Item Courts and the Economy, How Fiscal Constraints Affect the Judiciary and Access to Justice(IUPUI (Campus). Center for Criminal Justice Research, 2012-06) Nagle, Matthew; Braun, Erin; Mulholland, ZacharyThe recession of 2008 put pressure on nearly every sector in society to do more with less. Unemployment and constrained investment by the private sector reduced economic output, which led to declining tax revenues for state and local governments. As with previous recessions, as the number of people out of work increases, the demand for government services tends to increase just as the money collected to provide those services declines. Elected officials face the difficult task of determining how to allocate increasingly scarce public dollars for essential services.Item Indiana in Perspective(IU Public Policy Institute, 2015-01) Marron, John; Mulholland, ZacharyThe second project under the Policy Choices Initiative, Thriving Communities, Thriving State, continues the conversation about the challenges to and opportunities for creating a vibrant future for Indiana, but from a place-based context. This issue brief serves as an overview of the typology used in Thriving Communities, (urban areas, mid-sized areas, and small town/rural areas) and presents summary data based on this typology, including demographics, health and well-being data, and economic data. Place is an important unit of analysis in the competition for attracting business and residents. Ultimately, however, the futures of many Hoosier communities are inextricably inked to the successes of surrounding communities. While every place has its own unique set of needs and successes, leaders must think hard about how those things that create identity for their community can continue to add community value as part of a network of places.Item The Value of Education: A Comprehensive Look at the Benefits Associated with Higher Education(IUPUI (Campus). Center for Criminal Justice Research, 2011-06) Mulholland, ZacharyThe value of a college education is often measured by the economic costs or benefits to the individual pursuing the education. However, this narrow focus overlooks the many private and public benefits that are associated with higher levels of education. From lower incarceration and obesity rates to higher levels of civic engagement and volunteerism, education is associated with a broad array of benefits to both individuals and society. With state and federal budgets battered in the wake of the recent recession and with many publicly questioning whether the high price of postsecondary education is worth the cost, this report presents some of the comprehensive benefits related to higher levels of education and highlights the importance of education in an increasingly global economy.Item The Value of Education: A Comprehensive Look at the Benefits Associated with Higher Education(IUPUI (Campus).
