Paper presented at the annual meeting of the AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CRIMINOLOGY, Atlanta Marriott Marquis, Atlanta, Georgia, Nov 13, 2007 <Not Available>. 2009-11-27 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p205318_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: No one believes that all the parolees are fully rehabilitated and will not commit a crime again. No one believes that the treatment programs provided by correctional systems are effective enough to hinder future crimes. Reviewing Texas parole guidelines and other elements that affect recidivism will give us a more detailed look at the reliability of the guidelines and effectiveness. In this paper, I will analyze the reliability of Texas parole guideline by using the variables that 1) Texas Parole Guidelines adopt, 2) Texas Parole Guidelines do not adopt. If possible, the endeavor to find real causes of recidivism will be made in the paper. |

Paper presented at the annual meeting of the ASC Annual Meeting, St. Louis Adam's Mark, St. Louis, Missouri, Nov 12, 2008 <Not Available>. 2009-11-27 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p269652_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: While new parole guidelines have been enacted in Texas since 1999, their effectiveness and predictability have not been assessed. This paper examined5,712 inmates who were released on parole based on the parole guidelines between September 2001 and August 2003. Following up to five years, the paper assessed the reliability of the parole guidelines by seeking relationships between the parole guideline scores and success on parole. The paper also tried to create a new parole guidelines by adding recommended variables to enhance the predictability of the Texas parole guidelines. |

"Hostage Negotiation in an Age of "Terror": Considerations for International Guidelines" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the ISA's 49th ANNUAL CONVENTION, BRIDGING MULTIPLE DIVIDES, Hilton San Francisco, SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA, Mar 26, 2008 <Not Available>. 2009-11-27 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p253873_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: As the mandate of counterterrorism gains increasing importance in the security agenda of the international community, the process of hostage negotiation will find itself under intensified political scrutiny. Nations have taken notice of the potential of one country's actions in this area to have implications for the security of others. This paper draws from government policy, non-governmental organizational procedure, and critiques of recent hostage negotiations to advocate that there be renewed focus on appropriate ways for governments to respond in hostage crises involving insurgent, rebel, and/or terrorist groups.
The practicability of international codes of conduct and risks associated with their development are also explored. I argue that the development of a framework under which governments may negotiate for the safety of their citizens will inevitably entail re-examinations of major issues in international relations such as the diplomatic roles of state and non-state actors in times of crisis. I also propose a framework for 1) defining the actors and 2) mapping the relationship between the actors involved in modern international hostage situations. |
