The New Pitcairn Islands Constitution: Strong, Empty Words For Britain’S Smallest Colony, Michael O. Eshleman

Pace International Law Review

The Pitcairn Constitution runs 12,164 words. It is the length of the Alaska Constitution6 and triple that of the U.S. Constitution. It has 66 articles, one article for every inhabitant on Pitcairn, which has the population of a small village. Many articles are filled with details of the sort generally left by the United States Constitution for statutes but which clutter many state constitutions. This is typical of British colonial constitutions—long and detailed. Reading the document shows much is based on European human rights law.

Tax Caps on Illinois Local Governments: How Well Are They Working?

2012 Cumberland County Law Enforcement Case File Review, Teresa A. Hubley, George Shaler Mph

Maine Statistical Analysis Center

Since 1998, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has required all states that receive formula grant funding through the Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention Act to determine the rate of minority youth in confinement. In 2002, OJJDP enhanced this requirement to include other key decision points (e.g., arrest, referral, diversion, detention, petition, adjudication, probation, confinement, and bind over) in the juvenile justice process.This expanded view allows for a more comprehensive assessment of how minority youth are treated by various juvenile justice system actors (e.g., law enforcement, corrections, and the courts). The Act’s goal is to ensure that all …

Community-Oriented Policing Strategies When Handling Nonviolent Drug Offenders, Michael J. Layle

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

In this study, I analyze the responses of police officers to questions regarding their involvement in the use of Community-Oriented Policing strategies. When the officer encounters a drug offender they must decide how to deal with the situation. There are a variety of trained responses and policies available. The data is grouped into nine variables; time in law enforcement, time in department, perceived support, perceived barriers, COP strategy, COP action, prevention, help, and citation. The data is then analyzed using structural equation modeling.

Fear Of Criminal Victimization In Relation To Specific Locations On A College Campus., Nancy M. Steinmetz 1955-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Feelings of fear on a college campus are driven by physical characteristics of a specific location as well as the demographics and past experiences of those visiting these locations. Factors such as gender, residency, race, age, class status, and other demographics, play a key role in a person's perception of their safety in a given space. Humans intuitively assess the spaces for prospect, refuge, and escape and intuition further add to the level of fear they may experience. Using a sample of students from a public university, this study examined how these factors worked together to form students' overall perceptions.

Prison Wardens' Perceptions Of Sex Offenders, Sex Offender Registration, Community Notification, And Residency Restrictions., David Patrick Connor

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

There is relatively little known about how criminal justice system actors perceive sex offenders and the fairness, efficacy, and scope of policies aimed at sex offenders. Similarly, there is sparse research that specifically examines the attitudes, beliefs, and experiences of prison wardens. Following in the footsteps of earlier research (Tewksbury & Mustaine, 2011; Tewksbury, Mustaine, & Payne, 2011, in press), the present study addresses these gaps by considering the attitudes and beliefs toward sex offenders held by wardens. This examination includes perceptions about sex offenders as prison inmates, sex offender registration, community notification, and residency restrictions. Further, this research assesses …
