Public Service Law: Privatization’S Unexpected Offspring, Tony Prosser

Law and Contemporary Problems

What has occurred in the United Kingdom is a move toward the development of a body of legal doctrine closer to the concept of public service enshrined in other European legal systems. Prosser asserts that it has been largely due to the creation of regulators independent of government and enterprise, thus making some legal framework to structure relations inevitable.

Constitutional Approaches To Privatization: An Inquiry Into The Magnitude Of Neo-Liberal Constitutionalism, David Schneiderman

Law and Contemporary Problems

Schneiderman discusses whether constitutional rules in the state capitalist mode that redistribute property ownership more widely can survive the pressures generated by the neo-liberal model of constitutionalism. Schneiderman considers privatization programs that concern the divestiture of state assets, or denationalization through the sale of shares or assets to employees and employee associations.

Taxing The Market Citizen: Fiscal Policy And Inequality In An Age Of Privatization, Lisa Philipps

Law and Contemporary Problems

Focusing on Canada, Philipps argues that recent efforts to revise important facets of the income tax system are best understood through the lens of privatization. By promoting personal responsibility, the tax code is contributing to the erosion of the ideal of social citizenship and replacing it with a new model of market citizenship.

Liberalization And Democratization: The Forum And The Hearth In The Era Of Cosmopolitan Post-Industrial Capitalism, Sol Picciotto

Law and Contemporary Problems

Rather than the desire for economic liberalization bringing about political democratization, the struggles against autocracy have created an opening for economic liberalization. While undermining partriarchy and hierarchy, anti-authoritarian movements have also paved the way for post-industrial capitalism, with its emphasis on information management, flexible working conditions, and a global outlook.

Female Circumcision

Saudi Medical Journal

It is uncertain when female circumcision was first practiced, but it certainly preceded the founding of both Christianity and Islam. A review of past and current historical, popular and professional literature was undertaken, and 4 types of female circumcision were identified. Typically female circumcision is performed by a local village practitioner, lay person or by untrained midwives. Female genital mutilation is not accepted by any religious or medical opinion, and is a violation of human rights against helpless individuals who are unable to provide informed consent and who must therefore be protected through education and legislation. Complications of female circumcision …

On Equality, Bias Crimes, And Just Deserts, Kenneth Simons

Faculty Scholarship

In a recent article, Professors Alon Harel and Gideon Parchomovsky propose to widen the focus of criminal law beyond the culpability of the offender and the wrongdoing he commits. Criminal law, they believe, should also encompass the state's special egalitarian duty to protect the interests of the most vulnerable victims of crime. They offer this suggestion for two reasons - to give a convincing justification of bias crime legislation, which they claim a retributivist approach cannot do; and, more broadly, to remedy retributivism's supposedly inadequate attention to the interests of crime victims.

Although these egalitarian goals are worthy, the authors' …

Elizabeth Ann Seton: Model Of Contemplative Presence For The 21st Century, Jean Flannelly S.C.

Vincentian Studies

Jean Flannelly asserts that Elizabeth Seton was a mystic, although she probably would not have seen herself that way. Elizabeth’s worldview differed from ours, but she can still serve as a model for us. She was “fascinated with God” and found his presence in the Church, especially in the eucharist, in her suffering, and in people. To “gain deeper insight into her words, admonitions, and interiority,” Flanelly examines the influence of the Bible, The Imitation of Christ, the liturgy, and the writings of Francis de Sales on Elizabeth’s “religious imagination.” Flannelly also explores what Elizabeth might have us do …

Stress In Mexican-American Adolescence And Its Relations To Family Structure And Socioeconomic Status, Diana Villanueva

Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA

While previous research has demonstrated the importance of studying adolescence, few studies have explored the determinants of Mexican-American adolescent stress. Studies have shown that individual differences exist among adolescents that help determine adolescent stress. Individual differences such as family structure and socioeconomic status among Mexican-American adolescents may help to better understand adolescent stress. This study investigated incidence of Mexican-American adolescent stress in a public high school and middle school composed of 2,686 students from the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District. Data was obtained from the Teen Life Survey administered in the spring of 1998 by Dr. Israel Cuellar. The relations …
