Television, Low Self-Control, And Deviance: Examining Basic Elements Of Gottfredson And Hirschi's General Theory Of Crime, Moises O. Mina Jr.

Sociology & Criminal Justice Theses & Dissertations

In a secondary analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), this study examines the basic concepts of Gottfredson and Hirschi's general theory of crime. A set of variables measured at ages 6-9 was used to operationally define the concepts of self-control, parenting, and deviance. The study tests for empirical associations between self-control, deviance, and parenting. Also, television viewing is introduced as a possible cause of low self-control. Age, race, and gender are included as statistical controls. Models of self-control and deviance were developed to analyze these relationships. Results found qualified support for the existence of significant …

The Changing Character Of The American Catholic Church 1810–1850, Kathleen Flanagan S.C. Apr 1999

The Changing Character Of The American Catholic Church 1810–1850, Kathleen Flanagan S.C.

Vincentian Studies

The Church in the United States faced three main problems between 1810 and 1850: anti-Catholic prejudice, the question of how to educate Catholic children, and the need for care of orphans and the sick. Anti-Catholic prejudice in the United States, which abated somewhat immediately after the Revolution, reached new heights with the massive Irish and German immigration in this period. Conflicts between Catholics and Protestants over which version of the Bible would be used in schools and the bishops’ insistence that interpretation be provided with Bible study contributed to the prejudice. It also led to the formation of a separate …

An Analysis Of The Success And Failure Of The Collection And Interpretation Of American Intelligence, 1942-1989, Alexander Michael Gibby

History Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to investigate several types of American intelligence collectors. These collectors include human, airborne, shipborne, satellite, and signals. The time frame for this study will begin with the American involvement in the Second World War, commencing with Operation Torch in 1942, and end with the conclusion of the Cold War, marked by the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. The case-study format of the paper allows the author to focus on several important areas of intelligence collection, rather than dividing analysis over a great array of topics. The significance of the thesis to contemporary …


Secured Creditors And Consumer Bankruptcy In The United States, William C. Whitford Apr 1999

Secured Creditors And Consumer Bankruptcy In The United States, William C. Whitford

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

This article first summarizes the many restrictions that the American consumer bankruptcy system imposes on the enforcement of the contractual rights of secured creditors. The restrictions include the ability, in Chapter 13 proceedings particularly, of the debtor to "strip the lien" of the undersecured creditor, releasing the collateral from the lien upon payment, over time, of only the value of the collateral when it is less than the full amount owing. The article then summarizes many changes in the rights of secured creditors currently being proposed and debated in Congress. The author concludes with his own proposals that would enhance …

Can Everyone Make The Grade? Some Thoughts On Student Grading And Contemporary Classrooms, Jo M. Hendrickson, Robert A. Gable, M. Lee Manning Jan 1999

Can Everyone Make The Grade? Some Thoughts On Student Grading And Contemporary Classrooms, Jo M. Hendrickson, Robert A. Gable, M. Lee Manning

Communication Disorders & Special Education Faculty Publications

High school officials should consider alternative perspectives on grading in light of increasing student heterogeneity. Their challenge is to consider grading policies and practices that apply equally to students with and without diverse needs or disabilities. Schools should think about incorporating various combinations of percent, criterion-referenced, and norm-referenced grading into a more flexible policy on grading; ensure that student expectations are unambiguously described in writing and in sufficient detail; and subject their policies on grading to periodic review and be prepared to make any necessary modifications. Moreover, schools should collaborate with various stakeholders to develop policies on grading that guarantee …

United States Business Travelers' Response To Price Changes And Overbooking: Its Effect On Intentional Loyalty In The Hospitality Industry, Nicholas Jee Gordon Jan 1999

United States Business Travelers' Response To Price Changes And Overbooking: Its Effect On Intentional Loyalty In The Hospitality Industry, Nicholas Jee Gordon

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Companies that have highly perishable inventories have used yield management quite extensively over the past decade. The process helps to maximize revenues based on demand. The airline industry was the first to adopt the process into a business setting and has seen varying results along the way. Much of the existing research is geared towards examining the revenue producing potential of the system. There has been little research however, to examine how this process of shifting price to manipulate demand effects customer loyalty; This research attempts to evaluate what the effects actually are when price is used as the major …


United States Probation/Pretrial Officers' Concerns About Victimization And Officer Safety Training, Kevin D Lowry Jan 1999

United States Probation/Pretrial Officers' Concerns About Victimization And Officer Safety Training, Kevin D Lowry

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

In June of 1991, the Monograph 109 supervision manual changed the role of the U.S. Probation/Pretrial Officer from predominately that of a social worker to an enforcement agent. Officers now perform enforcement activities and supervise a more dangerous clientele. This shift in responsibilities did not result in increased safety training. Safety issues have become a major concern for many officers; The current research involved a national survey of U.S. Probation/Pretrial Officers to measure levels of victimization, concerns for personal safety and satisfaction for safety training. The results indicate that few officers were victims of physical assaults but a majority reported …

State Immunity Waivers For Suits By The United States, Evan H. Caminker Jan 1999

State Immunity Waivers For Suits By The United States, Evan H. Caminker

Articles

The Supreme Court closed this millennium with a virtual celebration of state sovereignty, protecting state authority from the reach of congressional power in several significant ways. In a pair of cases, Seminole Tribe v. Florida1 and Alden v. Maine,2 the Court held that states enjoy a constitutional immunity from being sued without their consent. In Seminole Tribe, the Court opined that "the background principle of state sovereign immunity embodied in the Eleventh Amendment"3 protects states from unconsented suits in federal court. In Alden, the Court held that this principle is not merely embodied in the Eleventh Amendment but rather is …

Resolving Conflicting International Data Privacy Rules In Cyberspace, Joel R. Reidenberg Jan 1999

Resolving Conflicting International Data Privacy Rules In Cyberspace, Joel R. Reidenberg

Faculty Scholarship

While core principles for the fair treatment of personal information are common to democracies, privacy rights vary considerably across national borders. This article explores the divergences in approach and substance of data privacy between Europe and the United States. It argues that the specific privacy rules adopted in a country have a governance function. The article shows that national differences support two distinct political choices for the roles in democratic society assigned to the state, the market and the individual: either liberal, market-based governance or socially-protective, rights-based governance. These structural divergences make international cooperation imperative for effective data protection in …
