  • Representations of Education in HBO's the Wire, Season 4
    Teacher EducationJames Quarterly, Trier Spring 2010 Representations of Education in HBO’s The Wire, Season 4 By James Trier The Wire is a crime drama that aired for five seasons on the Home Box Of- fice (HBO) cable channel from 2002-2008. The entire series is set in Baltimore, Maryland, and as Kinder (2008) points out, “Each season The Wire shifts focus to a different segment of society: the drug wars, the docks, city politics, education, and the media” (p. 52). The series explores, in Lanahan’s (2008) words, an increasingly brutal and coarse society through the prism of Baltimore, whose postindustrial capitalism has decimated the working-class wage and sharply divided the haves and have-nots. The city’s bloated bureaucracies sustain the inequality. The absence of a decent public-school education or meaningful political reform leaves an unskilled underclass trapped between a rampant illegal drug economy and a vicious “war on drugs.” (p. 24) My main purpose in this article is to introduce season four of The Wire—the “education” season—to readers who have either never seen any of the series, or who have seen some of it but James Trier is an not season four. Specifically, I will attempt to show associate professor in the that season four holds great pedagogical potential for School of Education at academics in education.1 First, though, I will present the University of North examples of the critical acclaim that The Wire received Carolina at Chapel throughout its run, and I will introduce the backgrounds Hill, Chapel Hill, North of the creators and main writers of the series, David Carolina.

Second Chances in The Wire: Perspectives from Psychology and the Judiciary The Hon. Rebecca R. Pallmeyer† & Dan P. McAdams†† ABSTRACT Playing off a scene in The Wire wherein prison inmates discuss whether Ameri- can lives have “second acts,” this essay considers psychological and legal issues at play in people’s efforts to turn their lives around, from bad to good. In the first half of the essay, a professor of psychology discusses empirical research into re- demptive life stories in which people find positive meaning in suffering and/or transform their lives from failure to relative success. While examples of redemp- tive life stories may be found in The Wire, making good on second chances seems to be a relatively rare occurrence. In the second half, a federal judge considers the issue of second chances in the American legal system, focusing on the issue of sen- tencing.

  • And All the Pieces Matter: Thoughts on the Wire and the Criminal Justice System
    And All the Pieces Matter: Thoughts on The Wire and the Criminal Justice System Susan A. Bandes* "Whatever it was, they don't teach it in law school."' I. INTRODUCTION The standard police procedural, even including great dramas like NYPD Blue and Hill Street Blues, adheres to time-honored narrative conventions. It focuses on good, if sometimes imperfect, cops trying to find the real bad guys-the perpetrators-and bring them to justice. The episode begins when a crime ruptures the social fabric, and ends when guilt is determined and things are put to right. The standard procedural is concerned mainly with individual fault and individual heroism. It does not raise disquieting questions about the criminal justice system, the legal system, or the social and political arrangements that lead to a permanent underclass. There are eight million stories in the Naked City,2 and in the police procedural, every one of them stands on its own. This standard cop show narrative reflects and reaffirms a deeply ingrained, reassuring view of the world. The Wire is a different kind of television. It aims not to reassure but to unsettle, or as David Simon once put it, "to pick[] a fight."3 On its surface a police procedural, The Wire has been aptly described as a portrayal of "the social, political, and economic life of an American city with the scope, observational precision, and moral vision of great literature." Unlike the standard police procedural, which presents and resolves a discrete problem every week, The * Distinguished Research Professor, DePaul University College of Law.

Education, Violence, and Re-Wiring Our Schools Margareth Etienne† I. INTRODUCTION Is there a relationship between the education system and the crim- inal justice system? What is the connection between education and criminality? Two theories prevail. Theory I is, simply put, that educa- tion (or school programs) can reduce crime. This common perception is supported by a great deal of research among sociologists and criminol- ogists revealing that better and higher education attainment levels cor- relate with lower criminal behavior. Scholars diverge in their hypothe- ses to explain why this is the case,1 but it is fair to say that education provides opportunities that stem from greater substantive knowledge, hard and soft skills, credentials and greater employment prospects, pro- social attitudes, and positive social networks2 that advance the life pro- spects of young people. With these opportunities, students are less likely to resort to crime for money or social advancement and are more likely to be socialized against the acceptability of resorting to crime.3 In addition to robust evidence of correlation, some scholars argue that they have discovered causal links between education and lower crime levels.4 † Professor of Law and Nancy Snowden Research Scholar, University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign.

  • Annual Report to The
    Center for Academic Support and Assessment Annual Report to the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs AY 2013-2014 Prepared June 2014 by Karla Sanders, Ph.D., Executive Director Eastern Illinois University’s Center for Academic Support and Assessment (CASA) offers this report to the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs to summarize the unit’s work during AY 2013- 2014. The Director and staff members for each unit contributed to the information contained in this report, which is organized around CASA’s major functions and by unit. As in previous years, AY14 presented both new opportunities and challenges, yet CASA’s staff continued to serve Eastern’s students well and to provide quality services. Because CASA provides academic services and offers those services to meet individual student needs, it is uniquely suited to meet the University’s over-arching goal of integrating the academic and personal development of students. CASA offers academic support services to Eastern students that contribute to educational accessibility, and many of these services take the form of one-on-one counseling for students about academic schedules, major/minor choices, graduation requirements, disability accommodations, study skills and time management, testing needs, and other issues affecting our students. CASA and its units submit this report as an accounting of our work for AY14 and our striving for excellence in our programs and services. Personnel, Major Purchases, and Goals In AY14, there were some staff changes. Julie Runyon, the Disability Specialist, went on disability and her employment at EIU was terminated in August 2013. The position was changed from “Disability Specialist” to “Assistant Director” in order to meet better the needs of the students and the office; the assistant director will have a broader scope of duties and be able to fill in for the Director in her absence.

Police Violence in The Wire Jonathan Masur† and Richard H. McAdams†† INTRODUCTION Police brutality—the unsanctioned, unlawful use of force by police against unarmed (and often defenseless) civilians—is one of the recur- ring motifs of The Wire.1 The violence occurs in a variety of settings: occasionally the victim of the police brutality has done something to precipitate it (though the brutality is never justified), but more often the violence is unprovoked and senseless.2 Some police are one-time wrongdoers; others are repeat offenders. Some officers participate in the actual beatings, while others only cover up for the actions of their fellow officers. But in sum, the violence is regular and recurring, if not omnipresent. In this respect, The Wire is not dissimilar from other filmic depictions of police, such as NYPD Blue. What is different is the cast of police officers who are involved in police brutality throughout the show.
