The Scientific Study Of Judicial Activism, Stefanie A. Lindquist, Frank B. Cross
The Scientific Study Of Judicial Activism, Stefanie A. Lindquist, Frank B. Cross
Scholarship@WashULaw
Claims of judicial activism are common, from both the right and the left, but they are seldom scrutinized closely. Prior tests of judicial activism have involved simply counting the number of cases in which justices vote to invalidate statutes. This data provides a rough guide but omits any consideration of the judicial legitimacy of the statute - a decision to strike down a plainly unconstitutional statute is appropriate judicial behavior. To provide a better test, we adjust the count of statutory invalidations for each justice of the Burger Court, based upon the degree to which the votes show a consistent …
Social Impact: Scattered Image, Rick Skwiot
Social Impact: Scattered Image, Rick Skwiot
Social Impact Publication
Most inside the social work profession agree that it has an image problem, which affects recruitment, pay, status, funding, and social influence. But they often disagree on who is a social worker, what the term "social work" means, whether to re-brand or scrap the term, who ought to do it, and what the image problem really is. Whatever it may be, it causes at least one social work school dean to worry "a lot" and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) to launch a multi-year campaign to change the image.

Mythos, Logos And The Poltics Of Justice, Dr. Dennis Patrick Slattery Ph.D.
Verbum Incarnatum: An Academic Journal of Social Justice
United States Politics and Social Justice are forms that a mythology assumes in a culture. The former has lost sight of its earlier sustaining mythos: an image of Paradise. It has also become unconscious of the earlier writings of Plato and Aristotle on the nature and structure of a virtuous society ruled by leaders of wisdom. By revisioning earlier epistemologies outlined by the ancient Greek philosophers, politics and social justice movements can reclaim their origins. The conclusion outlines a series of 13 differentiations between US. politics and the currents of social justice. For men are easily spoilt; not everyone can …

An Examination Of Social Justice And U.S Politics Among Mexican Americans: The Role Of Education In Political Participation, Mark S. Teachout Ph.D, Andrea E. Berndt Ph.D., Andrew C. Hernandez
Verbum Incarnatum: An Academic Journal of Social Justice
The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions and behaviors of Mexican Americans toward social justice issues in a political context, as a function of educational attainment. Based on the premise set forth by Boakari (2006), we expected those with a higher level of educational attainment would reflect both perceptions and behaviors that represent a more socially aware and participative citizen within a political context. Results were significant for all analyses, indicating that participants with a higher level of educational attainment had perceptions and self-reported behaviors more congruent with social justice issues in a political context, compared to …

The War On Terror- Or The Terror That Leads To War, Dr. Patrick T. Mccormick Ph.D.
Verbum Incarnatum: An Academic Journal of Social Justice
The most avowedly religious and Christian of all the developed nations, America is also a country perennially ready to answer the call to arms, disproportionately disposed to wage war against other nations and a wide range of social ills, and habituated to justifying these crusades and campaigns by casting them as part of some cosmic battle against the forces of evil and sin. An apocalyptic strain, which has long shaped America's religious imagination, is often used to mobilize an unreasonably frightened public into unnecessary and counterproductive "wars" and to demonize internal or external groups so as to justify violations and …

This paper reports preliminary findings from a study on financial behaviors of college students. Objectives of the study are to identify factors associated with financial behaviors and to examine associations between financial behavior and quality of life of the students surveyed. Results of bivariate analyses show that frequencies of performing positive financial behaviors are associated with many factors, such as attitude toward performing the behavior, perceived control, parental influence, peer influence, class standing, etc. In addition, performing desirable financial behaviors is positively associated with financial satisfaction, physical health, mental health, academic performance and satisfaction, and life satisfaction.
Why Should I Care About Sotl? The Professional Responsibilities Of Post-Secondary Educators, Philip Pecorino, Shannon Kincaid
Why Should I Care About Sotl? The Professional Responsibilities Of Post-Secondary Educators, Philip Pecorino, Shannon Kincaid
International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning
Over the last decade, there has been tremendous growth in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL) in post-secondary education. Yet, apart from a few significant exceptions, there has been very little discussion of the role this scholarship is to play in the professional activities of post-secondary educators. This essay defends the claim that as professional educators, all college professors have an ethical obligation to participate in SOTL. This participation entails both active research and scholarly review. On these grounds, SOTL is not an isolated slice of scholarly research; it is a necessary condition of post-secondary education.

Factors Associated With Employment Among Latinos Living With Hiv/Aids, Shaun Michael Burns, Lydia R. L. Young, Suzanne Maniss
Counseling Faculty Publications
This investigation explored the utility of various demographic, health-related, and psychological variables in predicting employment among Latinos living with HIV/AIDS. Results of an analysis of variance indicated that employed participants were younger, evinced significantly greater CD4 counts, physical and mental health functioning, and internal locus of control beliefs than those who were unable to work due to disabilities. A backward binary logistic regression demonstrated that age, CD4 count, internal locus of control, and mental health functioning contributed to the explanatory power of the final model. This model correctly classified group membership 72% of the time, 78% of participants who were …

The article examines many topics, including early Euro-American incursions, the changes wrought by the Native American land cessions in 1855, and the development of hydroelectric power on the Columbia River, particularly The Dalles Dam, completed in 1957, which destroyed ancient …

Safety Sitter Class, Rachael Pino
Safety Sitter Class, Rachael Pino
Capstone Projects and Master's Theses
According to statistical information, 40.8% of children living below poverty level and 35% of children living above poverty level must spend part of their day without adult supervision (Johnson, 2002). These children are vulnerable to physical injury, fear, and loneliness, and they must face emergencies alone. However, many agencies provide safety information and coping strategies for children in these situations. One such agency, The Lyceum of Monterey County, has collaborated with a local fire chief to provide a "safety sitter" class. After two decades of offering this class, the Lyceum has recognized the popularity of this class and has identified …

Crisis, Charisma And Consequences: Evidence From The 2004 Us Presidential Election, Jennifer L. Merolla, Jennifer M. Ramos, Elizabeth J. Zechmeister
Crisis, Charisma And Consequences: Evidence From The 2004 Us Presidential Election, Jennifer L. Merolla, Jennifer M. Ramos, Elizabeth J. Zechmeister
Political Science and International Relations Faculty Works
We investigate how conditions of crisis affect perceptions of charisma and how these, in turn, affect blame attribution and self-sacrificial behavior. Our data are from a 2004 experimental study that preceded the U.S. presidential election, in which we manipulated concerns of a terrorist attack. The results show that those in the Crisis condition rated Bush higher on perceptions of charisma compared to those in the Good Times condition. The Crisis condition also directly and indirectly, via perceptions of charisma, affected whether Bush was blamed for failures in Iraq and our subjects’ willingness to sacrifice their personal resources for his candidacy.
