Occupational stress and social support were measured in adults, 15 working as telecommuters, 9 working at home, and 14 working in a company office.

Unhappily, some of the charges are true. Dangerous persons are released into the community largely through plea-bargaining, 2 but I "Plea Bargains Resolve 8 of 10 Homicide Cases," New York Times, Jan. 27, 1975, at 1; "Lower Courts Are 8ettling 80% of City Felony Cases," New York Times, Feb. 14, 1975, at 1. The thrust of these articles is that the courts are releasing dangerous offenders into the community by accepting guilty pleas to lesser offenses and then imposing minimal sentences for these offenses. The effect is to put the criminal back on the street almost immediately.
