Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractJuvenile Court Dispositions in the Deep South: Examining the Concept of Justice by GeographyBret Blackmon, Daphne S. Cain, Michelle LivermoreThe concept of justice by geography suggests that sentencing decisions in the juvenile justice system are influenced by the geographical context of the courts. This study sought to examine this phenomenon by examining rates of harsh juvenile sentencing (dispositions) in 64 parishes (i.e., counties) in the Deep South using parish-level characteristics such as geographic location (urban/suburban vs. rural), race and … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2015 · 7,250 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSex, Health Behaviors and Social Support: Functional Decline among Older DiabeticsEmily Joy NicklettProblem statement: Men and women experience pronounced differences in functional decline as they age. The mechanisms behind these differences remain unclear, particularly among chronically ill populations. Drawing on the theory of the disablement process, this research examines sex differences in functional decline, focusing on two mechanisms suggested by the literature to partially mediate these disparities: health behaviors and social support. … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 19 May 2012 · 8,045 accessesView PDFCite
