Post-motivational Progression and the Possibility of Aborting Protracted Crime
Of Athenians and Spartans: Profiles of freedom and enlightenment in the leadership styles of criminal justice academic administrators: An essay
The rhetoric of personal loyalty to superiors in criminal justice agencies

One must ask every man: Do you in all conscience believe that you can stand seeing mediocrity after mediocrity, year without being embittered?[1] In 1993 the Journal Criminal justice Ethics took a major step toward clarifying a topic which, despite its deep roots, has proven conceptually elusive. In the journal's winter/spring issue, several scholars were engaged to reflect on the hermeneutics of loyalty developed in George P. Fletcher's book Loy…

This can be attributed to three main factors: (a) an orthodox religio…
The Role of Shariah Law in Deterring Criminality in Saudi-Arabia
The author, who is Christian, had the unique opportunity of spending part of his sabbatical leave in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (December 20, 1983–March 11, 1984), where he pursued social and criminal justice research. For several weeks he travelled to many cities in the Kingdom. He had the privilege of meeting with numerous leaders in Islamic jurisprudence.

The Religionization of a Society: The Continuing Application of Shariah Law in Saudi Arabia
Judging the religiosity of individuals is difficult in itself, is often misleading, and is biblically condemned. Juding the religiosity of societies can be easier since in their aggregate, and in comparison with each other, a distinctive character of docility, of routine activities, and of effective social control can be discerned. Using crime rates as the main indicator, this article attempts to examine and explain the religiosity of the Saudi A…
