A Comparative Analysis of Human Trafficking
Human trafficking is a serious global problem that transcends international borders and disciplinary boundaries. It presents a conglomeration of problems generally dealt with by public health, criminal justice, social service and immigration agencies. Victim advocates state that millions are victimized each year. The data suggest that law enforcement agencies perceive human trafficking to be of greater, or equal, concern for the myriad of social …
Epidemiological Criminology
Members of the public health and criminal justice disciplines often work with marginalized populations: people at high risk of drug use, health problems, incarceration, and other difficulties. As these fields increasingly overlap, distinctions between them are blurred, as numerous research reports and funding trends document. However, explicit theoretical and methodological linkages between the 2 disciplines remain rare. A new paradigm that links…
Academic Integrity and Distance Learning
The latest trend in academia has been the rapid and large growth of online or distance learning courses. There are numerous benefits both for students as well as for the institutions. Despite the increasing reliance on this pedagogy, little research attention has focused on the potential for academic dishonesty. This study surveyed 1,262 students at a large, state‐funded university and examined the prevalence of cheating in traditional lecture co…
A pedagogical aid for linking methodological and statistical courses
A critical component in teaching research methods and statistics is linking the data collection with data analysis in such a way that students are engaged and encouraged. Using a strategy congruent with Greek's “active learning” (1995) and Chernak and Weiss's “activity-based learning” (1999), this paper outlines a heuristic mechanism that involves students with data collection, analysis, and utilization of 5 different software programs. To illust…

An Evolutionary Typology of Women Police Officers
Based on exploratory research, a conceptual scheme is presented which is useful for understanding and characterizing women police officers. Using observational techniques and semi-structured interviews, data were collected from 20 female officers over 18 months in 5 police departments in the United States. Categorical typologies are presented which were developed cognizant of various tensions facing female officers and the differential coping str…
An empirical assessment of the Aids Risk Reduction Model (ARRM) employing ordered probit analyses
Applying computer simulation to forecast homicide rates
Comparison of Aids knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors among incarcerated adolescents and a public school sample in San Francisco
Data collected from incarcerated youth (n = 113) and a public school sample (n = 802) demonstrate that both adolescent groups have a high level of AIDS knowledge. Incarcerated youth are less aware of HIV risk-reduction behaviors and report markedly higher rates of HIV risk behaviors. Incarcerated youth are at substantially increased risk of HIV infection relative to their school-based counterparts and should be a primary target of HIV prevention …
