Leveraging the Arts to Address and Elevate Vaccine Confidence
Despite pronounced disparities in COVID-19 cases and mortality among communities of color in the United States, and vaccines being a potentially lifesaving prevention measure, vaccination rates are still lower among racial minorities, especially Black people, compared to White people. Reasons such as distrust in the U.S. government and healthcare system underlie vaccine deliberation, which contributes to low vaccine uptake among Black people. The…
Explaining public support for body-worn cameras in law enforcement
Public opinion surveys have clearly demonstrated broad support for the use of body-worn cameras (BWC’s) in law enforcement. Despite clear evidence of broad support, the factors that contribute to this support remain unclear. The current study uses data from a public opinion survey of policing in a mid-sized urban city to examine factors significantly related to public support for requiring police officers to wear cameras. Ordinal logistical regre…
The Politics of Symbolic Laws
Sex offender residence restrictions are largely symbolic laws that address constituent demands to do something about sex crimes without actually reducing sex offenses. While the majority of US states have implemented such restrictions, this exploratory study examines three states that have resisted the allure of these symbolic laws. Using data from state government archives, we analyze expressive and instrumental rationales for rejecting residenc…
Contextualizing Community Crime Control
Criminology and urban sociology have long‐standing interests in how neighborhoods and communities respond to and control crime. We build on the literature on social disorganization, collective efficacy, and new parochialism to develop a framework that explains how and why communities respond differently to crime. We draw on more than 2 years of comparative ethnographic data and 56 resident and stakeholder interviews on responses to crime in four …
Constructing Hysteria
Sexually violent predator (SVP) statutes define some sex offenders as dangerous enough to be segregated from society, but then require their release into local communities. This article examines how decision makers and community members interpret and respond to this inherent contradiction during disputes over SVP placements. The article departs from traditional moral panic explanations of reactions to sex offenders by linking literature on local …
Assessing stereotypes of adolescent rape
The Sequence of the Human Genome
A 2.91-billion base pair (bp) consensus sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome was generated by the whole-genome shotgun sequencing method. The 14.8-billion bp DNA sequence was generated over 9 months from 27,271,853 high-quality sequence reads (5.11-fold coverage of the genome) from both ends of plasmid clones made from the DNA of five individuals. Two assembly strategies—a whole-genome assembly and a regional chromosome assembl…
Video conferencing applications in social work
Video conferencing is a technology that facilitates the provision of high quality education, health-care and consultation to clients and families served by rural area health professionals via visual and audio transmissions. It also plays an important role in the education, and training of rural health professionals and the development of a multidisciplinary team dialogue between rural and metropolitan partners. This paper describes our experience…
Evaluation of Single Subject Data Using Statistical Hypothesis Tests versus Visual Inspection of Charts With and Without Celeration Lines
The accuracy of visual analysis of single subject charts with and wilhout celeration lines was compared. A Monte Carlo simulation was used to create five types of AB design charts: (I) a flat (zero slope) baseline with no systematic change in intervention phase, (II) a flat baseline followed by a one standard deviation increase in level in intervention phase, (III) an ascending baseline with intervention phase responses following the baseline pha…
