Center for Civil Rights Remedies
Call for Papers
The Center for Civil Rights Remedies (CCRR) at the Civil Rights Project, in collaboration with the Research-to-Practice Collaborative on Race and Gender Disparities in School Discipline, seeks research papers that will inform school discipline policies at the district, state, and federal levels.
Approximately fifteen research papers will be selected for presentation at a national conference on understanding and addressing race and gender disparities in school discipline, to be held in Washington D.C. in November or December of 2012. The national conference will be followed by a federal briefing for members of Congress and the publication of papers in an edited volume. Previous conference-related books include, “Racial Inequity in Special Education” and “Dropouts in America,” both Harvard Education Press publications. The ultimate goal of the papers is to foster policies and practices that reduce schools’ reliance on suspension and expulsion to manage student behavior, with special attention to reducing disparities.
A complete description of the project and the detailed call for papers, including submission requirements and honoraria, is obtained here: http://civilrightsproject.ucla.edu/research/k-12-education/school-discipline/call-for-papers-research-to-inform-policymakers-with-a-focus-on-race-and-gender-disparities-in-school-discipline
Proposals must be submitted electronically to the Center for Civil Rights Remedies by February 28, 2012. Submit your cover page, abstract and proposal to crp@ucla.edu, with a cc to losendan@gmail.com.

New Academic Journal
International Journal of Rural Criminology
The first issue of the International Journal of Rural Criminology was released in early December. It is an electronically based journal published through the Knowledge Bank of The Ohio State Universities Libraries. IJRC provides a place for publication of both theoretical and empirical articles about rural crime. Its perspective is global and the journal will consider any topic that is both criminological and rural in focus. However, merely inserting the word 'rural' in a manuscript's title and then ignoring the cultural, economic, human, political and social dimensions of rural places and peoples is a form of tokenism insufficient to merit consideration for publication in IJRC. The next issue will be released in early June, 2012.
IRJC may be accessed at: https://kb.osu.edu/dspace/handle/1811/51123/browse?type=title, or through a google search.
All inquiries should be made to Joseph F. Donnermeyer, Editor, Room 408 C, Kottman Hall, School of Environment and Natural Resources, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio (donnermeyer.1@osu.edu; 010-614-292-9167).

Security Journal: Special Issue
Security in a Digital World: Understanding and Preventing Cybercrime Victimization
Call for Abstracts
Issue Description:
The growth of technology has had a major impact on the fields of criminology and crime prevention. In the last decade, the popularity of electronic devices—such as computers, cell phones, and portable tablets—and websites—such as social networking sites and blogs—have greatly altered both the types and prevalence of crime and victimization. As a result, online security and protection of private information has piqued the interest of researchers. Generally, however, the focus of previous research has been limited to describing the various types of online activity, with some emphasis on the use of security and/or privacy measures. To date, there has been little discussion of efforts that may help prevent cybercrime victimization.
This special issue will focus specifically on the factors that may influence cybercrime victimization and potential methods of cybercrime prevention. With the ever increasing dependency on technology and the growth of the cyberworld, there is little doubt that the demand for adequate security and crime prevention techniques will continue to grow as well.
Specific topics included in this issue will be:
• Strategies for prevention of online victimization (such as target hardening, third party policing, ‘environmental design,’ and other situational techniques), including the effectiveness of existing strategies
• Emerging issues in online victimization (such as sexting, privacy, smart phone security)
• Correlates of online victimization and implications for security and prevention
• Security against and prevention of online victimization related to:
o Online domains or “places” (such as social networks, chat rooms, blogs, shopping websites, banking websites, email hosting websites, search engines)
o Specific types of online crime and victimization (such as harassment, bullying, stalking, identity fraud, identity theft, hacking, malware)
o Specific types of online victim populations (such as children, college students, the elderly)
Abstract submission deadline is January 31, 2012. Submissions or inquiries can be directed to Brad Reyns (bradfordreyns@weber.edu) or Billy Henson (bwhenson@ship.edu).

We also seek presentations that relate matters of work not only to quality of life generally but also to how individuals choose to live justly. Presenters might wish to touch upon as well topics related to peacemaking, restorative justice, and nonviolent conflict resolution. The association puts great emphasis on the full participation of all at its conferences so presenters are encouraged to be brief. All sessions are plenary. We also seek to foster an atmosphere of hospitality during meals and after the work of the day is done.
You may submit an abstract for a scholarly paper or propose an entire panel session. JSA also encourages more creative modes of presentation including but not limited to video, photography, song, and interactive sessions.

- Opportunities to network with junior and senior scholars;
- Workshops addressing topics related to publishing, professionalization, and career planning;

PBS POV: “Better This World”
Airing
Tuesday, September 6th
The story of Bradley Crowder and David McKay, who were accused of intending to firebomb the 2008 Republican National Convention, is a dramatic tale of idealism, loyalty, crime and betrayal. Better This World follows the radicalization of these boyhood friends from Midland, Texas, under the tutelage of revolutionary activist Brandon Darby. The results: eight homemade bombs, multiple domestic terrorism charges and a high-stakes entrapment defense hinging on the actions of a controversial FBI informant. Better This World goes to the heart of the war on terror and its impact on civil liberties and political dissent in post-9/11 America.
