  • Child Prostitution in 12 Countries: an Exploratory Study of Predictors
    Child Prostitution in 12 Countries: An Exploratory Study of Predictors Tuyen N. Huynh, McNair Scholar The Pennsylvania State University McNair Faculty Research Advisor: Dr. Laurie Scheuble, Ph.D Senior Lecturer in Sociology College of Liberal Arts The Pennsylvania State University McNair Faculty Research Advisor: Dr. Vanitha Dayananda Senior Lecturer in Sociology College of Liberal Arts The Pennsylvania State University Abstract Few empirical studies have focused on examining the predictors of childhood prostitution across countries. In this exploratory research article, I examine the predictor variables of child prostitution in 12 countries. These variables include literacy rates for women aged 15 to 24, total population literacy, Per Capita Gross Domestic Product, dominant religion, HIV/AIDS infection, life expectancy, and percent of young women who are economically active, total fertility rate, and age population structure. Thailand has the highest rate of child prostitution among the 12 countries included in the analysis. Findings show that as literacy rates for women, life expectancy and percent of women who are economically active increase, rates of child prostitution decrease. Additionally, as fertility rates decline so does child prostitution. Keywords: child prostitution, country, predictors. Introduction Child prostitution has received considerable attention in the academic literature. Very few studies, however, have focused on predictors of child prostitution by country. The current study focuses on predictors of child prostitution by examining macro-level variables including female literacy, abortion, gross domestic product, poverty levels, and laws to protect the women and children as well as the relationship of these predictors to child prostitution rates within a country. Twelve countries chosen for the availability of 135 data estimates of child prostitution are included in the analysis.

Evidence History, the New Trace Evidence, and Rumblings in the Future of Proof Robert P. Mosteller* I. INTRODUCTION This paper is in two parts. The first part is about developments in the rules of evidence and particularly about developments in the Federal Rules of Evidence, which have had a major impact on evidence rules in many states. This part turns out to be largely about the past because my sense is that the impact of changes in the formal rules of evidence, which were substantial, are largely historic. In one area, however, significant future changes in the formal rules seem possible: those that may be made as a result of the Supreme Court’s decision in Crawford v. Washington,1 which dramatically changed confrontation and may unleash hearsay reformulation. The second part deals with my sense that technological and scientific advances may have a dramatic impact in altering the way cases, particularly criminal cases, are proved and evaluated in the future.

  • Blackest Night / Brightest Day Jumpchain What Is Death in a World
    Blackest Night / Brightest Day Jumpchain What is death in a world like this one? Great heroes and villains alike have tasted the sweet kiss of oblivion, both deserving and not. Yet death has also been defied, and many more have returned to life through circumstance or miracle. Two heroes in particular – Hal Jordan, a Green Lantern of Earth, and Barry Allen, The Flash, both ponder this together as they talk over the gravestone of Bruce Wayne. Both had died and returned to life before. And soon, many more will return as well...but not in a way they or anyone else would expect. Recently, the Green Lantern Corps, a peacekeeping organization created by the self-touted Guardians of the Universe, have been at war with the Sinestro Corps founded by its namesake rogue who fell from grace in the past. As this conflict raged on, other Lantern Corps were discovered or created as all seven colors on the Emotional Spectrum were revealed to the galaxy. But as this conflict and chaos rages on, a prophecy is fulfilled and as the various colors come into battle with each other, a darker force awakens. The Entity of Death, Nekron, acting through the villain Death’s Hand, has prepared to unleash a plague on the entire universe. One that will see the billions of dead across all of creation rise and seek to ravage the living, before extinguishing all life entirely within the Blackest Night. Just as this conversation began, you appear. You are a new or veteran member of one of the existing Lantern Corps...unless you are a Black Lantern, in which you rise from death not long after as the crisis of the Blackest Night begins.

  • Understanding and Overcoming the Entrapment Defense in Undercover Operations
    1 Understanding and Overcoming the Entrapment Defense in Undercover Operations Understanding and Overcoming the Entrapment Defense in Undercover Operations Sgt. Danny Baker Fort Smith Police Department Street Crimes Unit 2 Understanding and Overcoming the Entrapment Defense in Undercover Operations Introduction: Perhaps one of the most effective, yet often misunderstood investigatory tools available to law enforcement agencies around the world is that of the undercover agent. In all other aspects of modern policing, from traffic enforcement to homicide investigation, policing technique relies heavily upon the recognition and identification of an agent as an officer of the law. Though coming under question in recent years, it has long been professed that highly visible police have a deterrent effect on crime simply by their presence. Simply stated, the belief is that a criminal intent on breaking the law will likely refrain from doing so should he or she encounter, or have a high likelihood of encountering, a uniformed police officer just moments prior to the intended crime. Such presence certainly has its benefits in a civilized society. If to no other end, the calming and peace of mind that highly visible and accessible officers provide the citizenry is invaluable. The real dilemma arises when attempting to justify and fund this police presence that crime ridden neighborhoods and communities continually demand. Particularly when the crime suppression benefits of such tactics are questionable and impossible to measure. After all, how do you quantify the number of crimes that were never committed and, if you could, how do you correlate that to simple police presence? In polar opposition to the highly visible, readily accessible, uniformed officer, we find the undercover officer.
