  • The History 1
    THE HISTORY 2020-21 UNLV WOMEN’S BASKETBALL 1 LADY REBEL HISTORY UNLV has a long and impressive history of success over its 42 seasons of competition in women’s basketball. The Lady Rebels hold an all-time record of 807-542, a winning percentage of .578, and were the 61st team in NCAA history to reach 800 wins thanks to a 67-60 victory at Air Force on Jan. 14, 2020. UNLV has recorded eight trips to the NCAA Tournament and has received bids to 11 WNIT Tournaments, including a championship runner-up finish in 2003-04. The Lady Rebels began their first season in 1974-75, as Barbara Quinn coached the team to an 8-7 record in their inaugural campaign. Dan Ayala then took over at the helm of the squad, and to this day remains one of the most successful coaches in school history, leading the Lady Rebels to an amazing 109-23 record over his five seasons, including a 23-2 mark in 1977-78 and a 24-2 mark in 1978-79. His 1977-78 team also reached the AIAW Regional finals. Shelia Strike coached the Lady Rebels starting in the 1980-81 season, and after two years was joined by Jim Bolla as co-head coach. The two led UNLV into its most successful seasons in the school’s history, as the team won 22+ games in all five seasons that Bolla and Strike served as co-coaches. @UNLVLADYREBELS @UNLVLADYREBELS UNLV won the inaugural Big West Tournament in 1984, and followed with titles in 1985 and 1986.

  • Making Sociology Relevant to Society
    Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture Hip-Hop’s Criminological Thought December, 2016, 18 (1): pg. 114 Steinmetz & Henderson Copyright © 2016 School of Criminal Justice, University at Albany Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture All rights reserved. ISSN 1070-8286 Hip-Hop’s Criminological Thought: A Content Analysis Kevin F. Steinmetz Kansas State University Howard Henderson Texas Southern University Abstract Despite recent attempts at using hip-hop as an avenue for understanding crime and justice issues, hip-hop music continues to be understudied within criminal justice and criminology. Considering that the music often represents populations which are disproportionately impacted by issues of crime, justice policy, and victimization, this oversight indicts the discipline. The current study addresses the gap through an inductive content analysis of a random sample of 200 hip-hop songs from platinum-selling albums released between 2000 and 2010. The focus of the study is extracting hip-hop artists' explanations for crime. The results revealed that hip-hop artists portray and explain crime in diverse ways which include crime as a result of: retribution/retaliation (47.58%), environmental conditioning (24.19%), strain (17.74%), choice (6.45%), social learning (4.84%), oppression/injustice (5.65%), innateness (4.84%), and other (4.84%). This study connects these explanations to larger bodies of criminological scholarship. Suggestions for future research and policy implications are also provided. Journal of Criminal Justice and Popular Culture Hip-Hop’s Criminological Thought December, 2016, 18 (1): pg. 115 Steinmetz & Henderson HIP-HOP’S CRIMINOLOGICAL THOUGHT: A CONTENT ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION Research has asserted that African Americans are at a significantly greater likelihood of being processed through the American criminal justice system, even after controlling for socioeconomic status (Stucky, 2012).

  • A Look Inside the Political Hip Hop Music of Tupac Amaru Shakur
    ABSTRACT AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES, AFRICANA WOMEN’S STUDIES, AND HISTORY WATKINS, TRINAE M.A. CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, 2018 PANTHER POWER: A LOOK INSIDE THE POLITICAL HIP HOP MUSIC OF TUPAC AMARU SHAKUR Committee Chair: Charmayne Patterson, Ph.D. Thesis dated December 2018 In this study, seven rap songs by hip hop icon Tupac Shakur were examined to determine if the ideology of the Black Panther Party exists within the song lyrics of his politically oriented music. The study used content analysis as its methodology. Key among the Ten Point Program tenets reflected in Tupac’s song lyrics were for self- determination, full employment, ending exploitation of Blacks by Whites (or Capitalists), decent housing, police brutality, education, liberation of Black prisoners, and the demand for land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice, peace, and a United Nations plebiscite.
