  • Motivations for Citizen Involvement in a Community Crime Prevention Initiative: Pennsylvania's TIP (Turn in a Poacher) Program

    Michael J McSkimming, Bruce L BergARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2008

    Every fall, nearly 500,000 Steelhead Trout enter northwest Pennsylvania tributary streams attracting both the ethical angler and the poacher. Although there are certainly more ethical anglers on the streams than poachers, the latter cause a great deal of concern not only for conservation officers, but also for landowners, ethical anglers, and the general public. This article examines a specific, grassroots, crime prevention initiative called “Tur…

  • Women in Parole: Gendered Adaptations of Female Parole Agents in California

    Connie Ireland, Bruce Berg et al.ARTICLEWomen & Criminal Justice2006

    More women than ever are present today in correctional occupations. Women have been promoted to higher ranks, in part due to structural changes that have granted women legitimate access to promotion. However, attitudes, training, working environment, and social dynamics remain laden with gender barriers for women in correctional occupations. This article examines gender barriers for women in parole. The study uses semi-structured interviews with …

  • Enhancing Criminal Justice and Criminology Programs: The Precarious Balance of Pedagogy and Content Knowledge

    Open AccessDelbert L Rounds, Bruce L Berg et al.ARTICLECriminal Justice Policy Review1995

    A 1991 article in The Criminologist raises questions about what the needs may be in graduate criminal Justice and criminology education. The article, however, failed to discuss teaching skills and faculty diversity among instructors in existing programs. Since the publication of that article, there has remained a dearth of consideration of these timely areas. criminal Justice and criminology as cognate emerging disciplines have begun to develop s…

  • Mentoring members of minorities: Sponsorship and “the gift”

    Bruce L Berg, Robert L BingARTICLEJournal of Criminal Justice…1990

    This article examines academic mentoring and the need to establish a viable sponsorship program for minority graduate students. Accordingly we consider the nature of mentoring as represented in the literature and examine several of the problems facing minority academics who already have entered the field but have not been accepted as full members of the “academic guild.” Finally, in an effort to contrast mentorship with sponsorship, we propose a …

  • How Jews Avoid Alcohol Problems

    Barry Glassner, Bruce Berg et al.ARTICLEAmerican Sociological Review1980Cited by: 17References: 4

    Twenty-five years have passed since the last major study of Jewish drinking patterns. During that time Jews have drifted away from the Orthodox religious affiliations which the earlier studies (Snyder, 1958; 1978) found to be important in maintaining low alcohol problem rates, and yet these rates remain low. Data from a detailed study of Jews in an American community suggest a revised explanation that focuses upon four protective social processes…
