This paper reports the results of a survey of attitudes toward police and police service among 273 citizens in 4 neighborhoods in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Extensive socioeconomic and personal history data were collected for all individuals. Results indicate that personal history. particularly respondents' perceptions of the way in which specific officers have related to them personally in previous encounters. is a more signijicant determinant of general attitudes towards police than were all socioeconomic variables including race and income. Results thus suggest that positive styles of policing will significantly aflect police-community relations, and that police-community relations programs stressing officer-citizen interaction in a law enforcement context will have the highest probability of success. AbStract 0 n increasing concern over police-community relations in urban a areas throughout the United States has prompted researchers in the field of criminal justice to investigate the nature of community attitudes toward police and police service. Much of the published literature derived from this research has been primarily descriptive

Analysis of a collection of lithic beads and pendants from Montserrat suggests that the Trants site may have been a prehistoric lithic bead manufacturing center specializing in camelian beads. Camelian is represented in all stages of the manufacturing process. The absence of known local sources for camelian, the relatively low proportion of finished camelian beads, the relatively high proportion of broken to unbroken bead "blanks" (indicative of breakage sustained during the manufacturing process), and the relative homogeneity of bead blanks compared to finished beads support the hypothesis of a specialized local manufacturing industry. The presence of a variety of other exotic (nonlocal) materials in finished beads and pendants, including some whose likely sources are in South America, is further evidence of long-distance trading by the early Saladoid residents of Trants. Although the S. W. Howes collection of the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, was surface-collected, the analysis presented here is consistent with more recent findings of lithic beads from excavated contexts.
