The Future Of The U.S. Defense Industry, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

The U.S. defense industry is at a fork in the road and faces the prospect of substantial declines. There are two approaches that can be taken: Convert to civilian production or cut back and slim down. Conversion has a great deal of appeal, as it keeps the jobs of defense workers in place. The cut-back alternative is an austerity measure designed to maintain the financial health of the defense firms. The purpose of this paper is to provide some guidance in the selection between these two alternatives.

Establishing Practical Limits To Crime Control Through Environmental Design, Gerald Dennis Brock

Dissertations and Theses

There are myriad approaches to control crime that are currently being advocated by one group or another in contemporary American society. These range from punitive programs of incarceration to global kinds of social intervention to change societal "root causes" of crime. One of the proposals which attracted much attention in the 1960's was the crime control through environmental design perspective hinted at by persons such as Jane Jacobs and developed in detail by Oscar Newman. The idea of defensible space is straightforward: certain kinds of environmental design can have a significant deterrent effect on crime and criminals. The recent literature, …

In order to gain access to the PMN mines the victim had to climb over a pile of VS 1.6 (scatterable anti-tank mines). When he jumped down from the tank mines, he landed on three PMNs. This was inferred because three craters were found afterwards. It is thought extremely unlikely that PMNs would sympathetically detonate, so the victim’s colleagues thought it most likely that he landed with some of his weight on all three.

The Global Economy And The American Welfare State, Howard Jacob Karger

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The American social welfare state is approaching a crisis because of the global economy. Survival in a new world economy requires corporations to become more efficient, a strategy which leads to a rapidly changing technology, plant shutdowns, and industrial reorganization. To aid corporations, government often curbs taxes to make capital available for investment. These policies can lead to governmental debt, reduced welfare services, a deterioration in the infrastructure, and myriad social problems. This article investigates the effects of the global economy on the American welfare state.

The Orenco Community Plan, Chuck Beasley, Mark Becktel, Vince Chiotti, Ruth Curtis, Hong Gao, Francie Royce, Ron Skidmore, Lynne Storz

Master of Urban and Regional Planning Workshop Projects

This document was produced by the eight students in the 1991 Comprehensive Planning Workshop, the capstone of the graduate-level urban planning curriculum at Portland State University.

Each year, the workshop members help a local government with a project that it lacks the resources to do by itself. This year, the City of Hillsboro asked that a community plan be developed for the Orenco area in Washington County, Oregon. Because of Orenco's unique character, Hillsboro would like to have the guidance a community plan provides when it deals with the area.

Orenco was an incorporated city in the early years of …

Persons with disabilities represent the largest group of unemployed workers in the United States.

These programs represent the two major vocational rehabilitation delivery systems in the United States. Competitive employment outcomes were compared on the national level using data supplied by the Rehabilitation Services Administration. Employer perceptions were compared using data obtained from surveys of 446 Michigan employers. The employers' marketing expectations and perceptions of performance were …
