The Benevolent Paternalism Of Japanese Criminal Justice, Daniel H. Foote

Articles

Models for a criminal-justice system based on an ethos of rehabilitation and reintegration-such as Llewellyn's "parental" and Griffiths' "family" models-have been regarded as idealistic but unworkable in the real world, except perhaps in totalitarian or primitive societies. Professor Foote, however, has found in Japan just such a model, which he labels "benevolent paternalism." The Japanese criminal-justice system is benevolent in that its goal is to achieve reformation and reintegration into society through lenient sanctions tailored to the offender's particular circumstances. The system is paternalism in that it allows substantial discretion to the state in both gathering and using information about …

Identification Of Violence In Psychiatric Case Presentations, Edward W. Gondolf, Joyce Mcwilliams

Clinical Sociology Review

Previous research on medical discourse suggests that physicians minimize patients' social problems through conversational and linguistic interactions. There has been little assessment, however, of the neglect of violence by psychiatric staff. In an attempt to address this important area, the case presentations of 77 recently violent psychiatric patients were examined. A contextual analysis of the violence mentioned during the case presentations revealed four categories of identification violence as part of the primary problem, as a psychiatric disorder, as an unrelated incident, or not mentioned at all In nearly two-thirds of the case presentations, the violence was not identified as part …

A Cross-Cultural Study Of The Collectivism-Individualism Paradigm: The Influence Of Confucian Values On The Conflict-Handling Behavior Of Male Graduate Business Students In Hong Kong And The United States, Randy Ki-Kwan Chiu

Dissertations

Problem. The Collectivism-Individualism literature argues that there is a difference in the way that Americans and the Chinese handle conflict based on differences in culture. It is also speculated that these differences have been influenced by Confucian values. However, these positions have not been conclusively supported by empirical findings.

Method. Both the Chinese Value Survey and Thomas and Kilmann's Management-of-Differences Exercise were administered to 124 U.S. White American graduate business students and 142 Hong Kong Chinese graduate business students. Three null hypotheses were formulated. These hypotheses stated that there is no linear combination of Integration, Human-heartedness, Confucian work dynamism, and …

Rouge Et Noir Reread: A Popular Constitutional History Of The Angelo Herndon Case, Kendall Thomas

Faculty Scholarship

In 1932, Eugene Angelo Braxton Hemdon, a young Afro-American member of the Communist Party, U.S.A., was arrested in Atlanta and charged with an attempt to incite insurrection against that state's lawful authority. Some five years later, in Herndon v. Lowry, Herndon filed a writ of habeas corpus asking the U.S. Supreme Court to consider the constitutionality of the Georgia statute under which he had been convicted. Two weeks before his twenty-fourth birthday, the Court, voting 5-4, declared the use of the Georgia political-crimes statute against him unconstitutional on the grounds that it deprived Herndon of his rights to freedom …

Social Identity, Social Change And The Construction Of Symbolic Boundaries In A West Highland Settlement, Angus Macleod

Other Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business Theses

In the last thirty years there have been very few systematic observations and analyses of everyday life at a local level. (see Bell and Newby, 1972) As a result our knowledge of local sub-cultures is seriously outdated (E. S. R. C., 1982,13) and we are not maintaining an up to date social history of our own times. However, Bulmer, in an article entitled "The Rejuvenation of Community Studies? " (1985) and Willmott (1986) have both identified "some sign that the study of localities is being revived". (Bulmer, 1985,433) This thesis, a sociological account of contemporary rural life in part of …

Death At The Hands Of Persons Unknown: The Geography Of Lynching In The Deep South, 1882 To 1910., Mary Elizabeth Hines

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This research explores the county-level lynching record of four Deep South states--Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi--to discover the spatial and temporal distribution of lynching within the region and its relationship to social and economic conditions. The period of 1882 to 1910 is selected because lynching reached its highest levels in those decades. Demographic and economic variables from the United States censuses characterize Deep South counties as urban or rural and rich or poor. The physiography and historical attributes of counties are also considered. The research objective is to improve understanding of lynching in the postbellum Deep South through geographic analysis. …

The Social Construction Of Abortion, Alexis Lora Ruffin

Theses and Dissertations

The essential socio-political question abortion raises is twofold: within whose legitimate province is the abortion decision to be made and what are the salient factors in determining subsequent resolutions over access. The answers speak to perceptions of legitimate authority, which are fundamental to the social construction of abortion.

The disparate literature on abortion was examined to develop a typology of perspectives on abortion. Theories from feminist sociology and social psychology were employed to examine the impact abortion access and the subsequent negotiation over legitimate authority have on the social order. The underlying hypothesis of this research is that abortion is …

Accounting To Ourselves For Ourselves: An Analysis Of Adjudication In The Resolution Of Child Custody Disputes, Francis J. Catania

Nebraska Law Review

This article begins with an analysis of the adjudicatory process as it is currently used in post-divorce child custody determinations. Following is a practical illustration of the way the adjudicatory process unfolds in a child custody case. An analysis of non-adjudicatory dispute resolution—specifically a negotiatory process—for child custody cases is then given, and the article concludes after a proposal for a negotiatory process that uses the primary caretaker presumption and an impasse procedure known as Final Offer Selection.
