Publication SOCIAL CLASS AND DEVIANT BEHAVIOR: SUGGESTIONS FOR THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL IMPROVEMENT(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1970-01-01) Vedder, Charles B.Sociological theories which posit an inverse causal relationship between social class and deviant behavior are able to coexist with other sociological theories stressing a positive relationship between social class and deviance because of the present theoretical and empirical inability to distinguish between them. In order to resolve this dilemma, class-deviance theorists are advised to restrict their concern to behaviors that show promise of class linkage, to specify limiting conditions in the formation of propositions, and to entertain reasonable alternative explanations. Methodologists could also profit by employing multiple measures of the class variable, by utilizing a more precise cutting point strategy with respect to class, and by using both self-report and official indicators of deviance.Publication Role Consensus and Supervisor Involvement in Small Welfare Agencies(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1970-01-01) Weed, Frank J.In this study it is hypothesized that the greatest role consensus between supervisors and subordinates will be found in offices where the role specializations of the supervisor's position is low and where his involvement with the subordinates is high. In addition, it is hypothesized that in offices where the supervisor's span-of-control is small, the supervisor involvement will be high, and where the supervisor's involvement is high the group cohesion of the caseworkers will also be high.Publication RESPONDING TO OBSCENITY: METHODOLOGICAL AND CONCEPTUAL PROBLEMS(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1970-01-01) Turner, StevenPublication Kansas Journal of Sociology, Volume 6, Number 4 (WINTER, 1970): Book Review(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1970-01-01) Wax, Murray L.Publication Kansas Journal of Sociology, Volume 6, Number 4 (WINTER, 1970): Front Matter(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1970-01-01)Publication TRENDS IN THE ORGANIZATION OF WORK IN THE UNITED STATES(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1970-01-01) Kershenbaum, RichardExplored in this paper are the potential effects on the American capitalist system of the latest trends in technology and the division of labor.Publication Kansas Journal of Sociology, Volume 6, Number 4 (WINTER, 1970): Book Review(Department of Sociology, University of Kansas, 1970-01-01) Ritzer, George
