ABSTRACT

Social problems will ultimately be solved when people learn where to intervene in the ongoing processes of the society. They will not be solved by treating the individuai whose behavior is merely symptomatic of difficulties which transcend him and which are outside of him. Èmile Durkheim actually demonstrated that suicide rates were more stable than mortality rates. Thus, one could predici the expected number of suicides in any segment of the population with greater accuracy than one could predict the number of deaths. Orville was to remain on probation until this amount had been fully paid at the rate of ten dollars per week approximately eight months. Behavioral constraints are conveyed to the individual and enforced by a limited number of entities in the community. Alan Wilson and Robert Hardt have both reported data indicating that children from low-income families who attend schools in middle-income areas tend to approximate middle-income children in school performance and aspirations for college education.
