Influence of religiosity and studying law on college students’ punitive attitudes in China
A number of studies in the United States examine the impact of religiosity on attitudes towards various types of criminal sanctioning. Research seems to indicate that more conservative denominations and faiths have a more punitive preference for criminal sanctions. Previous studies have also examined these attitudes between criminal justice and non-criminal justice students. While this area of inquiry has drawn attention in the United States, onl…

Crime, Broken Windows Theory of
Social psychologists use the term broken windows to signify the characteristics of neighborhood deterioration. They argue that if a broken window in a building or in a car is left untended, other signs of disorder will increase. Wilson and Kelling (1982) suggest that an unrepaired broken window is a signal that no one cares for the neighborhood. They argued further that if the window is left broken, it can lead to more serious crime problems
Female Police Officers' Job-Related Attitudes: A Comparative Study of Taiwan and the United States

Using interview and survey data collected from two Taiwanese and two American police departments, this research assesses Taiwanese and American female officers' attitudes toward co-workers, promotion, and citizens. The findings show that Taiwanese f…
