Language, Culture, and Indigeneity: Reflections on their Interplay
Language encultures the speaker as subject and provides access to an identity that is grounded in frames of knowing and being. This paper gives an overview of Indigeneity in relation to language and culture from four different pathways: 1) language and self-preservation, 2) nonviolent means to communal well-being, 3) student narratives and agency, and 4) the forward gaze of conceptions of “abode” and “sojourn.” A reflection on the value of Indige…

Hong Sang-soo's Geuk-jang-jeon [ A Tale of Cinema ]: Redaction criticism and production analysis
Hong Sang-soo's Geuk-jang-jeon [A Tale of Cinema] (2005) consists of two clearly delineated accounts of a relationship drama, the second of which repeats elements (basic narrative, locations, lines of dialogue) from the first. Instead of comparing the two halves in a catch-as-catch-can way, the authors have employed two methodologically neutral analytical tools. First, a redaction critical analysis of the narratives reveals tendencies in the para…
Modeling utilitarian‐hedonic dual mediation (UHDM) in the purchase and use of games
Purpose It is assumed that consumers consume games to experience hedonic and utilitarian value. However, there is no conceptual model or empirical evidence that supports this hypothesis in the game context or clarifies whether these consumption values have dual mediated or individual effects. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to model the relationship between hedonic and utilitarian consumption and game purchase and usage. Design/methodo…

Securing Rights for Victims: A Process Evaluation of the National Crime Victim Law Institute's Victims' Rights Clinics
This book discusses how some clinics have won significant gains at the appellate and federal court levels concerning victim standing, the rights to be consulted and heard, and the right to privacy. Some have won significant victories in gaining standing for victims and expanding the definition of particular rights. Others are enjoined in the battle. But all have raised awareness of victims' rights in the justice system.

The Personality Assessment Inventory Borderline, Drug, and Alcohol Scales as predictors of overall performance in police officers: A series of exploratory analyses
Previous studies have established the utility of self-report personality inventories in the pre-employment screening of police officers. The present study therefore sought to explore the relationship between the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) Borderline, Drug, and Alcohol Scales and performance as a police officer. The PAI results of 632 police officers who took the test as part of pre-employment screening procedures were used in discrimi…

The Lure of Evil: Exploring Moral Formation on the Dark Side of Literature and the Arts
The moral potential of works of art, for good or ill, has been recognised from philosophical antiquity: on the assumption that the moral effects of art are invariably negative, Plato advised the exclusion of artists from any rationally ordered state. Arguably, however, the problem of the moral status of art has become yet more acute in contexts of post-Romantic and other modern artistic exploration of moral ambiguity, and even of some apparent co…

Community policing: Variations on the western model in the developing world
As countries in the developing world struggle to move from authoritarian policing to democratic policing, they have searched for models to adopt. This paper uses four case studies in Latin America and Africa to explore how the concept of community policing has been adapted to local environments. Our case studies reveal that efforts to introduce community policing in developing countries frequently run into serious difficulties, often hindered by …

Testing the race‐of‐institution effect on misreporting electoral behavior: A research note
This research note reports on an attempt to gain a greater understanding of voter misreporting. Is there a race-of-institution effect present in mail surveys that contributes to misreporting similar to the race-of- interviewer effect present in other survey techniques? To examine this research question a survey was developed. The research consisted of selecting two institutions (universities) within a southern U.S. city, one recognized as a "trad…

African-Americans are reported to be more critical of government services than others. However, a possible source of error reported in survey research is response bias due to what is commonly called the race-of-interviewer effect: black and white respondents giving differen…

Black Suicide and Social Support Systems: An Overview and Some Implications for Mental Health Practitioners
PREVIOUS RESEARCH SUGGESTS that because of the insulting effect of poverty and low socioeconomic status, blacks should be least likely to commit suicide.' By and large, this is true. But black men aged 18 to 29 do not conform to this expectation. Although suicide is not a leading cause of death among blacks, it is the third leading cause of death (after accidents and homicides) among black males in the 18 to 29 year age group. Young black men in …

Much of this literature concludes that the incidence of suicide, attendant depression, and alcohol and drug abuse among young blacks is, in a word, alarming. The lack of an empirical research tradition in the area of suicide generally, and s…
