It isa tragedy that a 76-year-old WomAn could be subjected to sexual violence. Yet, ananYolder women who live in urban- complexes and experience diminishedphysical capacities, are victimized by crime. Their vulnetabiliy often heightens their anxiety, forcing them to withdraw from(e heirfriends and families' and from surrounding neighborhooas, where theyshould be secure. Though much has been written on the problemof sexual assault,/,', there has been little.systematic study ofrape of the elderly, hen ,.', few positive steps towardprevention of sexual assault. The A tional Center for the Prevention andcontrol of Rape has'devel4ed ; this document for those whoare concerned with tlie quality of. .life among the elderly. The authors, LindaDavis and Elaine Ikody, .discus s'. the pross of growing older'in Nour society, the 'special vulnerability of Olderwomen, and the physi6al and psyclological impact that fear of crime and sexualassault have on he lifestye of older.women. Th6, suggeet avoidanceactivities (beviors older., women themselves can adopt -.to, reduce theirexpo ure to high:" risk situations) and protectionactivities (actions thatpolice, housing personnel, families, and neighborscan take to protect older women, from victimizatiop)as a means of preventing rape: These preven- tion strategies, when coupled withpositive' community organiza- tion, can improve the living arrangeinentand environment of Older women. Finally, the authors outlineeducational and train- ing tdols for older wonien, communItygroups, planning,and service agencies, housing personnel, and laWenforcement agencies. exual assaultIs a community problem. Untilwe join together through inc-reased awareness and positht action, we cannot hope I. to prevent the occurrence of sexual assatltof any age gropp.., ThiS book is a beginninrin the Center's continuingeffort to prevent sexual assault of the elderly. Weencourage ydlir consideration ot this material and ite refer?nces and wouldappreciate learning of new and unique programs and strategies that have been developed.

  • 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.

Beavers, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Robert Lyster, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ James A. Borland, Th.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date TALKING TO STRANGERS 3 Abstract In the television mock-documentary The Office, co-workers Jim and Pam tell the cameraman they are dating before they tell their fellow co-workers in the office. The cameraman sees them getting engaged before anyone in the office has a clue. Even the news of their pregnancy is witnessed first by the camera crew. Jim and Pam’s boss, Michael, and other employees, such as Dwight, Angela and others, also share this trend of self-disclosure to the cameraman. They reveal secrets and embarrassing stories to the cameraman, showing a private side of themselves that most of their co-workers never see. First the term “mock-documentary” is explained before specifically discussing the The Office. Next the terms and theories from scholarly sources that relate the topic of self-disclosure to strangers are reviewed. Consequential strangers, weak ties, the stranger- on-a-train phenomenon, and para-social interaction are studied in relation to the development of a new listening stranger theory.

  • The Invisible Journalist: Understanding the Role of the Documentary Filmmaker As Portrayed in the Office
    The Invisible Journalist: Understanding the Role of the Documentary Filmmaker as Portrayed in The Office Massiel Bobadilla JOUR575 –Joe Saltzman Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture May 5, 2011 Bobadilla 2 ABSTRACT: This study aims to shed light on the enigmatic ‘mockumentary’ filmmaker of The Office by using specific examples from the show’s first six seasons to understand how the filmmaker is impacted by and impacts concepts of journalism and the invasion of privacy. Similarly, the filmmaker in the American version of The Office will not only be compared and contrasted to the role of the filmmaker in the British version, but also will be compared to the anthropologic ethnographer an “outsider” attempting to capture life as faithfully as possible in a community to which he/she does not belong. The American interpretation of The Office branched out of Ricky Gervais’s British original of the same name with the pilot episode hitting the airwaves on NBC on March 24, 2005,1 to largely mixed reviews from critics, but a strong showing among viewers.2 The show’s basic premise is that of a faux documentary providing an inside look at the day-to-day life of the employees of a mid-level paper company. The primary focus centers on the socially inept branch manager, his even more inept right-hand-man, and the budding romance of the young and earnest paper salesman and the mild-mannered receptionist who happens to be inconveniently engaged to one of the branch’s warehouse workers. What was the Slough branch of Wernham Hogg in the U.K.

    國立臺灣師範大學英語學系 碩 士 論 文 Master’s Thesis Department of English National Taiwan Normal University 美國影集的字彙涵蓋量 語料庫分析 The Vocabulary Coverage in American Television Programs A Corpus-Based Study 指導教授：陳 浩 然 Advisor: Dr. Hao-Jan Chen 研 究 生：周 揚 亭 Yang-Ting Chou 中 華 民 國一百零三年七月 July, 2014 國 立 英 臺 語 灣 師 學 範 系 大 學 103 碩 士 論 文 美 國 影 集 的 字 彙 涵 蓋 量 語 料 庫 分 析 周 揚 亭 中文摘要 身在英語被視為外國語文的環境中，英語學習者很難擁有豐富的目標語言環 境。電視影集因結合語言閱讀與聽力，對英語學習者來說是一種充滿動機的學習 資源，然而少有研究將電視影集視為道地的語言學習教材。許多研究指出媒體素 材有很大的潛力能激發字彙學習，研究者很好奇學習者要學習多少字彙量才能理 解電視影集的內容。 本研究探討理解道地的美國電視影集需要多少字彙涵蓋量 (vocabulary coverage)。研究主要目的為：(1)探討為理解 95%和 98%的美國影集，分別需要 英國國家語料庫彙編而成的字族表(the BNC word lists)和匯編英國國家語料庫 (BNC)與美國當代英語語料庫(COCA)的字族表多少的字彙量；(2)探討為理解 95%和 98%的美國影集，不同的電視影集類型需要的字彙量；(3)分析出現在美國 影集卻未列在字族表的字彙，並比較兩個字族表(the BNC word lists and the BNC/COCA word lists)的異同。 研究者蒐集六十部美國影集，包含 7,279 集，31,323,019 字，並運用 Range 分析理解美國影集需要分別兩個字族表的字彙量。透過語料庫的分析，本研究進 一步比較兩個字族表在美國影集字彙涵蓋量的異同。 研究結果顯示，加上專有名詞(proper nouns)和邊際詞彙(marginal words)，英 國國家語料庫字族表需 2,000 至 7,000 字族(word family)，以達到 95%的字彙涵 蓋量；至於英國國家語料庫加上美國當代英語語料庫則需 2,000 至 6,000 字族。 i 若須達到 98%的字彙涵蓋量，兩個字族表都需要 5,000 以上的字族。 第二，有研究表示，適當的文本理解需要 95%的字彙涵蓋量 (Laufer, 1989; Rodgers & Webb, 2011; Webb, 2010a, 2010b, 2010c; Webb & Rodgers, 2010a, 2010b)，為達 95%的字彙涵蓋量，本研究指出連續劇情類(serial drama)和連續超 自然劇情類(serial supernatural drama)需要的字彙量最少；程序類(procedurals)和連 續醫學劇情類(serial medical drama)最具有挑戰性，因為所需的字彙量最多；而情 境喜劇(sitcoms)所需的字彙量差異最大。 第三，美國影集內出現卻未列在字族表的字會大致上可分為四種：(1)專有 名詞；(2)邊際詞彙；(3)顯而易見的混合字(compounds)；(4)縮寫。這兩個字族表 基本上包含完整的字彙，但是本研究顯示語言字彙不斷的更新，新的造字像是臉 書(Facebook)並沒有被列在字族表。 本研究也整理出兩個字族表在美國影集字彙涵蓋量的異同。為達 95%字彙涵 蓋量，英國國家語料庫的 4,000 字族加上專有名詞和邊際詞彙的知識才足夠；而 英國國家語料庫合併美國當代英語語料庫加上專有名詞和邊際詞彙的知識只需 3,000 字族即可達到 95%字彙涵蓋量。另外，為達 98%字彙涵蓋量，兩個語料庫 合併的字族表加上專有名詞和邊際詞彙的知識需要 10,000 字族；英國國家語料 庫字族表則無法提供足以理解 98%美國影集的字彙量。 本研究結果顯示，為了能夠適當的理解美國影集內容，3,000 字族加上專有 名詞和邊際詞彙的知識是必要的。字彙涵蓋量為理解美國影集的重要指標之一， ii 而且字彙涵蓋量能協助挑選適合學習者的教材，以達到更有效的電視影集語言教 學。 關鍵字：字彙涵蓋量、語料庫分析、第二語言字彙學習、美國電視影集 iii ABSTRACT In EFL context, learners of English are hardly exposed to ample language input.
