In Search Of A Balance Between Police Power And Privacy In The Cybercrime Treaty, D.C. Kennedy

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

Imagine that you wake up one morning, turn on your computer, and open an e-mail message with a catchy phrase in the subject line. Immediately after opening the e-mail’s attachment, your personal computer is severely damaged. Obviously having a bad day, you head to your job as an attorney for a multinational corporation. By the time you arrive at work, there has been damage to company computers across the globe. The monetary costs of the damage, coupled with the downtime, are astronomical. The CEO of your company is furious. You hope to diffuse the situation by informing your boss that …

Predicting Defection, Elmer J. Shaefer Jan 2002

Predicting Defection, Elmer J. Shaefer

University of Richmond Law Review

Eric Posner's cooperation theory of social norms develops from rational choice theory an austere and powerful explanation of why people comply with social norms. He illustrates his theory with subtle analysis of a number of legal issues. The book will help anyone influenced by law and economics to incorporate into her thinking the work in sociology, psychology, and ethics that bears on human behavior. Most readers will find applications for Posner's theory.

Signaling, Legitimacy, And Compliance: A Comment On Posner's Law And Social Norms And Criminal Law Policy, Tracey L. Meares Jan 2002

Signaling, Legitimacy, And Compliance: A Comment On Posner's Law And Social Norms And Criminal Law Policy, Tracey L. Meares

University of Richmond Law Review

Although criminal law can be justified with respect to non-utilitarian goals such as retribution, no one can deny that one way to justify criminal law is with respect to the instrumental ends of deterrence. So, one question of interest to scholars in the field has been how to think about the kinds of criminal law policy that encourage compliance. My own work has focused on this important question. Specifically, I have been concerned with the ways in which different kinds of criminal proscriptions, along with certain methods of law enforcement, could affect crime rates in disadvantaged, urban neighborhoods. In undertaking …

The Signaling Model Of Social Norms: Further Thoughts, Eric A. Posner Jan 2002

The Signaling Model Of Social Norms: Further Thoughts, Eric A. Posner

University of Richmond Law Review

One of the most notable trends in legal scholarship is the explosion of writing on social norms. Just a few years ago one might have argued that the scholarship was marginal, of interest to only a handful of law professors, but expressions of skepticism about the value of this scholarship have become rare. At the same time, it would be wrong to say that "law and social norms" ("LSN") is a movement or school within legal scholarship: the writings about this topic are too diverse, and there is little of that sense of forward movement that is characteristic of more …

The Effect Of Mechanical Vibration On Acute Power Output In The Bench Press, Brach John Poston Jan 2002

The Effect Of Mechanical Vibration On Acute Power Output In The Bench Press, Brach John Poston

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mechanical vibration on acute power output in the bench press. A total of 10 male subjects performed 3 sets of 3 reps of bench presses using a load equal to 70% one repetition maximum (1RM) on two occasions separated by 3 days. One occasion served as the experimental (vibration) condition while the other occasion served as the control (non-vibration) condition. The conditions differed due to a 30 second vibration stimulation period between bench press sets 2 and 3 in the experimental condition. The control condition incorporated a 30 second …

A Comparative Study Of The Angoff And Nedelsky Methods: Implications For Validity, Michael J. Subkoviak, Michael T. Kane, Patrick H. Duncan Jan 2002

A Comparative Study Of The Angoff And Nedelsky Methods: Implications For Validity, Michael J. Subkoviak, Michael T. Kane, Patrick H. Duncan

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

The Angoff and Nedelsky methods are two well-known procedures for setting passing scores on tests. Previous comparative studies indicate that the Nedelsky method tends to consistently set the lowest passing score relative to the Angoff and other methods. However, it cannot be concluded that the lower Nedelsky estimates are less accurate, because previous studies have not included a criterion of the "correct" passing score against which Nedelsky and other passing scores could be validated. The present paper describes an experiment in which criterion measures of the "correct" passing scores were generated and were compared for accuracy to Angoff and Nedelsky …

Collegiate Connection: A Program To Encourage The Success Of Student Participation In High School/University Dual Enrollment, Beverly Parke, Joe Nichols, Ann Souligny Brown

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

This project is a comparative exploration of academic success rates for high school students enrolled in a high school/university dual enrollment program. Four-hundred-eighty-four high school student grades in university courses were compared to grades of the general university population and university freshmen (n = 4,552) in specific courses. In several specific courses, the earned grades of high school students participating in the program were found to be significantly greater than the grades of university freshmen in matching courses. The Collegiate Connection dual enrollment program is explained in detail and suggestions for additional future research are also included.

The Jew In The Bath: Imperiled Imagination In Woolf's The Years, Maren Linett Jan 2002

The Jew In The Bath: Imperiled Imagination In Woolf's The Years, Maren Linett

Department of English Faculty Publications

Many of the earliest critical discussions of Virginia Woolf suppressed her antifascist politics and polemical feminism, charging her with elitism and a fondness for the ivory tower. In an effort to counter such a limited portrait, much “second-wave” feminist discourse since the mid-1970s has, conversely, celebrated Woolf’s progressive political views without spending sufficient energy interrogating their lacunae. In this essay I hope to join current efforts toward more nuanced inquiry into Woolf’s often conflicting and sometimes troubling political positions.1 In particular, this essay offers a corrective to a lingering critical reluctance to investigate Woolf’s antisemitism.2 Such reluctance may result in …

Development Of China’S Legal System Will Strengthen Its Mediation Programs, Deborah Chow Jan 2002

Development Of China’S Legal System Will Strengthen Its Mediation Programs, Deborah Chow

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

China’s mediation system would improve in overall fairness and effectiveness, if it developed a more just and predictable legal system. This system should be one in which its citizens and foreign businesses could confidently pursue enforcement of their rights under various Chinese laws, international norms, and international treaties. This paper will examine: (1) the roots of China’s mediation program, including discussions about the strong Confucian, Maoist, and legal influences; (2) China’s modern mediation systems; (3) weaknesses of the current mediation system; (4) the benefits for mediation through the development of China’s legal system; and (5) possible methods to aid the …
