Athletic Participation: A Test Of Learning And Neutralization Theories., Mario Bernard Hankerson
Athletic Participation: A Test Of Learning And Neutralization Theories., Mario Bernard Hankerson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Athletics has been regarded as a means of encouraging youth to build character, discipline, and develop healthy habits. However, literature has emerged that asserts athletics do not prevent deviant behaviors, but instead, influence one to commit deviant acts. As such, this research examined effects of athletics on the commission of deviant behaviors via learning and techniques of neutralization theories.
Subjects for this project included 325 college students from a southern regional university. Data were generated through the use of a self-report questionnaire, which measured variables pertaining to self-reported deviant behaviors including perceptions of peer deviance, neutralizing indicators, and sports participation. …

Over the period of the intervention and operation of the-AGI project, there was a considerable decline in gun crimes in the target precincts, whereas the number of such offenses rose in the comparison precinct. This was particularly the case in the Ninth Precinct, where a statistically significant reduction of gun crimes occurred. Perhaps more importantly, this reduction represented 112 fewer gun crimes, and thus a commensurate fewer number of victims, per month in this precinct. Given the design of this study and available data, these results cannot be directly attributed to the intervention. However, there is a strong indication that …

Criminal Justice Policy Strategies For Maine, Craig Mcewen, Evelyn Hanneman
Criminal Justice Policy Strategies For Maine, Craig Mcewen, Evelyn Hanneman
Maine Policy Review
Is Maine controlling crime in ways that may lead to reductions in crime rates as well as a criminal justice system that is more cost-efficient to support? Craig McEwen and Evelyn Hanneman indicate we are not and ask the question: Can Maine take advantage of its relatively low crime rate to rethink and improve crime control strategies? In answering this question McEwen and Hanneman present a forceful argument for restorative justice, where repairing the harm to victims and communities becomes the forefront of our response to crime. They suggest six strategies to achieve this change, including the planned closing of …
A Comparative Study Of Black And White Girls' Delinquency, Kenya Larae Covington
A Comparative Study Of Black And White Girls' Delinquency, Kenya Larae Covington
Sociology & Criminal Justice Theses & Dissertations
In this research, I examined the similarities and differences between black and white female delinquents. A secondary analysis of the Survey of Youth in Custody, 1987 data was utilized to answer the following research questions: (1) What factors contribute to each group's delinquency the most? (2) Are the factors that contribute to black girls' delinquency significantly different from those factors that contribute to white girls' delinquency? The study was guided by previous research on race and female delinquency, girls' victimization, the role of the family and school performance. The independent variables victimization, family structure, family function and school performance were …
Play Fair With Punishment, Richard Dagger
Play Fair With Punishment, Richard Dagger
Political Science Faculty Publications
If we want to provide a justification for legal punishment, then, we must answer two distinct questions: (1) What justifies punishment as a social practice? and (2) What justifies punishing particular persons? The principle of fair play is an especially attractive theory of punishment, I shall agree, because it offers plausible and compelling answers to both these questions. I shall also suggest that there is a third question - How should we punish those who commit crimes? - that fair play cannot answer without help from other sources.
Law, Order, And The Consent Defense, Keith M. Harrison
Law, Order, And The Consent Defense, Keith M. Harrison
Law Faculty Scholarship
[Excerpt] Among the benefits that we gain on leaving the state of nature and joining together in a "civilized society" is some amount of added protection of our individual possessions and person. Among our losses is the ability to plunder, at will, the possessions and bodies of those who are weaker than we are. These two statements are generally, but not absolutely, true. I propose that one hallmark of civilization is the security of everyone who lives under its authority that they are free from the unwanted interferences of others with their personal integrity and property rights.' One way to …
Toward A Critical Theory Of Female Criminality, Ann Curry Thompson
Toward A Critical Theory Of Female Criminality, Ann Curry Thompson
IUSTITIA
Twentieth-century theories about female criminality are the weakest link in conventional criminology, representing the most conservative and unscientific thinking about human nature and social organization. Traditional thinking about female criminality reflects the general inability of conventional theorists to examine categories of sex, race, and class oppression as determined by the basic social structure of a particular society and as they relate to deviance and crime. The result has been that female deviance has been analyzed solely in light of assumptions about women's biological nature. Whether there is indeed something distinctive about female crime which can be explained apart from a …
