Raising The Bars: A Comparative Look At Treatment Standards For Mentally Ill Prisoners In The United States, United Kingdom, And Australia, Kim P. Turner Jul 2008

Raising The Bars: A Comparative Look At Treatment Standards For Mentally Ill Prisoners In The United States, United Kingdom, And Australia, Kim P. Turner

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note examines the treatment of mentally ill prisoners in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, highlighting the disparity in mental health care within their prison systems. It argues that while the U.K. and Australia have integrated international human rights standards into their policies, the U.S. lags behind, relying on an outdated Eighth Amendment framework that fails to meet contemporary human rights expectations. The author advocates for the U.S. to reevaluate its approach, aligning it with international standards to ensure adequate mental health care for prisoners.

“West Of The West?”: The Territory Of Hawai’I, The American West, And American Colonialism In The Twentieth Century, Aaron Steven Wilson Jul 2008

“West Of The West?”: The Territory Of Hawai’I, The American West, And American Colonialism In The Twentieth Century, Aaron Steven Wilson

Department of History: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Hawai’i holds a somewhat nebulous place in American History. While it easily fits in the dominant narrative surrounding the Spanish American War of 1898 and World War II, Hawai’i rarely factors into other major historical fields, often making a brief cameo appearance when it does. Because the state is geographically placed at the western extreme of America, one supposes that western historians would gladly accept the task of chronicling Hawaiian history; yet, even academics in this field hesitate to embrace the region. In fact, some scholars who study the American West completely dismiss the notion of including the Hawaiian Islands. …

This paper reports on key informant (KI) and focus group interviews exploring the relationships between methamphetamine small toxic lab (STL) seizures and related activity, and methamphetamine precursor laws. The primary purposes of the KI and focus group interviews were to: 1) examine KIs’ perceptions of the impact of their state’s precursor laws; 2) explore KIs’ perceptions of the organizational and procedural facilitators and barriers to successful implementation of the law(s); and 3) evaluate KIs’ perceptions of the relative importance of various precursor law provisions. Research questions included: 1) What were KIs’ perceptions of the impact of their state’s precursor laws?; …


The New Securocracy And The "Police Concept" Of Public Sector Worker Identity, Cliff Oswick, Stephen Matthias Harney, Gerard Hanlon Jul 2008

The New Securocracy And The "Police Concept" Of Public Sector Worker Identity, Cliff Oswick, Stephen Matthias Harney, Gerard Hanlon

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

In recent years we have seen the emergence of a "new securocracy," a generalization of responsibility for fighting terror within the public sector. Here we consider the nature and extent of this securocratic shift. In particular, the identity implications for the public sector worker are explored and we contend that there is an inherent tension between "serving" and "policing" the public in many public sector jobs. We also discuss the way in which a securocratic identity is simultaneously embraced and resisted. Finally, we present some tentative insights into an alternative way of thinking about identity work, which offers a means …


Document Design And Emergency Management Plans, Emily Elizabeth Price Jul 2008

Document Design And Emergency Management Plans, Emily Elizabeth Price

English Theses & Dissertations

Document design is a hybrid field of study that emerged &om both graphic design and professional writing. Emergency management planning occurs at all levels of government and documents processes, procedures and responsibilities of responding agencies to a disaster situation. An examination of the rhetorical elements of audience, context and purpose enables application of appropriate document design in any type of document, including emergency management plans, because the rhetorical situation of a document helps to determine appropriate design cues appropriate for the specific audience, context or purpose of that specific document.

Through relevant research into document design theory and practice, currently …

Project Summary and Goals Historically, affirmative action policies have evolved from initial programs aimed at providing equal educational opportunities to all students, to the legitimacy of programs that are aimed at achieving diversity in higher education. In June 2003, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action pushed higher education across the threshold toward creating a new paradigm for diversity in the 21 51 century. The court clearly stale that affirmative action is still viable but that our institutions must reconsider our traditional concepts for building diversity in the next few decades. This shift in historical context of diversity in …

This study also investigated the impact of service-learning courses on the traditional classroom setting. Data were collected by means of a survey using Likert scale statements measuring related outcomes based on six components: academic, civic, developmental, social skills, leadership, and personal. Additionally, students were asked to rank those outcomes using another set of Likert scale items, comparing the service-learning experience to that of the traditional classroom setting.
