Criminal prosecutions & trials are normal events in the life cycle of many protest efforts & often have important consequences for the struggle between social movements & their opponents. Even so, social movement & law & society scholars have neglected protest prosecutions & trials since some initial work twenty to thirty years ago. This article discusses the relevance of these legal events for issues in contemporary research & offers several hypotheses for future investigation. More generally, it argues that the study of the social control of social movements will benefit from addressing the criminal proceedings arising from political dissent. References.

The literature on environmentalism includes many more studies of environmental concern than of the public's practical support for the environmental movement. This article develops several categories of predictors of such support from the civic voluntarism model of Verba & associates. Methods. These predictors are tested with data from the 2000 General Social Survey, which included a special module of items on environmental attitudes & activities. Results. Findings generally suggest the utility of the civic voluntarism model for explaining public support for the environmental movement. Additional analysis attempts to untangle reasons for gender & racial differences in the level of this support. Conclusion. This study elucidates several predictors of practical support by the US public for the environmental movement that merit further attention. Such research should pay attention to the proper operationalization of the kind of movement participation studied here. 4 Tables, 49 References. Adapted from the source document.
