Role of agricultural competencies in shaping livelihood income among rural smallholder farmers in agricultural cooperatives in Tanzania
Does agri-investment decisions mediate the relationship between access to financial capital and livelihood outcomes among rural smallholder farmers in Tanzania? A PLS-SEM moderated mediation model
Livelihood outcomes denote improvements in overall wellbeing among rural smallholder farmers, anchored in access to financial capital. Despite increasing policy attention to financial inclusion, evidence on how access to financial capital translates into improved livelihood outcomes remains scarce. This study examined the influence of physical, economic, and digital access to financial capital on livelihood outcomes and agri-investment decisions …
The influence of structural social capital on livelihood outcomes of rural smallholder farmers in Tanzania
This study examines how structural social capital – bonding, bridging, and linking, affects rural smallholder farmers’ livelihood outcomes, considering the moderating effect of risk-taking behavior. Guided by social capital theory and the sustainable livelihood framework, the study positions Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Societies (AMCOS) as instrumental platforms for mobilizing resources and institutional support. An explanatory sequential …

He shows how programs differ when compensation is viewed essentially as welfare a…

The national pastime trade-off
From Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War to George W. Bush and the Iraq War, we can observe baseball's role in developing the American empire, first at home and then beyond US shores. From Albert Spalding and baseball's first world tour to Bud Selig and the World Baseball Classic, we can see the globalisation of America's national pastime, and baseball's missionary role in spreading the American dream. To maintain itself as the American national ga…

Who Learns from Service Learning
This article examines service learning in the Peace and Justice Studies Program at the University of San Francisco. The authors show that students who complete their two courses-Poverty, Homelessness, and the Urban Underclass as well as Field Experience-make significant contributions to the community service organizations they serve. Not only do their students learn, but the organizations benefit from the knowledge the students bring. Furthermore…

Peace review revisited
Violence is the answer
We U.S. Americans deplore violence. We're incensed by domestic incidents such as the bombings of the World Trade Center and the Oklahoma City federal building, and we even decry incidents abroad such as the recent bombings of an Israeli bus and the Paris subway. Likewise, we often lament having to live in the highly violent society the U.S. has generally become. But American society suffers from far more than its “illegitimate” violence, only a t…

A peace movement against crime
Mainstream law enforcement has met criminal violence with a massive barrage of official violence. We have a culture not only of violence, but also of violent solutions. We launch wars to solve our problems—in foreign lands or in our own streets. Wars on crime and drugs seem impressive, but besides failing, they are helping to create more victims than ever before
Taking crime seriously
Has victimology outlived its usefulness
Victims Still
The 1980s saw official crime policy in the United States shifting its focus from crime and criminals to victimization and victims. In this thought-provoking book, Robert Elias evaluates the effectiveness of this shift in policy and argues that victims have been politically manipulated for official objectives
Crime wars forgotten
Historically, U.S. crime policy has remained remarkably consistent, using “get tough” strategies to fight periodic crime wars. Apparently only wars will solve the problem. Yet, just as consistently, this policy has failed: Crime and violence continue unabated. Policymakers shun the systemic changes needed for taking crime seriously: undoing the adverse social conditions that generate most victimization. Obviously, policymakers would rather hide t…
Peace, war, and the media
Conflict and power
Several years ago, one of us attended a meeting hosted by a prominent personality, who was also one of the pioneers of conflict resolution. We had been called together to decide how to respond to disciplinary action that a nearby university had brought against one of its students. The student was being punished for demonstrating against a university policy that supported U.S. government repression and threats to the peace abroad. We wanted to mou…

The politics of victimization
Alienating the Victim
Criminal victimization and postvictimization experiences often affect victim attitudes negatively toward criminal justice and government. Victim‐compensation programs seek to improve those attitudes as well as to curb crime and repay victim losses. A few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of compensation plans in achieving their goals, and special attention is given herein to the programs' effects on attitudes. The research, done mostly in …
