Philosophy into Practice? Community Policing Units and Domestic Violence Victim Participation
Much research has focused on the police response to domestic violence; however, relatively little research has considered performance differences of various types of police officers. Although there has been widespread adoption of community policing by police departments across the country, it is not conclusive as to whether units with a specific community policing philosophy perform better than traditional units when handling domestic violence calls. The current study addresses this issue by analyzing the factors associated with victim participation; specifically, do officers and detectives operating under a specific community policing mandate produce higher rates of victim participation? Bivariate and multivariate analyses indicate that victim participation rates did not differ by a community policing orientation; rather, situational factors exert the strongest effect on victim participation

The use of theory in research relating to open access: practitioner perspectives
The relationship between theory and practice has long been considered problematic for many applied academic disciplines. In this short paper we report preliminary findings from a twoâyear research project investigating the ways and the extent that theory and practice have interacted in the development of openâaccess (OA) approaches to the publishing and dissemination of research outputs. Based on interviews with practitioners and researchers working on OA related issues, we explore the ways in which theory is (and isn't) of value to practice. We find that while practitioners acknowledge that theory has the potential to improve understanding, bestow credibility on work, and codify existing knowledge about OA, they also perceive it as âmood musicâ to the practical work of OA, lacking explicit links to action
The Importance of Expectation Fulfillment on Domestic Violence Victimsâ Satisfaction with the Police in the UK
Purpose â This paper seeks to investigate what victims of domestic violence expect police to do for them, and how these expectations subsequently influence their levels of satisfaction.
Design/methodology/approach â Structured interviews with 222 victims of domestic violence were conducted by staff from an integrated community-based service delivery agency in Cardiff, Wales. Multivariate analyses were performed to reveal the factors that contribute to domestic violence victims\u27 satisfaction with the police.
Findings â Consistent with the expectancy disconfirmation model, results indicate that the most important determinant of satisfaction is the extent to which victims\u27 expectations about police behaviour and demeanour are fulfilled.
Originality/value â The results of this study and implications for police policy are discusse

Full major-shell calculation for states that were degenerate in a single-j-shell calculation
A full fp calculation is performed for states which were degenerate in a
single-j-shell calculation in which isospin-zero two-body matrix elements were
set to zero energy. Most of the splitting in a complete shell calculation (but
not all) comes from the T=0 part of the interaction.Comment: 5 pages, RevTeX4. Submitted to Physical Review

Ratio of Isoscalar to Isovector Core Polarization for Magnetic Moments
In calculations of isoscalar magnetic moments of odd-odd N=Z nuclei it was
found that for medium to heavy mass nuclei large scale shell model calculations
yielded results which were very close to much simpler single j shell ones. To
understand this we compare isoscalar and isovector configuration mixing in
first order perturbation theory using a spin dependant delata interaction.The
isoscalar corrections are much smalle
