瑜伽的艺术项目:一个性别敏感的瑜伽和创意艺术课程 加州少年司法系统中的女孩
Author(s):
Danielle Arlanda Harris, Ph.D. with Mary Lynn Fitton
As girls enter the juvenile justice system, they stand on the precipice of a lifelong cycle of crime and incarceration, yet still have the opportunity to turn toward healing and rehabilitation. 考虑到这一点，瑜伽艺术项目(AYP)设计了 a gender-specific intervention that combines Yoga, visual arts, and creative writing to help girls learn how to create a positive future for themselves. This article introduces AYP and shares the goals, objectives, and experiences of the program. A thorough description of AYP’s comprehensive Yoga and Creative Arts Curriculum is provided, including a 范例课程计划和整个课程的概述. Eight principles of best practices are presented and discussed. 我们希望这一蓝图将激励和授权 other Yoga therapists to develop similar programs that serve this important and underserved population.

Nucleic acid sample storage is of paramount importance in forensic science, epidemiological, clinical and genetic laboratories. 数以百万计的生物样本，包括细胞， 病毒和DNA/RNA每年都被储存起来，用于诊断、研究和取证. PCR允许对微量样品进行分析. Forensic samples such as bone, teeth, touch samples and some sexual assault evidence may yield only low quality and low quantity DNA/RNA. 需要有效地储存提取的DNA/RNA to ensure the stability of the sample over time for re-testing of the CODIS STRs, mtDNA, YSTRs, mRNA和其他未来的标记分型系统.
Amplification of some or all of these markers may fail because the biological material has been highly degraded, contains inhibitors, is too low in quantity or is contaminated with contemporary DNA. 已观察到冷冻液体的回收率降低 DNA提取物和那些暴露在多次冻融循环中的. Therefore, the 开发最佳的储存和扩增方法是成功的关键 recovery of profiles from these types of forensic samples, since in many cases, re-testing is necessary.

移民管制，后福特主义，和更少的资格:唯物主义批判 整个欧洲对移民的刑事定罪
Author(s):
Alessandro De Giorgi, Ph.D.
The apparent de-bordering of the western world under the impulse of economic globalization has been paralleled by a simultaneous process of re-bordering of late-capitalist societies against global migrations. 重新划定边界是更广泛的惩罚性转向的一部分 已经出现的移民管理，特别是在欧洲， since the mid-1970s. On the one hand, non-western immigrants are targeted by prohibitionist immigration policies which in fact contribute to the reproduction of their status of illegality; on the other hand, the systematic use of incarceration (together with administrative detention and deportation) as the main strategy in the ongoing war against unauthorized immigration configures a dynamic of hyper-criminalization of 移民，其结果是加剧了他们的社会经济和政治 marginality across Europe. 遵循已知的唯物主义犯罪学方法 as political economy of punishment, this article suggests that these punitive strategies should be analyzed against the background of an increasingly flexible and de-regulated neoliberal economy: in this context, the hyper-criminalization of migrations contributes 对脆弱劳动力的再生产，他们的不安全感使其成为合适的 在后福特主义经济中分割的劳动力市场.

Author(s):
Danielle Arlanda Harris, Ph.D., Paul Mazerolle, Ph.D., and Raymond A. Knight, Ph.D.
先前的研究已经探讨了犯罪学理论是否可以解释 显然是性犯罪者的特殊行为. One perspective proposes that criminals are versatile, engaging in an array of antisocial behaviors. The alternative perspective, more common in sexual offending research, is that sexual offenders (especially child molesters) engage in sexual offenses exclusively or predominantly. This study 对374名男性性犯罪者进行了调查. Offenders were compared 按犯罪分类和专业化程度分别进行了评估和选择 测量一般犯罪和性变态的变量. Specialization level was a stronger group discriminator than offender classification. Versatile offenders were significantly more likely than specialist offenders to present with generic antisocial 传统犯罪学预测的行为. Specialist offenders reported more 性变态指标高于多面手. The theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.

What Will States Really Do For Us? 人权事业与来自下层的压力
Author(s):
William Armaline, Ph.D. and Davita Silfen Glasberg, Ph.D.
International human rights standards and treaties have been plagued with disputes 关于国际法在国家主权方面的相关性和效力. These disputes commonly result in states’ failure to realize the rights and standards outlined by such human rights instruments. What if states cannot or will not provide fundamental dignities to their people? 此外，全球结构调整如何影响 states’ ability to implement human rights? We explore these questions through what 我们称之为“人权事业”，其中包括统治者和 统治着人权实践的实现. As such, human rights are often developed through the struggles of grassroots organizations and non-elites from below, not simply from the compassionate actions of states to respect their international agreements.

Committed and observed offenders did not differ. 虽然主要是多才多艺的儿童猥亵者 were significantly more likely than rapists to specialize in sexual offenses, and 也更有可能专门研究儿童猥亵. Consistent with previous research with sexual offenders, both measures of offense specialization revealed substantial 儿童猥亵者和强奸犯的区别. As expected, rapists had more versatile criminal records. The extent to which persistent sexual offenders specialize in sexual offenses, or the extent to which they also engage in nonsexual offenses, has only 最近成为实证研究的主题.

Water, Place, and Equity
Author(s):
Richard Warren Perry, Ph.D. with Helen Ingram, Ph.D. and John Whiteley, Ph.D.
Many predict that by the end of this century water will dominate world natural resources politics as oil does today. 获得水被广泛认为是一项基本人权， 并于1992年由联合国宣布成立. And yet the water crisis grows: although the total volume of water on the planet may be sufficient for our needs, much of it is misallocated, wasted, or polluted, and the poorest of the poor live in arid areas where water is scarce. 未来十年将需要新的视角 on water resources and reconsideration of the principles of water governance and policy.
《菠菜网lol正规平台》一书认为，水资源分配的公平性将是一个关键问题 为人类更加公平和安全的未来奠定基础. With analyses and case studies, it demonstrates that considerations of equity are more important in formulating and evaluating water policy than the more commonly invoked notions of efficiency and markets.
通过案例研究，本书探讨了水的公平问题范围从 cost and benefit disparities that result from Southern California’s storm water runoff 玻利维亚水资源私有化的政策. In a final chapter, Water, Place, 而公平基金则考虑更广泛的问题——全球气候变化对水的影响 resources and better ways to incorporate equity into future water policy.

青少年关系中的伴侣暴力
Author(s):
Veronica M. Herrera, Ph.D., Jacquelyn D. Wiersma, Ph.D., and H. Harrington Cleveland, Ph.D.
This study examines individual and partner characteristics associated with the perpetration of intimate partner violence (IPV) in young adult relationships with opposite sex partners. Using data from Waves 1 and 3 of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent 健康方面，这项研究调查了1275名年轻人的异性恋爱关系. Controlling for the effects of family and school correlates measured in adolescence, we examined the extent to which participants’ general violent behavior in young adulthood and their partners’ use of violence in their relationship influence participants’ IPV perpetration. 我们发现有一般暴力倾向和 target of violence in a relationship influenced one’s likelihood of young adults perpetrating IPV. We also tested whether the overall influence of participants’ general violent behavior on IPV perpetration was moderated by their partners’ use of violence in the relationship. We found that young women’s greatest expression of violent tendencies emerged when in relationships with violent men; yet, when partnered with non-violent 男性，年轻女性自身的暴力倾向并没有导致IPV. We found little evidence 研究中年轻男性的互动效应. The lack of a significant interaction in the model indicated that young men’s general aggression was not conditioned on 他们的伴侣在他们的关系中使用身体攻击.

Research indicates that programs designed to target first year students increase their likelihood of success during that year and their chances of completing an undergraduate education (Bureau & Rromrey, 1994; Conner & Colton, 1999). Theoretically, such programs should help in part because they foster integration into campus communities and help 使个人目标与机构目标保持一致. In an effort to increase retention 和一年级学生的成绩，南阿拉巴马大学实施 a program for resident first year students called ESSENCE in the fall of 1998.

Re-Thinking the Political Economy of Punishment: Perspectives on Post-Fordism and Penal Politics
Author(s):
Alessandro De Giorgi, Ph.D.
惩罚的政治经济学表明，惩罚制度的演变 should be connected to the transformations of capitalist economies: in this respect, 每一种“生产方式”都知道它特有的“惩罚方式”。. However, global processes of transformation have revolutionized industrial capitalism since the early 20世纪70年代，从而形成了一个后福特主义的生产体系. In this book, the author investigates the emergence of a new flexible labour force in contemporary Western societies. Current penal politics can be seen as part of a broader project to control 这种劳动力，对监狱和惩罚的作用影响深远 strategies in general.
