Thomas Blake Earle, The Liberty to Take Fish. Atlantic Fisheries and Federal Power in Nineteenth-Century America by Brian Payne
For many years I have had, surely like all my colleagues in fisheries history, to answering that nagging question, "why fish?"It is perpetual.No one ever seems to understand what we understand; the fisheries were central to American foreign policy, economic development, and the emerging nationalism in the decades between the Revolution and the Civil War.In this book, Thomas Blake Earle has presented one of the most articulate answers to that ques…
New ideas, enduring cultural barriers? An analysis of recommendations from the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Restorative Justice in England and Wales
Recent years have seen a variety of national and local efforts to implement restorative justice in England and Wales. Yet, despite its appearance in multiple statutes, several national action plans, its strong endorsement in the Victims’ Code of Practice, and its inclusion in the funding remit of elected Police and Crime Commissioners, restorative justice still does not occupy a mainstream position in criminal justice in England and Wales. This a…
‘Spaces’ for restorative development
This paper examines the concept of the ‘spaces’ into which restorative services develop. We conceptualise such ‘spaces’ as: social, the people and communities; as political, the will for developments; as physical, the geography and facilities; and as economic, dependent on the resources available. The first case study examines the hub-and-spoke model from Gloucestershire, England, where a top-down approach with buy-in at the statutory level provi…

To eP or Not to eP
Electronic portfolios have been hailed as a useful pedological tool on numerous grounds. One commonly cited justification is that portfolios deepen student learning and help students develop a professional identity. Whether electronic portfolios are used equally across programs and the degree to which they promote digital identities across student groups remains open to question. To fill this void in the research, in this study we explore the deg…
Flax Americana
MACFADYEN, Joshua – Flax Americana: A History of the Fibre and Oil that Covered a Continent. Montreal: McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2019. Pp. 350. MacFadyen’s Flax Americana is a book about one plant that produced two basic raw materials (fibre and oil) that became a host of consumer goods (upholstery, bags, cordage, paints, varnishes, and others), but it is not a commodity history in the sense that it traces how a single commodity transforme…

Becoming a Dependent Class
This article explores the labour history of the Maine–New Brunswick sardine herring fishery. It looks specifically at the impact of the 1920–21 recession on weir fishermen who provided juvenile herring fish for the Maine canneries. The article argues that Maine canneries successfully formed a buyers' trust, which was a widely accepted form of business integration among government and business leaders during the 1920s, and used that trust to break…

Time and a Place
Drugs and the Law
At the broadest level, a “law” can be defined as a written policy designed to control human behavior. Drug laws, then, are written policies designed to control drug‐using behaviors. The aggressive response to drug‐using behaviors, however, is a relatively modern phenomenon in the United States. A series of early American drug laws precipitated current efforts to control drug‐related behaviors. These laws included the Pure Food and Drug Act of 190…
Transnational Organised Crime
Organised crime covers a wide range of activities, including drug trafficking, illegal trafficking of people, and fraud. The existence of a land border does not impede these operations; instead in many cases it is used to their advantage. In response, law enforcement strategies must include a transnational, multi-agency approach. This book critically analyses the extent to which Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland have been successful in…
Becoming an Academic Administrator
In this manuscript, the perils and pitfalls of academic administration are discussed. The move to the “dark side” of academe is one that many choose not to take, and many who do take it do so with little understanding of the opportunities and challenges that await them. The author uses his career progression from faculty member to vice provost as a case study
The Environmental Historiography of the Maritime Peninsula
An Environmental History of New England, Richard Judd referred to the region stretching from Long Island Sound to the Gasp Peninsula as a "landform known as the Maritime Peninsula." 1 Archaeologists use the term "maritime peninsula" to illustrate connections between pre-European-contact Native people in what is today New England and Atlantic Canada, and this is the context in which Judd used the term in his book. Earlier, in the introduction, Jud…
Does 'Violent' Mean 'Bad'? Individual Definitions of Violence
People use the word "violent" to describe a wide range of behaviors. When referring to acts of force, however, past research indicates that people often reserve the word "violent" to refer to acts of force that they define as "bad." In the current study we use vignettes to explore variation in people's definitions of a particular instance of the use of force. The findings indicate support for the idea that people reserve the word "violent" to ref…
Kurkpatrick Dorsey. Whales and Nations
In his book, Whales and Nations: Environmental Diplomacy on the High Seas Kurkpatrick, Dorsey does what all good historians must do: he stays focused on the context. Despite the potential sentimentalism Dorsey could have written into his history of whaling diplomacy, he avoids the trap of trade-book genres and remains throughout a very good evenhanded historian. By doing so Dorsey advances our understanding of how politics, science, and culture s…
Christopher L. Pastore. Between Land and Sea
Building upon the traditions of historical geography, Atlantic world studies, and environmental history, Christopher L. Pastore presents a case study of how we can better understand the littoral. Although his work focuses tightly on just one small corner of North America, his in-depth analysis of Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay and its marine environment (both oceanic and inland) and his theories and methodological approach push well beyond these…
Revictimization Through Education
Researchers generally accept that victims may experience revictimization in the criminal justice system when they relive victimization experiences while recounting the victimization to criminal justice officials. In addition, scholars have drawn attention to the need to be sensitive in victimology courses and other courses focusing on victimization. In this study, the authors examine whether victims experience forms of revictimization when learni…

Local Economic Stewards
The history of conservation has largely focused on the origins of the movement. The scholarship on the origins of conservation is often confined to a recurring debate between professionals championing efficient management and laborers championing local stewardship. In marine environmental history, fisheries historians highlight the role that fishing laborers played in both community and resource conservation, arguing that fishermen closely stewar…
Experiences of Domestic Violence as a Child and Career Choice
Racial Differences in Resolving Conflicts
This study examined the behavioral differences between Black and White police officers in handling interpersonal conflicts. Observational and survey data from the Project on Policing Neighborhoods and the 1990 census data were used. Actions taken by officers are examined along two behavioral dimensions: coercion and support. Findings show that Black officers are more coercive than their White counterparts in responding to conflicts. Black officer…

The Relationship Between Self-Control, Witnessing Domestic Violence, and Subsequent Violence
The notion that violence begets violence is well accepted. Less clear are the precise factors that link together child violence and adult violence in an individual's life course. This study examines the role that self-control has in linking together exposure to violence in a child's life and subsequent violence in that individual's life. A telephone survey with 375 residents in Southeastern Virginia was conducted. Attention is given to whether th…

Attitudes toward capital punishment
Studying attitudes toward capital punishment has been a topic of interest for decades. Indeed, it is often the subject of Gallup polls, political commentary, and social science research. Research indicates that attitudes vary by demographic factors, educational influences, and neighborhood crime rates. Building on prior research, the current study examined death penalty attitudes among 599 college students and 213 residents from high crime and lo…

Typical explanations of elder mistreatment have focused on individual-level models. The current study adds to the literature by considering the neighborhood context in which reports of elder mistreatment are made to protective services. Using geographic information system software, the distribution of 751 adult protective services (APS) reports from three cities in southeastern Virginia is analyzed. Results suggest that Alzheimer's cases are dist…
Domestic Violence Training Policies
Victims of domestic violence rely on various human services professionals for an assortment of needs. Consequently, professionals must be prepared to recognize the signs of domestic violence, the needs of victims, and strategies to serve victims effectively. It is believed that in-service training programs are useful in better preparing social services workers for these areas. Many workers, however, may not participate in such training. This stud…

An Examination of Student Attrition at a Medium-Sized Southern University
Reasons given by 320 students for not returning in the 1994 fall quarter to a southern university were examined through analysis of school records, phone interviews, and mailed surveys. School records show that the demographic characteristics of students who left the university are similar to those of students who returned. Telephone interviews and mail surveys suggest that students left the university most often to be closer to home or to resolv…
Applying deterrence theory in the context of corporate wrongdoing
Developing and dealing with controversial issues in criminal justice courses
One of the most stimulating but trying aspects of teaching criminology and criminal justice courses centers on the controversial issues that so frequently arise in our courses. In this paper we discuss five models or approaches to dealing with controversial issues in the classroom: the due process approach, the peacemaking approach, the academic controversy approach, the devil's advocate approach, and the avoidance approach. These models are inte…

Family Violence and Criminal Justice
The historical context of family violence is explored, as well as the various forms of violence, their prevalence in specific stages of life, and responses to it made by the criminal justice system and other agencies. The linkage among child abuse, partner violence and elder abuse is scrutinized, and the usefulness of the life-course approach is couched in terms of its potential effect on policy implications; research methods that recognize the i…

Bringing the field into the criminal justice classroom
Educators in a number of disciplines rely on field strategies to show their students how to apply concepts they have learned in their coursework. Very little guidance has been provided to criminal justice educators on ways to successfully bring the field into their classroom. Three strategies for bringing “the real world” into criminal justice courses include field trips, police ride-alongs, and the use of guest speakers. Using our experiences an…
Criminal justice students' understanding, or misunderstanding, of issues facing elderly persons
This research compares the attitudes of criminal justice students about nine issues of concern to older persons to the attitudes of members of three occupational groups—nursing home administrators, nursing home professionals, and police chiefs. In all, 395 individuals from the four groups were asked to rate and rank the importance of the following issues: health care needs, property crime, violent crime, war on drugs, fraud, transportation needs,…
Regulating Legal Misconduct in the Commonwealth of Virginia
This research reviews malfeasance committed by legal actors in Virginia over a four-year time period, and examines the corresponding sanctions imposed on them. The inquiry entails the review of disciplinary cases reviewed by the Virginia State Bar. These cases cover a vast spectrum of misconduct ranging from those seemingly venial to those that are flagrantly criminal. The sanctions imposed are examined as well as the reasons for the sanctions. F…

All in the Family
A large body of research supports the finding that exposure to violence and abuse early in one's life influences adult criminality. Very little research, however, has considered whether female and male offenders' histories of violence and abuse are comparable or whether abuse type relates to the extent of later offending. Using data culled from 559 pre-sentence investigation reports, this study examines how male and female offenders' experiences …
Collaborating with undergraduates
An increasing number of educators have called for active learning strategies to educate college students. At the same time, college instructors are being called upon to publish at increased rates while maintaining high teaching loads. One way to merge the ideals of active learning with publishing is to engage students, particularly undergraduate students, in collaborative projects. Writing, re‐searching, and publishing with undergraduate students…
Addressing issues in group work in the classroom
For group projects to be pedagogically successful, instructors must understand how students view group work, factors that influence students' perceptions about group work, and students' views about the importance of group work. Understanding these factors will provide instructors with guidance in effectively using group projects in their courses. This study examines how students perceive group work after completing a semester-long group project. …

Perceptions About Changing the Miranda Warnings Among Police Chiefs
A number of studies have considered whether the race of a police officer influences police decision-making processes. The current study assesses whether a police chief's race influences perceptions about the Mirandawarnings. Police chiefs from the Commonwealth of Virginia completed questionnaires assessing various aspects about the Mirandawarnings when the fate of the warnings was to be determined by the Supreme Court. Results suggest that race o…

Narratives about violence
The Clothesline Project was created in 1990 to give women a creative outlet for describing their experiences with violence. Survivors of violence print messages on t-shirts which are displayed for the public during different events such as Victims’ Rights Week and Sexual Assault Awareness Week. Approximately 300 different projects are held each year in various locations across the world. In the current study, we examined the kinds of messages pri…
Using Student Samples in Criminological Research
Professors have long relied on the assistance of their students in various aspects of the research process. For example, students often contribute in their role as research assistants and as co‐authors on scholarly papers and presentations. They also participate in another important way—as samples in their professors’ research projects. In criminology and criminal justice, student samples are often used in behavioral studies, tests of criminologi…
