Mexican Money Laundering in the United States: Analysis and Proposals for Reform
This article explains some of the mechanisms through which corruption by high-level Mexican politicians and other organized crime members is facilitated in the United States through money laundering operations. The analysis is based on information contained in court records related to key money laundering cases, as well as in news articles and reports from law enforcement agencies. These materials highlight the interrelationships among U.S. drug …
Theory construction and data analysis
Data analysis should be neutral relative to theory construction in order to be unbiased. Data analysis should not strongly favor one form of theory construction over others. Traditional approaches to theory construction prioritize simplicity of explanation based on parsimony using a few prominent statistically significant variables. Alternative web of causation explanations prioritize comprehensive explanations based on complexity using many smal…

Civil Society and Public Journalism
In the past two decades, “civil society” has become a central organizing concept in the social sciences. Occupying the middle ground between the state and private life, the civil sphere encompasses everything from associations to protests to church groups to nongovernmental organizations. Interest in the topic exploded with the decline of statism in the 1980s and 1990s, and many of our current debates about politics and social policy are informed…
Boileau and ‘Longinus’ in Hölderlin's Sophokles-Anmerkungen
Hölderlin's translations of two tragedies of Sophocles, and the accompanying Anmerkungen, were completed in the years following his return from Bordeaux (1802–1804). This article considers the possibility that two French expressions occurring in the first section of the Anmerkungen zum Oedipus—namely “moyen” and “Transport”—both come from another translation of a Greek text: namely Boileau's translation (1674) of the treatise On the Sublime forme…

Rethinking the Role of African American Churches as Social Service Providers
African American churches have traditionally played significant roles in the advancement of African Americans. Evidence suggests, however, that African American churches have been slow in responding to recent calls for greater faith-based involvement in the social services arena through seeking grants from federal and state governments although they continue their traditional patterns of providing social welfare services. As African American chur…

Even Bernoulli might have been wrong: A comment on intuitions about sample size
The size of a sample is an essential concept of inferential statistics. The exact role of sample size is not entirely part of natural intuitions of either practitioners (Tversky and Kahneman, 1971) or of laypeople (Kahneman and Tversky, 1972). Recently, Sedlmeier and Gigerenzer (1997) proposed a framework that attempts to delineate the conditions under which sample size will (or will not) be appropriately used. We examine their proposed framework…

Working the Ritual: Professional Wedding Photography and the American Middle Class
This research examines what role the institutionalized structures and practices of professional wedding photography play in the ritual of the American middle-class wedding ceremony. The study, based primarily on ethnographic research, is grounded in particular strands of the relatively recent critical, cultural, and interdisciplinary research in mass communication. The theoretical framework for this study is generated from the disciplines of mass…
Hegemony in the Ideal: Wedding Photography, Consumerism, and Patriarchy
Photography involves much more than talented individuals producing snatches of reality in some sort of social vacuum. Rather, photographic images are negotiated interpretations of “reality” grounded in particular social and cultural contexts. This essay examines the consumerist and patriarchal ideologies framing the professional photography of formal weddings, and argues that the maintenance of such ideologies stems jointly from producer and cons…

Making sense of common sense: A framework for tracking hegemony
Aided by the concepts of such scholars as Gramsci and Althusser, Stuart Hall has constructed a rather hybrid form of Marxist theory concerning ideology and hegemony, a middle ground of sorts between structuralism and culturalism. Hall's intriguingly sophisticated and complex ideas concerning hegemony provide a useful theoretical beginning—a critical framework— that could be empowered by a theoretical fleshing out based on systematic, phenomenolog…

Testing Multivariate Partial, Semipartial and Bipartial Correlation Coefficients
Stressing the close resemblance between univariate and multivariate situations, it is shown that a proper test for a multivariate semipartial correlation being zero is given by the test for the corresponding partial correlation. No legitimate test seems to be available for bipartial correlations. The procedures proposed by Cohen (1982) and Timm and Carlson (1976) are not well-founded and, in the case of multivariate semipartial correlations, unne…

Partial Omega Squared for Anova Designs
The present paper is concerned with measuring the size of an effect for fixed effects factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) experimental designs. A brief review of the literature is provided, emphasizing the need to use such a measure in actual research. Measuring strength of effect is discussed in correlational terms, taking advantage of the linear model formulation for fixed effects ANOVA. It is concluded that a squared partial correlation bet…

Coefficient Alpha and the Reliability of Composite Measurements
Following a general approach due to Guttman, coefficient α is rederived as a lower bound on the reliability of a test. A necessary and sufficient condition under which equality is attained in this inequality and hence that α is equal to the reliability of the test is derived and shown to be closely related to the recent redefinition of the concept of parallel measurements due to Novick. This condition is then also shown to be closely related to t…
A Reliability Coefficient for Maximum Likelihood Factor Analysis
Maximum likelihood factor analysis provides an effective method for estimation of factor matrices and a useful test statistic in the likelihood ratio for rejection of overly simple factor models. A reliability coefficient is proposed to indicate quality of representation of interrelations among attributes in a battery by a maximum likelihood factor analysis. Usually, for a large sample of individuals or objects, the likelihood ratio statistic cou…
