Revisiting Alaska's Sex Offender Registration And Public Notification Statute, Deborah Periman Oct 2008

Revisiting Alaska's Sex Offender Registration And Public Notification Statute, Deborah Periman

UAAJC Occasional Papers

This paper provides a look at the parameters of the Alaska’s sex offender registration statute. At the time of its enactment in 1994, the Alaska Sex Offender Registration Act was one of the most stringent in the U.S., far exceeding the miniumum requirements imposed on the states by the federal Jacob Wetterling Act. The federal Adam Walsh Child Protection Act, signed into law in 2006, has the net effect of bringing all the states closer to Alaska’s registration and publication requirements. However, Alaska’s statute and its federal counterpart were based on assumptions about sex offender recidivism and the effectiveness of …

Employers Can Do Youth Development Too, Eric Vogel Oct 2008

Employers Can Do Youth Development Too, Eric Vogel

Journal of Youth Development

Professionals and volunteers who care about the welfare of young people know the importance of caring adults. The field has worked with all types of adults, including parents, teachers, and youth workers to enhance their understanding of youth development philosophy, approaches and practices. However, we’ve virtually ignored an entire sector of adults who play a major role in the lives of young people—employers. Given the large number of youth in the workforce, and understanding the critical role of caring adults, the question becomes, “how do we focus attention on preparing employers and other workplace adults to be more thoughtful and …

Community Interactive Processes And Rural Adolescents’ Educational Achievement: Investigating The Mediating Effects Of Delinquency And Self-Esteem, Omolola Adedokun, Mark Balschweid Oct 2008

Community Interactive Processes And Rural Adolescents’ Educational Achievement: Investigating The Mediating Effects Of Delinquency And Self-Esteem, Omolola Adedokun, Mark Balschweid

Journal of Youth Development

The study reported in this paper examines the effects of community interactive processes on rural adolescents’ educational achievement. Specifically, the paper explored the direct effects of community interactive processes on rural adolescents’ educational achievement and the indirect effects via self-esteem and delinquency. The method of structural equation modeling was used to analyze data from a nationally representative panel study of rural adolescent boys and girls in 10th grade through 12th grade. The results make a compelling case that communities are conduits for boosting self-esteem, facilitating normative behaviors and academic performance in rural adolescents.

An Examination Of Youth Voice Via Quasi-Experimental Methodology, Melissa Cater, Krisanna Machtmes, Janet Fox

Journal of Youth Development

The purpose of the study discussed was to determine if youth voice affects the ownership and engagement of youth in a county 4-H program. A youth-led approach was used with the treatment group to facilitate youth and adults sharing decision-making power. The comparison group utilized an adult-centered approach where decisions about the club programming were made strictly by the adults. A pre-and post-measurement design was used. Analysis of covariance was employed to determine if differences existed between youth participating in the treatment group and comparison groups and if differences existed between youth based on race. Findings indicated statistically significant differences …

The Role Of Land Reform In Reducing Poverty Across Nepal, Chandra Adhikari Oct 2008

The Role Of Land Reform In Reducing Poverty Across Nepal, Chandra Adhikari

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

Land is the main source of income and consumption for Nepalese people. This study analyses the economic relationship between access to land and poverty in Nepal by establishing the link between land and consumption as well as land and income. A generalised additive model and OLS demonstrate that greater access to land for the poor increases income and consumption and thereby reduces poverty. The significant marginal value of land of both consumption and income implies that an effective land reform policy could well be the most effective approach to alleviate rural poverty. However, land reform must come as part of …

Into The Imagined Forest: A 2000-Year Retrospective Of The German Woods, Richard Hacken Oct 2008

Into The Imagined Forest: A 2000-Year Retrospective Of The German Woods, Richard Hacken

Faculty Publications

In a "House of Learning" lecture in the Harold B. Lee Library in October, 2008, Richard Hacken gave this presentation, a combination of text and images. Coming from the history of ideas, this retrospective of the German woods looked at historical, linguistic, artistic, philosophical, political, literary, cultural, and of course botanical aspects of the German forest. In summary, five major forest themes arise from Germans imagining their own German woods: (1) taming the external and internal wilderness; (2) establishing social justice; (3) advocating national unity; (4) maintaining a sense of the sacred; and (5) encouraging ecological awareness.

Mammoth Cave Research Symposia

Albert Covington Janin was the key architect of tourism development at Mammoth Cave for two decades at the start of the twentieth century, yet little has been written about his tenure.
