The role of coups d'état in Africa
Scholars and researchers have debated the impact of coups d'état on African nations since the first coup in West Africa, in 1963, toppled the Sylvanus Olympio government in Togo. In the current paper, we employ a potpourri of theoretical frameworks - legitimacy, democratic and political instability, justice as fairness, rational choice and deterrence - to explain why coups occur, their effects on the general population and how they can be curbed.…
A Sociological Perspective on Pidgin's Viability and Usefulness for Development in West Africa
This essay examines the viability and usefulness of pidgin for development in West Africa. Pidgin in West Africa has endured as a unifying medium of communication among people who do not share a common language.

Law, Criminal
Criminal law is a body of law that defines and grades crimes, and indicates corresponding punishments. These definitions and punishments are found in statutes and in criminal codes within each state, and within each country.

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…

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…
Shakespeare's Female Victims
This study explores female victimization in literary works and introduces contemporary research to make parallels. More specifically, the study analyzes how William Shakespeare employed theatrical scenarios relevant to both historical and contemporary theories relating to female victimization. Three characters purposely selected form the basis of the study. They are: Desdemona in Othello, Lavina in Titus Andronicus, and Lucrece in The Rape of Luc…

Legal pluralism and harmonization of law
This study focuses on how the common law and civil law, two legal systems introduced to Cameroon by Britain and France respectively, have been harmonized with traditional laws to serve the needs of Cameroon. Through studies on the legal process in Cameroon, coupled with open‐ended questions to legal practitioners, and content analysis of documents, it is evident that many of the customary laws that existed prior to colonization have been excluded…
