A Comparison Of Adolescent Sexual Offenders And Non-Sexually Offending Juvenile Delinquents On Familial, Sexual And Social Variables, Heidi Elizabeth Nagel Jan 1996

A Comparison Of Adolescent Sexual Offenders And Non-Sexually Offending Juvenile Delinquents On Familial, Sexual And Social Variables, Heidi Elizabeth Nagel

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Adolescent sexual offenders (n = 27) were compared to non-sexually offending juvenile delinquents (n = 23) on familial, sexual and social variables. The two groups were demographically similar and did not differ significantly on a measure of perceived family environment. It was hypothesized that the two groups would be similar on familial and social variables; that is, both displaying similar levels of perceived dysfunction. It was further hypothesized that the two groups would differ significantly on measured behavioral and cognitive constructs defined as sexual deviance. Non-sexually offending juveniles obtained significantly higher levels of delinquent behaviors whereas the sexual offenders obtained …


Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design: A Comparative Analysis Of Two Las Vegas Apartment Complexes, Kim Michelle Hardy Jan 1996

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design: A Comparative Analysis Of Two Las Vegas Apartment Complexes, Kim Michelle Hardy

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Many case studies have been published that report a reduction in crime as a result of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED). Although methodologies and results of some studies have been questioned, there is agreement that the designed environment can influence human behavior; Findings in this study were generated by the analysis of two Las Vegas apartment complexes. Managers at one complex reported eliminating burglaries after providing individual gardens for their residents. My hypothesis was that the addition of gardens to existing characteristics at the study complex provided a high number of CPTED features which would result in a low …


A Case Study In Political Rhetoric: Political And Religious Cohesion In The South, Shauna S Harrington-Donnell Jan 1996

A Case Study In Political Rhetoric: Political And Religious Cohesion In The South, Shauna S Harrington-Donnell

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

This study of political and religious rhetoric questions the means by which a staunch religious individual becomes successful in the political arena. The overt religious and political rhetoric of Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR), who is also an ordained Baptist minister, is analyzed by method of textual analysis. Three speeches from different contexts are examined with the assistance of the Q.S.R. NUD.IST program for qualitative data analysis. The findings indicate that Huckabee's success in both ideological realms has occurred while using primarily three rhetorical tools to build ethos with the secular populace: self-disclosure, logic via example, and secular humor. Although, not …


Assessment And Treatment Of Domestic Violence In A Substance Abuse Setting, Carlo Defazio Jan 1996

Assessment And Treatment Of Domestic Violence In A Substance Abuse Setting, Carlo Defazio

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Domestic violence and substance abuse have come to the forefront of the public's awareness in the last decade. This document focuses on the simultaneous occurrence of these phenomena and proposes that providers reconcile any possible differences in treatment and collaborate, if not integrate services. Providers must move beyond their respective theoretical approaches and form a new transtheoretical delivery approach to treatment in order to provide the best possible outcomes for clients. Additionally, while the document assumes that substance abuse programs are offering appropriate assessment and treatment to their clients, it seeks to further heighten their awareness to issues concerning domestic …

Nameless Justice: The Case For The Routine Use Of Anonymous Juries In Criminal Trials, Nancy J. King Jan 1996

Nameless Justice: The Case For The Routine Use Of Anonymous Juries In Criminal Trials, Nancy J. King

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

We ask a lot of our jurors. The financial and emotional burdens of jury duty can be significant even in mundane cases. Deciding another's fate is often a trying ordeal, aggravated by unintelligible instructions, hostile attorneys or court personnel, miserable working conditions, and interminable delays.1 The voir dire process may require jurors to reveal intimate, embarrassing, or damning information about themselves and their families that they would not voluntarily choose to reveal.2 Confronted with allegations of violence, injury, or abuse, some jurors become traumatized or ill.3 On top of all of this jury service exposes jurors, their families, and their …


Juror Delinquency In Criminal Trials In America, 1796-1996, Nancy J. King Jan 1996

Juror Delinquency In Criminal Trials In America, 1796-1996, Nancy J. King

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

This article examines two aspects of the jury system that have attracted far less attention from scholars than from the popular press: avoidance of jury duty by some citizens, and misconduct while serving by others. Contemporary reports of juror shortages and jury dodging portray a system in crisis.' Coverage of recent high-profile cases suggests that misconduct by jurors who do serve is common. In the trial of Damian Williams and Henry Watson for the beating of Reginald Denny, a juror was kicked off for failing to deliberate; Exxon, Charles Keating, and the man accused of murdering Michael Jordan's father all …

Identity Crisis: The Charter And Forensic Dna Analysis In The Criminal Justice System, Robert E. Astroff Jan 1996

Identity Crisis: The Charter And Forensic Dna Analysis In The Criminal Justice System, Robert E. Astroff

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

Since its introduction in Canada in 1988, forensic DNA analysis has been instrumental in securing convictions in hundreds of violent crimes, from homicide to sexual assault. Until recently, however, there has been no legislative framework to regulate its use. This article examines Canada's Act to amend the Criminal Code and the Young Offenders Act (forensic DNA analysis) that received Royal Assent on July 13, 1995. It represents the first attempt by Parliament to provide legal authority for the compulsion of bodily samples as a direct response to the development of genetic testing. The principles of human genetics are outlined in …


Public Government And Regulatory Participation In Nunavut: Effective Self-Government For The Inuit, Laureen Nowlan-Card Jan 1996

Public Government And Regulatory Participation In Nunavut: Effective Self-Government For The Inuit, Laureen Nowlan-Card

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

Self-government has been a goal of the Inuit of the Eastern and Central Arctic for decades. In April 1999, the new Nunavut Territory with its own government will become a reality. As the Nunavut government is to be a public government as opposed to an ethnic government, some have argued that what has been created in Nunavut is not truly self-government. This article is a critical analysis of whether the regulatory control and legislative powers derived from the Agreement and the Nunavut Act provide the Inuit in Nunavut with effective self-government. There are three main prerequisites to making self-government a …
