Webb Notes Facing the Issues I I. Introduction Indiana's juvenile justice system is in trouble. Long criticized by advocates, families, and analysts alike, the system has often faced court action and consent decrees involving the petitioning parties: overcrowding at the Indiana Boys' School, insufficient numbers of child welfare caseworkers in Marion county, violation of children's civil rights through placement delays because of the Local Coordinating Committees, anduse of adult jails to hold juvenile offenders. One juvenile court judge from a rural county frequently refersto the system as"a five-legged rabbit that can't run"and hopes that efforts to revise it will not create"a four-legged hippo that still can't run but will cost a whole lotmore county dollars to feed."Despite the long history of concern, little has changed until recently in the system designed nearly a century ago to actin loco parentis(in the place or position of the parent), through the authority ofparens patriae(state acting as guardian or protector of citizens who are unable to protect themselves). The Indiana juvenile justice system is charged with interveningon behalf of youthful offenders for specific purposes: to provide care, treatment, rehabilitation,or protec- tion. This system is at once 92 separate systems, withmany governance and funding variations among Indiana's 92 counties. Tensions among levels ofgover ment (state

  • From Social Welfare to Social Control: Federal War in American Cities, 1968-1988
    From Social Welfare to Social Control: Federal War in American Cities, 1968-1988 Elizabeth Kai Hinton Submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2012 Elizabeth Kai Hinton All rights reserved ABSTRACT From Social Welfare to Social Control: Federal War in American Cities, 1968-1988 Elizabeth Hinton The first historical account of federal crime control policy, “From Social Welfare to Social Control” contextualizes the mass incarceration of marginalized Americans by illuminating the process that gave rise to the modern carceral state in the decades after the Civil Rights Movement. The dissertation examines the development of the national law enforcement program during its initial two decades, from the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, which established the block grant system and a massive federal investment into penal and juridical agencies, to the Omnibus Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, which set sentencing guidelines that ensured historic incarceration rates. During this critical period, Presidential Administrations, State Departments, and Congress refocused the domestic agenda from social programs to crime and punishment. To challenge our understanding of the liberal welfare state and the rise of modern conservatism, “From Social Welfare to Social Control” emphasizes the bipartisan dimensions of punitive policy and situates crime control as the dominant federal response to the social and demographic transformations brought about by mass protest and the decline of domestic manufacturing. The federal government’s decision to manage the material consequences of rising unemployment, subpar school systems, and poverty in American cities as they manifested through crime reinforced violence within the communities national law enforcement legislation targeted with billions of dollars in grant funds from 1968 onwards.

  • The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network
    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................

  • Indiana State Report on Human Trafficking 1 | P a G E
    Indiana State Report on Human Trafficking 1 | P a g e December 1, 2016 Dear Colleagues, Human trafficking, a scourge against humanity, has far reaching impacts nationally, internationally, and in Indiana. I am pleased to provide the first comprehensive report in the State of Indiana on human trafficking. This is a project prepared over the past 18 months by many individuals and organizations who contributed to the work of the Indiana Protection for Abused and Trafficked Humans Task Force (IPATH), the state-wide human trafficking task force, and others who serve victims and who contribute daily, such as members of law enforcement, victim advocates and legislators. In 2009, when I first became co-chair of the task force with the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, little was known about this horrific crime, its victims, the perpetrators, or the trauma inflicted on those who fall prey to it. Through my service as the Chair of the National Association of Attorneys General Special Committee on Human Trafficking, I further realized the scope of this scourge and its impact on victims nationally and across the globe. Today we know far more than we did then, or even as far back as 2005 when the taskforce was first created. While we have made tremendous progress in policy, legislation, and research, we still have a long way to go. I am proud to present a summary and overview of the work done by many people in our state, from victim service providers to law enforcement, to lawmakers and researchers. This report represents a cumulative picture of those efforts, and outlines, most importantly, a path forward with ideas, recommendations and thoughts for the future.

  • Clinton Early Favorite in 2016 Nh Presidential Primary, No Gop Frontrunner
    THE WMUR GRANITE STATE POLL THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE February 14, 2013 CLINTON EARLY FAVORITE IN 2016 NH PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY, NO GOP FRONTRUNNER By: Andrew E. Smith, Ph.D. UNH Survey Center 603-862-2226 www.unh.edu/survey-center DURHAM, NH – Hillary Clinton is the heavy favorite among New Hampshire Democrats for the 2016 New Hampshire Primary. There is no clear frontrunner among Republicans. These findings are based on the latest WMUR Granite State Poll ,∗ conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. Five hundred and eighty-one (581) randomly selected New Hampshire adults were interviewed by landline and cellular telephone between January 30 and February 5, 2013. Included in the sample were 212 likely 2016 Republican Primary voters (margin of sampling error +/- 7%) and 201 likely 2016 Democratic Primary voters (margin of sampling error +/- 7%). Three Years Until NH First in the Nation Primary Although it is three years before the First in the Nation New Hampshire Presidential Primary, prospective Republican and Democratic candidates have already been testing the waters here for presidential runs in 2016. While many of the candidates tested will decide not to run, and others may enter who are not tested, candidates who are the early identified frontrunners have typically won past New Hampshire primaries. Very few voters have made up their minds about who they will support in 2016. The great majority of prospective primary voters, 82% of Democrats and 88% of Republicans, say they are still trying to decide who to support. Democratic Primary Despite the primary being 3 years from now, former Secretary of State and 2008 NH Democratic Primary winner Hillary Clinton is the clear current favorite among Democratic voters.
