Using a rapid review process to engage stakeholders, inform policy and set priorities for promoting physical activity and leisure participation for children with disabilities in British Columbia
Participation in physical and leisure activity opportunities is critical to the health and wellbeing of children. However, resources and policy interventions that can facilitate participation are usually limited for children with disabilities and their families. Decision-makers can benefit from research evidence to inform the development of programs and policies; however, academic research evidence is scarcely used to support participation for ch…
What is Public? Big Questions Emerging from the Clash of Legal and Policy Paradigms
This article draws on three main sources to define the constitutional boundaries for outsourcing public goods and services in the age of new governance: (1) public administration research related to public–private distinctions; (2) Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76, federal policy on “inherently governmental” functions; and (3) the State Action Doctrine, the judiciary’s approach for distinguishing state actors from non-state act…
The Civic Dimension of School Voucher Programs
America’s public schools have not been exempt from the movement to privatization and contracting out that has characterized government innovations over at least the past quarter century. A number of the issues raised by school voucher programs mirror the management and efficacy questions raised by privatization generally. However, because public education is often said to be “constitutive of the public,” using tax dollars to send the nation’s chi…
Electoral Integrity: How Gerrymandering Matters
Gerrymandering (partisan redistricting) is widely believed to deprive citizens of meaningful participation in the democratic process. It is seen as an obvious conflict of interest because there is ample evidence that lawmakers use redistricting to protect both their personal electoral prospects and their party’s legislative advantages. The impression that an inherent conflict of interest occurs when legislators determine the composition of the po…

Peer education for advance care planning: Volunteers’ perspectives on training and community engagement activities
Background Peer education by volunteers may aid attitudinal change, but there is little understanding of factors assisting the preparation of peer educators. This study contributes to conceptual understandings of how volunteers may be prepared to work as peer educators by drawing on an evaluation of a training programme for peer education for advance care planning (ACP). Objectives To report on volunteers’ perspectives on the peer education train…
Civic Literacy and Ethical Public Service: An Underappreciated Nexus
A copious literature on ethical public service addresses various topics, such as the teaching of ethics, the effect of contracting out, the consequences of marketization, and the diminishing concern for the public good. Less attention has been paid to the nexus between ethical behavior and American constitutional values. This commentary explores the research connecting constitutional competence to ethical public service, and concludes that ethica…
A Very Tangled Web: Public and Private Redux
A recent Indiana Court of Appeals ruling raises significant concerns about the continuing erosion of the line between public and private, and the proliferation of the “unintended consequences” that flow from sectoral blurring. The authors use that case to introduce a broader discussion of the merits and drawbacks of public–private contracting, and the challenges in distinguishing among organizational types in an era that has seen considerable ove…
Public and Nonprofit Management and the “New Governance”
Many public functions originally performed primarily by state actors now routinely rest not with the responsible government agencies but with a host of nongovernmental, third-party surrogates or proxies. There has also been an increase in partnerships and collaboration between nonprofits, corporations, and governments, necessitating new skills and competencies for public and nonprofit leaders alike. The authors summarize the literature on these i…

Privatization And Prayer: The Challenge of Charitable Choice
The “Charitable Choice” provisions of 1996 welfare reform legislation inaugurated a policy debate that continues with President George W. Bush’s “faith-based initiative.” Proponents of greater religious involvement in social service provision argue that faith-based organizations have untapped resources, have encountered unnecessary barriers to participation, and are more effective than are government or secular contractors. Opponents note the abs…
Snake oil, ethics, and the first amendment: What's a profession to do
Snake oil, ethics and the first amendment: What's a profession to do
This article considers the appropriate legal and ethical response to those whose advocacy of "alternative" or unvalidated therapies places people at risk of harm. What are our professional responsibilities with respect to such advocacy, and what sorts of harm will justify government intervention?
Government Shekels without Government Shackles? The Administrative Challenges of Charitable Choice
As President Bush plans to expand “Charitable Choice,” civil libertarians worry that the legislation is part of a new assault on separation of church and state. Religious Right activists demand assurances that funds will not flow to groups like the Nation of Islam or Scientologists. African American pastors in urban areas—arguably the main targets of the initiative—are concerned that “government shekels” will be accompanied by “government shackle…
A prolegomenon on restraint of children: Implicating constitutional rights
News media and advocacy groups have brought to public attention a disturbing number of recent deaths proximal to the use of physical restraints. This paper examines the evidence indicating that use of these procedures can be dangerous to patients; explores the theoretical basis and practical application of restraints; and argues not only that their use may be unethical as a therapeutic intervention, but that it may have constitutional implication…
Public-Private Partnerships, Professional Sports Teams and the Protection of the Public’s Interests
Across the past 15 years, governments have invested more than $10 billion in the playing facilities used by professional sports teams to produce a set of tangible and intangible benefits. Too often, after making substantial commitments, communities receive new demands for increased subsidies. If these increasing demands are not satisfied, teams frequently move to other cities. Taxpayers and sports fans are then left with unused facilities, debt o…
