It Takes A Library To Support Distance Learners, Marianne Buehler, Elizabeth Dopp, Kerry A. Hughes, Jennifer Thompson

Articles

Wallace Library's philosophy is to create and provide resources and services that will support all users. Consequently, distance learners and distance faculty have a plethora of online resources available to them, some of which is "pushed out," saving time and effort for the library user. The evolvement of Wallace's online resources is continuous, focused on the student or professor's research need from a geographic distance.

A Little Privacy, Please: Should We Punish Parents For Teenage Sex, Susan S. Kuo

Faculty Publications

This article addresses an alarming new development in the recent trend toward blaming parents for their children's unlawful acts: an Illinois criminal statute that holds parents accountable for the consensual sexual activities of their children. Although laws creating criminal parental responsibility are not new, teenage sexuality is not part of the usual repertoire of juvenile acts that parental responsibility laws have previously sought to deter. The State of Illinois is the sole pioneer in this yet uncharted territory, breaking new ground for the parental responsibility movement and transporting parental liability to new heights.

Other states may view the Illinois statute …

Intimate Partner Violence Among Men And Women In South Carolina, 1998, Ann L. Coker, Christina Derrick, Julia L. Lumpkin, Robert Oldendick, R H. Potter

CRVAW Faculty Journal Articles

Few studies provide population-based estimates of intimate partner violence (IPV) for men and women, especially at the state level. IPV may result in adverse health effects for victims and perpetrators (1-3). To estimate the lifetime incidence of IPV by type of violence (e.g., physical, sexual, and perceived emotional abuse) and to explore demographic correlates of reporting IPV among men and women, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control and the University of South Carolina conducted a population-based random-digit-dialed telephone survey of adults in the state. This report summarizes the results of the survey, which indicated that approximately 25% …

Perceived Conditions Of Confinement: A National Evaluation Of Juvenile Boot Camps And Traditional Facilities., Gaylene Armstrong, Doris Layton Mackenzie, Angela Gover, Ojmarrh Mitchell

Criminology and Criminal Justice Faculty Publications

In a national study of juvenile correctional facilities, the perceived environment of 22 juvenile boot camps was compared to the perceived environment of 22 traditional facilities. Self-report surveys completed by 4,121 juveniles recorded information on demographics, risk factors, and perceptions of the facility's environment. Compared to juveniles in traditional correctional facilities, boot camp residents consistently perceived the environment as significantly more controlled, active, and structured, and as having less danger from other residents. Boot camp juveniles also perceived the environment as providing more therapeutic and transitional programming. Overall, from the perspective of the juveniles, boot camps appear to provide a …

"Draconian" Yet Constitutional: The Republic Of Ireland's Offences Against The State Act (1998), Sean R. Elsbernd

UC Law SF International Law Review

On August 15, 1998, a terrorist bomb exploded in Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The 500-pound bomb, which detonated in the main marketplace of the city, killed twenty-eight people and injured more than 200 others. Following the tragedy, Ireland's Prime Minister Ahern pledged to bring those responsible to justice by making certain amendments to the Offences Against the State Act of 1939.

This Note discusses whether the Prime Minister and the government of the Republic of Ireland succeeded in this task, and if their efforts conform to the Irish Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights.

Perceptions Of Family Preservation Practitioners: A Preliminary Study, Judith C. Hilbert, Alvin Sallee, James K. Ott

Journal of Family Strengths

This exploratory, qualitative study examined practitioners' perceptions about family preservation practice. Findings reveal a wide range of identified strengths as well as the limitations of such a model. Interestingly, the most frequently identified strengths were value based rather than practice based in perspective whereas limitations were practice based. Keeping families together was the most common perceived strength but concern about children's safety by keeping the family intact was a frequently reported limitation. Further, lack of support and a lack of theoretical clarity were identified as considerable limitations. Implications suggest these practitioners (mostly child welfare/mental health workers) believe in the approach …

An Investigation Into The Impact That Witnessing Or Experiencing Childhood Violence Has On Adult Women, Jennifer Anne Hochdoerfer

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This paper examined the relation between witnessing or experiencing childhood violence and its impact on adult women’s criminal and/or violent acts, and their attitudes towards violence. It was hypothesized that women who committed criminal and/or violent acts would significantly differ in witnessing or experiencing childhood violence than those who did not commit criminal and/or violent acts. Further, it was also hypothesized that attitudes towards violence would also be positively correlated with having witnessed or experienced violence as a child. Finally, it was also hypothesized that women who committed criminal and/or violent acts would have significantly different attitudes towards violence than …

"Trapped" In Sing Sing: Transgendered Prisoners Caught In The Gender Binarism, Darren Rosenblum

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

This Article first summarizes gender, transgendered identity, and legal issues facing transgendered people to contextualize the lives of transgendered prisoners. Parts II and III explore respectively the placement and treatment issues that complicate the incarceration of the transgendered. Corrections authorities, through indifference or incompetence, foster a shockingly inhumane daily existence for transgendered prisoners. In Part V, I examine the plight of transgendered prisoners through the metaphor of the miners' canary. Transgendered prisoners signal the grave dangers facing all of us in a wide array of social structures, elucidating the apparently intractable problems of gender. This Article simultaneously explores a human …

Dowry Deaths: Proposing A Standard For Implementation Of Domestic Legislation In Accordance With Human Rights Obligations, Namratha S. Ravikant

Michigan Journal of Gender & Law

This article discusses the due diligence standard of governmental responsibility, and measures the adequacy of India's implementation of its national dowry death legislation in accordance with its international human rights obligations. India has enacted legislation designed to combat dowry violence. Although India's laws seem to follow the letter of its international human rights obligations, the country violates the spirit of human rights by lacking an actual commitment to implement this legislation. This Article demonstrates and examines India's breach of its duty of due diligence. Such a breach constitutes government complicity in condoning and perpetuating dowry deaths, which violate women's human …
