Bail Agents And Bounty Hunters: Adversaries Or Allies Of The Justice System?, Brian Johnson, Greg Warchol
Bail Agents And Bounty Hunters: Adversaries Or Allies Of The Justice System?, Brian Johnson, Greg Warchol
Greg Warchol
Bounty hunters are employed by the bail industry to locate and apprehend criminal defendants who “skip” bail and, subsequently, fail to appear for court appointments. While some scholars have examined bounty hunters, this work is concerned primarily with the origins, history, and legal challenges to the industry and its practices. Popular literature on this subject has created the “myth” of the bounty hunter, but it has failed to provide an accurate portrayal of the activities these individuals perform. Through the use of field research methods, this study provides a better understanding of the role that bail agents and bounty hunters …

Risk Evaluations For The Courts: Is Service Quality A Function Of Specialization?, Kristine Botsford Mullendore, Anton Tolman
Risk Evaluations For The Courts: Is Service Quality A Function Of Specialization?, Kristine Botsford Mullendore, Anton Tolman
Kristine Botsford Mullendore
Psychologists are often asked to testify in court. However, concerns have been expressed in both the legal and psychological literatures about the quality of these services. This article presents survey results comparing the practice patterns of generally licensed psychologists with those of specialist forensic diplomates in providing risk evaluations. Results suggest that general clinicians frequently perform these evaluations, but forensic diplomates use more modern risk instruments, are more aware of the scientific literature, and provide the court with more information about the scientific basis of their testimony. The implication of these results for legal professionals, psychologist training, and practice are …

Weapons Of Mass Victimization, Radioactive Waste Shipments, And Environmental Laws: Policy Making And First Responders, Kristine Botsford Mullendore, James Ballard
Kristine Botsford Mullendore
Transnational and domestic terrorists may employ unconventional weapons of mass destruction and/or mass contamination in their future operations against governments. These asymmetrical tactics may include nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons designed to produce panic and disruption in daily life. This article addresses several of the myriad legal and practical issues relative to potential radiological weapons. Several suggestions as to local-level policy are offered and discussed. Among these suggestions are the need for local law enforcement and policy decision makers to formally recognize the potential use of radiological weapons of mass contamination and the need to develop both protection strategies for …

The Psychology Of Interrogations And False Confessions: Research And Recommendations, Melissa B. Russano
The Psychology Of Interrogations And False Confessions: Research And Recommendations, Melissa B. Russano
Melissa B. Russano, Ph.D.
Instances of wrongful conviction in North America and Great Britain have uncovered numerous cases in which an innocent suspect has provided a false confession to a crime. As a result, social scientists have studied the interrogation process in an effort to understand the factors that may lead to such false confessions. In the present article, we review what is known about the psychology of police interrogations, including critical aspects of investigative bias, coercive interrogation techniques, and vulnerabilities of the suspect that can increase the likelihood of obtaining a false confession. We also discuss a novel alternative approach to the interrogation …
Does The Effect Of Familial Disruption On Delinquency Vary According To Circumstances? An Investigation Of Interaction Effects, Christopher Kierkus, Douglas Baer
Does The Effect Of Familial Disruption On Delinquency Vary According To Circumstances? An Investigation Of Interaction Effects, Christopher Kierkus, Douglas Baer
Christopher A. Kierkus
Empirical research has shown that familial disruption is associated with delinquent behavior. Recent investigations suggest that reduced levels of attachment in non-traditional families may be responsible for this effect. However, it is not known if the impact of familial disruption varies according to familial SES or the gender of the children. Some authors have argued that the criminogenic influence is greater for boys while others have maintained that girls are more adversely influenced. Similar contradictory evidence has been reported with respect to SES. Finally, a substantial number of studies have shown that the influence of familial disruption is largely invariant …

Race And Problem Drug Use In An English City, Anita Kalunta-Crumpton
Anita Kalunta-Crumpton
t: The primary aim of this article is to look at the impact of drugs on the drug-using Black population, and in doing so, the article draws comparative attention to drug use within the White community. The article is based on a research study of problem drug users registered with a London drugs project in 2000 and 2001. During the period of fieldwork, the vast majority of clients of the drug project were male, and the gap in the sex composition of the clients was more conspicuous in the Black group. For the sake of clarity in the use of …
