Dignity, Not Deadly Force
No full textWhile domestic security forces around the world equip themselves with military-grade weapons and surveillance technologies, those who research crime have reached a different consensus: To reduce lawbreaking, officers should listen to the accused, show basic courtesy, and exhibit evenhandedness.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

The collapse of constitutional remedies /
No full textAziz Z. Huq examines what happens when our constitutional rights are violated. Many people think that federal courts will step in then and provide a remedy. But for most people, and especially for the vulnerable in our society, they won't lift a finger. As Huq argues, the powerful often get quicker access to the courts and more fulsome judicial review, which shows a break from the way in which the courts were originally designed. This book shows the deep ironies of judicial independence and charts a part of getting free of its most baleful effects
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
