• In Domestic Violence

An interim legislative committee is crafting pioneering child custody measures that promise to result in a collision between groups advocating for victims of domestic violence and advocates for fathers' rights. The most dramatic changes codify the concept of coercive control , which is a pattern of behavior used to dominate an ex-spouse, the other parent or intimate partner. A judge would determine custody and visitation based on whether there is a pattern of controlling behavior by one or both of the parents.

• Application of the Fair Labor Standards Act to Domestic Service

The Department of Labor (the Department or DOL) proposes to revise the current Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA or the Act) regulations pertaining to the exemption for companionship services and live-in domestic services. Section 13(a)(15) of the FLSA exempts from its minimum wage and overtime provisions domestic service employees employed ``to provide companionship services for individuals who (because of age or infirmity) are unable to care for themselves (as such terms are defined and delimited by regulations of the Secretary).'' Section 13(b)(21) of the FLSA exempts from the overtime provision any employee employed ``in domestic service in a household and who resides in such household.'' These exemptions were enacted in 1974 at the same time that Congress amended the FLSA to extend co...

• Acceptability of a Stage-Matched Expert System Intervention for Domestic Violence Offenders

Most interventions for men who batter are standardized and "one-size-fits-all," neglecting individual differences in readiness to change. A multimedia expert system intervention based on the transtheoretical model (the "stage model") was developed as an adjunct to traditional court-mandated programs. The expert system assesses stage of change, decisional balance, self-efficacy, and processes of change and provides immediate individualized stage-matched feedback designed to increase readiness to end the violence. Fifty-eight male batterer intervention program clients were invited by agency staff to complete an expert system session and an evaluation of the program; 33 men were recruited at program intake and the remainder from ongoing groups. Responses to the intervention were very posit...

• An Examination of Sec Investigative Bias Among Foreign Registrants and Domestic Registrants with Foreign Operations

The objective of this study is to examine country-specific factors that are related to the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) issuance of foreign-related Accounting and Auditing Enforcement Releases (AAER). Foreign-related AAERs include sanctions issued against foreign firms registered in the US and against domestic firms with foreign operations. The SEC's objectives of prevention and deterrence are compromised to the extent that intentional misstatements are overlooked for any portion of the registrant population. This study makes two contributions to the existing literature. First, although prior research evaluates AAER composition, no study has tested whether macro-level risk factors can explain the SEC's issuance of AAERs. Second, while numerous papers have discussed the reg...
