The Disengagement Puzzle
Why do rebels leave rebellions? Although much scholarly attention has been devoted to understanding why individuals join rebellions, relatively little is known about why they leave. This paper seeks to fill this deficit by exploring the decision-making process that rebels undertake when determining whether to stay or leave. Based on interview data collected from ten active rebels and four former rebels all engaged (or previously engaged) in confl…
Depictions of Murder in Maine
Recent research suggests that popular depictions of crime reflect and reinforce a dominant ideology in which criminals are viewed as rational actors who bear individual responsibility for crime. The research reported here employed a content analysis approach to examine depictions of 108 assailants found in media reports of murders that occurred in Maine from 2008 through 2012. While most of the depictions examined here describe crime as a matter …
Explaining Murder in Maine
Research suggests that popular depictions of crime and criminals are influenced by a dominant ideology that explains crime in terms of the individual failings of criminals, while ignoring social contributions to crime rates. The research reported here, based on an ethnographic content analysis of newspaper depictions of 108 murderers, identifies and describes three case studies of criminal homicide which challenge the dominant ideology by highlig…
Escaping the LRA
This study seeks to understand the conditions that led individuals to accept the risks associated with leaving the Lord’s Resistance Army. To this end, a large participant survey of former rebels was conducted. Results from the survey suggest that the investment model offers a useful tool for capturing the factors that weigh into an individual’s decision-making process as he or she considers disengaging from a group. However, the data also sugges…
Shifting Norms
Shifting Norms: Development Policy and the Role of Security Sector Reform in Advancing Human Security John Riley (bio) and Mario Schulz (bio) Introduction Security Sector Reform (SSR) is a technical model guides practitioners' efforts to transform states' security services into institutions which can face challenges "in a manner that is consistent with democratic norms, and sound principles of governance and the rule of law."1 Given that SSR is a…
Old Wounds, New Warriors
American overseas military operations have become dependent upon private contractors. Thousands of these individuals have suffered casualties as a consequence of employment in high-risk parts of the world. American policy has consistently failed to meet the medical needs of hundreds of thousands of contractors. The root source of this problem is the nature of contracting itself. It is a system defined by a commercial transaction rather than the c…

Teaching on terrorism
This essay reviews three works intended to provide justice students with an introduction to the study of terrorism. Examination of these texts provides an opportunity to consider one of the most recent developments in the justice field: an emerging focus on terrorism. It also provides an opportunity to consider one of the field’s most persistent problems: the problem of integration across disciplinary boundaries. While new research technologies a…
The pains of imprisonment
While classic texts on the prison have long been an important resource for those teaching courses on corrections, prison life has changed dramatically since many of these works were written. For this reason, some instructors may choose to drop classic texts in favor of more recent works. This essay examines recent firsthand accounts of prison written by Ted Conover, Victor Hassine, and Leonard Peltier and argues that such works may be used in con…

Sociological research on age
The hallmark of sociology is its emphases on first, people, secondly, structures and, thirdly, their interrelationships. Similarly, we see sociological research on age as concerned with (1) people over their life course; (2) age-related structures and institutions; and (3) the dynamic interplay between people and structures as each influences the other. Guided by our ‘aging and society paradigm’, we review the research legacy as it has focused mo…

The Lives of Older People and Changing Social Roles
This article addresses the central dilemma of the mismatch between the strengths and capacities of the increasing numbers of older people in the United States, on the one hand, and the inadequate social-role opportunities to utilize, reward, and sustain these strengths, on the other. In order to enhance the quality of aging, interventions are needed, both in the ways individuals grow older and in the environing matrix of families, work organizati…
The Excavation at Tocra 1974
It is the purpose of this article to provide a convenient summary of the full report of the Tocra kiln site excavation (appearing in Libya Antiqua : Riley, in press 2) to incorporate fresh information which has now become available as a result of the Berenice excavations (Lloyd 1977), and to present, in summary, a revised format for the quantified figures. A considerable quantity of coarse pottery (over 12,000 sherds, weighing nearly 700 kg) was …
Industrial Standardisation in Cyrenaica during the Second and Third Centuries A.D
A detailed study of the coarse pottery of Cyrenaica, and particularly Berenice, in the Hellenistic and Roman periods (Riley, in press) indicates that, with the exception of the total disappearance of locally made amphoras, the Romanisation of Cyrenaica made no impact on the local pottery industry until around the middle of the second century A.D. Indeed, at a time of rapidly increasing prosperity in Cyrenaica from the Augustan period, the local p…

Some Observations on the Social Effects of Television
DURING the summer of 1948, the Columbia Broadcasting System and Rutgers University entered into a joint continuing project to study and document the social consequences of television ownership in a middle-sized Eastern city. This paper reports some of the findings from the first phase of the project. The most recent additions to the TV audience are being contributed by the lower socio-economic level; TV in exerting an apparent over-all effect on …

Communication in the Sovietized State, as Demonstrated in Korea
social system has enough knowledge of its functioning accumulated to make it worth while to project a theory of it? I am leaving you with a riddle because this is symbolic of the whole field of international sociology. Almost all the important questions are unanswered. And they are not questions merely of theoretical interest to a handful of academicians. They are questions that concern the destiny of common people around the globe. It is deplora…

Research for Psychological Warfare
While past research in psychological warfare has not led to a theory of communication, it makes possible the formulation of several rather firm propositions about target audiences, message content, and message effect. It also suggests some specific avenues of researth which might prove rewarding
