Law enforcement institutions throughout the world are embracing New York City's "zero tolerance" approach to policing. Zero tolerance has become a global phenomenon, despite the fact that it has led to increased police brutality, wrongful arrests, racial profiling, & corruption. The global embrace of zero tolerance must be viewed as a component of social reproduction. Though this tactic seeks to uphold authority, it is instead a dangerous strategy that results only in "postliberal revanchism," revenge, & legalized brutality. 19 References. K. Larsen

The Advanced Light Source (ALS) is a third-generation synchrotron source at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, which operates the ALS as a U.S. Department of Energy national user facility open to scientists from academic, industrial, or government laboratories who submit peer-reviewed proposals. Based on a 1.9-GeV, low-emittance storage ring with long straight sections for insertion devices, the ALS is optimized for the highest brightness in the soft x-ray and vacuum ultraviolet spectral regions from undulator sources. Owing to the high brightness, which translates into a high flux of useful photons onto samples, the ALS is also a world-class source of shorter wavelength "intermediate-energy" x rays with both wiggler and bend-magnet sources. Infrared is also available from some bend-magnet ports.

THE PURPOSE OF ANY INQUIRY INTO THE ROLES AND EFECTS OF THE MASS MEDIA IN THE ELECTORAL PROCESS IS OFTEN GROUNDED IN TWO CRITICAL ASSUMPTIONS: THE EMPIRICAL APPRECPTION THAT THE MASS MEDIA DO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT IN DETERMINING A WINNER, AND THE NORMATIVE PRESUMPTION THAT THE MEDIA POSSESS A REPSONSILBITY TO EDUCATE THEIR AUDIENCE IN ORDER TO FOSTER A DEMOCRACY. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER IS TO ANALYZE THE MASS MEDIA'S CONSTRUCTION OF A CERTAIN TYPE OF UNTRADITIONAL CANDIDATE AND TO EXPLORE THE IMPLICATIONS THIS MAY HAVE FOR THE STATE OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY. IT ADDRESSES HOW AN IDEOLOGICAL MINORITY WAS CONSTRUCTED, AND ASSESSES WHETHER A SYSTEMATIC BAIS WAS PRESENT.
