Public Mass Murderers and Federal Mental Health Background Checks
The litany of public mass murders, from Aurora, Newtown, Charleston, Las Vegas, and Parkland to less well‐known incidents that occur yearly, has focused national attention on federally mandated mental health background checks of prospective gun purchasers. The call has been to put more gun‐disqualifying mental health records into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System database to prevent “deranged” murderers from buying guns and ru…

Gender Differences on the Road to Redemption
Redemption research examines how much time must pass after a criminal offense before an offender is considered “redeemed.” This study adds to redemption research by using a nationally representative sample from the United States to determine whether years to redemption found in prior research replicate and will be the first to determine whether there are gender differences. We also explore factors that influence who makes it to the redemption poi…
Social Organization as the Framework for Interpreting Demographic Measures of Urban Emigration among the Canela of South Central Maranhão, Brazil

Justice System Involvement Into Young Adulthood: Comparison of Adolescent Girls in the Public Mental Health System and in the General Population
We compared arrest onset and frequency and types of charges between a statewide cohort of adolescent girls in the public mental health system and girls of the same age in the general population to investigate important differences that could have policy or intervention implications. Girls in the public mental health system were arrested at earlier ages more frequently and were charged with more serious offenses than were girls in the general popu…

Name Rituals And Acts Of Feeling Among The KayapÓ (Mebengokre)
This article analyses great name rituals among the Gê‐speaking Kayapó (Mebengokre) of central Brazil. Ritual organization compels a temporal and spatial co‐ordination of exchanges between diverse categories of relations so that nuclear family ties are differentiated. As the fundamental site of this process of differentiation, the House undergoes various transformations in its organization during the ceremonial period and its centrality in Kayapó …
Indians, Markets, and Rainforests: Theory, Methods, Analysis

Age-Based Genders among the Kayapo
This chapter argues that age and gender should not be separated, in the sense that they are part of the same complex of ideas. Amazonian and Melanesian accounts generally concur on the inconstancy of gender imagery associated with the individual human body, whether male or female, throughout the life course. Following this, the chapter explores parallel patterns of maturation and gender, and, in general, body imagery that is similar in the region…

Megadevelopment, Environmentalism, and Resistance: The Institutional Context of Kayapó Indigenous Politics in Central Brazil
The role of the indigenous Kayapo in environmentalist movements that oppose large-scale development projects in the Amazon is described. The analytic focus is on the construction of environmentalism within the context of opposition to hydroelectric dams along the Xingu River. The changing pressures on the Kayapo and the effectiveness of their responses are shown to be related to successive changes in dominant political-economic relations within t…

Contracting Between Public Agencies and Private Psychiatric Inpatient Facilities
Purchasing human services through contracts with private providers has become an increasingly common practice over the past 20 years. Using data from a national survey of psychiatric inpatient facilities, this paper examines the extent to which psychiatric units in privately controlled general hospitals and private psychiatric specialty hospitals (N = 611) participate in contractual arrangements to provide services to governmental bodies. It also…
