Hoekstra aCambridge :bCambridge University Press,c2003 axii, 177p. :b: illus. ;c24 cm. aIndeks : p.171 - 177 ap.165 - 170 aIn this book, teh author looks at reactions to Supreme Court decisions in the local communities where the controversies began. She finds considerable media coverage of these cases and a highly informed local populace. While the rulings did not have a significant impact on how citizens felt about the issues in these cases, the rulings did have an important effect on how citizens felt about the Court. The evidence she uses comes from a series of two-wave panel studies conducted prior to and following the Supreme Court's decisions. It provides important insights into how the public learns about Supreme Court decisions and how support for the Court is incrementally gained and lost as it announces its decisions. 4aUnited States.
