Programs Of Assertive Community Treatment (Pact): A Critical Review, Tomi Gomory
Programs Of Assertive Community Treatment (Pact): A Critical Review, Tomi Gomory
Tomi Gomory
Advocates of Programs of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT) make numerous claims for this intensive intervention program, including reduced hospitalization, overall cost, and clinical symptomatology, and increased client satisfaction, and vocational and social functioning. However, a reanalysis of the controlled experimental research finds no empirical support for any of these claims. Instead, there is evidence that the program is both coercive and potentially harmful. The current promotion of PACT appears to be based more on professional enthusiasm for the medical model than upon any benefit to the clients.

Young Gay Men And Suicide: A Report Of A Study Exploring The Reasons Which Young Men Give For Suicide Ideation, Ronald Macdonald, Trudi Cooper
Ronald Macdonald
This Perth study indicates that the prevalence of homophobic attitudes and the lack of support for young gay men may be important factors in the very high suicide rate among young males in Australia. The reasons some young gay men gave for their suicide attempts are outlined and other relevant literature is reviewed. This article concludes by providing youth workers with suggestions for effective suicide prevention strategies.

The Underfunded Death Penalty: Mercy As Discrimination In A Rights Based System Of Justice, Malla Pollack
The Underfunded Death Penalty: Mercy As Discrimination In A Rights Based System Of Justice, Malla Pollack
Malla Pollack
This paper suggests that the relationship between justice and mercy is dependent on the system in which they are operating. [In a rights-based system, one where discrimination is forbidden, mercy is acceptable only when it is a subset of justice. Arbitrary mercy treating like cases in unlike fashion is moral only if individuals have no "right" to equal treatment, i.e., in a duty-based system. This paper begins with moral theory: part I briefly presents other recent philosophical treatments of mercy; part II states a philosophical "Thesis," illustrates it with the leading case of Queen v. Dudley, and explains why Dudley …

Mental Health Parity: 1998 National And State Perspectives, Bruce Lubotsky Levin, Ardis Hanson, Richard Coe, Ann C. Taylor
Ardis Hanson
The federal Mental Health Parity Act of 1996 requires insurers to offer the same benefits for mental disorders and substance abuse as they would for physical disorders, including any annual or lifetime limitations and restrictions placed upon such coverage. To date, twenty states across the nation have enacted parity laws for mental health and/or substance abuse benefits. This report summarizes the essential issues facing the state of Florida in the development of state mental health parity legislation, including an examination of the experiences of other states, a look at potential benefits, and a discussion of the impact of managed care …

Black's Theory On The Behavior Of Law Revisited Iii: Law As More Or Less Governmental Social Control, Kam C. Wong
Black's Theory On The Behavior Of Law Revisited Iii: Law As More Or Less Governmental Social Control, Kam C. Wong
Kam C. Wong
In 1976 Donald Black introduced a scientific social theory on The Behavior of Law. Black defines law as “governmental social control.” In 1997, Wong restated Black’s concept of law as “more or less governmental social conrol.” Law as more or less governmental social control exists when the government endorses private social control activities or otherwise delegates social control powers to private parties. This research used Wong’s restatement of Black’s concept of law to investigate the law enforcement role and functions of the Strike Committee during the Canton-Hong Kong strike (1925-1926). It found that during the Canton-Hong Kong strike the KMT …

Towards A Redefinition Of The Role Of The Court Interpreter, Holly Mikkelson
Towards A Redefinition Of The Role Of The Court Interpreter, Holly Mikkelson
Holly Mikkelson
Various federal and state statutes in the United States define the role of the court interpreter with clear and unequivocal rules. This definition is based on the underlying principles of the U.S. legal system, which is derived from the Anglo-Saxon common-law tradition. Consequently, the distinctive features of that system, including the jury trial and the concept of adversarial proceedings, make the function of the court interpreter quite different from that of his/her counterparts in other countries. In recent years, the judiciary has made an effort to enhance the public's access to the justice system, but at the same time, the …

Exploring The Function Of The Media In Community Policing, Joanne Ziembo-Vogl
Exploring The Function Of The Media In Community Policing, Joanne Ziembo-Vogl
Joanne Ziembo-Vogl
Identified by the late, Robert Trojanowicz, as one of the 'Big Six' necessary for successful implementation and maintenance of community policing initiatives, the exact function of the media in community policing remains largely unexplored and untested. While authors of case studies have sometimes examined the degree of favorability with which community officers were portrayed in various media, none have examined media function, per se. The task of this exploratory piece istwo-fold. First, general and community policing literature are reviewed in order to identify how its champions have historically viewed the media's role in the community policing movement. The function of …

An All-Male Rape-Prevention Peer Education Program: Decreasing Fraternity Men’S Behavioral Intent To Rape., John D. Foubert, Marylu K. Mcewen
John D. Foubert
Participants were 155 fraternity men (88% White, mean age of 19.9, mostly sophomores and juniors) who were in either a pretested and posttested rape prevention program group, a posttested rape prevention program group, or an untreated control group. Significant declines in rape myth acceptance and behavioral intent to rape were shown among program participants regardless of whether they were pretested.
