TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used National Crime Survey data on the victim's decision to report a crime to the police to test Black's theory of the behavior of law and found that the data are inconsistent with the propositions derived from The Behavior of Law and strongly suggest that a theory attempting to explain criminal law cannot ignore the gravity of the infraction against legal norms.
Abstract: In The Behavior of Law, Black (1976) sets forth a theory of law that he argues explains variations in law across societies and among individuals within societies. Black argues that law can be conceived of as a quantitative variable, measured by the number and scope of prohibitions, obligations and other standards to which people are subject. Law varies, according to Black, with other aspects of social life, including stratification, morphology, culture, organization, and social control. Many of Black's principal propositions regarding the quantity of law are tested in this paper with National Crime Survey data on the victim's decision to report a crime to the police. An alternative model that views the quantity of law as depending largely on the gravity of the infraction against legal norms is posed and tested against Black's theory. The data are generally inconsistent with the propositions derived from The Behavior of Law and strongly suggest that a theory attempting to explain the criminal law cannot ignore the gravity of the infraction against legal norms.

TL;DR: Sexton as mentioned in this paper examined the role of the building administrator in resolving the conflict and found that building administrators are subjected to extraordinary pressure and in many cases are ill-prepared to respond effectively.
Abstract: Photo: Michael Sexton, Texas A&M University. Rapid change always places demands on school administrators responsible for program development and implementation. The Education for All Handicapped Children Act, Public Law 94-142, is no exception. Closer examination of this law and companion state education statutes re veals that building administrators are subjected to extraordinary pressure and in many cases are ill-prepared to respond effectively. The require ment for mainstreaming contained in nearly all recent regulations has caught many principals un prepared, confused, and angered. Why is mainstreaming such a sensitive issue? What is the role of the building administrator in resolving the conflict?

TL;DR: It is generally accepted that a company director's status, whether fiduciary or common law, is related to the fact that his or her duties are owed to the company as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Whatever may be the correct analysis of a company director's status, it is generally accepted that his duties, whether fiduciary or common law, are owed to the company. The reasons why this is considered appropriate, and indeed commercially desirable, are manifold. From the conceptual point of view probably the most important is to do with the doctrine of corporate personality. Directors, as directors, owe their duties to their corporate principal and no one else. Of course logically the fact that one owes a duty to another does not prevent that duty being owed to a third party. The simple rule, that directors as directors owe their duties to the company, is reflected in a number of other rules, such as the so called rule in Foss v. Harbottle. In recent years the courts have been prepared to lift the corporate veil and disregard the fictional independent entity where justice so requires.

TL;DR: In this article, the process of teacher-supervisor interaction is discussed in terms of RAD-retelling, agenda, and discussion components, which sets out principles of learning in observable behavior patterns.
Abstract: items sets out principles of learning in observable behavior patterns. This instrument is designed to identify obstacles to success in learning. The process of teacher-supervisor interaction is discussed in terms of RAD-retelling, agenda, and discussion components. Despite a cumbersome syntax, and unnecessary chatter which hinders easy clarity, here is a book for practitioners interested in clinical supervision and/or interaction analysis models. This book will appeal to those who wish to approach supervision of instruction in a systematic mode. While it is unfortunate that the author has not field tested his
