This article uses Pennsylvania's sentencing guidelines as an example to illustrate the value of a symbolic interactionist framework known as the processual order approach for research on policy in general and sentencing guidelines policy in particular. I first discuss some general characteristics and dilemmas of courts and sentencing policy, and then review the processual order approach. Next, I discuss national and state-level processes that led to the development and enactment of Pennsylvania's sentencing guidelines, and then summarize findings from research on local court contexts, case processing, and sentencing under guidelines. I conclude with five processual order propositions to guide research on the interrelationships between contexts, activities, and consequences surrounding the development and implementation of policy, and suggest some diverse and ambitious topics to which these propositions could be applied.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":84178,"journal":{"name":"Applied behavioral science review","volume":"5 1","pages":"Pages 81-100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1068-8595(97)80008-6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56459491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data from a sample of 995 subjects who reported ever using hallucinogens, the effects of three separate measures of peer support on three different measures of perceptions of adverse effects as consequences of initial drug use were estimated in logistic regression models, controlling for demographic background characteristics of race/ethnicity, father's education, and a tendency to over-endorse statements. The results of these analyses show partial support for Becker's hypothesis in one model predicting perceptions of adverse psychological effects. Subjective distress interacts with peer support to predict reports of psychological effects. Subjects who report subjective distress and who report initiating drug use because their friends were doing it are significantly less likely to report adverse psychological effects of drug use. Additionally, differences in perceptions of unpleasant effects from initial drug use were found across racial/ethnic categories.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":84178,"journal":{"name":"Applied behavioral science review","volume":"5 2","pages":"Pages 219-230"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1068-8595(97)80016-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56459619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
