number of criticisms directed at various facets of the juvenile justice system, none is more common than the contention that the informality of the juvenile court encourages discrimination. The purpose of this study, which is based on data obtained from a sample of 1,522 official court records, is to provide an assessment of the impact of a variety of social background, demographic, and offense-related variables on the severity of …

The Marihuana Muddle
Juvenile Court Intake An Analysis of Discretionary Decision‐Making
An increasing amount of pressure has been directed toward juvenile court operations, much of which has focused on the hypothesized abuse of the broad discretionary decision‐making power that has traditionally been vested in the court. In this paper, we attempt to examine the extent to which factors not directly associated with the nature of the alleged offense may alter the probability that a juvenile w.11 be referred for a formal hearing in the …
Theoretical Perspectives on Alienation in the Prison Society
A sociological perspective on public support for capital punishment
Conceptualizations of public support for the death penalty that suggest that punitiveness, desire for vengenance, authoritarianism, polital conservatism, or other characteristics generally held in low esteem by many in the academic and research communities are the primary or most significant predictors of citizen responses to this issue are challenged. It is proposed instead that fear of crime, perceptions of increasing crime rates, a belief in t…

The Bureaucratization Process and Its Effects
The System‐Maintenance Role of the White Psychologist
A practicing investigator cognizant of the limitations of science claims that the white psychologist cannot help but maintain the current social system since he is rewarded quite well by it for his current activities. If he were to radically change his current activities, he would no longer be rewarded by the system in which he functions. The common dimension characteristic of white psychologists, justification for the status quo, manifests itsel…

The Importation Model Perspective on Inmate Social Roles
Two theoretical models have emerged to account for variations in the response to imprisonment among inmate populations. One, the “deprivation model,” focuses attention on the pressures and deprivations which confront the inmates. The other, the “importation model,” critiques the closed-system orientation of the deprivation model and suggests that the scope of an adequate explanation must give systematic attention to factors beyond the immediate p…
Abortion and the Unwanted Child
Prisonization in the Inmate Contraculture
This study, based on data obtained from a sample of 276 adult male felons confined in a maximum-security penitentiary, provides a test of the implications of a theoretical model that links levels of prisonization to the expected consequences of that process that appear to inhibit the attainment of any prosocial changes in the world-views of the inmates. In addition, the study provides a partial test of what have become defined as the importation …
