The Impact Of Concealed-Carry Laws, John J. Donohue

John Donohue

Thirty-three states have “shall-issue” laws that require law enforcement authorities to issue permits to carry concealed weapons to any qualified applicant who requests one—that is, to adults with no documented record of significant criminality or mental illness. A spirited academic debate has emerged over whether these laws are helpful or harmful. While it is fairly easy to list the possible consequences of the passage of these laws, it has not been easy to come to agreement about which effects dominate in practice. Many scholars fear that these laws will stimulate more ownership and carrying of guns, leading to adverse effects …

The Serious Leisure Frontier In Library And Informtion Science: Hobby Domains, Jenna Hartel

Jenna Hartel

Research on information behavior rarely focuses on leisure realms while favoring scholarly and professional contexts as subjects. Such is the case despite compelling evidence of the desirability and profundity of leisure in human life. This article introduces one popular form of leisure, hobbies, a potentially provocative topic for ISB scholarship. To facilitate research on information within hobbies, the article discusses two conceptual devices. Serious leisure (Stebbins, 1982) describes essential characteristics of leisure, establishes that some types are information-rich, and provides a framework to study leisure systematically. The collectivist theory of domain analysis (Hjørland and Albrechtsen, 1995) orients research to the …

Scottish Devolution: Identity And Impact And The Case Of Community Care For The Elderly, Gordon Marnoch

Gordon Marnoch

This article examines the emergent identity and impact of devolution in Scotland. Using the case of community care for the elderly, a model is set out for capturing the different interpretive perspectives evident in relation to a particular policy area in 1999–2001. The political story of the ‘free personal care’ issue, in which the Scottish Executive were unexpectedly forced into adopting a markedly different policy from the rest of the UK, is examined in some detail. Setting the episode in a broader context, four discursive thematics are identified in relation to the policy case. A model is demonstrated for examining …

Consensus, Legitimacy, And The Exercise Of Judgement In Political Deliberation, Cillian Mcbride

Cillian McBride

Deliberative Democrats have been criticised for promoting an overly consensual style of politics. Agonistic democrats argue that this is because they allow justice to displace ‘the political’ while others make the opposite charge: deliberative democrats pay insufficient attention to justice and the confrontational style of politics which may be necessary to secure social justice. I argue that the deliberative model aims at strengthening democratic legitimacy, not at producing consensus and that it is centrally concerned with stimulating the exercise of citizens’ capacity for judgement. The duty of civility should be regarded as a duty to make impartial judgements, not as …

Ultrapassando O Debate Entre Convergência E Divergência Urbanas: A Arquitetura E O Urbanismo Em Um Contexto Global, Clara Irazabal

Clara Irazabal

Alguns pesquisadores argumentam que as cidades do Terceiro e do Primeiro Mundo estão se tornando cada vez mais semelhantes. Outros discordam dessa teoria da convergência, alegando que tais similaridades são apenas superficiais. O presente trabalho sustenta que as discrepâncias entre as duas teorias são mais aparentes que reais e propõe que se aborde a convergência mais no âmbito das soluções do que no âmbito dos problemas, chamando a atenção para o papel da participação cidadã e da governança urbana em bem-sucedidas experiências em cidades tanto do Terceiro Mundo como do Primeiro Mundo. O texto também reflete sobre a arquitetura e …

Do Pruitt-Igoe Ao World Trade Center: Planejando A Ex/Implosão Do (Pos)Modernismo, Clara Irazabal

Clara Irazabal

O artigo discute, em meio a conceitos de pós-modernidade, as semelhanças na destruição de dois marcos da arquitetura moderna: o conjunto residencial Pruitt-Igoe (PI) e o World Trade Center (WTC). Argumenta que a destruição, tanto do PI como do WTC, deveu-se não apenas à questão física (no PI, uma destruição planejada pela sociedade, e no WTC, uma destruição por ela não planejada); pelo contrário, a queda de ambos os edifícios seria uma materialização do fim do pensamento modernista, do qual seriam símbolos. Contrariamente ao que foi dito a respeito do 11/09/2001, propõe que naquela hora o mundo já havia mudado …

Ciudad Y Centros Históricos. Centros Históricos Y Actores Patrimoniales, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

La problemática de los centros históricos se ha convertido en un tema de debate y discusión en el ámbito de las políticas urbanas en América Latina. Hoy, por lo menos, se trata de uno de los puntos centrales de la polémica sobre la ciudad.

Esta conversión tiene que ver, entre otros, con los siguientes tres hechos que merecen ser destacados: El deterioro que sufren las áreas históricas de las ciudades latinoamericanas es consecuencia de situaciones sociales, económicas y naturales, así como de los procesos de modernización que se desarrollan en cada uno de los países y ciudades de la región. …

Procesos De Descentralización En La Comunidad Andina, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

Desde finales de los años ochenta, los países que conforman la Comunidad Andina de Naciones buscan impulsar sus procesos de democratización y modernización y tomar como estrategia fundamental la descentralización. Tal situación es una respuesta a la crisis que viven los Estados centralistas ante el proceso de globalización y las crecientes demandas de la sociedad civil local y regional. Y esta reforma está cambiando de manera importante las estructuras estatales.

Este proceso depende, en gran medida, de la decisión política de los gobiernos, del proceso de concertación y de la adecuación de los marcos jurídicos. La adopción de los marcos …

Historie Centers: Public Imaginaries From Quito, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

In the histories centers, the most varied media and forms of communication converge (telephony, radio, television, postal service, cinema, theater, schools); they embrace the greatest concentration of socializing places (public and civic spaces); they possess the greatest accumulation of concentrated information (1ibraries, archives, buildings); they have the greatest number of symbolic manifestations (churches, monuments, squares); they contain the most diverse means of transportation (ports, railways, vehicles); and they attract multiple users.

In this context, communication plays a central role. Its defects can produce alterations in the functionality and quality of life of the population that lives in the city. But …

De La Violencia Urbana A La Convivencia Ciudadana, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

La violencia urbana se expande, cada vez con mayor fuerza, en las ciudades de la región. El incremento real de los actos delictivos y la nueva percepción de la población al respecto provocan cambios manifiestos en las urbes latinoamericanas. Allí están las transformaciones en el urbanismo (amurallamiento de la ciudad, nuevas formas de segregación residencial), en los comportamientos de la población (angustia, desamparo), en la interacción social (reducción de la ciudadanía, nuevas formas de socialización) y en la militarización de las ciudades, amén de la reducción de la calidad de vida de la población.

Según el Banco Mundial, el fallecimiento …

Conceptualizing Mediation Use By Patrol Police Officers, Christopher C. Cooper

Christopher C. Cooper Dr.

Police officers assigned to patrol duties, in America's big cities in particular, can mediate disputes to which they respond; as well as should make referrals to mediation\conflict resolution centers. When police officers employ excellent social interaction and problem solving skills, situations are de-escalated; the safety of officers and citizens alike is better insured and positive police-citizen interaction is achieved.
