  • A Prototype Comparison of Human Trafficking Warning Signs: U.S. Midwest Frontline Workers’ Perceptions

    Corinne Schwarz, Chong Xing et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Trafficking2020References: 55

    Guided by the cognitive prototype approach, this article examines the prototype structure of the frontline workers’ perceptions concerning warning sign indicators in human trafficking. Online survey responses across a range of workplace sectors were analyzed using multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis (MG-CFA) for three groups. These groups were based on respondents’ self-reported human trafficking experiences: no witness (no encounter of h…

  • Sexual Orientation Equality and Religious Exceptionalism in the Law of the United Kingdom: The Role of the Church of England

    Paul E Johnson, Paul Johnson et al.ARTICLEOxford Journal of Law and Religion2017

    There is a growing literature that addresses the appropriateness and merits of including exceptions in law to accommodate faith-based objections to homosexuality. However, what has rarely been considered and, as a consequence, what is generally not understood, is how such religious exceptions come to exist in law. This article provides a detailed analysis of the contribution of the Church of England to ensuring the inclusion of religious exceptio…

  • Playing with Race in the Early Republic: Mr. Potter, the Ventriloquist

    Paul E JohnsonARTICLEThe New England Quarterly2016

    The first American-born stage magician and ventriloquist was an African American named Richard Potter. Potter's stage career (1811–1835) coincided with the transition from an entertainment culture grounded in a metropolitan Atlantic world to an American show business that was nationalist and racist. This essay traces Potter's strategies and experiences within that transformation

  • Race Horse Men: How Slavery and Freedom were made at the Race Track

    Paul E JohnsonARTICLEAmerican Nineteenth Century History2014

    For centuries, rich Americans have acted out their claims to authority and superiority at the racetrack. In the nineteenth century, those claims depended largely on the labor of African American gr

  • Knowledge for Theory and Practice

    Andrew H Van De Ven, Paul E Johnson et al.ARTICLEAcademy of Management Review2006

    We examine three related ways in which the gap between theory and practice has been framed. One approach views it as a knowledge transfer problem, a second argues that theory and practice represent distinct kinds of knowledge, and a third incorporates a strategy of arbitrage--leading to the view that the gap is a knowledge production problem. We propose a method of engaged scholarship for addressing the knowledge production problem, arguing that …

  • Taking the Keys from Grandpa

    Open AccessElaine B Sharp, Paul E JohnsonARTICLEReview of Policy Research2005References: 2

    Recent highly publicized traffic accidents involving older drivers have led to renewed interest in state policies and administrative practices that award and renew drivers’ licenses in the American states. Because the probability of traffic accidents is linked to the medical conditions that are more prevalent among the elderly, and because the number of older drivers is expected to rise over the next several decades, one might expect that this wi…

  • Political Disagreement: The Survival of Diverse Opinions within Communication Networks

    Open AccessRobert Huckfeldt, Paul E Johnson et al.BOOKPolitical Disagreement2004

    Political disagreement is widespread within the communication network of ordinary citizens; furthermore, political diversity within these networks is entirely consistent with a theory of democratic politics built on the importance of individual interdependence. The persistence of political diversity and disagreement does not imply that political interdependence is absent among citizens or that political influence is lacking. The book's analysis m…

  • Circuits of Surveillance

    Open AccessRobin Williams, P Johnson et al.ARTICLESurveillance & Society2002

    This paper examines the increasing police use of DNA profiling and databasing as a developing instrumentality of modern state surveillance. It briefly notes previously published work on a variety of surveillance technologies and their role in the governance of social action and social order. It then argues that there are important differences amongst the ways in which several such technologies construct and use identificatory artefacts, their ori…

  • Agent-Based Modeling: What I Learned From the Artificial Stock Market

    Open AccessPaul E JohnsonARTICLESocial Science Computer Review2002Cited by: 1

    The Santa Fe Artificial Stock Market (ASM) is a well-known agent-based model. A new revision of the code (ASM-2.2) is now available. This article describes some of the changes that were made in the code base and also presents some important lessons for agent-based modelers that can be illustrated with the code. Because the code is available on the Internet, it is hoped that this discussion and the code base it represents will be helpful to people…

  • Political Environments, Political Dynamics, and the Survival of Disagreement

    Robert Huckfeldt, Paul E Johnson et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Politics2002Cited by: 49References: 17

    This paper addresses a series of questions related to the survival of disagreement among interdependent citizens during an election campaign. Do campaign-stimulated processes of collective deliberation result in the elimination of disagreement within networks of social communication? If not, what are the factors that sustain political heterogeneity and disagreement? And what are the consequences of political heterogeneity within these communicati…

  • Inheriting the Revolution: The First Generation of Americans

    Paul E Johnson, Paul Johnson et al.ARTICLEThe William and Mary Quarterly2001

    The Morning After Years ago, when history writing had a more social scientific flavor, we would have called a book based on several hundred life stories prosopography.The author would have reduced the life paths to a series of elements and counted how many of the subjects were farmers, rose or fell in social status, moved from country to city, served in the army, married a spouse from another town, and so on

  • Simulation Modeling in Political Science

    Open AccessPaul E JohnsonARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist1999Cited by: 9References: 50

    Simulation research has made some notable contributions in political science. This article describes a variety of simulation projects and points out the strengths and weaknesses of simulation in contrast with other methods of research. The strength of simulation research is that it is naturally suited to modeling projects that include a large number of autonomous, interacting agents. Statistical and formal methods of analysis have made contributi…

The models explore the impact of changes in the institutions that control exit and entry into the organization as well as some basic parameters that determine the distribution of preferences. Results indicate the following. First, democratically governed groups evolve in ways that are not predictable from information about the nature of the prefe…
