Suicidal behaviours among adults living with cancer in Ghana: Prevalence and associated risk factors
This study reveals a high prevalence of suicidal behaviours among cancer patients, with many reporting suicidal ideation, attempts, and plans. Socio-demographic factors, including age, sex, educational level, income, occupational status, and marital status, were linked to higher suicide risk. To achieve SDG 3, particularly Target 3.4 (promoting mental health and well-being) and Target 3.8 (ensuring universal health coverage), the Ghana Health Ser…
Schooling as a White Good
Schooling in the United States has never been a public good, nor has “the public good” been its primary goal. Since its origins in the early nineteenth century, schooling has been a white good, designed to promote white advantage. Three mechanisms, among many, have been key to this process: the relationship of schooling to place, the knowledge that schools impart, and the hobbling of brown and Black children. Insofar as schooling has approached b…
Hobbling: The Effects of Proactive Policing and Mass Imprisonment on Children's Education
Researchers have written a good deal in the last two decades about the relationship between public education and criminal justice as a pipeline by which public school practices correlate with or cause increased lifetime risk for incarceration for Black and Latinx youth. This article flips the script of the school-to-prison pipeline metaphor by reversing the question. What are the effects of criminal justice on public schooling? Reviewing recent s…
Does the law recognize legal socialization
Since its emergence as a coherent field of study a half century ago, legal socialization has moved to the forefront of conversations about legal reform across multiple fields. Amidst all this work, however, there is surprisingly little scholarship on an obvious, but understudied question: Does the law itself recognize legal socialization? Knowing whether, and how, American law recognizes its need to legally socialize the citizenry toward democrat…
The Art of Coining Christians: Indians and Authority in the Iconography of British Atlantic Colonial Seals, 1606–1767
Between the founding of Jamestown in 1606 and the conclusion of the Seven Years’ War, images of Indigenous men and women rose and fell on the great seals of the British Atlantic colonies. At the peak of this process, “the Indian” was the most persistent seal icon save for that of the arms and image of the monarch himself. This essay traces the sigillary Indian's illustrious career, as evolving imperial structures and legal debates about the natur…
American public education: Race, religion, and illusion
Teaching Teachers: Changing Paths and Enduring Debates
Over the last thirty years, the United States has seen a massive shift in how public school teachers are trained. Once trusted in the hands of universities, teacher preparation has become a wild West of providers—boutique and behemoth; public, private, and for-profit; online, in-person, and in residence; from high quality to highly suspicious. In Teaching Teachers James W. Frasier and Lauren Lefty have given us the first full, nonpolemical policy…
Bringing Montessori to America: S. S. McClure, Maria Montessori, and the Campaign to Publicize Montessori Education
Between 1910 and 1915, Maria Montessori and her child-centered pedagogy streaked across the American educational horizon like a shooting star. Popular magazines and newspapers hailed “La Dottoressa” as a genius; notable celebrities and philanthropists lined up behind her American lecture tour; middle-class parents flocked to purchase her educational materials for their children; and even the U.S. Education Commissioner gave a tepid endorsement (p…

How the Criminal Justice System Educates Citizens
There are at least two central pathways through which the modern democratic state interacts with citizens: public school systems and criminal justice systems. Rarely are criminal justice systems thought to serve the educational function that public school systems are specifically designed to provide. Yet for an increasing number of Americans, the criminal justice system plays a powerful and pervasive role in providing a civic education, in antici…
The Founding Fathers, Education, and "The Great Contest"
Leading historians provide new insights into the founding generation's views on the place of public education in America. This volume explores enduring themes, such as gender, race, religion, and cent
The Bible, the School, and the Constitution: The Clash That Shaped Modern Church-State Doctrine
Until recently, partisans in contemporary battles over vouchers for attendance at Catholic schools have dominated popular historical scholarship on religion and public education. A simplistic ethnocultural conflict framework, in which nineteenth-century anti-Catholicism drove the development of nonsectarian public schooling, has prevailed. Hence, Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas could inaccurately declare in his 2000 Mitchell v. Helms opinio…
When the Army Got Progressive: The Civil Affairs Training School at Stanford University, 1943–1945
They sat in the Cubberley Education Lecture Hall to hear visiting experts. More often they could be found meeting in reduced-size classes, or working on small-group activities. They usually took notes; sometimes they took field trips. They memorized lists and sat for exams, but they also watched films and acted out scenarios. Rather than take regular courses in the disciplines, they studied an integrated curriculum referred to as “Area Relationsh…
Education at the End of a Gun: The Origins of American Imperial Education in the Philippines
Uncle Sam looms aggressively into the frame, palms extended, making an offer that cannot be refused. A soldier or a teacher? A disparate group of Filipinos stands in the other corner—smaller, lower, proud but indecisive. Their leader, an Orientalized depiction of the Filipino revolutionary leader Emilio Aginaldo, considers the intruders. The hand upon his chin supports an infinite frown. "Take your choice," says Uncle Sam. "I have plenty of both.…
The Great Contest”: The American Philosophical Society Education Prize of 1795 and the Problem of American Education
In 1795 America’s preeminent scholarly organization sponsored a contest for the best essay on education. The two winners have been canonized in the scholarship on early American educational thought. This essay refocuses attention on the great contest itself, not only seeking understanding of the works that it produced but also analyzing its intrinsic significance in American educational thought. While the great contest was a failure in its day, t…
Thomas Nast and the Public School of the 1870s
In the decade and a half after the Civil War, the American public school rose and fell as a central issue in national and state politics. After a relative calm on matters of education during and immediately after the War, the Republican Party and Catholic Church leaders in the late 1860s and early 1870s joined a bitter battle of words over the future of public education-who should control it, how should it be financed, and what should it teach ab…
A College of Morals: Educational Reform at San Quentin Prison, 1880-1920
Since the early nineteenth century, the idea of American prisons, like the idea of common schools, has reflected a faith in public institutions for effecting social reform through individual transformation. With this goal in mind, penal theory has been a type of educational theory, making a systematic, sustained effort to “correct” the behavior and ideas of inmates. What has set penal theory apart from educational theory—and prisons apart from sc…
Why Do Women Treated for Breast Cancer Report Good Health despite Disease or Disability? A Pilot Study
Few studies have explained the basis on which people with acknowledged physical pathology or disability report good self-perceived health. This limited qualitative study of 13 women identified two common pathways to subjective health taken by women treated for breast cancer, each involving a shift in emphasis from being healthy physically to being whole emotionally, relationally, or spiritually
Making Behavioral Change the Outcome Measure in Research on Violence
While changes in scores on anger and aggression as measured on psychological tests may result from violence prevention programs in prisons and schools, they do not demonstrate what effect, if any, there is on rates of violent behavior. A shift toward behavior as the primary outcome measure is called for
Child Abuse and the Law: How to Avoid Being the Abused or the Abuser
When treating child abuse cases, especially those involving the judicial or legal system, psychotherapists often end up as Persecutors, Rescuers, or Victims on the Drama Triangle (Karpman, 1968). T
Evidence Fails to Support More Punishment as Remedy for Childhood Violence
Insisting that more punishment will produce more justice for children who are "victims of violence" at the hands of other children overlooks the fact that discipline should also change behavior. Evidence indicates that abandonment of mediation and "nonjudicial" methods in favor of stronger "police forces" for children is ill-advised. There is support for Purkey's (1990) conclusion that there is no "one-best method." How students respond to any st…

Family Environment Factors Associated with Child Abuse
Stress is consistently implicated in the etiology of child abuse. However, stress alone does not explain abuse, because many parents experiencing stress do not respond by abusing their children. Straus (4) and Justice (I), for example, have identified various psychosocial variables that mediate the response of abuse to stress. A family systems approach to child abuse contends that abuse is a function of the transactions between the parent and the…

Life Events, Psychological Distress and Social Functioning
This study investigated the relationship between stressful life events and social as well as psychological functioning. Stress in the lives of 39 subjects being admitted to the adult outpatient clinics at a large mental health center was measured by the Social Readjustment Rating Scale. Social and psychological functioning was measured by the Denver Community Mental Health Questionnaire and the Mini-Mult, an abbreviated form of the Minnesota Mult…
Judges' Views of Child Abuse: A Survey of Attitudes and Experience
Although judges most often make the final decision in cases of child abuse, the literature is relatively silent as to what they believe to be true about child abuse and neglect. From 224 district judges in the State of Texas, 36%, or 82, returned a 50-item questionnaire reasonably complete. The responses of these judges agreed with many major constructs in the literature on child abuse, but there were a number of important areas, e.g., family pat…
Sex Differences in Psychological Distress and Social Functioning
This study assessed sex differences in psychological and social problems and symptoms among 58 male and 84 female clients newly admitted to a large community mental health center. Instruments were the Denver Community Mental Health Questionnaire, an abbreviated version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, and the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale. The results indicated that women present problems of psychological distress and men repor…

Isolation and Psychosocial Functioning
The subject of this study is the relationship between social isolation from family and from friends and social functioning, personality characteristics, and symptomatology. Social isolation from family and from friends of 142 subjects being admitted to the adult out-patient and in-patient services at a large mental health facility was measured by two scales of the Denver Community Mental Health Questionnaire. Level of social functioning, personal…

Social Correlates of Psychological Dysfunction
The relations among various social factors and psychological dysfunctioning as measured by the Denver Community Mental Health Questionnaire and the Mini-Mult were based on responses from 142 subjects admitted to the adult outpatient and inpatient services at a large community mental health center. Most significant correlations were found between psychological dysfunctioning and interpersonal isolation from friends, drug abuse, and lack of product…
