Citizen Perceptions Of Various Police Behaviors: A Conceptual Framework And Practical Recommendations For Improvement, H. Preston Elrod
Masters Theses

Although numerous studies have examined general attitudes toward the police, few have examined citizen attitudes toward specific police behaviors within a broad socio-historical framework and attempted to make practical recommendations to the police based on such findings. This is the intent of this study.
The findings of this study are based on a random sample of households in Kalamazoo, Michigan, during 1978 and employs both bivariate and multivariate statistical techniques. Generally, it was found that …
Deterrence And The Celerity Of The Death Penalty - A Neglected Question In Deterrence Research, William C. Bailey
Deterrence And The Celerity Of The Death Penalty - A Neglected Question In Deterrence Research, William C. Bailey
Sociology & Criminology Faculty Publications
This paper examines the deterrent effect of the celerity of the death penalty on homicide rates.

The Deinstitutionalization Of Juvenile Status Offenders: New Myths And Old Realities, C. Aaron Mcneece
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Claims are being made for deinstitutionalization that obscure some of the lesser known, negative effects. Within the juvenile justice system, for example, many juveniles who were previously institutionalized as juvenile status offenders are being relabelled and institutionalized as jivenile delinquents. In the state system studied in this report, the total number of juveniles in institutional programs did not decrease during the period of "deinstitutionalization."
