This paper focuses upon how the resources and technology available to an organization can be organized and structured to accomplish program goals. A systems model is offered whereby emphasis upon self-control, communication, and feedback is applied to agency performance rather than effort. A growing use of different kinds of manpower and increasing specialization in social welfare agencies requires consideration of both the individual and the work environment. The way in which work is organized and structured may increasingly determine the kind and quality of services an agency provides to its clients. 相似文献

This study examines the relationship between gender and sentencing severity in the criminal justice system. Analysis focuses (1) on the extent to which gender influences sentencing and (2) on the part played by probation officers' presentence investigations in accounting for these differences. We find males are more likely than females to receive harsh sentences. The gender effect is diminished, but not ellmnished, in multivariate analyses, when controls are introduced for other sociodemographic and legal variables. The length of pretrial detention and the amount of charge reduction also have little impact on the magnitude of this relationship. Presentence recommendations by probation officers, however, have a major effect. Independent of other potential influences, being female greatly increases the likelihood of receiving a non-incarceration sentence recommendation which, in turn, is the primary predictor of final criminal court dispositions. A large portion of the gender effect in sentencing enters during the presentence stage, apparently because probation officers (the court officials who prepare the presentence reports) are influenced by traditional ideas about gender roles. Qualitative data suggest that they believe the sources of crime are different for women and men and that imprisonment is more appropriate as a treatment for men. 相似文献

This study examines the relationship between religiosity and alcohol use and perceived misuse. Unlike most past research, we focus on adults rather than adolescents and distinguish among specific Protestant denominations. We also use a more appropriate statistical technique and place the findings in a theoretical context. The analysis shows that religiosity is clearly related to alcohol use, mainly because people's religion serves as a reference group influencing their behavior. The analysis also shows that religiosity is not related to perceived misuse of alcohol, mainly because societal norms are congruent with religious norms and, hence, appear to overwhelm any effect of religion. 相似文献

This paper deals with the overall aspects of the demography and geography of this small yet significant element in the American population before the Civil War. By means of maps and graphs, the history of the distribution of the free Negro in both the north and the south in the years 1790–1860 is traced and analysed. After the areal and demographic characteristics of this distinctive group have been determined (this includes a delineation of population regions), an effort is made to account for these phenomena, and especially for the rather peculiar migrational pattern, as well as the data permit. The almost complete lack of information on internal migration necessitates the study of sex ratio and age composition for indirect clues as to the volume and direction of movements. Some attempt is made to assess the quantitative influence of the Underground Railroad on Negro population patterns. The study of causes includes a consideration of environmental, legal, economic, social, historical, and transportational factors. 相似文献
