Hip-Hop And Procedural Justice: Hip-Hop Artists' Perceptions Of Criminal Justice, Howard M. Henderson
Hip-Hop And Procedural Justice: Hip-Hop Artists' Perceptions Of Criminal Justice, Howard M. Henderson
Howard M Henderson
Despite its popularity, hip-hop has remained one of the most woefully underexamined topics within criminal justice and criminology. Given the reality that hip-hop music represents lyrical expressions from criminal justice’s most overrepresented population; the aforementioned paucity is all the more perplexing. Utilizing a latent and manifest content analysis of a random sample of 200 hip-hop songs, drawn from platinum-selling albums between the years 2000 and 2010, the current study examined the manner and extent to which hip-hop artist’s portrayed the criminal justice system. The results demonstrated that law enforcement was the branch of the criminal justice system most likely to …

Overview Of The Israeli Memory Of The Palestinian Refugee Problem, Rafi Nets-Zehngut
Overview Of The Israeli Memory Of The Palestinian Refugee Problem, Rafi Nets-Zehngut
Rafi Nets-Zehngut
This article explores the way in which seven main Israeli institutions presented between 1949 and 2004 the causes for the main historical event of the Israeli-Arab/Palestinian conflict – the 1948 Palestinian exodus, which led to the creation of the Palestinian refugee problem. This is done by analyzing all the publications of three state institutions – the national Information Center, the army (IDF), and the Ministry of Education, and four Israeli-Jewish societal institutions – the research community, 1948 war veterans, NGOs, and newspapers. In addition, findings from a 2008 pubic opinion survey regarding the Israeli-Jewish memory of the exodus are presented. …

Rafi Nets-Zehngut
מאמר זה מתאר את האופן שבו מחקרים של חוקרים יהודים, מישראל ומחוץ לה, הציגו בין 1949 ל-2004 את הסיבות לעזיבת הפליטים הפלסטינים ב-1948. מתודולוגית, הממצאים מבוססים על ניתוח כל המחקרים שפורסמו במהלך תקופת המחקר כמו גם ראיונות שבוצעו עם חלק מהחוקרים. לפי הממצאים, עד לשלהי שנות ה-70 כל המחקרים של חוקרים מישראל הציגו את הנרטיב הציוני לגבי עזיבת הפלסטינים (עזיבה מרצון עקב קריאת מנהיגים ופחד). ממועד זה חל שינוי ניכר היות ורוב המחקרים של חוקרים אלו הציגו את הנרטיב הביקורתי (שבהמשך כונה לרוב "פוסט ציוני") – חלק מהפלסטינים עזבו מרצון מסיבות שונות בעוד שחלקם גורשו; ומשלהי שנות ה-80 – הרוב …
Internal And External Collective Memories Of Confclits - Israel And The 1948 Palestinian Exodus, Rafi Nets-Zehngut
Internal And External Collective Memories Of Confclits - Israel And The 1948 Palestinian Exodus, Rafi Nets-Zehngut
Rafi Nets-Zehngut
The general category of collective memory of conflicts includes several kinds of memories (e.g., official, autobiographical, and historical – of scholars) that the literature typically discusses as a unified phenomenon. This article demonstrates that each of these kinds of memory comprises two types of submemories: internal (how the holders of a sub-memory actually view the history of a conflict) and external (how they publicly express their views of that history). Empirically, the research is based on an examination of Israeli official, autobiographical, and historical memories from 1949 to 2004 concerning the causes of the 1948 Palestinian exodus. Methodologically, it uses …

The 73rd Constitution Amendment has created space for women in political participation and decision-making at the grass roots level by reserving one-third of the seats all over the country. This landmark legislation gave India the unique distinction of having more number of elected women representatives (EWRs) than the rest of the world together.

“Trends In Public And Private Investments In Agricultural R&D: Implications For Growth”, Sandeep Kumar
Sandeep Kumar Baliyan
The role of higher R&D investments in pushing Indian agriculture on higher growth trajectory is being widely recognised, however, it is all the more important to set right priorities of R&D investments with improved efficiency to gear up the economy. This article seeks to examine the recent trends in government expenditures and private R&D investments for agriculture; along with sectoral and regional priorities. Our study clearly showed that the expenditure on agricultural research which grew with an impressive rate of 6 per cent during the 1980s, slowed down to 3 per cent since the 1990s seem to be a concern …
Modeling Customer Behavior And Social Relations With Analytical Profiles, Jerzy Surma
Modeling Customer Behavior And Social Relations With Analytical Profiles, Jerzy Surma
Jerzy Surma
Contemporary companies try to build customer relationship management systems based on the customersocial relations and behavioral patterns. This is in correspondence with the current trend in marketing thatis to move from broadcast marketing operation to a one-to-one marketing. The key issue in this activity ispredicting to which products or services a particular customer was likely to respond to. In order to buildcustomer relationship management systems, companies have to learn to understand their customer inthe broader social context. The key hypothesis in this approach is that the predictors of behavior in thefuture are customers behavior patterns in the past. This is …
Regulation Of Hydraulic Fracturing Of Shale Gas Formations In The United States, Fatemeh Z. Bagheri
Regulation Of Hydraulic Fracturing Of Shale Gas Formations In The United States, Fatemeh Z. Bagheri
Fatemeh Z. Bagheri
Hydraulic fracturing has a long history and was first developed in Sweden in 1878 and was used for offshore drilling in the 1930s. The version of the hydraulic fracturing technique in existence today was first used in 1947. However, it was not commercially used until 1998 (Cummans 2012). The practice has been used in other states across the country and at almost every site that it has been introduced controversy has surrounded the prospects for pursuing the gas extraction project. Hydraulic fracturing has made it possible to extract oil and gas that were economically inaccessible and is used in areas …

Identyfikowanie I Klasyfikowanie Barier Zarządzania Wiedzą, Anna Ujwary-Gil
Anna Ujwary-Gil
Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie różnych ujęć klasyfikowania barier zarządzania wiedzą, ze szczególnym wskazaniem procesu identyfikowania barier z wykorzystaniem morfologii pola problemowego oraz metody delfickiej. Oba podejścia mogą zaowocować rozpoznaniem zbioru barier, adekwatnych do warunków funkcjonowania danej organizacji. Na podstawie przeglądu badań poszukiwano konsensusu w klasyfikowaniu barier zarządzania wiedzą w przedsiębiorstwie. Główny podział kształtuje się w oparciu o wewnętrzny (kontrolowany), bądź zewnętrzny (ograniczony stopień kontroli) charakter tych barier i określenie wpływu ich oddziaływania zarówno na przedsiębiorstwo, jak i pracowników. Autorka zaproponowała główny podział barier zarządzania wiedzą ze względu na poziom analizy wiedzy, rodzaje barier oraz proces wiedzy. W oparciu o trójwymiarowy …

Toll Booths On The Information Superhighway? Policy Metaphors In The Case Of Net Neutrality, Todd K. Hartman
Toll Booths On The Information Superhighway? Policy Metaphors In The Case Of Net Neutrality, Todd K. Hartman
Todd K. Hartman
Scholars have argued for centuries that metaphors are persuasive in politics, yet scant experimental research exists to validate these assertions. Two experiments about the issue of federally regulating the Internet were conducted to test whether metaphors confer a unique persuasive advantage relative to conventional messages. The results of these studies confirm that an apt metaphor can be a powerful tool of persuasion. Moreover, the evidence suggests that metaphor-induced persuasion works particularly well for politically unsophisticated citizens by increasing assessments of message quality. Ultimately, this research concerns how individuals make sense of politics and how policymakers can use what we know …
Decomposing The Sources Of Earnings Inequality: Assessing The Role Of Reallocation, Julia Ingrid Lane
Decomposing The Sources Of Earnings Inequality: Assessing The Role Of Reallocation, Julia Ingrid Lane
Julia Ingrid Lane
This paper exploits longitudinal employer-employee matched data from the U.S. Census Bureau to investigate the contribution of worker and firm reallocation to changes in earnings inequality within and across industries between 1992 and 2003. We find that factors that cannot be measured using standard cross-sectional data, including the entry and exit of firms and the sorting of workers across firms, are important sources of changes in earnings distributions over time. Our results also suggest that the dynamics driving changes in earnings inequality are heterogeneous across industries.
Productivity Gains And The Limits Of Tropical Ranching In Colombia, 1850-1950, Shawn Van Ausdal
Productivity Gains And The Limits Of Tropical Ranching In Colombia, 1850-1950, Shawn Van Ausdal
Shawn Van Ausdal
Contrary to the common assumption that Colombian ranchers were uninterested or unable to improve their cattle operations before the 1950s, this article provides evidence of slowly rising productivity indices from the mid-nineteenth century. These improvements were based on the diffusion of African grasses, new breeds of cattle, barbed-wire fencing, and better ranch management. However, despite such gains, Colombian ranchers failed to break into the international beef trade; their productivity levels did not rise sufficiently to compete against major exporters such as Argentina. Nonetheless, the gains they made suggest that this failure was not simply rooted in the backward and non-productive …
A New Index Of Legislative Oversight, Riccardo Pelizzo
A New Index Of Legislative Oversight, Riccardo Pelizzo
riccardo pelizzo
The purpose of this paper is to present a new index of legislative oversight. Building on the work by Stapenhurst (2011), who argued that a proper index of legislative oversight capacity should reflect not only legislatures’ internal oversight capacity but also the impact of contextual factors, we devise and propose a modified version of the Stapenhurst. The results of the empirical analyses presented in the paper sustain the claim that when properly operationalized and measured, legislative oversight capacity is a good predictor of legislative oversight effectiveness and other policy relevant results.

Willful [Color-] Blindness: The Supreme Court's Equal Protection Of Ascription, Aaron J. Shuler
Willful [Color-] Blindness: The Supreme Court's Equal Protection Of Ascription, Aaron J. Shuler
Aaron J Shuler
Rogers Smith in his "Beyond Tocqueville, Myrdal and Hartz: The Multiple Traditions in America," warns of novel legal systems reconstituting ascriptive American inequality. The post-Warren Courts' approach to Equal Protection, specifically their unwillingness to consider disparate impact and the difference between invidious and benign practices, betrays an "ironic innocence" as described by James Baldwin to a history of racial discrimination and domination, and a disavowal of a hiearchy that the Court perpetuates.
Grumpy Old Men: A Correlation Between Irritation And Intolerance For Marriage Equality, Aaron J. Shuler
Grumpy Old Men: A Correlation Between Irritation And Intolerance For Marriage Equality, Aaron J. Shuler
Aaron J Shuler
The Gay Equality Movement has made expeditious strides in the last few decades. Most progress in accepting attitudes toward homosexuals has been made in groups that are traditionally associated with liberal views toward minority groups: the young, the educated, and, to a lesser extent, women. This paper seeks to use membership in those groups as control variables to determine whether another less understood independent variable bears on tolerance. Specifically, this paper uses data from the American National Election Survey from 2008-09 and Alan Gerber’s work on the “Big Five” personality traits to determine whether irritated or less agreeable citizens are …
Contracting In Modern World, Enrico Baffi
Contracting In Modern World, Enrico Baffi
enrico baffi
In this paper I try explore some of the basic features of modern mass contracting. In my opinion, there are basically four characteristics of modern mass contracting: a)he reduced negotiations; b) the dissemination of standard form contracts; c) the presence of abusive clauses; d) and the recapitulation of the contract and its execution in a single act of stipulation. All the changes are the consequences in the changes of relative costs of activities: a) The reduction in negotiations is the result first of all of the costs that this activity requires and of the costs required to manage personalized contracts; …

His Experience: Toward A Phenomenological Understanding Of Academic Capital Formation Among Black And Latino Male Students, Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D., Collin D. Williams Jr., David Pérez Ii, Ph.D., Demetri L. Morgan
Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D.
St. John, Hu, and Fisher (2011) define academic capital formation as “social processes that build family knowledge of educational and career options and support navigation through educational systems.” The authors suggest that particular interventions, programs, and services can equip students from lower-income backgrounds and their families with knowledge of and membership in networks that ultimately help them access colleges and universities, attain postsecondary degrees, and transition into the middle class. This chapter focuses on academic capital formation among Black and Latino male students, with a particular emphasis on giving voice to their navigational experiences along various dimensions of the St. …

A Role For Policymakers In Improving The Status Of Black Male Students In U.S. Higher Education, Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D., Frank Harris Iii, Ed.D.
Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D.
Given the systemic nature of racial achievement and opportunity gaps in education and their disproportionate impact on Black men, postsecondary institutions alone cannot close them. Participation from multiple stakeholder groups is necessary. This report calls for greater involvement by federal and state policymakers, high school counselors, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA, the policymaking organization for intercollegiate athletics), community–based organizations, and other groups in ongoing efforts to improve the status of Black undergraduate men. In support of this goal, this report presents policy–relevant data from the U.S. Department of Education, U.S. Department of Justice, NCAA Federal Graduation Rates Database, and …

Attracting Black Male Students To Research Careers In Education: A Report From The Grad Prep Academy Project, Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D., Andrew C. Porter, Ph.D.
Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D.
This report is about the University of Pennsylvania’s Grad Prep Academy, a project that prepares Black undergraduate men for graduate study and research-related careers in the field of education. The project is also a longitudinal research study that enables us to analyze Black men’s trajectories from undergraduate study through graduate degree programs and eventually into their careers. Eighteen students participated in our first two cohorts of Academy Scholars. The project described in this report, as well as the recommendations we offer, can be instructive for other schools of education and a range of stakeholders who are concerned about the diversity …
