This study examines the gender gap in attitudes toward the death penalty, including attention to global versus specific measures.
The study is based on a survey in Tennessee of attitudes toward crime and criminal justice. Specifically, the study examines
male and female global attitudes, attitudes toward a life without parole option, reasons that supporters and opponents give
for their views, and how specific factors might change the level of support for or opposition to capital punishment. Although
majorities of both genders favor capital punishment, important differences exist. Implications are discussed.
An earlier version of this study was presented at the 1999 Annual Meeting of the Southern Criminal Justice Association in
Chattanooga, Tennessee. Dr. John Paul Wright was instrumental in conducting the Tennessee Crime Survey, the source of the
data used in this study. 相似文献

Like the sports franchises and foreign auto plants that preceded them, state and local governments are touting prisons as the latest means of economic miracle‐making, often for small towns and communities that are economically depressed. The building of prisons is supposedly tied to the development of a just, fair, and rational criminal justice policy in a civil democratic society. Prison building has positive and negative social and political consequences for these communities. This critical essay explores some of these consequences in light of the literature on prison siting, the experiences of communities and prisoners, and relevant statistical data in the public domain. It also offers an alternative framework for evaluating prison recruitment as a strategy for local economic development. 相似文献

Forecasts suggest the possibility of declining college student enrollment during the next 5–7 years. In order to ensure program
survival, a proactive student recruitment program is recommended. This paper outlines the elements of a marketing approach
to student recruitment. Moreover, it is suggested that criminal justice departments become more involved in the recruiting
process by adopting the marketing elements that fit within budget and personnel allocations. It is further recommended that
the time to implement a recruiting program is not after a department’s survival is threatened, but before, in order to avert
future difficulties.
The author would like to thank James W. Marquart for his helpful editorial comments. 相似文献

To determine the effects of an introductory criminal justice course on the attitudes of students toward the police, questionnaires
were given in the first week of the semester to 425 students enrolled in Introduction to Criminal Justice courses and to 301
students enrolled in Introduction to Sociology courses. The survey was then readministered in the final week of the semester.
The data reveal that while significant initial differences existed in orientation among the various student groupings, there
was no significant change in attitudes between the pretest and posttest measurements. 相似文献

How do disruptions in basic public service delivery shape people’s perceptions of politicians? We offer evidence from the July 2012 blackout in India, the largest in human history. Using data from the India Human Development Survey, we compare confidence in politicians between households that were surveyed during the outage and affected by it (treatment) and only days before it (control). Balance statistics show that the treatment and control groups are statistically indistinguishable, and further tests indicate that there was no disturbance to the pattern of surveying. Far from undermining public confidence in politicians, the outage increased it, as citizens reacted to the anxiety created by the crisis. The implications are normatively troubling, as politicians seem to have reaped benefits from disruptions in public service delivery. 相似文献

Sectoral interests play an important role in distributive politics, but their influence is difficult to measure. We compare the effect of international oil prices on subsidies for domestic gasoline and diesel consumption. Because diesel is used by a smaller number of organized agricultural and transportation interests, they are more capable of collective action than the dispersed beneficiaries of gasoline subsidies. The conventional wisdom holds that sectoral interests could mobilize to stop reform (e.g., price increases, deregulation). Challenging this view, we consider the possibility that sectoral interests promote reform by facilitating the targeted allocation of compensation and exemptions. An empirical analysis of gasoline and diesel prices, 1991–2012, strongly supports the second hypothesis: diesel prices respond to international oil prices more strongly than do gasoline prices. Quantitative tests and case studies allow us to explore causal mechanisms, verify that the gasoline‐diesel difference is related to actual policy reforms, and reject alternative explanations. 相似文献
