Changing Prison Management Strategies In Response To Voi/Tis Legislation, Susan Turner, Laura J. Hickman, Judith Greene, Terry Fain
Changing Prison Management Strategies In Response To Voi/Tis Legislation, Susan Turner, Laura J. Hickman, Judith Greene, Terry Fain
Criminology and Criminal Justice Faculty Publications and Presentations
This legislation was designed to increase the capacity of State correctional systems to confine serious and violent offenders for longer periods of time and to assure the public that these offenders would serve a substantial portion of their sentences. The VOI/TIS incentive grants provide States with funds to build or expand bed capacity in correctional facilities, temporary or permanent correctional facilities, and local jail capacity. This study examined adaptations in prison management made by State correctional agencies in response to VOI/TIS. Specifically, the study addressed the changes in management, safety and training procedures, the type and extent of programming (education, …
Desecrating The Ark: Animal Abuse And The Law's Role In Prevention, Margit Livingston
Desecrating The Ark: Animal Abuse And The Law's Role In Prevention, Margit Livingston
College of Law Faculty
In this Article, Professor Livingston examines the history and philosophy of animal cruelty laws and also surveys the scope and content of contemporary American anti-cruelty statutes. She explores, moreover, a substantial body of social science data that suggest a correlation between the commission of animal abuse and a propensity for other violent behavior. From her survey of current law, Professor Livingston concludes that lawmakers should amend animal cruelty statutes to provide for mandatory psychological treatment for youthful offenders and harsher penalties for older and habitual offenders. She observes that animal abuse as a crime not only affects the animals targeted …
The Impact Of Boot Camps And Traditional Institutions On Juvenile Residents: Perceptions, Adjustment, And Change, Doris Layton Mackenzie, David B. Wilson, Gaylene Armstrong, Angela Gover
The Impact Of Boot Camps And Traditional Institutions On Juvenile Residents: Perceptions, Adjustment, And Change, Doris Layton Mackenzie, David B. Wilson, Gaylene Armstrong, Angela Gover

Experiences of 2,668 juveniles in 26 boot camps were compared to 1,848 juveniles in 22 traditional facilities. There were no reported differences between juveniles' anxiety and depression in the two types of facilities during their first month of confinement. Overall, juveniles in boot camps perceived their environment to be more positive (i.e., therapeutic), less hostile (i.e., dangerous), and as providing less freedom (conversely more structure) than juveniles in traditional facilities. Relative to others in the same facility, youth who viewed their facility negatively experienced more stress (i.e., anxiety, depression). Scales measuring changes over time found that youth in boot camps …

Punishing Dangerousness: Cloaking Preventive Detention As Criminal Justice, Paul H. Robinson
Punishing Dangerousness: Cloaking Preventive Detention As Criminal Justice, Paul H. Robinson
All Faculty Scholarship
Laypersons have traditionally thought of the criminal justice system as being in the business of doing justice: punishing offenders for the crimes they commit. Yet during the past several decades, the justice system's focus has shifted from punishing past crimes to preventing future violations through the incarceration and control of dangerous offenders. Habitual-offender statutes, such as "three strikes" laws, authorize life sentences for repeat offenders. Jurisdictional reforms have decreased the age at which juveniles may be tried as adults. Gang membership and recruitment are now punished. "Megan's Law" statutes require community notification of convicted sex offenders. "Sexual predator" statutes provide …
The Influences Of Personal Background On Perceptions Of Juvenile Correctional Environments, Ojmarrh Mitchell, Doris Layton Mackenzie, Angela Gover, Gaylene Armstrong
The Influences Of Personal Background On Perceptions Of Juvenile Correctional Environments, Ojmarrh Mitchell, Doris Layton Mackenzie, Angela Gover, Gaylene Armstrong
Criminology and Criminal Justice Faculty Publications
This study examined whether the individual characteristics of race, sex, and education affect juvenile correctional staff's perceptions of their work environments. Prior to 1970, correctional staff were minimally educated and predominantly comprised of White males. Correctional reformers believed that employing more female, minority, and highly educated staff members would lead to more efficacious correctional environments. The existing research conducted in adult correctional facilities not only calls this belief into question, but also indicates that the hiring of nontraditional staff may have exacerbated existing internal hostilities. These research efforts uniformly examined adult correctional institutions, however. This study examined these issues in …

Cruelty To Animals: Changing Psychological, Social, And Legislative Perspectives, Frank R. Ascione, Randall Lockwood
Cruelty To Animals: Changing Psychological, Social, And Legislative Perspectives, Frank R. Ascione, Randall Lockwood
State of the Animals 2001
Society is looking for new tools and resources to employ in the efforts to combat violence, identify real or potential perpetrators at an early stage, and define actions that might predict or prevent violent behavior. Closer examination of cruelty to animals within the framework of family and societal violence offers an opportunity to explore violence outside of the traditional nature–nurture debate over the origins of aggression. Cruelty to animals represents an objectively definable behavior that occurs within a societal context. It also represents a good measure of the interaction between the behavior of which an individual is intrinsically capable and …
Horse Maiming In The English Countryside: Moral Panic, Human Deviance, And The Social Construction Of Victimhood, Roger Yates, Chris Powell, Piers Beirne
Horse Maiming In The English Countryside: Moral Panic, Human Deviance, And The Social Construction Of Victimhood, Roger Yates, Chris Powell, Piers Beirne
Department of Criminology
The societal reaction to a series of horse assaults in rural Hampshire during the 1990s was a rare example of a moral panic about crime and deviance in which animals other than humans occupy, or seemed to occupy the central role of victim. This paper explores how the nature of the relationships between humans and animals is revealed through authoritative utterances about offenders and victims by the mass media, the police, and the humans who felt they had a stake in the horses' well-being. Analysis of how and when victimhood is ascribed to animals helps to uncover the invisible assaults …

Alvin W. Gouldner And Industrial Sociology At Columbia University, James Chriss
Alvin W. Gouldner And Industrial Sociology At Columbia University, James Chriss
Sociology & Criminology Faculty Publications
Alvin W Gouldner (1920-1980) was a prolific sociologist of the post-World War II era
who spent the early part of his career (the 1950s) in the field of industrial sociology. A
case study of Gouldner's early life and career is useful insofar as it intertwines with the
development of industrial sociology as a distinct subfield within sociology. Through this
analysis we are also better able to understand how and in what ways a burgeoning
organizational studies program developed at Columbia University during the 1940s. This
analysis of the historical and cultural contexts within which Gouldner came to prominence
as an …
