AB  - A multiple classification analysis was used to investigate the social-structural sources of popular division on the law & order issue. Data from the Center for Political Studies' 1970 & 1972 election surveys were used. Results revealed that (1) values were sharply defined by race, (2) elderly, farmers, the lesser educated, Republicans, white southerners, & fundamentalist Protestants displayed the most traditional, hard-line views on law & order, & (3) the widely accepted notion that Wc whites are most strongly in favor of law & order was not supported by the data. Multiple discriminant analysis was utilized to evaluate the importance of law & order as a campaign issue from 1968 to 1972. It was found that the issue did not become a pivot around which major partisan realignments could occur. 5 Tables. Modified HA.
