Labour market trends in South Africa in 2009–19
While the South African labour market showed some signs of improvement in the 2000s with unemployment rate gradually dropping to as low as 22.7% at the end of 2007, things unfortunately turned downhill in 2009–19 (sometimes referred to as the ‘lost decade’). Using the 2009 and 2019 Quarterly Labour Force Survey data, this study derived descriptive statistical estimates on labour force, employment and unemployment; the empirical findings suggested…
Trayvon Martin
To address a critical gap in the social work literature, this article examines the deleterious effects of racial profiling as it pertains to police targeting of male African Americans. The authors use the Trayvon Martin court case to exemplify how racial profiling and black male stigma help perpetuate social inequality and injustice for black men. A racism-centered perspective is examined historically and contemporarily as a theoretical approach …

When in the Course of Human Events
Using primary documents from both foreign and domestic observers, prominent scholar Charles Adams makes a powerful and convincing case that the Southern states were legitimately exercising their political rights as expressed in the Declaration of Independence when they seceded from the United States. Although conventional histories have taught generations of Americans that this was a war fought for lofty moral principles, Adams' eloquent history …

Commercial fishing revenue losses under harvest restrictions
The red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) was effectively removed from Florida's near‐shore commercial fishery in January 1989. Fishing revenue losses may be mitigated through redirection of effort from the restricted species to other unrestricted species. A revenue Junction is specified for two time periods over which two different harvest regulations for red drum were effective. The empirical results indicate that fishermen were able to compensate for…
