Women's Liberation: Is It Smashing The Hothouse?, Wendy Tarnoff

Honors Papers

Since this paper has concentrated on the cultural and societal influences on women's roles, and how these affect their criminal behavior, these variables rather than exclusively economic ones, will be presented now in relatively economic homogeneous contexts. The remaining discussion will, therefore, compare the patterns and trends of female criminal behavior in England-Wales and Japan with those in the United States. A final note will be made on some research done by Safilios-Rothschild in Greece concerning socio-cultural changes which have occurred in Greece, and how they have affected the commission of "honor crimes."

Markets And Merchants: Economic Diversification In Colonial Virginia, 1700-1775, Peter Victor Bergstrom

Doctoral Dissertations

While the literature detailing the intricacies of the colonial tobacco trade is extensive, and often quite persuasive, its conclusion that Virginia's economy began and ended in the production of tobacco is misleading. Virginia's expansion into previously unsettled lands, and the tremendous increase in the size of its labor force during the first three quarters of the eighteenth century did produce a gigantic growth in the tobacco trade, but it had other effects as well. Grain and meat products along with naval stores and iron contributed little to the colony's economic output in 1701, yet by 1774 they accounted for better …

Good Wives: A Study In Role Definition In Northern New England, 1650-1750, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation describes the productive, sexual, and public roles of married women living in the province of New Hampshire and the two Massachusetts counties which bordered it, Essex County to the south and York County (now Maine) to the north and east. Because there are no female diaries for the period and few letters, the study depends upon an accumulation of evidence from court records, account books, probate inventories, church records, paintings, embroideries, gravestones, genealogical records, captivity narratives, sermons, and the letters and diaries of husbands and sons.

The discussion is organized around three Biblical archetypes frequently employed in early …

The Employment Patterns Of Criminal Justice Graduates Of The University Of Alabama In Birmingham: A Follow-Up Study., Watcharapol Prasarnrajkit

All ETDs from UAB

The discipline of Criminal Justice began in the early twentieth century with the initiation of the Berkeley Police School in 1908 by August Vollmer. This school was the first formal effort to train policemen in the United States. Many of the instructors were drawn from the University of California at Berkeley. 1 Vollmer believed that "the professional policeman would be distinguished from his predecessors by the level of his formal training both before and after recruitment and that new ideas from the universities could provide valuable insights into the causes of crime and the means for preventing it."

Nova Scotia Freedom Of Information Act, Keith R. Evans

Dalhousie Law Journal

Freedom of Information has been the subject of much current debate in Canada, but is not new to the world. The United States enacted their first Act, in 1966,1 and amendments in 1974 finally gave the Act some worthwhile effect. 2 Sweden has had Freedom of Information legislation for over two hundred years. The experience of these two countries has been very favourable, but Canada refuses to learn from that experience. There is still a fear in the governments of Canada that openness in government would lead to problems, the ultimate fear being that the party in power will no …

High-Level Radioactive Waste Management: The Nuclear Dilemma, Richard C. Ausness

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

The United States is faced with a nuclear dilemma. On the one hand, nuclear power seems to be the only significant energy source that is presently capable of meeting the country's electrical energy needs. On the other hand, it is uncertain whether the United States has the technological and managerial capability to make nuclear power reliable and safe. In view of this situation, the United States should begin to develop less dangerous alternatives such as solar power. But development of an efficient solar energy system may require 30 years or more. In the meantime, the United States must learn to …

A Comparative Study Of Sophus Keith Winther And Carl Hansen, Rudolf J. Jensen

The Bridge

This short poem written by Carl Hansen expresses the essential conflicts of the Danish emigrant in the United States. In their relentless struggle to survive on the plains of the American midwest, two concerns dominated the consciousness of the emigrant. One was the continuous sense of doubt about the wisdom leaving the old country and the other was the necessarily unanswered question of whether the privations of their present life would be rewarded by the success of the following generations. The dreams and hopes of most Danish-American emigrants were in fact not fulfilled in accordance with their expectations. Neither the …

Approaches To Bilateral Loan Agreements Between Developed And Developing States: Some Lessons From The Practice Of Denmark, The United Kingdom And The United States, A. O. Adede

Dalhousie Law Journal

An earlier study,' relying upon texts of bilateral loan agreements concluded between Denmark and certain developing countries, 2 and between the United Kingdom and certain developing countries, 3 discloses that there is a need for further examination of the subject for the purposes of updating and assessing the trend of developments in this area of international law. This paper is accordingly designed to offer comparative analysis of the more recent approaches to bilateral loan agreements concluded by Denmark, the United Kingdom and the United States with a number of developing countries. The selection of these three developed, market economy States …

A Hydrologic Model Of Aspen-Conifer Succession In The Western United States, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service

Forestry

Hydrologic impacts of grass-forb to aspen to conifer succession in the Rocky Mountain area are simulated by means of a fundamental model. Model algorithms representing hydrologic processes are sensitive to vegetational changes within the subalpine vegetation zone. Reductions in water yield are predicted as the vegetation on a small Utah watershed proceeds from a grass-forb type to aspen to conifers. Streamflow changes are largely attributable to an interaction between seasonal consumption for each vegetation type and the influence of vegetation type on snowpack. The model synthesizes present understanding and provides a framework for future watershed research.

A Descriptive Study Of Institutionalized Adjudicated Delinquents In The State Of Alabama On Selected Demographic Factors., Ernest R. Williams

All ETDs from UAB

In its 1967 report, the Task Force on Juvenile Delinquency and Youth Crime of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice called juvenile crime "the single most pressing and threatening aspect of the crime problem in the United States." There is little evidence that the magnitude of the problem has dissipated in the succeeding ten years.

Medical Jurisprudence Offerings In Curricula Of Medical Schools In Selected Southeastern United States., Lois Annette Gray

All ETDs from UAB

Malpractice suits have been filed against physicians with increasing frequency in recent years. While many different reasons for the increase have been given, among those suggested is that physicians in general are not knowledgeable about medical jurisprudence to the degree they are able to prevent legal action being taken against them. If this is so, then there is an implication of a need to educate prospective and practicing physicians in the subject of medical jurisprudence.

The Demise Of The Dialectic: Historical Consciousness And The American Experience, Samuel Martineau

Graduate Dissertations and Theses

This thesis originated out of a desire to utilize some of the basic insights of the Frankfurt school in order to analyze the significance and meaning of the structural dynamics of the American past. In doing this, I have attempted to provide some of the basic categories of Critical Theory with a concrete historical content, and I have sought to demonstrate the absolute necessity of including these categories in any historical investigation that seeks to convey the ultimate meaning of the history that it studies.

The thesis itself is divided into two parts. In part One, I present what might …

A Study Of The Juror Interaction Process In Criminal Trials, Paul E. Dow

Graduate Dissertations and Theses

Four hundred and fifty-four jurors who served on forty-three criminal trials in Syracuse, New York, were sent questionnaires designed to elicit information concerning their deliberative behavior. One hundred and ninety-four jurors representing 42.6 percent of the total sample returned the survey instrument. This figure represents the efforts of one initial survey and two follow-up surveys.

The purpose of the research is to gain insights into individual and collective juror behavior. After a review of the traditional, legal realist, and behavioral literature concerning deliberative behavior several hypotheses were generated and tested. Two of the four hypotheses received some support. Specifically, a …
