Using Survey Data to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Anti-Abortion Legislation Presented: New Orleans, LA, Southern Political Science Association, 2007 Annual Meeting, January 2007 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: New School for Social Research Keyword(s): Abortion; Data Analysis; Data Quality/Consistency; Medicaid/Medicare; Sexual Activity; Sexual Behavior Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A number of academic and policy studies indicate that many regulations on abortion including Medicaid funding restrictions, parental involvement laws, and informed consent laws result in reductions in abortion rates. However, some are skeptical of these findings because there are some flaws with how the Alan Guttmacher Institute (AGI) and Center for Disease Control (CDC) both collect and report abortion data. Specifically the CDC relies upon states for data and as such there is little consistency in either the reporting or the collection mechanism. Furthermore some argue that infrequency of AGI data limits its usefulness to researchers. An alternative way of analyzing the impact of anti-abortion legislation would be through the use of surveys. Survey data could be especially useful in analyzing the impact of parental involvement laws since there are a number of surveys which explore the behavior and sexual activity of America's youth. Furthermore, this sort of data could reveal potential differences in the effects of parental consent and parental notification laws, a subject which has been largely ignored by the existing academic literature. Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and the Youth Risk Behavior Survey will be used in this study. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Copyright of Conference Papers -- Southern Political Science Association is the property of Southern Political Science Association and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

Mass Imprisonment and Economic Inequality Social Research 74,2 (Summer 2007): 509-532 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: New School for Social Research Keyword(s): Age and Ageing; Black Studies; Black Youth; Educational Attainment; Gender Differences; Incarceration/Jail; Life Course; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The article addresses the inequalities in U.S. incarceration rates by age, race and gender. The author shows how imprisonment has become a routine event in the life course for young African American men with less than a high school education. By positioning incarceration rates alongside group- and cohort-specific rates of other life events, the Western world contextualized the scope and social concentration of punishment in the country. The author believes that economic opportunities are reduced by incarceration. Data are from the NLSY79. |
