We have made a difference in the lives of people and changed the course for many individuals -- youth and adult -- to a path that leads to wellness, healthy living, and productivity. When you tackle something as complex as substance abuse and the crime and violence that it involves, you realize that what we are really doing is attempting to change beliefs and behavior. This, of course, is a monumental task; but we are succeeding. We are succeeding because parents and teachers care; policymakers and legislators care; health and human services people care; community, religious, law enforcement, and business people care. Our success, though, depends on keeping up the momentum we have built over the past eight years. We can not become comfortable with our accomplishments and let any of our efforts slide, Now is the time to move forward and push harder to strengthen the foundation we have laid down. 301 W.

POND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Governor: I am pleased to submit the 1994 Maryland's Drug and Alcohol Abuse Control Plan, which represents the state's comprehensive strategy to reduce the substance abuse and drug-related crime and violence problem in Maryland. This year's plan chronicles the work undertaken by the Governor's Drug and Alcohol Abuse Commission since its creation by Executive Order in 1989 and addresses major issues that point the way for future direction. As the work unfolded over the years for the Commission, the challenges and the scope of the problem also evolved. I am especiallY impressed by the degree of collaboration and cooperation the Commission has fostered among state agencies and many other organizations and groups involved in the fight against sUbstance abuse and by the successes of the various partnerships that have been formed. The key to success lies in people working together. This theme is reflected throughout the entire plan. I am proud to have been a part of this team effort and want to acknowledge the citizens, community leaders, agency people, youth, business people, and staff who are responsible for the hard work that has gone into this undertaking. Their commitment and dedication deserves the highest praise. We are making progress, that's the good news. continued success remains the challenge for the future. Sincerely, 300 E.

Paper 27. http://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/27 “JUSTICE WITHOUT PARTIALITY”: WOMEN AND THE LAW IN COLONIAL MARYLAND, 1648-1715 by Monica C. Witkowski A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2010 ABSTRACT “JUSTICE WITHOUT PARTIALITY”: WOMEN AND THE LAW IN COLONIAL MARYLAND, 1648-1715 Monica C. Witkowski Marquette University, 2010 What was the legal status of women in early colonial Maryland? This is the central question answered by this dissertation. Women, as exemplified through a series of case studies, understood the law and interacted with the nascent Maryland legal system. Each of the cases in the following chapters is slightly different. Each case examined in this dissertation illustrates how much independent legal agency women in the colony demonstrated. Throughout the seventeenth century, Maryland women appeared before the colony’s Provincial and county courts as witnesses, plaintiffs, defendants, and attorneys in criminal and civil trials. Women further entered their personal cattle marks, claimed land, and sued other colonists. This study asserts that they improved their social standing through these interactions with the courts. By exerting this much legal knowledge, they created an important place for themselves in Maryland society. Historians have begun to question the interpretation that Southern women were restricted to the home as housewives and mothers.

  • ON the TAKE T O N Y J O E L a N D M at H E W T U R N E R
    Scandals in sport AN ACCOMPANIMENT TO ON THE TAKE TONY JOEL AND MATHEW TURNER Contemporary Histories Research Group, Deakin University February 2020 he events that enveloped the Victorian Football League (VFL) generally and the Carlton Football Club especially in September 1910 were not unprecedented. Gambling was entrenched in TMelbourne’s sporting landscape and rumours about footballers “playing dead” to fix the results of certain matches had swirled around the city’s ovals, pubs, and back streets for decades. On occasion, firmer allegations had even forced authorities into conducting formal inquiries. The Carlton bribery scandal, then, was not the first or only time when footballers were interrogated by officials from either their club or governing body over corruption charges. It was the most sensational case, however, and not only because of the guilty verdicts and harsh punishments handed down. As our new book On The Take reveals in intricate detail, it was a particularly controversial episode due to such a prominent figure as Carlton’s triple premiership hero Alex “Bongo” Lang being implicated as the scandal’s chief protagonist. Indeed, there is something captivating about scandals involving professional athletes and our fascination is only amplified when champions are embroiled, and long bans are sanctioned. As a by-product of modernity’s cult of celebrity, it is not uncommon for high-profile sportspeople to find themselves exposed by unlawful, immoral, or simply ill-advised behaviour whether it be directly related to their sporting performances or instead concerning their personal lives. Most cases can be categorised as somehow relating to either sex, illegal or criminal activity, violence, various forms of cheating (with drugs/doping so prevalent it can be considered a separate category), prohibited gambling and match-fixing.

  • The Motivational Mind of Magneto: Towards Jungian Discourse Analysis
    Page 1 of 30 The motivational mind of Magneto: towards Jungian discourse analysis Jacquelyn Seerattan-Waldrom Supervised by: Dr Geoff Bunn April 2016 Page 2 of 30 The motivational mind of Magneto: towards Jungian discourse analysis ABSTRACT Discourse analysis has been a prominent area of psychology for 25 years. It traditionally focuses on society’s influence on the world through the rhetoric (implicit persuasion) and symbolism, dealing with important psychological areas such as ‘identity’ and many social justice issues. Graphic novel analyses is also increasingly more common. Social justice issues are especially prominent in analysis: particularly in X- Men, through metaphors of ‘oppression’, ‘sexuality and identity’ (Zullo, 2015). Psycho-discursive analysis focuses on the 'subject' neglected in traditional discourse analysis, which has been provided recent attention. A Freudian and Jungian psycho-discursive analysis of DC comic character, 'Batman' has been studied regarding motivation and psyche (Langley, 2012). However, ‘reflexivity’ in Freudian psycho-discursive analysis is a known problem that previous psycho-discursive analyses have been unable to tackle effectively. Therefore, this study proposed a step towards Jungian psycho-discursive analysis adapted from personality and motivation theory, ‘Psychological Types’ (1971) and theoretical expansions by Myers and Myers (1995). It was applied to fictional representations of psyche within the X-Men comic character, ‘Magneto’, due to fictional inspirations which commonly form Jungian theory. Magneto was interpreted as the type, ‘INTJ’, and future implications of further applications to psyche are discussed. KEY PSYCHO- JUNGIAN PERSONALITY X-MEN GRAPHIC DISCURSIVE PSYCHOLOGY NOVEL WORDS: ANALYSIS ANALYSIS Page 3 of 30 Background Discourse analysis For 25 years discourse analysis has been a prominent area of psychology (Stokoe, Hepburn & Antaki, 2012).

  • Public Safety
    PUBLIC SAFETY 010 In Review 2 Part I crime in Greenbelt decreased 6.8% in 2010, from 1,396 reported incidents in 2009 to 1,300. Part I crimes are defined as murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, theft and auto theft. By comparison, the Washington Metropolitan region of Montgomery and Prince George’s counties, known as UCR Region IV, experienced a 10.5% decrease in 2009, according to the latest published Maryland State Police Uniform Crime Report (May 10, 2010). Violent crimes of murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault involve the element of personal confrontation between the perpetrator and the victim; consequently they are considered more serious crimes than property crimes because of their very nature. These offenses accounted for 16% of all crime in Maryland. For Greenbelt, violent crime comprised 14% of all Part I crimes indicating that Greenbelt falls in line with statewide violent crime trends. Crimes against persons, at 185, were the lowest since 2004, driven by a 17% decline in robbery, 106 reported incidents. Robbery remains the most prevalent violent crime in our community, accounting for 57% of all personal crime. Sixty- six (66) robberies occurred in Greenbelt West (62.2%), twenty-nine (29) in Greenbelt East (27.3%) and eleven (11) in historic Greenbelt (10.3%). The number of property crimes reported during 2010 (1,115) was over six times greater than the number of violent crimes. As a group, property crime made up 86% of the total crimes in 2010. Property crimes decreased 7% overall. Notably, motor vehicle theft (133) declined 25%. Geographically, 51% of crime occurred in Greenbelt West, 35% in Greenbelt East and 14% in historic Greenbelt.
