An Ecological Assessment Of Property And Violent Crime Rates Across A Latino Urban Landscape: The Role Of Social Disorganization And Institutional Anomie Theory, Jeffrey Michael Cancino, Sean P. Varano, Joseph A. Schafer, Roger Enriquez

Justice Studies Faculty Publications

The present research put forth an integrated theoretical framework aimed at providing a more holistic community- level approach explaining crime across a heavily populated Latino city. Guided by social disorganization and institutional anomie theory, this study used several data sources and OLS regression techniques to examine the impact of social disorganization, economic and noneconomic institutional characteristics on rates of property and violent crime across 1,016 census block groups in San Antonio, Texas. While several findings emerged, interactions between alcohol density and concentrated disadvantage were significant and positively associated with property and violent crime. Interactions between welfare generosity and concentrated disadvantage …

Restorative Justice: How Law Schools Can Help Heal Their Communities, Rachel King

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Essay argues that the justice system should establish a parallel system, using restorative justice, designed to "heal" those individuals affected by crime, but who are not the victim, i.e. the victim's family. Additionally, the author proposes that law schools should help develop this parallel system.

Can Reinforcement Induce Children To Falsely Incriminate Themselves?, F. Billings, Tanya Taylor, James Burns, Deb Corey, Sena Garven, James Wood

Departmental Papers (Psych)

This study examined whether reinforcement can induce children to falsely incriminate themselves. Ninety-nine children in kindergarten through third grade were questioned regarding the staged theft of a toy. Half received reinforcement for self-incriminating responses. Within 4 minutes reinforced children made 52% false admissions of guilty knowledge concerning the theft, and 43% false admissions of having witnessed it. Corresponding figures for controls were 36% and 25%. Twelve percent of children admitted to participating in the theft, but the effect of reinforcement was only marginally significant. The findings suggest that reinforcement can sometimes induce children to falsely implicate themselves in wrongdoing.

Transgression Or Stasis? Challenging Foucault In Lis Theory, John Buschman

Library Publications

Michel Foucault (1926–84) is a primary thinker informing the construction of a critical theory of library and information science (LIS), or librarianship. He is widely cited and is adapted in various ways that focus on LIS forms of power, discourse, and so on. Others have addressed Foucault’s topics, but he remains central. Li- brarianship has taken up a prior challenge to more fully explore his work, and it is now time to carefully review the implications of Foucault’s thinking as a foun- dation for a critical-theoretical LIS. Foucault has undergone extensive analysis and critique, and this article is a similar …

Ending Chronic Homelessness In America's Major Cities-The Justice Systems' Duty, Robert Coates

¿La Raza Latina?: Multiracial Ambivalence, Color Denial, And The Emergence Of A Tri-Ethnic Jurisprudence At The End Of The 20th Century, Tom I. Romero

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

This article is a recent legal history concerning the complicated, inconsistent, and dramatic transformation in the jurisprudential meaning and legal consequence of race, color and ethnic categories in the last decades of the 20th century. Linking school desegregation, bilingual education, and affirmative action jurisprudence to the dramatic growth of the nation's Latina/o community in the second half of the 20th century, the article documents the reasons behind the inability of American law to understand conceptually the idea of a Latino race.

In particular, the article argues that three United States Supreme Court equality of education cases - Keyes v. School …

Part 7: Is Hampton Roads Receiving It's "Fair" Share From The Commonwealth?, Regional Studies Institute, Old Dominion University

State of the Region Reports: Hampton Roads

All things considered, the region has a case to make when it argues that it receives less than its “fair” share of state government spending. The geographic distribution of expenditures is particularly disadvantageous to Hampton Roads in the areas of K-12 education and car tax reimbursements, but less so in transportation and higher education.
