What's So Strange About Human Cloning, Radhika Rao Jan 2002

What's So Strange About Human Cloning, Radhika Rao

UC Law Journal

In this Essay, Professor Radhika Rao, explores three reasons for the popular repugnance toward human cloning and their consequences for the question whether or not there is a constitutional right to clone a human being. She argues that, although the impulse to ban human cloning may stem from the wrong reasons, human cloning may still be banned for the right reasons.

Mandating Effective Treatment For Drug Offenders, Lisa Rosenblum Jan 2002

Mandating Effective Treatment For Drug Offenders, Lisa Rosenblum

UC Law Journal

Drug offense recidivism continues to plague our overburdened criminal justice system. Increases in sentencing and incarceration rates have done little to mitigate the problem. Given the unique nature of chemical addiction, traditional penal measures have been ineffective in deterring repeat offenders. Noting the failure of incarceration, this Note proposes that treatment and rehabilitation of drug offenders are more appropriate means of reducing illegal drug use. More specifically, this Note considers as models Arizona and California Acts that mandate substituting court-supervised drug treatment and education programs for incarceration. In advancing the rehabilitative ideal, these Acts have been more successful than previous …

Are Plurals Derived Or Stored?, David Eddington, Patricia Lestrade Jan 2002

Are Plurals Derived Or Stored?, David Eddington, Patricia Lestrade

Faculty Publications

The ability to produce and comprehend human language involves at least two processes: the storage of units and the computations performed on those units. The role that storage and computation play in the processing of inflectional morphology is highly debated. At one end of the spectrum is the full storage model, which holds that all known words, whether morphologically complex or not, have separate entries in the mental lexicon (Jackendoff 1975, Manelis and Tharp 1977, Butterworth 1983, Bybee 1985, 1988, Rumelhart and McClelland 1986, McClelland 1988, Stemberger 1994, Rueckl, Mikolinski, Raveh, Miner, and Mars 1997). This position puts an enormous …

The Development Of The Tavistock And Tavistock-Inspired Group Relations Movement In Great Britain And The United States: A Comparative And Historical Perspective, Amy L. Fraher Edd Jan 2002

The Development Of The Tavistock And Tavistock-Inspired Group Relations Movement In Great Britain And The United States: A Comparative And Historical Perspective, Amy L. Fraher Edd

Dissertations

In order to gain a deeper understanding of authority, people must analyze human behavior in groups. To study these behaviors, a group relations movement was spawned approximately 60 years ago and has influenced people's thinking about leadership and authority in groups and organizations ever since. This study analyzed primary and secondary historical sources, including data from extended videotaped interviews the researcher conducted with thirteen group relations experts throughout the United States and Great Britain, as a way to reconstruct the history of a significant part of the group relations movement. These videotaped interviews are available for viewing. Specifically, the study …

Supervisor Leadership Style And Counselors' Burnout: A Comparative Study Of High School Counselors And Rehabilitation Counselors, David J. Lubofsky Edd

Dissertations

This quantitative study investigated whether the perceived leadership style of high school principals and rehabilitation supervisors had an effect on the burnout of high school and rehabilitation counselors. Demographic and work related characteristics were also assessed to determine if these factors affected burnout rates. Survey data from the three separate scales of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) were combined with demographic data to estimate a series of three regression models. The models focused on the effects of demographic, work-related and leadership variables on counselor burnout. Data were collected from 96 high school counselors and …

Aircrew Adaptive Decision Making: A Cross-Case Analysis, Constance Ann Gillan Edd Jan 2002

Aircrew Adaptive Decision Making: A Cross-Case Analysis, Constance Ann Gillan Edd

Dissertations

Although the accident rate for military aviation has declined significantly from earlier decades, during the 1990's it reached a plateau. Human error in the cockpit still accounts for over 80% of the aircraft mishaps resulting in loss of life or over one million dollars in damage. Decision error has been a contributing factor for approximately 60% of these mishaps. The purpose of this research was to investigate aircrew process performance variables as predictors of decision-making outcomes. This study was modeled on elements of previous research in naturalistic decision making. Data were collected for cross-case analysis of the role experience plays …

Factors Influencing Job Satisfaction Of Repatriated Managers, Michael A. Duoto Edd Jan 2002

Factors Influencing Job Satisfaction Of Repatriated Managers, Michael A. Duoto Edd

Dissertations

Turnover due to repatriation is an increasingly costly occurrence for multinational corporations. Understanding why repatriates decide to leave their companies upon being called back from abroad may help to devise ways in which organizations can mitigate such turnover and reduce cost in hiring and training new personnel. To that end, this study examines the impact of training and orientation programs on the job satisfaction of repatriated managers. In general the study looks at whether or not training, orientation, and family support programs have an impact on the job satisfaction of repatriated managers. The study puts forward the hypothesis that training …

Guidelines For Incorporating Crm In The First Stages Of Flight Training, Mary Ann Turney Jan 2002

Guidelines For Incorporating Crm In The First Stages Of Flight Training, Mary Ann Turney

Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research

Despite the implementation of crew resource management (CRM) training in the aviation industry, CRM skills are at best neglected and at worst ignored in the first stages of pilot training. This study, based on action research, provides guidelines for program design aimed at incorporating CRM at the initial stages of flight training. Team-based program design provides the means for the instructional staff to (a) diagnose the current level of CRM, (b) develop CRM criteria, (c) design relevant training exercises, and (d) create an implementation, assessment, and re-diagnosis plan. The goal is to close the gap between what exists and what …

Improving Recruitment And Retention Of Honors Students: Multidisciplinary Course Modules, The Grace E. Harris Leadership Institute At Virginia Commonwealth University, Kevin Allison, Deborah Brock, David Dubofsky, Donna George, Kathryn Murphy-Judy, Neil Sonenklar

GEHLI - 2026 VCUL Team Project Publications

The University of the 21st century is in the throes of a paradigm shift, breaking free of the last century's discipline-bound model of education. VCU's Strategic Plan clearly articulates this forward-thinking concept: "....to promote interdisciplinary studies within the University, to bring new perspectives to bear on complex problems, and mobilize creative energies and expertise in meeting the needs of society and individuals through its unique role as Virginia's major urban university." In addition, the Strategic Plan goes on to envision the Honors Program as a "leader for excellence in undergraduate education''. Our project utilizes the Honors Program to create interdisciplinary …

Rape Risk Reduction Materials: How Do University Students Of Color Perceive The Cultural Relevancy Of These Materials?, Anita L. Vorreyer-Hedges

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Few studies have investigated how race and ethnicity influence people's beliefs about rape, or what impact these beliefs have on what and how we teach college students in efforts to raise awareness about rape. The purpose of this study was to gain understanding of how students of color perceive the cultural relevance of materials commonly used on campuses for rape risk reduction education. Participants were African American and Hispanic students at a mid-sized state university. Focus group sessions and interviews were conducted with 23 student participants. Students reported that they found the rape risk reduction materials culturally relevant; however, other …

Good Enough For Government Work: The Constitutional Duty To Preserve Forensic Interviews Of Child Victims, Lucy S. Mcgough Jan 2002

Good Enough For Government Work: The Constitutional Duty To Preserve Forensic Interviews Of Child Victims, Lucy S. Mcgough

Law and Contemporary Problems

McGough proceeds with the confidence on the premise that a forensic interview of a child by a member of the prosecutorial team offers many opportunities for compromising the reliability of the child's remembered account. A vast volume of research data now exists that documents the conclusion that the forensic interviewing of children is a very delicate, sophisticated, and high-risk enterprise.

So Young And So Untender: Remorseless Children And The Expectations Of The Law, Martha Grace Duncan Jan 2002

So Young And So Untender: Remorseless Children And The Expectations Of The Law, Martha Grace Duncan

Faculty Articles

A nine-year-old speaks with apparent callousness as he walks by the body of the girl he has killed. A fourteen-year-old jokes about "body parts in her pocket" after bashing in her mother's head with a candlestick holder. And a fifteen-year-old laughingly names his accomplice ''Homicide" after participating in a robbery that culminated in the victim's death. Seemingly remorseless acts such as these can have a crucial impact on the way a child or adolescent fares in the juvenile justice or criminal system. Yet, when one looks closely at what the courts interpret as indicators of remorselessness -- ­taking into account …

Progressive Race Blindness: Individual Identity, Group Politics, And Reform, Darren L. Hutchinson Jan 2002

Progressive Race Blindness: Individual Identity, Group Politics, And Reform, Darren L. Hutchinson

Faculty Articles

This Article responds to the advocates of "progressive race blindness" with several critiques of their central claims. Part I examines the contours of progressive race blindness in greater detail, giving centrality to the emergence of this theory in legal scholarship. Part I sets forth the common themes articulated in progressive race blindness arguments and highlights important differences among its proponents. Part II isolates several problems with the progressive race blindness literature and demonstrates that these weaknesses make the literature unhelpful as a political or legal theory and even dangerous to the cause of antiracism. Part III offers suggestions for future …

A Counter-Pedagogy For Social Justice: Core Skills For Community Lawyering, Shin Imai Jan 2002

A Counter-Pedagogy For Social Justice: Core Skills For Community Lawyering, Shin Imai

Articles & Book Chapters

An important component of lawyering for social justice is working in communities. In addition to conventional skills, such as legal analysis and litigation, community-based lawyers need skills not taught in the mainstream curriculum. This article describes a counter-pedagogy for teaching students three core skills for community lawyering: how to collaborate with members of the community, how to acknowledge personal identity, race and emotion, and how to take a community perspective on legal problems. The author argues that these skills cannot be taught in isolation, but should be integrated into the teaching itself, including the teaching of substantive areas of the …

On Legalism, Popular Agency And "Voices Of Suffering": The Nigerian National Human Rights Commission In Context, Obiora Chinedu Okafor, Shedrack C. Agbakwa

Articles & Book Chapters

The set of standards for the evaluation of National Human Rights Commissions (NHCs) formulated and applied by the UN constitute the dominant conception of an ideal NHC. Virtually every scholar, nongovernmental organization, and governmental body that has commented on the effectiveness of NHCs shares this dominant UN-driven conception of the ideal NHC. However, this dominant conception is significantly limited, and requires fundamental enlargement and revision if the NHCs animated by its vision are to have a significantly increased transformative potential. A performance assessment study of the Nigerian National Human Rights Commission (using the more holistic vision of ideal NHC developed …
