“…As predicted by labeling theory, the sample of convicted youth were significantly more delinquent at a later age. In a study of U.S. Army companies, Hart (1978) demonstrated that the punishment of Black soldiers was stigmatizing and, in accordance with labeling theory, apparently increased subsequent offending.…”

There is an ongoing American policy debate about the appropriate legal status for psychoactive drugs. Prohibition, decriminalization, and legalization positions are all premised on assumptions about the behavioral effects of drug laws. What is actually known and not known about these effects is reviewed. Rational-choice models of legal compliance suggest that criminalization reduces use through restricted drug availability, increased drug prices, and the deterrent effect of the risk of punishment. Research on these effects illustrates the need for a more realistic perspective that acknowledges the limitations of human rationality and the importance of moral reasoning and informal social control factors. There are at least 7 different mechanisms by which the law influences drug use, some of which are unintended and counterproductive. This framework is used to explore the potential behavioral effects of decriminalization and legalization.

The lack of evidence of effective deterrence may not entirely reflect the inadequacy of the deterrence model per se but shortcomings in its application.…”

“…Other than the seminal work in the area of khaki-collar crime by Bryant (1979), few other general analyses of military crime and its prosecution may be cited (see, however, Hakeem 1946;MacCormick 1946;Blackman 1947;Bednar 1962;Kroll 1976;Crawford and Thomas 1977;Radine 1977;and Hart 1978). Even more rare is the analysis of crime in other military organizations such as the U.S. Reserves (of any of Army, Navy, Marine, or Air Force distinctions) or the U.S. National Guard.…”
