  • Shrinking the Internet
    SHRINKING THE INTERNET Philip A. Wells* INTRODUCTION The Internet presents unique policing challenges, but these challenges share striking similarities with those in densely popu- lated cities. Both environments are staggering in scope and size, regularly exposing citizens to strangers, unconventional norms, and deviant behavior.1 And despite their frenetic environments, both foster feelings of remoteness and anonymity.2 This sentiment, in tandem with the scale of both the Internet and large cities, inhibits the growth of social norms: informal interactions that help commu- nities self-police and shame potential criminals.3 * Philip A. Wells is 2009 graduate of the New York University School of Law and can be reached via e-mail at [email protected]. He hopes you don't use this contact information in furtherance of a cybercrime. 1 Compare LYN H. LOFLAND, A WORLD OF STRANGERS: ORDER AND ACTION IN URBAN PUBLIC SPACE, at ix–x (1973) (“To experience the city is, among many other things, to experience anonymity.

    CULTURAL AND SOCIAL CORRELATES OF ADULT OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY IN UPSTATE NEW YORK By STACEY ANN GIROUX A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2012 1 © 2012 Stacey Ann Giroux 2 To Mom and Pop 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many people supported me not only while I worked on this research but also throughout my time in graduate school. My parents, Don and Chris Giroux, never told me I couldn’t be or do anything, whether as a young child with aspirations as a leaf- picker or as an idealistic twenty-something who believed she could make a difference in the world as an anthropologist. They also provided help, shelter and money at various difficult points during graduate school. For this and more I thank them. My sister, Carolyn Giroux, has provided comic relief and her excellent proofreading skills. James Wells, who was a close friend when I began graduate school and is now my partner of eight-plus years, I thank especially for emotional support. His is a unique soul, and, having gone through the dissertation process himself, he always seemed to know what to say, what not to say, when to push me, and perhaps most importantly, when to simply listen. When I was still an undergraduate at the University of Missouri, Gery Ryan’s medical anthropology class inspired me to switch from archaeology to cultural anthropology almost overnight. Gery is the person I would call my first mentor, and he showed me that it was possible to pursue anthropology as a career, that I had the right stuff for it, and then helped me to do just that.

Hughes, Ph.D.** INTRODUCTION From 1980 to 2009, prostitution in Rhode Island was decriminalized.1 Prostitution was not prohibited or regulated by law if it was performed indoors.2 The lack of laws or regulations created a unique and permissive legal, economic, and cultural environment for the growth of sex businesses.3 Although a few counties in Nevada have legalized prostitution,4 no other state or county has decriminalized prostitution in recent decades.5 During the twenty- nine year period from 1980 to 2009, sexual exploitation and violence against women and girls were integrated into the economic development of Rhode Island’s urban areas.6 The growth of sex * Melanie Shapiro is an immigration attorney based in Dedham, Massachusetts.
