The Subject

This paper deals with the applicability of statistical principles and methods to research in political science. The subject is virgin and comprehensive. At the outset it will be necessary to delimit the treatment to be given it here, and to state some of the premises upon which this treatment will be based.In the first place, the topic is unrelated to questions of public finance, or any of the bookkeeping aspects of government. I shall confine attention to more fundamental problems, distinctly psychological and sociological as well as political in character. These have to do with the nature and operation of forces that give rise to political activity and that determine its forms and its direction. A socio-political-psychology, quantitative in method, is the goal with respect to which orientation is sought.In the second place, only data of a kind now available for research will be considered. Every statistician will agree with Professor Merriam's demand for the development and extension of governmental reporting, but my immediate concern is with undeveloped possibilities of utilizing existing materials.In the third place, the desirability of a quantitative approach to political research problems is taken for granted. Yet the statistical method has serious limitations, not merely because it can never replace logic as a means of interpretation, but also because it is not universally available for scientific inquiry. The developments of recent years in the field of abnormal psychology, for example, have no quantitative method of discovery behind them. When subjective processes give rise to or accompany behavior, measurements of the latter may be possible.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>       This study consists of the results of the research conducted with convicted female prisoners who committed crimes against the immunity and body immunity in Ankara (Sincan), İzmir (Şakran) and İstanbul (Bakırköy) women's closed prisons. The scope of the research includes women convicted of crimes against life and body immunity, who are more religious than prisoners convicted of theft, drugs etc. In this respect, the factors that lead to the criminality of women, who were convicted of murder or attempt murder, convicted of wounding offenses and who defined themselves as religious, are determined. Another aim is to demonstrate the crime and victim relationship, how convicts explain criminal actions to themselves and their surroundings and how they justify themselves. Questionnaires and semi-structured interview techniques were used as a method. In this direction, the findings obtained from the results of the questionnaire conducted with 151 women convicts were evaluated by descriptive statistical method and the results of semi-structured interviews with 8 women were included in the results. These types of explanations, included in neutralization techniques, are: commitment to values, the role of the victim, and rejection of responsibility. In the first place, the victim sees the situation as a matter of honor and explains the guilt involved with their beliefs / beliefs. Secondly, the violence (domestic problems) that is experienced is said to be the result, as in the opposite party deserves it. In the third place, the victim rejects the responsibility, indicating that the mental illness or depression is the result of suicide.</p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>     Bu çalışma, Ankara (Sincan), İzmir (Şakran) ve İstanbul (Bakırköy) kadın kapalı ceza infaz kurumlarında bulunan hayata ve vücut dokunulmazlığına karşı suç işlemiş hükümlü kadın mahkûmlarla yapılan araştırma sonuçlarından oluşmaktadır. Araştırmanın kapsamı ise, hırsızlık, uyuşturucu vs. gibi suç türlerinden hüküm giymiş mahkûmlara kıyasla dindarlığı daha yüksek olan, hayata ve vücut dokunulmazlığına karşı suçlardan hüküm giymiş kadın mahkûmlarla sınırlandırılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda, adam öldürme veya adam öldürmeye teşebbüs, yaralama suçlarından hüküm giymiş olup, kendilerini dindar olarak tanımlayan kadınların, suça yönelmesindeki etken faktörler ele alınmış olup; kadın mahkûmlarda suç ve mağdur ilişkisi, suç eylemini kendisine ve çevresine açıklayıp, gerekçelendirme biçimlerinin ortaya çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem olarak anket ve yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat teknikleri beraber kullanılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda 151 kadın mahkûma uygulanan anket sonuçlarından elde edilen bulgular, tanımlayıcı istatistiksel metot ile değerlendirilmiş, ayrıca 8 kadınla yapılan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme sonuçlarına yer verilmiştir. Bulguların değerlendirilmesi sonucunda, hayata ve vücut dokunulmazlığına karşı suç işlemiş kadın mahkûmların karıştıkları suçu dindarlıkları içinde genellikle üç şekilde açıkladığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Nötrleştirme teknikleri içinde yer alan bu açıklama tipleri, değerlere bağlılık, mağdurun rolü ve sorumluluğu reddetme şeklindedir. Birincisinde, durumu namus meselesi olarak görme ve sahip olduğu değerlerle/inançla karıştıkları suçu açıklama söz konusudur. İkincisinde, maruz kalınan şiddet (aile içi sorunlar) sonucu, karşı tarafın bunu hak etmesi olarak açıklanmaktadır. Üçüncüsü ise, akli hastalık ya da bunalım sonucu bu suça karıştığını belirterek, sorumluluğu reddetme şeklindedir.</p>

The Subject

‘The National Bank of Turkey was founded in 1909 with British Government encouragement and support to further British economic enterprise in the Ottoman Empire’ so we are told in all die standard and respectable works on the subject. This is correct in form but incorrect in substance, for one cannot accept the implications it carries with it, in some cases explicitly stated. These are that, in the first place, the Foreign Office was instrumental in actually starting the Bank, in the second place, that the Bank succeeded very far in its objects, and in the third place, that it ever received much Foreign Office support in what it sought to do.

The Subject

The various published biographies and biographical notices of G.I. Gurdjieff (c.1865-1949) are of diverse style, quantity and content. While some have made considerable contributions to the subject, most attempts have reacted for or against Gurdjieff’s status as what might call an ‘Enlightened Master’. Little biographical writing on Gurdjieff has questioned the scope, reliability and prejudices of the sources. Further, possible resources have been neglected. The development in Gurdjieff’s ideas is often overlooked, his life is not sufficiently related to that development, and the lack of comparative research has failed to highlight Gurdjieff’s unique contributions. This article is structured in four parts. The first is an introduction, followed by an overview of existing biographical studies of Gurdjieff. The third part addresses bias in these studies, and this is followed by suggestions for future studies. It is concluded that fieldwork regarding the biography of Gurdjieff has been hampered by imperfect methodology. However, with better use of the source material, some of which has only recently been discovered, and a rigorous use of sources, a more balanced and nuanced picture of Gurdjieff’s life, and the development of his ideas and methods, should emerge.
