National And Community Service: Challenges And Opportunities For People With Disabilities To Volunteer In America, Glen W. White
National And Community Service: Challenges And Opportunities For People With Disabilities To Volunteer In America, Glen W. White
Special Topics, General
The recently implemented National and Community Service Act of 1990 calls for Americans of all race, age, ability, and economic status to return to service in their community. To help facilitate this call to service, the National Commission on Community Service has allocated approximately 70 million dollars in grants. The Act focuses on the involvement of youth, including those who are economically disadvantaged and with disabilities. This paper discusses the challenges and opportunities faced by community service program planners and disability organizations, in their efforts to integrate volunteers with disabilities in service to the community. The paper concludes with a …

Identification Of Violence In Psychiatric Case Presentations, Edward W. Gondolf, Joyce Mcwilliams
Identification Of Violence In Psychiatric Case Presentations, Edward W. Gondolf, Joyce Mcwilliams
Clinical Sociology Review
Previous research on medical discourse suggests that physicians minimize patients' social problems through conversational and linguistic interactions. There has been little assessment, however, of the neglect of violence by psychiatric staff. In an attempt to address this important area, the case presentations of 77 recently violent psychiatric patients were examined. A contextual analysis of the violence mentioned during the case presentations revealed four categories of identification violence as part of the primary problem, as a psychiatric disorder, as an unrelated incident, or not mentioned at all In nearly two-thirds of the case presentations, the violence was not identified as part …

Family Ties During Imprisonment: Important To Whom And For What?, Creasie Finney Hairston
Family Ties During Imprisonment: Important To Whom And For What?, Creasie Finney Hairston
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
This paper reviews research on the social functions of prisoner-family ties. Three areas are examined: the preservation of marital units and parentchild bonds; the individual well-being of prisoners, children and other family members; and the prisoner's post-release success. The literature indicates that the maintenance of family ties during imprisonment is desirable, but difficult. Benefits suggested by empirical findings include decreased rates of recidivism following imprisonment, improved mental health of inmates and other family members, and an increased probability of reunification of the family household following imprisonment. The paper concludes with the identification of an agenda to guide future policy and …
