Examining Correctional Leadership Styles That Encourage Cooperative Compliance From Federal Offenders, Paul Gonzalez

All Theses And Dissertations

Since its inception in 1930, the Federal Bureau of Prisons has experienced tremendous growth in its inmate population. Concluding 1930 with 14 federal prisons, the Bureau of Prisons now maintains 122 federal prisons, and is accountable for over 180,000 federal offenders within federal prisons walls and within contracted correctional centers. The federal inmate population has also grown in diversity, and training offered by the Bureau of Prisons to its employees has not transformed in a manner that addresses the rise in offender diversity. Officers are left to independently devise various leadership styles to meet the needs of the organization. Bureau …

Post-Accountability Accountability, Nicole Stelle Garnett

Journal Articles

Over the past few decades, parental choice has exploded in the United States. Yet, despite early proponents’ hopes that parental choice would eliminate the need to regulate school quality—since parents’ choices would serve an accountability function—demands to use the law to hold chosen schools accountable for their academic performance are central features of education-reform debates today. This is an opportune time to consider the issue of academic accountability and parental choice. Parental choice has gained a firm foothold in the American educational landscape. As it continues to expand, debates about accountability for chosen schools will only intensify. The questions of …

Why Don't Some White Supremacist Groups Pay Taxes?, Eric Franklin Amarante

Emory Law Journal Online

A number of white supremacist groups enjoy tax-exempt status. These hate groups do not have to pay federal taxes and people who give money to these groups may take deductions on their personal taxes. This recognition not only results in potential lost revenue for government programs, but it also serves as a public subsidy of racist propaganda and operates as the federal government's imprimatur of white supremacist activities. This is all due to an unnecessarily broad definition of 'educational' that somehow encompasses the activities of universities, symphonies, and white supremacists. This Essay suggests a change in the Treasury Regulations to …

The results reveal more similarities than differences in terms of …

The Impact Of College Internships On The Development Of Tacit Managerial Knowledge And Career Confidence, Kaitlyn Sawin

Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection

Despite the large number of students completing an internship, research examining the impact of those internships on students is fairly limited. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential impact that internships have on students, particularly in the areas of crystallization of vocational self-concept and the development of tacit managerial knowledge. Additionally, the impact of internships on career confidence and academic behaviors – in terms of class attendance and hours spent studying – was examined. A survey was developed and administered to business students who had completed zero, one, or two internships. It was hypothesized that students who …

Environmental Organizations’ Litigation Communication In The Polarized U.S. Political Landscape, Rachel Anderle

Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection

This study analyzes environmental litigation communication in an increasingly polarized political context. Specifically, this project analyzes environmental organizations’ communication strategies and messages related to their litigation efforts in order to better understand how environmental nonprofits frame environmental litigation within the current U. S. political landscape. Multiple data sources (e.g., website content, tweets, and interviews) triangulate the study by providing varying strategic perspectives on organizations’ environmental litigation communication efforts. Results show that nonprofit organizations like the National Resources Defense Council and Sierra Club use a variety of frames that portray litigation as a righteous action used to hold those in power …

Big Data Policing And The Redistribution Of Anxiety, Kiel Brennan-Marquez

Faculty Articles and Papers

By equipping police with data, what are we trying to accomplish? Certain answers ring familiar. For one thing, we are trying to make criminal justice decisions, plagued as they often are by inaccuracy and bias, more refined. For another, we are trying to boost the efficiency of governance institutions-police departments, prosecutor's offices, municipal courts-that operate under the pall of scarcity.

For the moment, I want to put answers like these to one side; not because they are wrong, but because they seem like only part of the story. Another goal of big data policing, in addition to those just described, …

Feminist Judging Matters: How Feminist Theory And Methods Affect The Process Of Judgment, Bridget J. Crawford

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The word “feminism” means different things to its many supporters (and undoubtedly, to its detractors). For some, it refers to the historic struggle: first to realize the right of women to vote and then to eliminate explicit discrimination against women from the nation's laws. For others, it is a political movement, the purpose of which is to raise awareness about and to overcome past and present oppression faced by women. For still others, it is a philosophy--a system of thought--and a community of belief centering on attaining political, social, and economic equality for women, men, and people of any gender. …

Domestic Hierarchies: Household Workers And Middle-Class Employers In Buenos Aires, 1956–1976, Inés Pérez

Journal of Latino/Latin American Studies (JOLLAS)

In Argentina, substantial changes took place in domestic service since the beginning of the Twentieth Century, such as the decreasing number of workers per household, the gradual shift towards the coexistence of live-in and live-out arrangements, the sanction of a legal code that protected household workers' rights, etc. These transformations gave way to new conflicts that revolved around domestic employees’ “inadequate” skills and knowledge and their “improper” use of the home. If the presence of a domestic employee guaranteed the social status of the family that employed one, “inappropriate” behavior could also call this status into question. By analyzing the …
