During the first half of the twentieth century in most American cities the journey between home and work tended to increase. This was especially true for white collar office workers and managers whose rising incomes permitted not only purchase of new homes in the suburbs but also purchase and operation of automobiles to ease the longer journey to work. In most cases this journey took them to the Central Business District (CBD) or financial center of the city. As these …

A Study Of The Effects Of Special Rape Interview And Sensitivity Techniques Training On Police Officer's Self-Reported Attitude And Self-Reported Behavior, David John Bissell

Student Work

Rape is one of the most serious, frightening and violent of all crimes against women. Rapes occur at any hour of any day in any season. Victims find the experience painful, debasing, and emotionally disturbing. In statistical evidence published by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), it was shown that in 1974, over 55,000 forcible rapes were reported in the United States (Uniform Crime Report, 1974). According to the FBI and many criminologists, the figures relating to reported rapes are only a fraction of the actual number of rapes. Some estimates for actual rapes run 200% to 300% higher than …

Traits Attributed To Female Somatotypes, Edward C. Hill

Student Work

The subject of female somatotypes Is one which has been largely neglected. No studies to date have used the female somatotypes. This study of college students measured character traits attributed to the three different female somatotype silhouettes; endomorph, mesomorph, ectomorph. Sixty undergraduate students were asked to rate the three female somatotype silhouettes on a list of twentyfour bi-polar adjective scales. In only one case did males and females disagree significantly on what trait should be assigned to a particular body type. The subjects rated the three silhouettes differently on fourteen of the twenty-four adjectival scales. In most cases the male …

In The World But Not Of The World: A Church's Relation To Its Environment, James Earl Floyd

Student Work

Research in general and inductive research in particular often begins from an unfocused curiosity. From this perplexity, emerges the problem of research, the collecting of relevant data, and the drawing of theoretical inferences from said data. The current research enterprise includes these major problems but is, in many respects, different. That is to say, the execution is different from that which is found in "traditional patterns of investigation."
