It was produced by the Arts Education Partnership, the President’s Committee on the Arts and …

Garda Diversion Of Young Offenders: An Unreasonable Threat To Due Process Rights?, Liz Cambell Jan 2005

Garda Diversion Of Young Offenders: An Unreasonable Threat To Due Process Rights?, Liz Cambell

Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies

Diversion programmes play a significant role in the field of youth justice, as an alternative to the conventional court process, which aim to prevent the entry of the child into the formal justice system. The long-established practice of diverting certain young offenders from prosecution ensures that children are not drawn into the criminal justice system and are not given a criminal record (Goldson, 2000: 35). A non-statutory diversion programme entitled the Garda Liaison Scheme was established in Ireland in 1963, which diverted less serious young offenders from prosecution (Report of the Committee Appointed to Monitor the Effectiveness of the Diversion …

Homeless Outreach Projects For Single Parent Families: What Happens To The Children?, Colleen Kasting, Sibylle Artz Jan 2005

Homeless Outreach Projects For Single Parent Families: What Happens To The Children?, Colleen Kasting, Sibylle Artz

Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies

This article provides an overview of the changing nature of family homelessness in the US and Canada, the current literature on homeless families and their children, and reports on a Canadian example of community-based research on family homelessness. This research shows that poverty, family violence, a history of abuse and problems with mental health and substance misuse are the dominant factors that contribute to family homelessness. The research also shows that the children of homeless families face grave risks, and makes explicit the need for immediate policy and practice initiatives to end family homelessness.

Perceptions Regarding Male Suicide And Preventative Services In Co. Kilkenny, Louise Butler, Jim Phelan Jan 2005

Perceptions Regarding Male Suicide And Preventative Services In Co. Kilkenny, Louise Butler, Jim Phelan

Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies

This paper examines perceptions regarding rural male suicide and the preventative services available in Co. Kilkenny to combat the problem. For every four male suicides, there is one female suicide. The problem is becoming a rural rather than an urban one. The research set out to identify gaps in services and existing policies in addressing suicide among young rural men. Data were obtained from interview with the service providers and also from focus group discussions with young rural Kilkenny men. Total participants in the focus groups were 15 young men. Limitations to this study centred around the difficulty of organising …

Living In Care: Older Persons Experiences Of Nursing Homes, Cathy Galvin, Aine De Roiste

Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies

A sample of 40 older persons, (30 female; 10 male) half of whom resided in public and half of whom resided in private nursing homes across Cork city and county participated in the study. Participants were interviewed about their experience of entering and living in nursing home care. The qualitative data yielded from the interviews identified that the majority of the sample entered into care due to poor physical or mental health. The features of residential care reported that were liked were an enhanced sense of security, the company of others and being looked after. The features of residential care …

Issue-Related Learning In A Gubernatorial Campaign : A Panel Study., Stephen C. Craig, James G. Kane, Jason Gainous Jan 2005

Issue-Related Learning In A Gubernatorial Campaign : A Panel Study., Stephen C. Craig, James G. Kane, Jason Gainous

Faculty and Staff Scholarship

This study is based on data from a three-wave telephone panel survey conducted during the 1998 governor's race in Florida. The evidence suggests that a considerable amount of issue-related learning (having to do with candidate policy stands and group endorsements) took place over the course of the general election campaign, though substantial differences were observed from one issue area to the next. Further analysis indicates that learning was especially likely to occur among voters who (a) were more knowledgeable about political affairs to start with(confirming that the so-called "knowledge gap" may be exacerbated during campaigns); (b)scored high on a measure …

Informal Rules, Transaction Costs, And The Failure Of The “Takings” Law In China, Chenglin Liu Jan 2005

Informal Rules, Transaction Costs, And The Failure Of The “Takings” Law In China, Chenglin Liu

Faculty Articles

The enforcement of China’s new takings law has failed. In the unbalanced tug-of-war between individual homeowners and deep pocketed developers, the government sided with the latter by changing zoning plans to fit commercial development, authorizing forced evictions, deploying judicial police to execute eviction orders, lowering compensation standards, instructing courts not to hear cases involving demolitions, blocking class actions, and more. Many Chinese scholars argue that lackluster enforcement can be remedied by a well-drafted property code. However, applying the New Institutional Economics’ (NIE) theory on institutions to the enforcement failure associated with the takings law draws attention to informal complaints, which …
