An Analysis Of Bail Setting And Jail Capacity, Barbara J. Illsley

Student Work

According to the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice, more than one-half of the defendants brought into a magistrate's court are released or convicted and sentenced within twenty-four hours of their arrest. The rest await final disposition for days, weeks, sometimes months. Bail is recognized by law for the sole purpose of assuring the defendant's appearance at trial, yet it is commonly used as a means of keeping what the judge determines as potentially dangerous defendants in jail. In a great number of cases this procedure is ineffective. Professional criminals, criminals connected with organized crime generally …

An Evaluative Study To Determine The Impact Of The 1972 Court Reorganization On Criminal Case Processing Speed In The Lower Courts Of Douglas County, Nebraska, Patrick J. Ortmeir

Student Work

"The courts are the pivot on which the criminal justice system turns" (Winslow, 1968:289). The criminal court is the central, crucial institution n the criminal justice system (President's Crime Commission Report, 1967:125). As the famous jurist Arthur T. Vanderbilt put it: It is in the courts and not in the legislature that our citizens primarily feel the keen cutting edge of the law. If they have respect for the work of the courts, their respect for law will survive the shortcomings of every other branch of government; but it they lose their respect for the work of the courts, their …

The Relationship Between Attitudes Toward Women And The Motive To Avoid Success, Rebecca A. Fahrlander

Student Work

Although a considerable body of knowledge had been developed on the motive to achieve and the motive to avoid failure (Atkinson, 1953, 1964; McClelland, 1953, 1961; Veroff et al., 1953), the motive to avoid success did not receive much attention until Matina Homer began her work in 1965 (Horner, 1968, 1971; Tresemer, 1974). Since 1965, several other studies (Hoffman, 1974; Feather and Raphelson, 1974; Levine and Crumrine, 1975) have focused on the prevalence and consequences of fear of success, but their results have left several questions unanswered.

A Descriptive Study Of The Listening Skills Of Chief Probation Officers For The State Of Nebraska, Patricia A. Crosby

Student Work

Twenty years ago the place of listening in our educational system was neglected. Instruction in listening skills, even at the college level, was virtually nonexistent. Today, at all educational levels, training in listening is "coming of age." Listening is beginning to be recognized as an area of important communication skills. More important, it is being considered as fundamental skills which can and must be taught.

Proactive Weaponry Planning: A Systemic Policy Formulation Model For Law Enforcement Agencies, Kevin Parsons

Student Work

Proactive Weaponry Planning: A Systemic Policy Formulation Model for Law Enforcement Agencies deals with the process through which taxonomies of criteria maybe developed to designate effective weaponry to be utilized in a variety of law enforcement confrontations.

An alternative paradigm termed proactive weaponry planning (PWP) in which criteria definition predates weaponry analysis is then postulated. Proactive weaponry planning is a five-phase open systems perspective which initially incorporates a delineated agency role model based upon extra-agency and inter-departmental multiple access channels of communication. Weaponry criteria are seen …

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 …
