This article defines cross-nativity intermarriage in four generations of Canadians and explores whether cross-nativity partnering is associated with political assimilation—in this case, similarity in voting and political activities between immigrants with native-born partners and third-plus-generation immigrants. We find that foreign-born residents with Canadian-born partners do not differ from third-plus-generation residents who have Canadian-born partners in their propensities to vote or in the number of political activities in which they participate. Conversely, the foreign-born with foreign-born partners are less likely than the third-plus generation to have voted in a previous federal election; if the foreign-born immigrated later in adolescence or in adulthood, they also are less likely to participate in other political activities. Differences in demographic and socioeconomic characteristics underlie the greater likelihood that second and third-plus generations will engage in political activities.

Many post-secondary institutions are developing policies and programs aimed at improving responses to sexual assault experienced by students. In some areas, such as Ontario, Canada, the government has mandated post-secondary institutions to do so. However significant these initiatives, they are predicated on the assumption that students trust, and want to engage with, the university following sexual violence. This study explores students' perceptions of sexual assault policies and services on one mid-size university campus focusing specifically on how trust factors into reporting sexual victimization and using services. Findings show that students believe that sexual assault policies and programs exist, but this does not meanstudents are willing to use such resources or that they even trust that their university has students' needs and interests at the fore. This paper discusses policy and programmatic considerations for building student trust in their post-secondary institutions to encourage student use of campus support. ; Beaucoup d'établissements postsecondaires conçoivent des politiques et programmes visant l'amélioration de leur réponse aux agressions sexuelles vécues par les étudiants. Dans certains lieux, comme en Ontario, au Canada, le gouvernement a obligé les établissements postsecondaires à le faire. Quelle que soit l'importance des initiatives, elles impliquent que les étudiants ont confiance en l'université et qu'ils veulent s'engager avec elle après avoir subi de la violence sexuelle. Cette étude examine les perceptions, parmi les étudiants du campus d'une université de taille moyenne, quant à la politique et aux services en matière de violence sexuelle. Elle se concentre spécifiquement sur le rôle de la confiance dans le signalement de la violence sexuelle et dans l'utilisation des services. La conclusion est que les étudiants croient que des politiques et des programmes en matière d'agression sexuelle existent, mais que cela ne veut pas dire qu'ils sont prêts à utiliser ces ressources ou même qu'ils ont confiance que leur université met les besoins et les intérêts des étudiants au premier plan. Cette étude aborde la politique et les considérations pragmatiques pour l'amélioration de la confiance des étudiants dans leur établissement postsecondaire afin d'encourager le recours à l'assistance du campus parmi les étudiants.

How realistic are media portrayals of radical, "homegrown" Islamic terrorists filling US prisons? With prisons a fertile recruiting ground for Islam, what impact does the religion have on life behind bars? Muslims in US Prisons systematically explores the cultural, legal, political, and religious issues shaping the Muslim prison experience. The authors probe the topic from the perspectives of both prisoners and the criminal justice system. In the process, they illuminate larger issues of race and imprisonment, inmate culture, and rehabilitation. The result is a revealing look at an often sensationalized but understudied population
