Juvenile Victims Of Property Crimes., David Finkelhor, Richard Ormrod
Juvenile Victims Of Property Crimes., David Finkelhor, Richard Ormrod
Crimes Against Children Research Center
Property crime is the most frequent kind of criminal victimization and one with important economic and psychological consequences, although it has not received the same public attention as violent crime in recent years. Property crime victimization rates are much higher for juveniles than for adults, but very little attention has been paid to property crimes against juveniles or the particular features that characterize these crimes. This Bulletin tries to fill this gap by examining the characteristics of property crimes against juveniles. It uses crime information from the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) for 1996–97 and the National Incident-Based Reporting System …
The Douglas County Drug Court: A Comparison Of Recidivism Rates Between Drug Court Participants And Traditionally Adjudicated Drug Offenders, Erika Davis Frenzel
The Douglas County Drug Court: A Comparison Of Recidivism Rates Between Drug Court Participants And Traditionally Adjudicated Drug Offenders, Erika Davis Frenzel
Student Work
Over the years there have been large increases in the number of drug offenders arrested, prosecuted, and sentenced to prison. These increases have lead to an overload of the criminal justice system. This overload prompted states to develop new responses to substance use and drug-related crime. One such innovation is the drug treatment court, which combines accountability and treatment. The goal of these courts is to reduce recidivism and substance use among drug-involved criminal offenders. This study uses data from Douglas County (Nebraska) to compare recidivism rates for participants in the Douglas County Drug Court and traditionally adjudicated drug offenders. …

An Evaluation Of Recidivism Rates For Resolutions Northwest's Victim-Offender Mediation Program, Karin Jewel Stone
Dissertations and Theses
Victim-offender mediation, a component of restorative justice, has been a valuable tool for rehabilitating juvenile offenders since the late 1970s. Victim offender mediation brings crime victims and offenders together to reach agreements for restitution and community healing. Resolutions Northwest, a non-profit organization in Multnomah County, offers a victim-offender mediation program to juvenile offenders and their victims.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the recidivism rates for juvenile offenders who went through Resolutions Northwest's victim-offender mediation program as opposed to offenders who went through the traditional justice system. It was hypothesized that the participants in this program would have …

Alternatives To Incarceration For Substance Abusing Female Defendants/Offenders In Massachusetts, 1996-1998, Carol Hardy-Fanta, Sylvia Mignon
Publications from the Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy
In July 1997, the Massachusetts State Legislature, recognizing the challenge presented by the problem of substance abuse for women in the criminal justice system, authorized funds to the Department of Public Health’s Bureau of Substance Abuse Services for a study of substance using female offenders to be conducted by the John W. McCormack Institute at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Since March 1998, a group of researchers at the McCormack Institute and the Criminal Justice Center at UMass Boston has gathered and analyzed a wealth of quantitative and qualitative information on women offenders in Massachusetts.

Juvenile Gangs In Schools: Characteristics, Causes, And Possible Solutions, Gordon A. Crews
Criminal Justice Faculty Research
The purpose of this seminar is to acquaint participants with the ever-changing characteristics, often conflicting issues of causation, and various proposed solutions to the myriad of problems associated with gangs in schools. Special attention is given to the evolving nature of gangs in K-12 educational institutions (e.g., new types of juvenile groups developing and their associated behavior). Traditional subjects such as gang recruitment, initiation, and criminal activity are examined by discussing the many ways they manifest themselves in the school setting. Finally, a conceptual framework is presented by which a school can identify, understand, and begin to address a potential …

Kidnaping Of Juveniles: Patterns From Nibrs., David Finkelhor, Richard Ormrod
Kidnaping Of Juveniles: Patterns From Nibrs., David Finkelhor, Richard Ormrod
Crimes Against Children Research Center
The kidnaping of children has generated a great deal of public concern, not to mention confusion and controversy. These crimes, from the kidnaping of the Lindbergh baby to the abduction and murder of Adam Walsh, have been some of the most notorious and highly publicized news stories of recent history, occupying a central place in the fears and anxieties of parents. Yet, an ongoing debate has raged over how frequently such crimes occur, which children are most at risk, and who the primary offenders are.
The Antecedents Of Organized Criminality In Kentucky, Gary W. Potter
The Antecedents Of Organized Criminality In Kentucky, Gary W. Potter
Kentucky Justice and Safety Research Bulletin
This Kentucky Justice & Safety Research Bulletin examines the antecedents of modern-day organized crime in Kentucky. The question to be addressed is whether the genesis of organized crime in a predominately rural, southern state, such as Kentucky, follows well-established patterns of development found in historically analyses of Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, and other north-eastern and midwestern locales. This question is addressed by an examination of primary and secondary historical data sources relevant to early forms of organized crime. The research concludes that while Kentucky exhibited strikingly different forms of economic, socal and political organization compared to northeastern and midwestern locales, …

Uncleared Homicides: A Canada/United States Comparison, Wendy C. Regoeczi, Leslie W. Kennedy, Robert A. Silverman
Uncleared Homicides: A Canada/United States Comparison, Wendy C. Regoeczi, Leslie W. Kennedy, Robert A. Silverman
Sociology & Criminology Faculty Publications
Beginning in the 1960s, there has been a marked decline in clearance rates of homicides, a finding that has generated little interest among criminological researchers. This article presents a comparative analysis of homicide clearance in Canada and the United States using data generated by the Canadian Centre of Justice Statistics and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation's Supplementary Homicide Reports. Using logistic regression, homicide clearance is predicted on the basis of specific victim and offense characteristics for cases in Canada versus the United States and in Ontario versus New York State. The results indicate that the model is a good …
Law Enforcement Professionalization: The Accreditation Of Law Enforcement, Angel D. Geoghagan
Law Enforcement Professionalization: The Accreditation Of Law Enforcement, Angel D. Geoghagan
Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Rapid social change has led many law enforcement agencies to explore various options that would serve to enhance service delivery, department credibility within communities, and overall professionalism. From a historical perspective, professionalism has been an elusive state for law enforcement agencies ever since the inception of the first police department. A search for such professionalism has taken a turn toward accreditation. Accreditation for law enforcement was studied to determine if the process enhanced the perceived level of credibility and professionalism enjoyed by police departments in the southeastern states of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Three hundred …

Enjoy The Donut: A Regulatory Response To The White Paper On Preventing Invasion Of The Great Lakes By Exotic Species, Sandi Zellmer
Nebraska College of Law: Faculty Publications
The adverse economic and environmental consequences associated with the invasion and establishment of exotic species have raised significant concerns among the Great Lakes community. In September 1999, the International Joint Commission (IJC) hosted a workshop on exotic policy, drawing upon the expertise of biologists, lawyers and public officials, to consider means of preventing exotic species invasions. The White Paper on Policies for the Prevention of the Invasion of the Great Lakes by Exotic Organisms served as the centerpiece for discussion at the workshop.
The White Paper concludes that economic initiatives, such as subsidies or taxation, would be the most viable …
