Newspapers are used as a source for information to study possible corruption in the National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA). Data were derived from the Houston Post in TX, covering all published articles on the agency's budgets, contractors, problems, allegations, & claims against the agency & its contractors during the 1980s, in addition to governmental documents on the agency's expenditures & contractors. It is concluded that a clear pattern of mismanagement was responsible for NASA's fiscal problems during the period, though it was able to avoid penalties for its corrupt business practices, in addition to extensive lawbreaking & lack of penalties for the corporations to which it awarded large contracts. 3 Tables, 55 References.

This paper examines the effectiveness of two sentencing strategies for managing serious and violent juvenile offenders: judicial waiver to adult court and determinate sentencing in juvenile court. Corrections data were analyzed and it was found that both groups consistently receive longer terms of incarceration than are available through normal juvenile justice processing. However, this finding changed when actual time served was taken into consideration. A discriminant analysis showed that juveniles determin‐ately sentenced in juvenile court are more likely to be younger and receive and serve shorter sentences than juveniles waived to adult court and sentenced to prison.
