Forced Sexual Intercourse in Intimate Relationships
Published in 1997. Literature is reviewed relating to those behaviours which have traditionally been referenced as date rape, acquaintance rape, or rape by a friend or someone known to the victim. Forced sexual intercourse in intimate relationships is placed in both an historical context and a conceptual context. Limited published and unpublished data from the authors research are included in appropriate chapters. The theory chapter ends with the…
A Multilevel Analysis of Individual, Household, and Neighborhood Correlates of Intimate Partner Violence Among Low-Income Pregnant Women in Jefferson County, Alabama
Objectives. We examined individual, household, and neighborhood correlates of intimate partner violence (IPV) before and during pregnancy. Methods. We used multilevel modeling to investigate IPV among 2887 pregnant women in 112 census tracts who sought prenatal care in 8 public clinics in Jefferson County, Alabama, from 1997 through 2001. Data were collected from the Perinatal Emphasis Research Center project, the 2000 Census, and the local Sheri…
Police officer attitudes toward community policing
We examined police officer attitudes toward community policing over a 19‐month period. Patrol officers' and investigators' attitudes toward community policing are less favorable toward community policing concepts, programming, decentralization of substations, and the community policing unit than senior command and, in some cases, sergeants. Both patrol and investigators indicate strained relationships with supervisors and are more supportive of a…

Perceptions of Offender Motivation in Unwanted Aggressive Sexual Advances
A study designed to examine aspects of perceptions of college students regarding date rape collected data from a randomly selected sample of students from a campus in the southern United States. The levels of rape and date rape, while still substantial, were less than had been anticipated. In addition, the subjects' perceptions of the motivation of the offenders was more positive than anticipated, with the most common label being ‘stupid’ and ‘me…

Sentence disparity in the federal courts and the adoption of sentencing guidelines
Pressure in the 1970's to reform the sentencing process can be attributed to a change in perceived public sentiment regarding the utility of treatment and to the belief that sentencing disparity was a severe problem in the sentencing process. Primary reform occurred in the federal judicial system with the development and implementation of rigorous sentencing guidelines. An evaluation of sentencing patterns for one federal judicial district indica…

Victimization and Crime on Campus
This study measured victimization rates on a major southern university campus. The data indicate that students demonstrate higher rates of victimization and greater monetary losses than the general population. However, it appears that these victimizations are not occurring on campus. Students appear to be more likely to be victimized off campus than on campus
Incidence of Date Rape On a College Campus
This study attempted to measure the extent to which women who are college students had been forced to have sexual intercourse during their lives. Fifteen percent of this sample reported that they had been forced to have sex, ten percent by their dates, and eight percent while they were college students. This study indicates that almost all unwanted sexual encounters occur in apartments or cars, are committed by men with whom the women have at lea…
Colonial policing and control of movements for independence
Colonial policing as developed by the British deliberately separated the community policed from its police force. From earliest times, policing in the British system involved the use of strangers to police, separation of the police force from the population, and separation of the officers from the rank and file. The police acted as an instrument of control for the government. The separation of the police from the community created social distance…
The Relationship Between Learning Disability and Juvenile Delinquency
Juvenile crime has continued to rise. The Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) indicate that children and youth under the age of 18 comprise approximately 36% of those arrested for all indexes of crime. Much controversy exists relevant to a possible link between juvenile delinquency and learning disabilities. The observation that many delinquent children encounter learning disability problems resulted in the conjecture that learning disabilities may lead …

Social Disorganization on Bimini
The study reported here focuses on the impact of the drug trade on the island of Bimini, an island in the Bahamas about fifty miles from Miami, Florida. An anthropological model introduced by Beals (1953) and elaborated by Pelto (1973) was adapted to explain the findings. This model indicates that the introduction of new technology produces a shift in work patterns which can cause shifts in the economic system and social disorganization. The mode…

Judicial Influence in Changing Attitudes Toward Use of Work Release
Judges are under pressure both to combat crime with longer prison sentences and to increase the use of sentencing options which permit use of a graduated system of dispositions which can be used to rehabilitate offenders. The judges are faced with overcrowded prisons and a general lack of the community programs recommended by many professional organizations and scholars. It is recommended here that judges take an active role in encouraging the de…
