ArticlePublisher: 2001American Political Science Review 95, 1, p. 115-131Abstract: Although empirical studies have conclude that political leaders in democratic system often respond to mass unrest by expanding the welfare state, most of this research falis to explain adequately why the state response as it does. I test the validity of pluralist and social control theories of state response by examining black insurgency in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s. Using pooled time-series analysis, I estimate the realionship between state AFDC recipient rates, state incarceration rates, and black political violence, testing a series of specific hypotheses that distinguish between these two competing theories. The results lend much support to the social control characteriztion of state response and mey help explain trends in welfare and cirminal justice policeis over the las two decades
