The PCL-R, PAI, and Rorschach as Predictors of Institutional Misconduct with Incarcerated Women
Managing the incarcerated population is the primary task within correctional settings. Using psychological assessment to predict institutional behavior, the psychologist has a unique set of skills essential to the management of prisoners. PCL-R, PAI, and Rorschach data were compared with institutional infractions (total, physical, verbal, non-aggressive) among 126 incarcerated women. Multiple binary logistic regression analyses were used which fo…

Praying to win: Reflections on the involvement of God in the outcomes of sport
This article applies to sport the question: to what extent is God involved in the outcomes of worldly affairs? It examines Lincoln Harvey's assertion that sport is one unique area of creation in which God has left the outcomes entirely up to us, as a 'liturgical celebration of our contingency'. Not entirely satisfied with this answer, I take up concepts from Kathryn Tanner's work to try to arrive at a solution wherein God's providential care over…
Foucault for Heisman: College Football and the Liturgies of Power
This essay attempts to give a new sort of answer to the question of whether or not sport and sports fandom are a religion through the work of Foucault on "power." Looking specifically at college football in North America, I examine the ways in which Foucault's different variations of power have and still do function within what we call "big-time" college football. I thus proffer that Foucault's oeuvre helps us to see the sport and religion questi…
Drones and Eucharist
In the post-9/11 world, the use of drone strikes has become a critical aspect of U.S. Military strategy in the War on Terror. While the ethics of drones have been argued from a theological perspective, this essay argues that a deeper, more theoretical understanding of drones is necessary in order to mount an adequate theological response. The author argues that the particular epistemological foundations by which drone strikes are justified must b…
Manifestos and the “two faces” of parties: Addressing both members and voters with one document
It is commonplace to see references to parties’ manifestos as their written issue “profiles,” and changes in such documents as constituting changes in the parties’ “images” or “identities,” with the latter terms often used interchangeably to capture the role of platforms. This article argues, however, that projection of a party’s “image” and its “identity” are two different functions for a manifesto, not just one, and that it is important for the…

Does Crime Pay? Issue Ownership, Political Opportunity, and the Populist Right in Western Europe
This article contributes to the vast literature concerning extreme right parties in Western Europe by examining the effects of crime on the electoral success of these parties. Utilizing theories of issue ownership and political opportunity, this article argues that populist right parties appeal to voters who feel a sense of physical and social insecurity because of higher levels of crime. This hypothesis is tested using a data set covering 18 Wes…
The New Urban Renewal: The Economic Transformation of Harlem and Bronzeville
Forms of Civil War Violence and Their Consequences for Future Public Health
Previous research concerning the relationship between conflict and public health finds that countries emerging from war face greater challenges in ensuring the well-being of their populations in comparison with states that have enjoyed political stability. This study seeks to extend this insight by considering how different civil war conflict strategies influence post-conflict public health. Drawing a distinction between deaths attributable to ba…
On the Waterfront: Retrospectives on the Relationship between Sport and Communities
Arguments for funding new professional sport stadia with public money center upon the notion of community-fans' connection with the teams and the money that teams bring into the community. Through the lens of community theorists like Wirth (1938, 1964), Bellah and colleagues (1985), and Putnam (2000), this paper locates the professional sport franchise within local community relations and analyzes the ways in which local elites attempt to evoke c…
