The Effects Of Admission To Jail On Crime Rate In Mclean County, Illinois, Derek Conley Aug 2020

The Effects Of Admission To Jail On Crime Rate In Mclean County, Illinois, Derek Conley

Student Research – Stevenson Center

The relationship between crime and incarceration is growing in interest in the United States. The United States incarceration rate is often double or triple the rate of other Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. The hardline approach the United States has taken on crime has many citizens and academics questioning its effectiveness on achieving safer communities. Traditional theory suggests incarcerating individuals for deviant behavior reduces the crime rate through the mechanisms of incapacitation, deterrence, rehabilitation, and retribution. However, some scholars believe concentration of incarceration in neighborhoods disrupts the social fabric of the neighborhood and produces the opposite of …


Social Support, Mental Health Problems, And Rule Infractions: A Study Of Female Inmates, Suraiya H. Shammi Jul 2020

Social Support, Mental Health Problems, And Rule Infractions: A Study Of Female Inmates, Suraiya H. Shammi

Theses and Dissertations

Currently there are few studies that solely focused on female inmates and their mental health problems. There is huge lack of in-depth examination on the impact of social support variables on overall rule infractions. Using a multilevel analysis, this study analyzed the moderation effect of social support variables on rule infractions among female inmates (n=2,930) from the 2004 Survey of Inmates of State Correctional Facilities in the United States. Findings suggest that almost 55% of the sample suffered from mental health problems where female inmates with mental health problems reported significantly higher rates of minor rule infractions (78%). Also, the …

Evaluating Mike & Pike: The Relationship Trend Between Elephant Carcasses & The Illegal Trade In Endangered Elephants, Jacqueline Privett Apr 2020

Evaluating Mike & Pike: The Relationship Trend Between Elephant Carcasses & The Illegal Trade In Endangered Elephants, Jacqueline Privett

Criminal Justice Sciences

African and Asian elephants face many threats to their population numbers, including habitat loss, climate change, and interactions with humans. However, poaching and the illegal wildlife trade are the largest threats to these species. The first step in the illegal trade is taking or poaching of the elephant – typically the bulls with the largest tusks. Tusk ivory, whether African or Asian, is then exported to transit hubs in Asian countries. Final exported products, either carved or raw, enter the illegal markets located in many Asian countries and cities. Monitoring the Illegal Killing of Elephants (MIKE) and Proportion of Illegally …


Official Misconduct In Exoneration Cases Prior To 1989, Davey Rivers Apr 2020

Official Misconduct In Exoneration Cases Prior To 1989, Davey Rivers

Criminal Justice Sciences

No system is without its shortcomings, and the legal system is no different. In the instance of a wrongful conviction, appeals may be filed for further examination of the case. When an individual who was wrongly convicted is released because of an error made within the Criminal Justice System, this is called an exoneration. My research examines trends within exoneration cases containing official misconduct prior to 1989, when DNA evidence became commonly used in courts. Through data collected from the National Registry of Exonerations, I have outlined the common causes of wrongful conviction from both police officers and prosecutors. Results …

The Media’S Response To Vaping: Catch-Up For A Failed Response?, Christian Maynard Apr 2020

The Media’S Response To Vaping: Catch-Up For A Failed Response?, Christian Maynard

Honors Theses

Media coverage on vaping has become more negative and more prolific due to the recent ‘vaping epidemic’ that has incurred over 2,000 hospitalization. Research on vaping has been limited. The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlations between vape use increase and media publication increase and the specific focus of the articles. Using secondary data from Monitoring the Future: A Continuing Study of the Lifestyles and Values of Youth conducted in 2016, 2017, and 2018 and data generated through qualitative coding of The New York Times articles on vaping between 2016 and 2018, we find that media publications …

Gender Diversity, Women’S Leadership, And Consensus In State Supreme Courts, Meghan E. Leonard, Joseph V. Ross Jan 2020

Gender Diversity, Women’S Leadership, And Consensus In State Supreme Courts, Meghan E. Leonard, Joseph V. Ross

Faculty Publications – Politics and Government

In this article, we argue that the leadership of women as chief justice or the majority opinion author, as well as an increased presence of women on the panel, should increase the likelihood of unanimous decisions and the size of majority coalitions in state supreme courts. Using an original dataset of cases in three policy areas from all state supreme courts from 1990-2015, we uncover some surprising results. In some issue areas, majority coalitions are larger when a woman serves as the majority opinion author, though we see smaller coalitions when more women are on the court and a man …
