Hunters’ Acceptability of Lethal Management Methods Used to Control Invasive Wild Pigs ( Sus scrofa ) in Alabama
Alabama agricultural producers’ experiences with wild pigs ( Sus scrofa ) and their preferences concerning wild pig management
Government agencies and landowners use a variety of lethal methods to reduce invasive wild pig populations and resulting agricultural damages.To provide decision-makers with information regarding Alabama farmers' experiences with wild pigs and their preferences for management actions, we surveyed Alabama Farmers Federation members in 2020.We found that wild pigs were commonly present on livestock, timber, and crop production acreage, but wild pig…
Evaluating cognitive and behavioral measures of tolerance for wildlife in an invasive species context: A study of Alabama hunters’ tolerance for wild pigs
Human tolerance for wildlife is a key consideration for managers and has been measured with attitudes, normative beliefs, and behaviors. The study objectives were to determine, in the context of Alabama hunters’ tolerance for non-native, invasive wild pigs, 1) the convergent validity among three cognitive measures of tolerance, and 2) the strength of association between the cognitive measures of tolerance and behavioral measures of tolerance. Res…
Socialization and motivational pathways among different groups of non-traditional hunters in Alabama reveal unique recruitment and retention opportunities
Participation in hunting has been declining and organizations have increased efforts to recruit non-traditional path hunters (NTPHs) such as adults who did not hunt as children, urban residents, and women. Anecdotal evidence suggests that NTPHs could be interested in hunting if recruiters emphasized certain aspects of the hunting experience such as connecting to nature or harvesting sustainable meat. To explore effects of non-traditional backgrou…

Cognitive Validity: Can Multiple-Choice Items Tap Historical Thinking Processes
Cognitive validity examines the relationship between what an assessment aims to measure and what it actually elicits from test takers. The present study examined whether multiple-choice items from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) grade 12 U.S. history exam elicited the historical thinking processes they were designed to measure. Think-aloud data from 27 accomplished high school students revealed that in no instances did stud…
Standing up to complexity: Researching moral panics in social work
Moral panics are central to social work policy and practice. Voluntary agencies and statutory bodies (including governments) create and sustain moral panics in order to raise awareness of, and win support for, their own understandings of social issues and problems. This is not a neutral enterprise; on the contrary, moral panics often have consequences that are negative, whether intended or unintended. Far from leading to greater social justice an…
Towards a theory of upbringing in foster care in Europe
Across Europe, foster care is the preferred intervention for children who cannot live with their birth families, yet just what states look for from foster care is rarely articulated. Its use and intended purpose can reflect not only historical peculiarities but also the nature of the welfare regime existing in a particular country. This article reports on a preliminary exploration of fostering across 11 European countries, reflecting different ca…
Tracking Change: Traditional Knowledge and Monitoring of Wildlife Health in Northern Canada
Traditional Knowledge (TK) is increasingly valued in long-term monitoring of wildlife health, particularly in northern Canada where Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) may represent a threat to valued caribou and moose populations. This article presents comparative research results (1998–2002 and 2010) about caribou and moose health based on research with Łutsël K’é First Nation, Northwest Territories (Canada). Elders’ knowledge, harvester observations…

Critical reflection workshops and knowledge exchange: Findings from a S cottish project
In 2013, academics from a S cottish university came together with social work managers and practitioners from two local authorities ( LAs ) in S cotland to run a knowledge exchange ( KE ) project co‐sponsored by the E conomic and S ocial R esearch C ouncil and the LAs . The project's aim was an ambitious one: to contribute to culture change in the children and families' departments in the two partner agencies. The project grew out of an earlier K…
Osiris and the Deceased in Ancient Egypt: Perspectives from Four Millennia
The four lectures in this series took place between 17 May and 27 May 2013. Their subject was how the ancient Egyptians conceived of the relationship between the god Osiris and those who died. The lectures did not provide a continuous or comprehensive account of Egyptian beliefs about this relationship, but rather focused upon four distinct periods of their development, spread over four millennia. The periods selected for attention were ones in w…
Changing Lives: What is really changing for Scottish social work
In 2004 the then Scottish Executive launched the 21st Century Social Work Review. The review report, Changing Lives, addressed perceived shortcomings in statutory social work services, claiming to offer a fundamental review of the profession. This paper argues that, rather than offering any significantly new principles or policies, the drift of the Changing Lives process was chiefly to refurnish the discourse in which statutory social work is con…
Victim Narratives of Historical Abuse in Residential Child Care: Do We Really Know What We Think We Know?
Dystopian images of children’s remains buried in the cellars of Haut de la Garenne children’s home in the Channel Island of Jersey brought the subject of historical abuse in residential child care graphically to public consciousness over the course of 2008. Subsequent revelations around the provenance of police spin in that case prompt examination of the ways in which knowledge of institutional abuse has been constructed more generally. Drawing o…

Social education and social pedagogy: Reclaiming a Scottish tradition in social work
Social pedagogy is the discipline underpinning work with children and youth across most of Europe. The concept has struggled to find a place within social work in the English-speaking world, partly because of difficulties in translation and partly as a result of different welfare traditions. In particular there is a limited conception of education within the Anglo American Saxon tradition and a consequent bifurcation of education and care. This a…
Pragmatic Micawberism? Norm Construction on Ballistic Missiles
Ballistic missile and WMD proliferation go hand-in-hand, yet missile norms remain the most chronically under-developed of all the international arrangements surrounding WMD. This article argues that although the link between missiles and WMD undoubtedly is important, it should not be overplayed when trying to establish norms and controls over international missile proliferation. Ballistic missile control will certainly reinforce international con…
Negotiating Multilateral Instruments Against Missile Proliferation
The absence of a major multilateral treaty banning missiles is explained by the limited scope of the two main instruments against missile proliferation – the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) and the Hague Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Proliferation (HCOC). In the MTCR's case, limiting the scope to supply-side technology controls facilitated progress during its negotiations. In the Hague Code, limiting the scope to transparency…
Britain: Balancing ‘Instinctive Atlanticism’
This article highlights four key aspects of British ballistic missile defence policy. These are, first, the Anglo-American connection; second, the participation in American-led ‘coalitions of the willing’; third, the role of NATO; and, fourth, the role of the defence industry. These four factors operate inside a strategic culture of ‘instinctive Atlanticism’ coupled with a Europeanist trend in recent years. Developments in the United States are l…

The Future European Labor Supply: The Critical Role of the Family
The European employment strategy initiated in 1997 is critically dependent upon the further integration of women into the labor market. The European Union has set a specific target employment rate for women of 60 percent by 2010 and is also committed to providing more and better child care facilities. This gender focus is reinforced by the requirement for gender mainstreaming in all aspects of European employment policy. There is an implied Europ…
National Working-Time Regimes and Equal Opportunities
Progress towards equal opportunities is critically dependent upon the development of a more equal and more balanced allocation of time in both paid and unpaid work. Gender divisions relating to working time arise primarily from differences in gender divisions within the household but the extent and form that these gender divisions take in the labor market are moderated or mediated by national working-time regimes. These regimes are found to be ex…
