Forgiveness has frequently been theorized to be related to decreased psychological distress, and longitudinal survey research is important for the examination of this relationship. The prospective relation of forgiveness to psychological distress symptoms (i.e., depression, anxiety, and stress) at a later time point (an average of 36 weeks later) was examined in a sample of 182 female undergrad...

We develop a mathematical framework aimed at analyzing repeat and nearrepeat effects in crime data. Parsing burglary data from Long Beach, CA according to different counting methods, we determine the probability distribution functions for the time interval s between repeat offenses. We then compare these observed distributions to theoretically derived distributions in which the repeat effects a...

This research focused on whether or not demographic characteristics influence repeat violent offenses. Discussions occurred regarding the potential of the correlation between demographic values in census block groups of the City of Madison, Wisconsin and repeat violent offenses from January 2000 to November 2007. Statistical analysis, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and repeat violent off...

This article uses a two-period version of the standard economic model of deterrence to study whether sanctions should depend on an individual’s record of prior convictions—his offense history. The principal contribution of the article is to demonstrate that it may be optimal to treat repeat offenders disadvantageously because such a policy serves to enhance deterrence: When an individual contem...

I present two disparate examples of isospin violation in hadronic B-decays. In the first, the presence of ρ 0-ω mixing in the decay B ∓ → ρ ∓ ρ 0 (ω) → ρ ∓ π + π − permits the extraction of sgn(sin α), where α is the usual angle of the unitarity triangle, with minimal hadronic uncertainty. In the second, the presence of π 0-η, η ′ mixing can obscure the extraction of sin 2α from an isospin anal...

Background Research suggests that DUI offenders have an increased prevalence of alcohol abuse and higher levels of impulsivity compared with drivers with no history of DUI. However, reports linking alcohol consumption, impulsivity, and DUI offenses are primarily based on self-reports and fail to identify specific behavioral and cognitive mechanisms that might underlie impulsivity and contribute...
