Corrections In Transition, Myrl E. Alexander

Nebraska Law Review

Imprisonment, as it is used today in this country and in others throughout the world, began as an experiment in punishment and reformation less than 200 years ago. It is still an experiment, and, unfortunately, it will remain an experiment for a long time to come. As a means of punishment and as an instrument with which to change criminal behavior, imprisonment still is a failure when it must be acknowledged that even among the best correctional institutions at least thirty per cent of their inmates become repeaters. Why is this so? Is it that prisons and other correctional institutions, …

What Is Wrong With The Prison System?, Nathan Leopold

Nebraska Law Review

The prisons of today are a failure, for they are not effective instruments of rehabilitation of their inmates. To remedy this failure requires a complete revision of our penal philosophy and a firm adherence to rehabilitation as the only function to be served.

A Preface, Roman L. Hruska

Nebraska Law Review

This symposium [A Symposium on Prisons and Correctional Law (Part I)] sponsored by the law college is most timely, as new attention is being given to what lies beyond once an offender is brought to justice. Punishment, control, rehabilitation, more diversified facilities, better-trained staffs, wider range of inmate programs, collaboration with other institutions, community employment or training, and more are included.

A Legislative Approach To The Fourth Amendment, E. John Stanley

Nebraska Law Review

Legislatures of several states have recently expressed an unprecedented interest in the fourth amendment of the United States Constitution' by enacting statutes governing police and court procedures for search and seizure problems. Nebraska, following the lead of these states, has completely rewritten its search and seizure statutes. Nearly all of the Nebraska statutes are adaptations of statutes which have originated in other states. The fact that Nebraska, a state with few metropolitan areas and a resulting low per capita crime rate, has enacted these statutes, when the apparent need for them is slight, suggests that the motivation for their passage …

Nebraska Law Review

Part I of the symposium "The Tasks of Penology: A Symposium on Prisons and Correctional Law" was intended to provide the reader with a general background in the theories and aims of our modern correctional system. These concepts have been constantly changing throughout the history of penology. If there is one "task" upon which there is mutual agreement, it would be rehabilitation, but the question still remains: How do you rehabilitate? There has been a growing realization that modifications have to be made in the traditional penitentiary system to accomplish this goal. It has also been recognized that aspects of …

Development And Accomplishments Of Sentencing Institutes In The Federal Judicial System, Luther W. Youngdahl

Nebraska Law Review

The judges of the United States courts long have been concerned with the improvement of the administration of criminal justice in the federal courts. Over the years one problem in particular—the wide-spread differences in sentencing philosophies and practices—has eluded solution. Deliberations of the Judicial Conference of Senior Circuit Judges jointly with the Committee on the Administration of the Criminal Law of the Judicial Conference of the United States gave rise to a proposal for legislation to permit the establishment of institutes and joint councils on sentencing. Legislation (H.R.J. Res. 424) was approved by the President on August 25, 1958, as …

The “Used In The Automobile Business” Exclusion Of The Standard Family Automobile Policy, Robert S. Lingo

Nebraska Law Review

One of the painful results of the ownership of an automobile is the recurring need to take it to a service station or garage for repairs. After such repairs are completed, an employee of the garage will often test drive the automobile to check the completed repairs. While on such an errand, the serviceman may become involved in an automobile accident in which he is at fault.

Industrial Espionage—Nebraska’S New Felony, Jeffrey L. Orr

Nebraska Law Review

In accordance with Nebraska's "open-door policy" toward industry, the Nebraska Legislature passed an act in 1965 which made the theft of a trade secret a felony. The act is an amalgamation of the New York and New Jersey acts. The question toward which this article is directed is whether established civil remedies, coupled with the added criminal sanctions, afford adequate protection for industrial trade secrets in Nebraska. It is therefore necessary to briefly discuss the battery of common law civil remedies before considering the effects of the new legislative provisions.

The University’S Role In Prison Eduction, Delyte W. Morris

Nebraska Law Review

For thirteen years Southern Illinois University has had an association with the Illinois State Penitentiary at Menard, Illinois, which has been rewarding and useful for both institutions. This article deals with the educational and rehabilitational aspects of this association. First, we look briefly at the historical development of education in prison programs. Second, we outline the specific growth of educational services by Southern Illinois University at Menard and the United States Penitentiary at Marion, Illinois. Third, we examine the influences of this growth on thinking, planning, research, and applications of prison education by the university locally and, by extension of …

International Concern With Crime And Corrections, Frank Loveland

Nebraska Law Review

International concern with crime and corrections is not a recent phenomenon. The first International Penal and Penitentiary Congress (IPPC) was held in London in 1872. When the United Nations was established, it was decided that its role should include a program for the prevention of crime and treatment of offenders. The IPPC at the time of its last Congress, held at The Hague in 1950, agreed to the transfer of its functions to the United Nations. The first of the quinquennial Congresses on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders was held in Geneva in 1955, the second …

Nebraska Law Review

This issue of the Nebraska Law Review contains the third and final part of the symposium "The Tasks of Penology." In the symposium we attempted to give our readers an overall view of the latest thinking in the area of criminal corrections. Most of the articles in this issue do not deal at any great length with the prison itself. The programs and concepts now in vogue are "beyond the walls." It is appropriate that these last contributions to the discussion seem to voice a common proposal: emergence.

The Emergence Of Correctional Law And The Awareness Of The Rights Of The Convicted, Eugene N. Barkin

Nebraska Law Review

The administration of criminal justice consists of four major areas: the arrest and charge of the commission of the offense; the trial and appeal; the disposition after a verdict of guilty; and finally the implementation of the judgment. Criminal law has traditionally been treated lightly by most law schools, practicing lawyers, and even the bench. And the most neglected area of this neglected field of law has related to the disposition of the offender's case; that is, sentencing and his rights thereafter. The purpose of this brief discussion is to promote awareness of the myriad of complex legal and human …

Analog Plotting System For Recording Energy Spectra Of Low Energy Charged Particles, M. Eugene Rudd

M. Eugene Rudd Publications

During recent measurements of energy spectra of electrons emitted from gases under positive ion bombardment an analyzing and plotting system was developed which has some unique features. Utilizing an electrostatic analyzer, it sweeps over the desired energy range and plots a graph directly in electron volts. With suitable modifications it could also be used for positive ions. Energies from near 0 to about 1000 eV have been plotted but this range could be extended. Usable graphs have been obtained at counting rates as low as 3 counts/sec.
Compensation is provided for fluctuations in the signal due to slow or rapid …

Electron Energy Spectrum From Ar+-Ar And H+-Ar Collisions, M. Eugene Rudd, T. Jorgensen Jr., D. J. Volz

M. Eugene Rudd Publications

Absolute differential cross sections have been measured for the ejection of electrons of various energies at 160° by argon ions and protons striking argon gas as a target. The observed energy spectrum consists of a number of "lines" or peaks superimposed on a continuous spectrum. The fine-structure regions occur below 20 eV and from about 120 to 220 eV for both projectiles. A number of lines are identified with auto-ionization transitions from neutral states and with Auger transitions from one- and two-vacancy states. With argon ions each peak has a "Doppler"-shifted counterpart due to electrons emitted from the moving particles. …

Inheritance Of Behavioral Characters In F2 Mallard X Pintail (Anas Platyrhynchos L. X Anas Acutas L.) Hybrids, Roger S. Sharpe, Paul A. Johnsgard

Paul Johnsgard Collection

The present study was undertaken to compare the inheritance of behavioral and morphological features of two closely related species of Anas, and to attempt to establish whether any significant degree of behavioral variation occurs in the second generation which could be attributed to these genetic processes.

Two closely related species of Anas, the Common Mallard (A. p. platyrhynchos) and the Common Pintail (A. a. acuta), were selected for study. Both species have been repeatedly hybridized in captivity (GRAY, 1958; PHILLIPS, 1915, 1921), and occasionally hybrids occur in the wild. MAYR (1963) has commented on the …

Genetic And Biochemical Aspects Of O-Hydroxycinnamic Acid Synthesis In Melilotus Alba, Herman J. Gorz, Francis A. Haskins, A. Kleinhofs

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

In sweetclover (Melilotus alba Desr.) the cis- and trans-isomers of o-hydroxycinnamic acid occur primarily as the respective, β-D-glucosides. Available evidence indicates that these glucosides are formed via the following pathway: phenylalanine (formed from shikimic acid) → trans-cinnamic acid → o-coumaric acid (trans-o-hydroxycinnamic acid) → o-coumaryl glucoside (trans-β-D-glucosyl-o-hydroxycinnamic acid) → coumarinyl glucoside (cis-β-D-glucosyl-o-hydroxycinnamic acid). In tissues that are disrupted, coumarinyl glucoside is rapidly hydrolyzed by the action of endogenous β-glucosidase to yield coumarinic acid, which lactonizes spontaneously to form coumarin. The cu …

Analysis Of Pesticide Residues By Polarography, Raymond J. Gajan

United States Food and Drug Administration: Publications

Polarography is a rapid, sensitive, and relatively specific technique that can be applied to pesticide residue analysis. The technique should also prove a valuable tool in overall pesticide research, such as monitoring new columns, studying kinetics, identifying and determining metabolites, assaying primary pesticide standards, and conducting stability studies.
