The Bank Robbery: A Behavioral Observation Exercise for Enhancing Understanding of Reliability

Background: The concept of reliability is central to conducting—and understanding—research in Psychology. Students’ understanding of concepts are strengthened when they learn by applying concepts. Objective: This article describes initial evidence of an activity for teaching reliability. Method: Students watched a short video of a staged bank robbery. They then tested the reliability of two different forms of police instructions for eyewitness recall. In so doing, they gained practice at calculating and interpreting inter-rater reliability and test-retest reliability. Results: Data collected from N = 191 students indicates that the exercise has a statistically significant positive effect on student understanding of and confidence about reliability concepts contributes to a roughly 20% increase in performance when comparing responses on pre- and post-exercise multiple choice questions. Conclusion: The activity gives students practice with the concept of reliability in a way that is engaging and memorable insofar as it demonstrates the implications of reliability for the real world. Teaching Implications: The activity is straightforward to implement and encourages students to learn by “doing.”

Romanian documentary in transition : the role of documentary films in reshaping post-communist Romanian identity

Since the fall of communism in 1989, Romanian citizens have changed dramatically, along with Romanian electronic media, which have transformed themselves from a one-party-controlled institution to a plethora of commercial broadcasters. By focusing on this era of dramatic transition, this thesis argues that documentary films have provided Romanians with the tools needed to deal with the past critically. More specifically, the intent of this thesis is to analyze how documentary films do the work of selecting, recollecting, and re-presenting narratives of the past, and to demonstrate that editorial choices resonate with wider social needs. The scope is limited to a short history of the documentary genre, focusing on a detailed analysis of two post-communist documentaries: Memorial of Pain ('Memorialul durerii', 1991), by TV producer Lucia Hossu-Longin and The Great Communist Bank Robbery ("Marele jaf comunist', 2004), by Alexandru Solomon. Ultimately, the thesis traces the ways in which trauma, shame, and amnesia also influence the shaping of both documentaries and identities.

Cyber Crime Threats, Strategies to Overcome, and Future Trends in the Banking Industry

Electronic banking, with its inherent advantages for the banking industry as well as the customer, is an area with tremendous growth potential. This field has also seen a corresponding increase in network security breaches, data thefts/loss, identity thefts and other white-collar crimes resulting in huge losses to the banking industry as well as the banking clientele. Losses by the banking industry worldwide due to white- collar crimes are in billions of dollars and far outstrip conventional methods of bank robbery. The unprecedented speed at which net banking has evolved, the ubiquitous and global nature of open networks and the increasing reliance on information technology have all added up to provide an environment of enhanced security challenges. Amendments in the IT act, banking regulations and the coming explosion in WAP are issues that need to be taken into account by the industry.

Behind Bartkus

A young defense attorney earns his client, charged in federal court with bank robbery, a jury acquittal. (It’s the attorney’s first.) One would expect the impartial judge to thank the jury for its service. Instead, this one harangues both jury and defense attorney (“entailing changes in his complexion from red to purple to dead white”), publicly rails against the verdict, attempts to bar the jurors from future service, refuses to release the defendant, and successfully prods prosecutors to bring a duplicative state prosecution that would end in conviction for the same crime. To anyone who respects the rule of law—or at the very least to anyone who respects the American jury—this should be deeply troubling. Yet when it took place in a Chicago federal courtroom in December 1953, state prosecutors leapt at the federal judge’s call. And when the appeal of the duplicative state prosecution reached the United States Supreme Court, the defendant lost 5-4. Criminal practitioners know that result as Bartkus v. Illinois, 359 U.S. 121 (1959), a rule of double-jeopardy “dual sovereignty” that the Court reaffirmed in 2019. But next to nobody appreciates how it began in that Chicago federal courtroom. That history comes to life in the unpublished notes of the remarkable defense lawyer. It is a story that underscores just how wrongheaded is the legal rule, and that makes vivid the abuse of judicial power.
