Hemmens and Hunter which appeared in recent issues of the Journal of Criminal Justice Education. Both agree that ACJS accreditation, which requires criminal justice departments who seek master’s program accreditation to have a faculty where 90% hold a PhD in criminal justice, will lead to greater status and strengthen the position of criminal justice programs within higher education. However, the 90% requirement does not necessarily improve the overall quality of the faculty in criminal justice programs and therefore should be eliminated. Moreover, the accreditation standards with respect to the faculty credential quotas fails to take into consideration the current faculty make‐up at some of America’s best criminal justice schools and is inferior to the rubric used by most regional accreditation organizations.

However, notably absent from this research is the study ofpeerretaliation among non‐adversarial and less crime prone populations, such as police officers. The underlying theoretical premise is that peer retaliation, defined here as a mechanism of social control, operates under prevailing police culture conditions.Using focus group interviews collected from one large Southwestern police department, content analysis is used to qualitatively examine the influence of peer retaliation on officer deviance (i.e. reporting incidents of illegal force). The results show that officers' rationalize peer retaliation according to morality and deterrence; while, types of retaliation sanctioned against peers include ostracism and no cover. The implications of these findings are considered.

The research, using a stratified multistage cluster sampling design, surveyed 1,628 middle and high school teachers in 14 school districts, located in a large metropolitan area in the southwest region of the United States. Two waves of the longitudinal research collected 1) teachers' socio-demographic factors, 2) teacher classroom management styles, and 3) school climate factors which are related to teacher victimization. Also, the data contained characteristics of victimization, school responses to teacher victimization, and negative consequences of teacher victimization.

Guided by social disorganization and institutional anomie theory, this study used several data sources and OLS regression techniques to examine the impact of social disorganization, economic and noneconomic institutional characteristics on rates of property and violent crime across 1,016 census block groups in San Antonio, Texas. While several findings emerged, interactions between alcohol density and concentrated disadvantage were significant and positively associated with property and violent crime. Interactions between welfare generosity and concentrated disadvantage were significant and negatively associated with the outcomes.

The proposed approach for the project is based on the scope of work prepared by the City of San Antonio and is informed by available guidelines for developing climate action and adaptation plans, namely: by available GHG inventory protocols, methodologies, and assessment tools (e.g. CIRIS (C40 2017a); CURB (AECOM 2017); GHG Protocol, 2014; ICF International, 2013; and ICLEI, 2013); by previously developed climate action plans for major US cities (e.g. Austin, Chicago, Portland, San Diego, Washington DC). The project builds on the previous efforts of the City of San Antonio’s SA Tomorrow’s Sustainability Plan, which the City Council adopted, and which expressed interest in pursuing climate action. Following several council briefi ngs and with the election of Mayor Ron Nirenberg, the City Council passed a resolution on June 22, 2017 in support of the goals of the Paris Climate Accord. At the formal mayoral signing ceremony, CPS Energy committed $500,000 to UTSA to assist with the creation of a Climate Action and Adaptation Plan for the City of San Antonio. A Climate Action and Adaptation Plan is a strategy document that outlines a collection of measures and policies that reduce GHG emissions based upon a reduction target, evaluates climate-related impacts, and provides strategies to adapt and build resilience. The SA Climate Ready Project will explore both mitigation strategies and adaptation strategies. Mitigation aims to reduce or prevent the emission of GHGs, while adaptation aims to prepare the community, municipal government operations, and other key sectors for the projected impacts of climate change. This document presents an overview of the methodologies to be used as part of the SA Climate Ready Project. These methodologies were developed by the UTSA project team in consultation and collaboration with the City of San Antonio and CPS Energy Project Teams. Methodologies presented in this report include: 1) GHG Inventory Methodology, 2) Climate Projection Methodology, 3) Economic Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) Methodology, and 4) Public Engagement Plan and Timeline.

We consider the rationale for the escalation of enforcement during this period, as well as the expansion of enforcement to include local and state law enforcement agencies. Detailing in particular the role of local jails, private corrections corporations, and the communities that are financially dependent on the prison industry, the article also examines who benefits economically and politically from these changes. Throughout, we consider how the expansion of immigration enforcement has affected U.S. citizen children and spouses of unauthorized immigrants. We question whether U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is fulfilling its mandate to de-emphasize enforcement against parents, guardians, and children given that the number of detentions and removals in these categories c...
