Causal inference on the engagement effects of athletic participation from within‐student variation

AbstractWe study how athletic participation relates to two measures of engagement, school attendance and disciplinary suspension, among students in an urban school district. Following one strand of the literature, we study within‐student variation, comparing the same student when playing sports versus not. To this literature, we contribute a microeconomic model to better interpret estimates obtained using such variation, and we propose and employ novel instrumental variables based on lagged season‐specific sports choices and the sports‐specific participation trajectories of other students. Our most rigorous models suggest positive effects of athletics on student attendance, but no significant effects on disciplinary suspension.

경찰공무원의 '징계 및 의사에 반하는 불리한 처분'에 대한 적정성 연구: 소청심사 결정사례 분석을 중심으로

본 연구의 목적은 경찰공무원의 징계 및 의사에 반하는 불리한 처분에 대한 적정성 향상방안을 모색하는 것에 있다. 연구는 경찰공무원의 징계 등 처분에 대한 형평성 수준을 선행연구와 관련 문헌을 통해 검토하였고, 경찰청 정보공개청구를 통해 징계처분의 현황을 파악하는 방법으로 수행했다. 소청심사위원회의 소청사례집에 경찰관련 사건을 전수조사하여 징계의 유형, 원인에 대해서도 분석했다. 연구결과 세 가지 측면에서 발전방안을 제시하였다. 첫째, 경찰공무원의 징계양정을 여타 공무원과의 형평성을 고려하여 조정할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 경찰공무원의 징계 등에 대한 데이터를 종합한 매뉴얼을 작성하고 징계의결 단계에서 제도적으로 활용해야 한다. 셋째, 경찰공무원의 원활한 소청심사 진행을 위해 경찰을 전담하는 소청심사위원회의 신설이 요청된다. This research aims to suggest ways to improve the effectiveness of disciplinary suspensions of police officers. Research is based on reviews of prior research and related documents, in addition to analysis of the current status of disciplinary action through public information provided by the National Police Agency. The researcher examined cases in appeal commission example book and analyzed the types and reasons for such cases. This study offers three proposals for improving the disciplinary system. First, the discipline guidelines of police officers should be examined in relation to those of other government employees. Second, a comprehensive manual for data from the disciplinary process should be created and used institutionally. Lastly, police officers should establish an appeals commission that already exists within various civil service operations.

Recent Experience with Intermediate Scrutiny Under the North Carolina Constitution: Blankenship v. Bartlett and King ex rel. Harvey- Barrow v. Beaufort County Board of Education

In two recent interpretations of the North Carolina Constitution, the Supreme Court of North Carolina adopted and developed a unique form of intermediate scrutiny. Blankenship v. Bartlett addressed a challenge to judicial districts under the state equal protection clause. King ex rel. Harvey-Barrow v. Beaufort County Board of Education decided a state constitutional claim to alternative-education services during a disciplinary suspension. By applying intermediate scrutiny, the court resolved these two challenging state constitutional cases. As the name implies—and as the bench and bar know very well— intermediate scrutiny falls somewhere “in between” strict scrutiny and rational basis review. Strict scrutiny, the “most exacting scrutiny,” is applied to suspect classifications and those impinging on fundamental

Disciplina fabril y estrategias de dominación corporal en una corporación automotriz transnacional

This ethnographic research relates capitalist discipline and labour resistancethrough body dimension. On the shopfloors of PSA Peugeot-Citroen Argentina,we discover a variety of dominant strategies bodily situated which constrain theexperience of each worker (factory codes, rules, disciplinary suspensions), a directconfrontation, a mechanism of power that exploit, dislocate and reconstruct thebody profitably. Even though the factory discipline inscribes forms of dominancethrough the body, it is necessary to understand how workers resist being reducedto them. Oppositional tactics appear, incidental ways of protest inside theautomotive labour process. Those practices of everyday life show an active culturalstruggle in contexts of domination, subordination and insubordination.

Characteristics of Students Who Reenroll after Serving a Disciplinary Suspension

The purpose of this study was to examine if students who reenroll following a disciplinary suspension had significant common characteristics. Gender, GPA at time of suspension, class status at time of suspension, type of violation(s) that resulted in suspension, number of disciplinary incidents prior to suspension, and length of suspension were the characteristics we examined. Results indicate that students who reenroll are more likely to be male, have a higher GPA than those who do not reenroll, and not be charged with minor conduct violations. Results also indicate that men are three times more likely to reenroll than women.

Validation of a preemployment MMPI index correlated with disciplinary suspension days of police officers

Abstract Following the judicial principles of good faith and rationality, an MMPI index (F + Pd + Ma) was selected for attempted validation in a law enforcement job context. Disciplinary suspension days after three year careers provided a criterion of job misperformance for 107 officers hired consecutively into a police department. Preemployment MMPIs were scored for the index, which has previously been proposed in a clinical psychology context as a measure of aggression. Each component of the index had been found to be related to some aspect of job misperformance in other studies. A statistically significant correlation of .223 was found. Analysis with a Receiver Operator Characteristic procedure located an optimal cutoff score of 192. A statistically significant Wilcoxon Statistic of .654 describes the effectiveness of the cutoff in differentiating the most extreme 10% of the officers from the remaining pool. Sensitivity of the index at 192 is .455; specificity is .854. Further construct validation is n...

Applicants' Fraud in Law Enforcement

Applicants' fraud in the form of “self-inflation” bias discriminates against the “honest” applicant who does not engage in a deceptive self-presentation. The MMPI dissimulation index is one measure of “self-inflation” or “faking-good,” which, in this study, was used to assess whether the index differentiated police applicants on the basis of disciplinary suspension days. A statistically significant relationship was observed. A 16-point T-score difference ( K < F) was the point of maximum predictive efficiency. Applicants who scored 16 or more points higher on Scale K than on Scale F were statistically more likely to have problematic police careers. Replication of the finding is warranted to evaluate the usefulness of F minus K as an employment screen in police settings. Threats to replication were discussed.

What procedural due process means to a school psychologist: A dialogue

Courts and the Congress have recently extended to school children safeguards encompassed by procedural due process in cases involving disciplinary suspensions and special education placements. The meaning of due process and its implications for psychologists are illustrated in a hypothetical dialogue between a constitutional lawyer and a school psychologist.
