A Broken System: Error Rates In Capital Cases, 1973-1995, James S. Liebman, Jeffrey Fagan, Valerie West

Faculty Scholarship

There is a growing bipartisan consensus that flaws in America's death-penalty system have reached crisis proportions. Many fear that capital trials put people on death row who don't belong there. Others say capital appeals take too long. This report – the first statistical study ever undertaken of modern American capital appeals (4,578 of them in state capital cases between 1973 and 1995) – suggests that both claims are correct.

Capital sentences do spend a long time under judicial review. As this study documents, however, judicial review takes so long precisely because American capital sentences are so persistently and systematically fraught …

A Narrative Epistemology Of Sacred Frame Constructedness And Deconstruction: Exploratory Analyses Of Ways Of Knowing Sacred Interpretation And Understanding Through Context, Symbol/Concept, And Role, Joshua M. Aerie

Honors Papers

The purpose of this Anthropology Honors Thesis is to understand sacred construction through narrative epistemology. That is, with the help of an analytical model of framework, frame, and strip, I analyze narratives regarding incidents of disruption and incongruity within the sacred framework as a way of knowing the sacred as a social realm, constructed as dialectically different from the domain of "conventional" social cognition. Specifically, I will examine how the stories embody ideas about how the sacred framework constructs fragile interpretive frames susceptible to incidents which challenge its structural rigidity and inflexibility. These stories expose the constructedness of the sacred.

Brownfield Redevelopment And Effects On Community: A Study Of The Collinwood Neighborhood In Cleveland Ohio, Mike Wallerstein

Honors Papers

Brownfield redevelopment is seen by many, city planners, environmentalists entrepreneurs alike, as one of the best available ways to revitalize the inner city. Brownfield redevelopment appeals to the environmentalist by offering to clean up contaminated land. It appeals to entrepreneurs as a chance to acquire cheap land in a good location. It appeals to cities as a chance to aesthetically improve the urban landscape and increase tax revenues. It appears to be a bright light on the horizon of the otherwise dim realm of ecologically minded urban development.

Sex & Surveillance: Gender, Privacy & The Sexualization Of Power In Prison, Teresa A. Miller

Journal Articles

In prison, surveillance is power and power is sexualized. Sex and surveillance, therefore, are profoundly linked. Whereas numerous penal scholars from Bentham to Foucault have theorized the force inherent in the visual monitoring of prisoners, the sexualization of power and the relationship between sex and surveillance is more academically obscure. This article criticizes the failure of federal courts to consider the strong and complex relationship between sex and surveillance in analyzing the constitutionality of prison searches, specifically, cross-gender searches.

The analysis proceeds in four parts. Part One introduces the issues posed by sex and surveillance. Part Two describes the sexually …

International Trends In The Deployment Of Female Soldiers, Tom Clonan

Books/Book chapters

In this chapter I will briefly outline, by means of example and for the purpose of comparison, the integration of women in the international military. This outline is not intended to be an exhaustive history. It focuses primarily on the British and American experience since the end of the second world war. I have chosen the British and American armies as they are those armies with which the PDF has had most contact in terms of training and cultural exchange. In the first section of this chapter, I briefly examine the roles of women in a number of major and …

I will also deal with issues of representation in this …

The Deployment Of Female Personnel Within The Irish Armed Forces, Tom Clonan

Books/Book chapters

This chapter deals with the deployment of women throughout the Defence Forces over its primary (combat) and secondary (support) roles.

It is intended to examine this phenomenon through an examination of PDF policy on deployment at home and abroad, and the Defence Forces Board Report on policy for the deployment of female personnel. This documentary analysis of PDF policies is complemented by a simple analysis of deployment statistics provided by enlisted personnel section at DFHQ. These statistics are then reviewed …

Philosophy Into Practice? Community Policing Units And Domestic Violence Victim Participation, Amanda L. Robinson, Meghan S. Stroshine

Social and Cultural Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

Much research has focused on the police response to domestic violence; however, relatively little research has considered performance differences of various types of police officers. Although there has been widespread adoption of community policing by police departments across the country, it is not conclusive as to whether units with a specific community policing philosophy perform better than traditional units when handling domestic violence calls. The current study addresses this issue by analyzing the factors associated with victim participation; specifically, do officers and detectives operating under a specific community policing mandate produce higher rates of victim participation? Bivariate and multivariate analyses …

Meaningful And Effective Performance Evaluations In A Time Of Community Policing, Meghan S. Stroshine

Social and Cultural Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

It is well recognized that the success of community-policing initiatives may be dependent on a variety of organizational changes, such as decentralization, increased officer autonomy and discretion, and permanent or stable geographic assignments. What is equally important, yet often overlooked, is the importance of a revised performance evaluation system that reflects the work to be performed in a community policing atmosphere. In a community policing context, performance evaluations do far more than simply evaluate police behavior; they serve as important vehicles for increasing awareness and understanding, conveying organizational expectations, and rewarding behavior concordant with a broadened police role (Oettmeier & …

An Instrument To Assess Self-Statements During Public Speaking: Scale Development And Preliminary Psychometric Properties, Stefan G. Hofmann, Patricia Marten Dibartolo

Psychology: Faculty Publications

Public speaking is the most commonly reported fearful social situation. Although a number of contemporary theories emphasize the importance of cognitive processes in social anxiety, there is no instrument available to assess fearful thoughts experienced during public speaking. The Self-Statements During Public Speaking (SSPS) scale is a 10-item questionnaire consisting of two 5-item subscales, the Positive Self-Statements (SSPS-P) and the Negative Self-Statements subscale (SSPS-N). Four studies report on the development and the preliminary psychometric properties of this instrument.

Regulating The Interpersonal Self: Strategic Self-Regulation For Coping With Rejection Sensitivity, Ozlem Ayduk, Rodolfo Mendoza-Denton, Walter Mischel, Geraldine Downey, Philip K. Peake, Monica Rodriguez

Psychology: Faculty Publications

People high in rejection sensitivity (RS) anxiously expect rejection and are at risk for interpersonal and personal distress. Two studies examined the role of self-regulation through strategic attention deployment in moderating the link between RS and maladaptive outcomes. Self-regulation was assessed by the delay of gratification (DG) paradigm in childhood. In Study 1, preschoolers from the Stanford University community who participated in the DG paradigm were assessed 20 years later. Study 2 assessed low-income, minority middle school children on comparable measures. DG ability buffered high-RS people from interpersonal difficulties (aggression, peer rejection) and diminished well-being (e.g., low self-worth, higher drug …

The Millenium Survey, John B. Davis

Economics Faculty Research and Publications

Pryor’s Millennium Survey results need to be understood in the context of economists’ different economic models appropriate to different institutional frameworks. These variable/institutional framework subsystems in turn may be distinguished according to whether the variables involved exhibit considerable deviation from trend and whether significant institutional change is anticipated. One such subsystem, involving globalization, financial volatility, and income inequality, seems to be relatively independent of a subsystem made up of the domestic economy as a whole.

Adult Learning Theory And Reference Services: Consonances And Potentials, Jimmy Ghaphery

VCU Libraries Faculty and Staff Publications

There is long history of exchange between librarians and adult educators. This history not only points to previous successes but also highlights a tension of defining an appropriate focus within libraries for the provision of adult education. The similarities between contemporary adult education thought and reference services can provide some interesting possibilities in looking toward the future of reference in a digital age, both in terms of service and professional development.

What About Me? : The Final Question Of A Suicidal Teen, Peggy Ann Kleve

Adolescents need access to vital information on how to help a friend who is contemplating suicide. They need to be able to identify the signs and seek assistance from an understanding adult.

This research project, What About Me? The final question of a suicidal teen, was designed to determine whether reading an adolescent novel can educate teens about depression and suicide awareness. I wrote the adolescent novel so young adolescents would be able to relate to the main character and learn from her mistakes.
