Revisiting the Walpole Prison Solitary Confinement Study (WPSCS)
In the last decade, scholars have expressed growing concerns about the credibility of some studies in the biomedical and social sciences domains that are broadly regarded as classics, that is, studies that are widely cited as the definitive answer on a topic and are in the public interest. In the current investigation, we directed our attention toward one such classic—the Walpole Prison Solitary Confinement Study (WPSCS)—which reported that inmat…
An experimental ethnoarchaeological approach to understanding the development of use wear associated with the processing of river cane for split-cane technology
Southeastern Indians have been using cane (Arundinaria spp.) for basketry and matting for thousands of years. Unfortunately, it is only under extraordinary preservation conditions that such items survive archaeologically. Inferring the production of split-cane technology requires an understanding of prehistoric manufacturing and processing techniques. It is hypothesized that stone tools were once used to process cane for use in split-cane technol…
Not Your Average Flake
Although simple in form and design, flakes are extremely efficient tools. With multiple working edges, flake tools may be used to complete a myriad of tasks; however, their use-life tends to be shorter than that of formally retouched implements. While expedient flakes may constitute a large component of lithic assemblages, their identification requires that individual debitage specimens be analyzed at macroscopic and microscopic levels. The ident…
An Examination of the Inter-Rater Reliability and Rater Accuracy of the Level of Service/Case Management Inventory
Correctional agencies use risk assessment instruments for a wide range of purposes, including to help classify, manage, and treat offenders. The literature on offender risk assessment largely focuses on assessing for predictive accuracy, and far less research examines reliability in scoring. This study adds to this gap in knowledge by assessing how reliably and accurately a group of trained raters score one particular risk assessment tool, the Le…
