Indian gaming and Tribal Revenue Allocation Plans: Socio-economic determinants of policy adoption
As the Indian gaming industry has experienced unprecedented growth over the past two decades, tribes have pursued different paths regarding the utilization of gaming revenues within parameters established by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. Since 1993, more than 100 tribes have received approval through the Department of the Interior to distribute revenues directly to tribal members through per capita payments governed by a Tribal Revenue Alloca…
Assessing the Impact of Indian Gaming on American Indian Nations: Is the House Winning
Objective The objective of this article is to examine the impact of Indian gaming on reservation conditions in the contiguous American states following passage of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act in 1988. Methods Utilizing 1990 and 2000 Census data for 330 Indian nations, a pretest/posttest design permits a comparison of nongaming nations to three different types of gaming nations on eight economic measures, while controlling for multiple tribal …
The Impact of Gaming on the Indian Nations in New Mexico
Objective. This study examines the economic and social impact of Indian gaming on the residents of the 22 pueblos and tribes in New Mexico. Method. We employ a naturally occurring quasi‐experimental design that classifies each of the Indian Nations into one of two groups, gaming and nongaming, depending on the continuous operation of a “Las Vegas” style casino for multiple years in the 1990s. For these two groups we compare aggregate, primarily U…
Intergovernmental Relations and Native American Gaming: A Case Study on the Emergence of a New Intergovernmental Relations Participant
Models of intergovernmental relations (IGR) are consistently built around the triumvirate of national, state, and local governments. Lacking in various conceptualizations is due consideration for the hundreds of tribal governments found scattered throughout the United States. Although the status of Indians in the U.S. federal system has always been something of an enigma, the emergence of Indian gaming, and its associated high economic and politi…
The Changing Shape of the American Political Universe Revisited
Thirty years ago, Burnham (1965) published his seminal article asserting that the sharp decline in voter turnout around the turn of the century was associated with the emergence of capitalism and the adverse impact of industrialization on the party system. This research note examines the macroeconomic interpretation of declining turnout using aggregate time-series data for biennial House elections and presidential and midterm House elections betw…

Plea Bargaining Policy and State District Court Caseloads: An Interrupted Time Series Analysis
Questions about the relation of court caseloads to plea bargaining practices generate much controversy but little sophisticated empirical research. Here we examine the effects of a 1975 felony plea bargaining ban in the Texas district courts in El Paso. Relying on a quasi-experimental interrupted time series model with annual data for 1968-83, we test the hypothesis that the discontinuance of plea bargaining negatively affects court caseloads, sp…

Redefining the Power of the Federal Judiciary: The Impact of Court-Ordered Prison Reform on State Expenditures for Corrections
In the last two decades, federal judges in virtually all states have ordered state governments to alter dramatically the way they operate such institutions as prisons, hospitals, and mental health facilities. The research presented here seeks to improve our understanding of the budgetary linkage between the federal judiciary and state governments by examining the influence of court-ordered prison reform on state expenditures for corrections. Gene…

Deadly Force as a Policy Problem in Local Law Enforcement: Do Administrative Practices Make a Difference
This article examines the impact of six administrative practices on the use of deadly force by police officers in American cities with a population greater than 50,000. Generally, departmental policies demonstrate little association with the frequency of shooting incidents per police officer, or in the number of incidents resulting in fatalities or injuries. It does appear that police departments which issue more traditional sidearms tend to expe…

A Note On Substantive Access Doctrines in the U.S. Supreme Court: A Comparative Analysis of the Warren and Burger Courts
rT V HE UNITED STATES Supreme Court has two mechanisms at its disposal to regulate cases appearing on its calendar. The first power is derived from the Court's discretionary authority to accept cases arising through writs of certiorari. The significance of this mechanism in structuring the annual agenda was recognized by Tanenhaus and his colleagues in their seminal work on cue theory (1963) and in several other studies which have provided us wit…
Air Quality Control Expenditures in the American States
This research note examines air quality control expenditures by the American states from 1970 to 1979 in light of the theory of budgetary incrementalism. Utilizing a longitudinal correlation analysis the findings reveal little fluctuation in relative spending levels during this decade. However, in an examination of the change in expenditures from one year to the next, states are found to exhibit a high degree of variability, with increases and de…
Mid-Career Students in MPA Programs: Implications for Pre-Service Student Education
It is widely appreciated that a fundamental shift in the clientele patterns of higher education is underway. As changes in life styles occur, as credentialism and inservice training abound, and as student enrollments continue as grist for university funding mills, nontraditional students are increasingly lured to the halls of academe. MPA programs have certainly not been immune to these trends, with adults in mid-career stages of professional dev…
