Modern-Day Comfort Women: The U.S Military, Transnational Crime, And The Trafficking Of Women, Donna M. Hughes Dr. Aug 2007

Modern-Day Comfort Women: The U.S Military, Transnational Crime, And The Trafficking Of Women, Donna M. Hughes Dr.

Donna M. Hughes

The trafficking of women has been a lucrative moneymaker for transnational organized crime networks, ranking third, behind drugs and arms, in criminal earnings. The U.S. military bases in South Korea were found to form a hub for the transnational trafficking of women from the Asia Pacific and Eurasia to South Korea and the United States. This study, conducted in 2002, examined three types of trafficking that were connected to U.S. military bases in South Korea: domestic trafficking of Korean women to clubs around the military bases in South Korea, transnational trafficking of women to clubs around military bases in South …


Exploring The Literature On Relationships Between Gender Roles, Intimate Partner Violence, Occupational Status, And Organizational Benefits, Eileen Kwesiga, Myrtle Bell, Marshall Pattie, Angela Moe Dec 2006

Exploring The Literature On Relationships Between Gender Roles, Intimate Partner Violence, Occupational Status, And Organizational Benefits, Eileen Kwesiga, Myrtle Bell, Marshall Pattie, Angela Moe

Angela M. Moe

Studies of intimate partner violence (IPV) and work have been primarily conducted with women in low-wage low-status (LWLS) positions, as much of this research has focused on poverty, welfare, and homelessness. Although women in LWLS positions represent a large percentage of working women in the United States, it is also important to investigate experiences of women in high-wage high-status (HWHS) positions because a growing number of women are employed within such jobs. We propose gender role theory can be used to explain occurrences of IPV among women in HWHS positions and their utilization of organizational benefits. We suggest those in …


In Our Own Backyard: Methamphetamine Manufacturing, Trafficking And Abuse In Rural America, Kenneth Tunnell, Joseph Donnermeyer Dec 2006

In Our Own Backyard: Methamphetamine Manufacturing, Trafficking And Abuse In Rural America, Kenneth Tunnell, Joseph Donnermeyer

Kenneth Tunnell

The abuse of methamphetamine ( or meth) is dramatically evident in the "before and after" faces of meth arrestees. Yet these pictures provide only a glimpse of the larger personal, environmental, and community fallout from methamphetamine use and production, an issue that barely existed 15 years ago in rural America, but has since grown into a large more serious problem.

The Domestic Violence Experiences Of Women In Community Corrections, Rachel Bridges Whaley, Angela M. Moe, J. Mark Eddy, Jean Daugherty

Angela M. Moe

A variety of studies indicate high rates of domestic violence in the backgrounds of women offenders. We examine and extend this work through a qualitative study of women on probation or parole in a western U.S. county. In-depth interviews were conducted with 14 women who participated in a larger study in which only questionnaire data were collected. Participants completed a brief telephone interview about prior experiences of partner violence and then a face-to-face extensive in-person interview. In the analyses, several notable themes emerged regarding the women's histories of child victimization, partner abuse, substance abuse, coercion into crime, and a lack …


Jamais Deux Sans Trois: Principes Régissant Les Effets De La Récidive Sur La Peine Et La Libération Conditionnelle Dans Les Codes Pénaux Européens (French), Sacha Raoult Dec 2006

Jamais Deux Sans Trois: Principes Régissant Les Effets De La Récidive Sur La Peine Et La Libération Conditionnelle Dans Les Codes Pénaux Européens (French), Sacha Raoult

Sacha Raoult

This paper examines the general principles that guide the classical treatment of an offender's dangerousness in the criminal codes of sixteen European countries. It provides a review of the way in which each penal code deals with both multiple offenders and the terms of parole. There is substantial variety in the legal definitions and effect of recidivism, with some very strict criteria in place in some states. The same various degree of arbitrariness and lack of clear standards apply to the terms of parole. Though arbitrariness in the administering of these legal categories is common throughout Europe, it can be …


Silenced Voices And Structured Survival: Battered Women's Help-Seeking, Angela M. Moe Dec 2006

Silenced Voices And Structured Survival: Battered Women's Help-Seeking, Angela M. Moe

Angela M. Moe

Despite social and governmental responses to battering, many women continue to feel entrapped in abusive relationships. Using standpoint epistemology, this article examines the various aspects of help seeking, and the social and institutional responses to such efforts, through the narratives of 19 women in a domestic violence shelter. The findings are discussed with reference to Ptacek's social entrapment perspective and Gondolf and Fisher's survivor hypothesis, illustrating the socioeconomic and political context of the control tactics utilized by abusers and the structural impediments to battered women's successful help seeking.
