Traces the highly politicized & publicized 1984 ritual abuse case in the Miami (FL) suburb of Country Walk where Ileana Fuster (age 17), an undocumented Honduran worker, & her husband, Francisco, ran a home-based babysitting service. It is argued that the case against the Fusters was weak, the atmosphere hysterical, & months of brainwashing techniques were used by prosecution psychologists to turn Ileana against her husband, & plant in her mind much of the testimony on Satanic abuse that she made. Ultimately, in exchange for the confession, she was given a ten-year prison term while her husband was sentenced to six life terms plus 165 years. It is argued that then Dade county prosecutor Janet Reno endorsed questionable prosecution methods because she needed a conviction to win reelection. F. Shephard

Within the leadership process, the positive self-concept of a leader can have an impact on quality reciprocal relations with subordinates and on the conduct of the leader and the subordinates. The results of the research into the selfconcept of administrative unit leaders indicate that the most poorly expressed areas of self-concept were the social and physical self-concept, while the highest was the general self-concept. Since it is important for leaders to have well developed skills, especially social skills and skills for working with people, the result of the research into the social self-concept of leaders in central government bodies (administrative units) is an important indicator of leaders' concepts of their own social image. The paper focuses on the self-concept of administrative unit leaders and presents results of research carried out in that field.

В настоящее время вопрос об одном из основных институтов судопроизводства – административном – стоит весьма остро. Это объясняется множеством различных объективных и субъективных причин, но, в первую очередь, тем, что значительно расширились возможности судебного контроля над действиями публичной администрации и ее должностных лиц. Они не имеют каких-либо ограничений, поэтому практически любой вопрос, находящийся в ведении органов публичной администрации, может быть передан на рассмотрение соответствующего суда в соответствии с установленными законодательством правилами подведомственности и подсудности. Объективное существования института административной юстиции, необходимость исследования его составных положений и потребность дальнейшего законодательного регулирования явились основной целью настоящей работы, чья научная новизна, таким образом, заключается в раскрытии сущности функции судебного контроля в рамках уже вступившего в законную силу Кодекса административного судопроизводства РФ, которая заключается в проверке законности и обоснованности действий органов, должностных лиц, наделенных властными полномочиями, в ходе рассмотрения судами дел, отнесенных к компетенции последних. В статье выявляются особенности правового регулирования административного судопроизводства. Автор исследует проблемные аспекты административного судопроизводства, к которым можно отнести следующее: универсальный перечень категорий административных дел, определение подведомственности административных дел, отсутствие законодательного определения понятия «административное судопроизводство» и др. ; Nowadays the question about one of the basic institutes of justice – administrative – is very acute. This is due to various objective and subjective reasons, but primarily for those that have greatly expanded the possibilities of judicial control over the actions of the public administration and its officials. They do not have any restrictions, so almost any issue under the jurisdiction of the public administration organs may be transferred to the appropriate court in accordance with the established law rules of jurisdiction and cognizance. Objective existence of the Institute of administrative justice, the need to study its constituent provisions, and the need for further legislative regulation were the main objectives of the present work. So the scientific novelty of the work lies in the discovery of the essence of judicial control in the framework of an enforceable code of administrative procedure of the Russian Federation, which is to verify the legality and validity of actions of institutions, authority officials, in the course of consideration by courts of causes related to the competence of the latter. The article reveals the peculiarities of legal regulation of administrative procedure. The author explores the problematic aspects of administrative proceedings, which include a universal list of categories of administrative cases, determination of jurisdiction of administrative cases and the lack of a legal definition of «administrative court proceedings».

The extent of drug abuse problem severity was measured in a sample of juvenile detention detainees. Contrary to existing studies that mostly focus on drug use consumption patterns in juvenile detainees, the present study quantified problem severity based on an adolescent drug abuse scale score. Findings indicate that among valid questionnaires, about 50% of the juvenile detainees scored in a elevated range, indicating a possible need for drug abuse treatment. Issues related to the measurement of problem severity and resulting treatment needs of youth held in juvenile detention settings are discussed.
