The present study was concerned with examining the results of Florida's Use Law Program and applying these results to explore the relationship between law and social change. Five variables, which influence the results achieved by legislation passed for the purpose of creating social change, were identified and applied to Florida's Use Law Program. Six sheltered workshops that participated in Florida's Use Law Program served as the experimental group. Three sheltered workshops that did not participate in the program served as the comparison group. / In order to measure the results obtained by Florida's Use Law Program economic data were gathered for the experimental and comparison groups three years before and three years after the implementation of the program. The two-way analysis of variance was used to determine the extent of pre- post program differences. / Results revealed that there were no significant differences between the experimental and comparison groups on any of the economic measures tested. It was concluded that Florida's Use Law Program did not significantly improve the economic conditions in the participating sheltered workshops. / The results of the present study were used to make suggestions to law makers and those involved in implementing social change programs. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 42-10, Section: A, page: 4615. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1981.
