The Empirical Case for Pretrial Risk Assessment Instruments
Pretrial risk assessment instruments are used in many jurisdictions to inform decisions regarding pretrial release and conditions. Many are concerned that the use of pretrial risk assessment instruments may be contributing to worsened, not improved, pretrial outcomes, including increased rates of pretrial detention and exacerbated racial disparities in pretrial decisions. These concerns have led prominent organizations to reverse their position o…

Limits of Prison Education
Regulating California's Prison Population
While many scholars and social commentators bemoan the rise of "mass incarceration" in the United States, few states have succeeded in significantly reducing prison populations. Fueled by systemic changes in penal codes, sentencing practices, and federal funding all designed to increase the use of imprisonment, most states have been unable to reverse the massive increase that has transpired over the past four decades. More alarming, there are few…

Alianzas sociales en América Latina
En América Latina y el Caribe está aún muy arraigada la idea de que las empresas deben dedicarse exclusivamente a las actividades económicas, mientras que el Estado, las organizaciones no gubernamentales o la Iglesia son las instituciones encargadas del bienestar social. Este libro presenta otro enfoque, con diferentes casos de colaboración entre el sector privado y organizaciones de la sociedad civil, donde las motivaciones privadas y la preocup…
Thinking About Prison Release and Budget Crisis in the Blue Grass State
The Risks and Needs of the Returning Prisoner Population
There is a growing interest in the threat posed by the increase in the number of prisoners released from prison each year. Some have argued that unless new services and programs are funded, the increasing waves of released prisoners will pose a major threat to public safety in general. This paper reexamines these and other issues and finds that a significant portion of released prisoners pose little if any threat to public safety and that the cur…

Kentucky is currently facing a severe budget crisis and is seeking ways to lower its prison and community corrections costs. This article focuses on our study of the prison and parole experience of men and women in Kentucky.

The following discussion includes: Kentucky's prison population continues to grow, parole fai…

Sexual transmission risk perceptions and behavioural correlates of HIV concentrations in semen
HIV transmission risk behaviours are related to perceived infectiousness and HIV-positive men who have undetectable blood viral loads may practise less protective behaviours.

Results showed significant associations between perceived risks for transmitting HIV, unprotected intercourse and viral…

Unwanted sexual experiences are associated with high‐risk sexual practices for HIV infection. The current study examined histories of unwanted sexual contact in childhood and adulthood in relation to HIV risk behavior in men who have sex with men. Men attending a large gay pride event in Atlanta, Georgia (N = 595) completed anonymous surveys measuring sexual history, substance use, sexual risk behavior, and symptoms of dissociation, trauma‐relate…
The Impact of `Three Strikes and You're Out
Over the past few years, over 24 states and Congress have passed legislation under the slogan of `three strikes and you're out'. As part of the general political thrust to mandate increasingly tougher prison terms for repeat offenders, this form of legislation seeks to ensure that habitual offenders receive the toughest sentence available to the state absent the death penalty - life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. In this article,…

Success and Failure in Junior High School
Attribution theory, which focuses on students’ beliefs about why they succeed or fail, has served as the interpretative framework for numerous studies of student motivation. Yet, the relevance of this research to educational practice has been questioned because most studies focus on college students’ reactions to hypothetical scenarios or contrived laboratory tasks. To address this problem, we employed a critical incident methodology in which jun…

Constructive response to failure in music
Within the past decade, researchers have made significant progress in understanding how and why students are motivated to learn. Little research, however, has examined motivation within music classrooms, despite indications that motivational responses to music and related arts classes may differ significantly from responses obtained in other school content areas. In the present study, the effects of attribution feedback for failure (ability, effo…
