Crime In Public Housing: Clarifying Research Issues, Jeffrey A. Fagan, Tamara Dumanovsky, J. Phillip Thompson, Garth Davies
Faculty Scholarship
In recent years, crime and public housing have been closely linked in our political and popular cultures. Tragic episodes of violence have reinforced the notion that public housing is a milieu with rates of victimization and offending far greater than other locales. However, these recent developments belie the complex social and political evolution of public housing from its origins in the 1930s, through urban renewal, and into the present.
Stereotypes abound about public housing, its management, residents, and crime rates. In reality, variation is the norm, and it is these variations that affect crime. The study of crime in public …

Declining Homicide In New York City: A Tale Of Two Trends, Jeffery Fagan, Franklin E. Zimring, June Kim
Faculty Scholarship
The mass media pay plenty of attention to crime and violence in the United States, but very few of the big stories on the American crime beat can be classified as good news. The driveby shootings and carjackings that illuminate nightly news broadcasts are the opposite of good tidings. Most efforts at prevention and law enforcement seem more like reactive attempts to contain ever expanding problems rather than discernable public triumphs. In recent American history, crime rates seem to increase on the front page and moderate in obscurity.
The recent decline in homicides in New York City is an exception …
A Discovery-Oriented Process Study Of Enactment In Family Therapy: Development Of The Family Therapy Enactment Rating Scale, Elizabeth Ong-Mythuan Fong
A Discovery-Oriented Process Study Of Enactment In Family Therapy: Development Of The Family Therapy Enactment Rating Scale, Elizabeth Ong-Mythuan Fong
Psychology Theses & Dissertations
With the effectiveness of psychotherapy now well-supported in both the individual and family literatures (Garfield & Bergin, 1994), we are entering an era where questions of how and why therapy works are of interest. More specifically, there has been support and encouragement by some researchers (Rice & Greenberg, 1984; Mahrer, 1988) for the use of discovery-oriented methodologies to explore clinical phenomena that have yet to be empirically validated. The following is a discovery-oriented study of enactment, a structural family therapy intervention. The theoretical goals of enactments, their relevance to clinical practice, as well as how they are actually implemented in …

Theses and Dissertations
The problems of social-economics, culture, politics, and health, among those, are factors that influence both directly and indirectly the style of life of hundreds of thousands of people, due to the lack of economic resources, unemployment, poverty, their own culture can lead to a more serious state of health, consequently causing problems of their nutritional state, such as obesity in its varying degrees of malnutrition, in addition to the presence of preventable illnesses such as acute respiratory disease (IRA), that seriously affect the infant population. Factors, consequences, everything becomes one vicious circle that can be broken thereby preventing more deaths …

Generations Of Families: A Teaching Project And Photograph Exhibition, Carolyn P. Edwards, Kay Springate
Department of Child, Youth, and Family Studies: Faculty Publications
"Generations of Families" was a collaborative project involving university and community partners. University of Kentucky students worked with public and private local agencies, leaders, and citizens to collect, catalog, label, and display treasured family photographs of local citizens. The final product consisted of five separate displays totaling hundreds of framed or mounted photographs. The project supported the development of cross-cultural competence and professional skills by Family and Consumer Sciences students. The project achieved significant impact, as measured by community response, exit interviews, and analysis of student journals.
Oral Performances As Ritual: Animating The Invisible In Mormon Women's Miscarriage Stories, Kristin Leifson Ballif
Oral Performances As Ritual: Animating The Invisible In Mormon Women's Miscarriage Stories, Kristin Leifson Ballif
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis is comprised of ten Mormon women's miscarriage stories and it is their stories that are used as the text for my analysis. The purpose of the study is to provide a space for these women to share their experiences and to reveal their cultural values and beliefs. Because the women are all Mormon, there are some distinctive cultural and religious values that are shared within their stories and it is these aspects that are analyzed and discussed within the text.
Women need to be able to share their miscarriage stories so as to alleviate feelings of isolation and …

Turkiye'de Icgoc Ve Icgocun Isci Hareketine Etkisi, A. Icduygu, Ibrahim Sirkeci, I. Aydingun
Ibrahim Sirkeci
Bu incelemede genel olarak yapmak istediğimiz, Türkiye’deki içgöç hareketlerinin işçi sınıfı yapısına etkisini tartışmak ve bu etkinin işçi sınıfı hareketleri için olası anlamlarını irdeleyen bir ön çalışma yapmaktır. Daha özel olarak ise son yıllarda yoğunlaşan ve farklılaşan içgöç olgusunun sürekli ucuz ve örgütsüz bir emek arzı sağlayarak ülkede “parçalanmış bir işçi sınıfı” ortaya çıkarma eğilimi taşıyıp taşımadığını tartışmaya açmaktır. Ancak bir yandan bu konu üzerinde kapsamlı bir çalışmanın daha önce yapılmamış olması, diğer yandan ise bu tür konuları sağlıklı bir şekilde tartışmaya elverişli bilgilerin ve kuramsal yaklaşımların yokluğu elimizdeki bu çalışma için daha işin başından belirgin bir sınırlılığı dayatmaktadır. Bu …
Changing Dynamics Of The Migratory Regime Between Turkey And Arab Countries, A. Icduygu, Ibrahim Sirkeci
Changing Dynamics Of The Migratory Regime Between Turkey And Arab Countries, A. Icduygu, Ibrahim Sirkeci
Ibrahim Sirkeci
People from Turkey have been major participants in international migration for more than three decades. Hundreds of thousands have gone abroad since the early 1960s, particularly to Western Europe, but also, to a much lesser extent, to Australia, and later, in larger numbers than to Australia, to Arab countries, and more recently to the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). This essay discusses trends and patterns in migration from Turkey to Arab countries since the late 1960s. It relates this migratory movement to the wider context of Turkish emigration. By examining the ongoing migration ties between Turkey and the receiving Arab …
“Migrations Of Ethnic Unmixing In The New Europe, Rogers Brubaker
“Migrations Of Ethnic Unmixing In The New Europe, Rogers Brubaker
Rogers Brubaker
To the extent that ethnicity or nationality has been relevant to the study of migrations to, from or within Europe in the last century and a half, the focus has been on migration as a 'heterogenizing' process, one important consequence of which has been to introduce or increase ethnic or national heterogeneity in the receiving countries. This article addresses a different, and neglected, link between migration and ethnicity or nationality in Europe. It explores migrations of "ethnic unmixing" or "ethnic affinity."
Themes That Thread Through Society: Racism And Athletic Manifestation In The African-American Community, Keith Harrison
Themes That Thread Through Society: Racism And Athletic Manifestation In The African-American Community, Keith Harrison
Dr. C. Keith Harrison
The purpose of this article is to examine and critically analyze the impact of sport in the African-American community. This critique of the social and behavioral outcomes of sport in the African-American community will include philosophical, historical, and sociological inquiry most affecting the plight of the African-American male in academics and athletics. Data on the perceptions of contemporary African-American men participating in sport in higher education will also add more support to the conclusion that race and sport are socially constructed in society.

Ethnic And Nationalist Violence, Rogers Brubaker, David Laitin
Ethnic And Nationalist Violence, Rogers Brubaker, David Laitin
Rogers Brubaker
Work on ethnic and nationalist violence has emerged from two largely nonintersecting literatures: studies of ethnic conflict and studies of political violence. Only recently have the former begun to attend to the dynamics of violence and the latter to the dynamics of ethnicization. Since the emergent literature on ethnic violence is not structured by clearly defined theoretical oppositions, we organize our review by broad similarities of methodological approach: (a) Inductive work at various levels of aggregation seeks to identify the patterns, mechanisms, and recurrent processes implicated in ethnic violence. (b) Theory-driven work employs models of rational action drawn from international …
The Relationship Between Drug Use And Labor Supply For Young Men, Michael T. French, Gary A. Zarkin, Thomas A. Mroz, Jeremy W. Bray
The Relationship Between Drug Use And Labor Supply For Young Men, Michael T. French, Gary A. Zarkin, Thomas A. Mroz, Jeremy W. Bray
Michael T. French
This paper examines the relationship between young men's hours worked and their use of marijuana, alcohol, cigarettes, cocaine, and other drugs using cross-section data from the 1991 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA), a nationally representative survey of the U.S. noninstitutionalized population age 12 and over. Our results indicate that substance use has little effect on the number of hours worked by young men in the past month, with the exception that young men who smoked 1 to 3 marijuana joints in the last month worked 42 more hours than nonusers. To assess the robustness of our 1991 results, …

Dalla Simbologia Giuridica A Una Filosofia Giuridica E Politica Simbolica ? Ovvero Il Diritto E I Sensi, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
La prima conseguenza della nostra cultura giuridica dell'audizione che è anche cultura dell'oralità, del discorso e della scrittura (di tutto ciò che serve per parlare e fissare quello che può essere detto) è la volontaria atrofia degli altri sensi: il tatto, il gusto, l'olfatto e la vista. Il Diritto quasi non tocca le cose. Le concepisce mentalmente, le dice, però, anche se con i guanti deve toccare il corpo del delitto.
