After a three-year survey of the social and behavioral sciences, a committee of the NRC has concluded that these sciences are losing out in the race for federal science funds. Between 1972 and 1978, federal support for the social and behavioral sciences fell 25 percent, while support for other areas of science rose 36 percent.
"Psychological, social and cultural studies pertaining to virtually everything that people treat as a problem in our civilization," the committee writes, "play a large role. "Paradoxically, one would think these would be times when social science research would be riding high. Yet even though governments are more than alarmed about a variety of social problems, they are inclined to deal with them by trial and (often) error. The abuse of drugs is a widely-spread concern, but governments seem to concern themselves with the qualifications of teachers and their salaries.
If we lack an adequate understanding of drug abuse and educational processes, are we flying blind attempting to deal with these behaviors.? What domains of your life could benefit from social and behavioral science research? For instance, are we concerned about crime? Consider that recent sociological research reveals that nearly half of all urban dwelling American males can expect to be arrested for some non-traffic offense during their lives. However, a very small group of career predators are responsible for a grossly disproportionate share of all crimes committed. What does this in sight suggest to you about American criminal justice and prison policies? Sociological work also shows that most criminals halt their careers by age 25 to 30. Does this finding have policy implication? If a 29-year-old burglar whose criminal career is nearly over is imprisoned for ten years, may many years of that imprisonment be wasted on expensive and unnecessary confinement?
In the third paragraph, the author uses some findings to illustrate ______.
选项
A、some achievements made in social and behavioral sciences
B、the demand for social and behavioral studies
C、the current trend in the increase of crimes
D、the inefficiency of criminal justice and prison policies
答案
B
解析
第三段旨在说明的问题阐述在该段的前两句:如果我们不了解吸毒及教育问题形成的原因(第二段所举的两个例子),在解决这些方面的问题时就会盲目行事 (flying blind);第二句是一个设问,社会科学和行为科学研究可以在哪些方面帮助我们呢?本段的其余部分举了几个例子,旨在说明:社会及行为科学的研究可以帮助我们找出犯罪的模式及本质,从而制定出改造或防止犯罪的合理方案。由此可见,这些方面的研究是不可或缺的。
