The Perils Of Public Opinion, Deborah W. Denno

Hofstra Law Review

This article discusses the significance of Paul Robinson’s and John Darley’s book, Justice, Liability, and Blame: Community Views and the Criminal Law (“Justice”), and why the book is an excellent springboard for further research comparing community standards and legal codes. However, contrary to Justice’s conclusions, this article particularly emphasizes the perils of incorporating public opinion into the law based upon three major sources: (1) this article's own study of national and New Jersey demographic and political affiliation data, (2) the results presented in Justice, and (3) the results of public opinion research.

This article suggests that public opinion research may …

Homosexuality As Contagion: From The Well Of Loneliness To The Boy Scouts, Nancy J. Knauer

Hofstra Law Review

In the political arena, there are currently two central and competing views of homosexuality. Pro-family organizations, working from a contagion model of homosexuality, contend that homosexuality is an immoral, unhealthy, and freely chosen vice. Many pro-gay organizations espouse an identity model of homosexuality under which sexual orientation is an immutable, unchosen, and benign characteristic. Both pro-family and pro-gay organizations believe that to define homosexuality is to control its legal and political status.

This sometimes bitter debate regarding the nature of same-sex desire might seem like an exceedingly contemporary development. However, the ex-gay media blitz of 2000 represents only the latest …

Risk Factors Associated With Infant Mortality Among Very Low Birthweight Infants Of Teenage Mothers In San Bernardino County, C. Letitia Henry

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Background. Typically, infant mortality decreases as maternal age increases in teenagers. In contrast to these national data, San Bernardino County (SBC) experienced a different phenomenon in 1989-1994 among very low birthweight (VLBW) infants. The infant mortality rate (IMR) of VLBW infants born to mothers under 17 years old (283 per 1000 live births) was significantly lower than the IMR of VLBW infants born to mothers between the ages of 17-19 years old (430 per 1000 live births) (p = .02).

Purpose. The purpose of the study was to explain the discrepancy between IMRs of VLBW infants of younger teenage mothers …

A Comparison Of Social Skills In Graded And Nongraded Elementary Schools, Angela D. Caster

Student Work

Previous studies comparing the effects of graded and nongraded schools have focused on students' achievement, attitude, and mental health variables. However, social skills have not been directly compared in these instructional settings examined. The current study compared graded and nongraded school structures in relation to students' social skills. Students in four elementary schools were evaluated by the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS), as rated by themselves. It was predicted that students in nongraded schools would demonstrate better social skills. In addition, the Cooperation subscale of the SSRS was expected to be more predictive of the nongraded schools.

Law And The Biology Of Rape: Reflections On Transitions, Owen D. Jones

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

The effectiveness of the legal system in preventing rape depends, in part, on the accuracy of the model of rape behavior on which it relies. To date, most models of rape reflect the disciplinary isolation of their proponents. In this article, Professor Jones argues that integrating life science and social science perspectives on sexual aggression can improve law's model of rape behavior and further our efforts to reduce the .incidence of rape. Extending his prior work on law, biology, and sexual aggression, Professor Jones addresses both why law's model of rape behavior can usefully incorporate insights from biobehavioral science in …

Soviet Social Mentalité And Russocentrism On The Eve Of War, 1936-1941, David Brandenberger

History Faculty Publications

In January 1939, the theater critic V. Blium wrote to Stalin in despair that:

"Socialist patriotism sometimes and in some places is starting to display all the characteristics of racial nationalism... [Our people] don't understand that to beat the enemy fascist, we must under no circumstances use his weapon (racism), but a far superior weapon - internationalist socialism."¹

What had provoked such a letter? Soviet society witnessed a major ideological about-face during the mid-to-late 1930s as russocentric etatism superseded earlier internationalist slogans. Nevskii, Peter, Kutuzov and Pushkin had joined Lenin, Stalin, Molotov, Voroshilov, Frunze and Dzerzhinskii in a newly-integrated …

Ineffective Assistance Of Counsel, F. Emmit Fitzpatrick, Nialena Caravasos

Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest

As an accompaniment to the surge of litigation, we have also witnessed an increase in the claims of ineffective representation by counsel. As more and more litigants are called upon to respond to such claims, the appellate courts have been forced to delineate a basic threshold of competence. Not only is the standard by which counsel is deemed effective or ineffective constantly changing, but also decisions of the higher courts have been devoid of a guideline through which future problems may be anticipated. The review of case law below traces the evolution of both state and federal decisions during approximately …
