Nixon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ___________________________________________________ Supervisor, Dr. Leslie M.

The increased attention to children’s exposure has prompted child protection authorities to make changes to their policies, in an attempt to protect children. Despite the well-intentioned nature of these efforts, they have been criticized for producing negative consequences, such as, re-victimizing battered women, ignoring abusive men, and failing to protect children.

  • Leadership Selection in Alberta, 1992-2011: a Personal Perspective
    Leadership Selection in Alberta, 1992-2011: A Personal Perspective Ted Morton In 1991, the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta changed its rules for selecting its party leader. They abandoned their traditional method of a leadership convention (with delegates drawn from each constituency), and instituted a new one-member, one-vote system. Under this new system, the Alberta PCs have elected three new party leaders: Ralph Klein in 1992; Ed Stelmach in 2006; and Alison Redford in 2011. In each of these leadership contests the winner 2013 CanLIIDocs 380 immediately became the Premier of Alberta. This article looks at the impact of the new selection procedure for politics in Alberta. he 1991 leadership reforms can best be described Initially the Party was quite proud of its new as creating what the Americans call an “open democratic credentials.4 But as these rules were put Tprimary.” Not only is it based on the one- into play in three leadership contests over the next two member, one-vote principle, but the membership decades, they have had significant and unintended requirement is essentially “open”. That is, there are no consequences. I have tried to summarize these in the pre-requisites such as prior party membership or cut- following six propositions: off dates for purchasing a membership. Memberships can be bought at the door of the polling station on the day of the vote for $5. The system allows for two rounds • The rules favour “outsider” candidates over candidates supported by the Party Establishment. of voting. If no candidate receives an absolute majority 1 • The rules create an incentive for the Second and (50% +1) on the first voting-day, then the top three go Third Place candidates to ally themselves against 2 on to a second vote one week later.
