Caring To Death: Health Care Professionals And Capital Punishment, Cary H. Federman, Dave Holmes
Department of Justice Studies Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works
The aim of this article is to describe the role of health care professionals in the capital punishment process. The relationship between the protocol of capital punishment in the United States and the use of health care professionals to carry out that task has been overlooked in the literature on punishment. Yet for some time, the operation of the medical sciences in prison have been `part of a disciplinary strategy' `intrinsic to the development of power relationships'. Many capital punishment statutes require medical personnel to be present at, if not actively involved in, executions. Through analyses of these statutes, show …

Context: Despite drops in U.S. teenage birthrates, questions continue to arise about how best to reduce the country's adolescent birthrate. School-based programs continue to be considered one of the best ways to reach adolescents at risk of early sexual activity.
Methods: A total of 312 students completed a pretest, a posttest and a follow-up one year after the posttest: 125 who had participated in a 3-4-month-long abstinence-based small-group intervention led by trained social workers, and 187 in a comparison group that received no special services.
Results: There were few significant differences between the intervention and comparison groups at posttest. At …
Types Of Morphemes And Their Implications For Second Language Morpheme Acquisition, Longxing Wei
Types Of Morphemes And Their Implications For Second Language Morpheme Acquisition, Longxing Wei
Department of Linguistics Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works
This paper explains observed morpheme accuracy orders on the basis ofa model of morpheme classification,the 4-M model proposed by Myers-Scotton and Jake(2000). It argues that the adult second language morpheme acquisition order is determined by how morphemes are projected from the mental lexicon. Four types of morphemes are identified: content morphemes,early system morphemes, and two types of late system morphemes. Early system morphemes are indirectly elected at the same time that content morphemes are directly elected by the speaker's intentions. Late system morphemes are activated later in the production process as required by the grammatical frame of the target language. …
A Benefit-Cost Analysis Of Syringe Exchange Programs, Robert Reid
A Benefit-Cost Analysis Of Syringe Exchange Programs, Robert Reid
Department of Family Science and Human Development Scholarship and Creative Works
To date, a paucity of systematic economic evaluations have been applied to syringe exchange programs. In today's cost-conscious environment, with public health officials contending with restricted HIV prevention budgets, what amount of scarce resources should be allocated toward the operation of SEPs? To address this question, benefit-cost analyses emerge as useful strategies to inform decision-makers about which programs hold the most promise for preventing HIV infection among intravenous drug users. This review article balances the benefits of HIV prevention via syringe exchange against the costs of operating such programs.
