Meesig and Frank Horvath School of Criminal Justice Michigan state University Abstract This paper reviews three unpublished national surveys conducted over the past 30 years on the use of pre-employment polygraph screening by law enforcement agencies in the United states. The review shows that the number of agencies using the technique increased from 19% in 1964 to 62% of the largest agencies in 1991. It also shows a surprising consistency among agencies regarding reasons for use and the benefits and circumstances of use. It concludes that agency experiences with polygraph screening over the years have been quite favorable and that the motivating reasons for its use are well-estab­ lished. During the past three decades polygraph testing has been used extensively to screen job applicants for both private and public sector employers in the United states. During this period, however, the use of such testing became increasingly controversial.

  • The List: All Primetime Series on Television Calendar Year 2015
    The List: All Primetime Series on Television Calendar Year 2015 Source: Nielsen, Live+7 data provided by FX Networks Research. 12/29/14-12/27/15. Original telecasts only. Excludes repeats, specials, movies, news, sports, programs with only one telecast, and Spanish language nets. Cable: Mon-Sun, 8-11P. Broadcast: Mon-Sat, 8-11P; Sun 7-11P. "<<" denotes below Nielsen minimum reporting standards based on P2+ Total U.S. Rating to the tenth (0.0). Important to Note: This list utilizes the TV Guide listing service to denote original telecasts (and exclude repeats and specials), and also line-items original series by the internal coding/titling provided to Nielsen by each network. Thus, if a network creates different "line items" to denote different seasons or different day/time periods of the same series within the calendar year, both entries are listed separately. The following provides examples of separate line items that we counted as one show: %(7 V%HLQJ0DU\-DQH%(,1*0$5<-$1(6DQG%(,1*0$5<-$1(6 1%& V7KH9RLFH92,&(DQG92,&(78( 1%& V7KH&DUPLFKDHO6KRZ&$50,&+$(/6+2:3DQG&$50,&+$(/6+2: Again, this is a function of how each network chooses to manage their schedule. Hence, we reference this as a list as opposed to a ranker. Based on our estimated manual count, the number of unique series are: 2015³1,415 primetime series (1,524 line items listed in the file). 2014³1,517 primetime series (1,729 line items).
