This report takes advantage of the research utility of criminal history record information by using this information to better understand the reporting of identity theft arrests in Arizona and subsequent criminal justice system activity.
The Arizona Computerized Criminal History records system serves as a central repository for the collection, maintenance, and sharing of information on individuals arrested and processed by Arizona's criminal justice system.
Triptych depicting backstage preparations during a kabuki play.
Depicted are the kabuki actors Nakamura Shikan IV 四代目 中村 芝翫 as the wood cutter Ōtomo Kuronushi 大伴 黒主, who is plotting a coup d'état, and Sawamura Tanosuke III 三代目 中村 芝翫 as Sumizome 墨染, the spirit of the cherry tree.
This diptych portrays the actors Ichikawa Ebizō V 五代目 市川 海老蔵 as Musashibō Benkei 武蔵坊 辨慶 (left) and Ichikawa Danjurō VIII 八代目 市川 団十郎 as Togashi Saemon 富樫 左衛門 (right).
This diptych shows the ghost of Asakura Tōgo 朝倉當吾 returning to haunt the man responsible for his death, the corrupt governor Orikoshi Tairyō 織越大領. A kappa (a traditional folk monster) tumbles comically at Orikoshi’s feet.

This triptych shows a scene from the kabuki play Yoshitsune Senbon Zakura (Yoshitsune and the Thousand Cherry Trees).
Research into the sensitivity and vulnerability of urban water systems in Arizona reveals that managers are more concerned about factors such as population growth projections, economic trends, and revenue flows. Reliance on groundwater resources in many cases obscures recognition of any direct impact of precipitation on water supply. Given the low level of perceived climate risk among many providers interviewed for this study, it would seem unlikely that climate information would be needed. However, pockets of sensitivity and vulnerability to climatic impacts do exist in the four study areas covered in this study.
The study had three main goals: (1) to assess the vulnerability of groundwater-dependent agriculture to climate variability, (2) to identify historical and current processes of adaptation to the vagaries of climate in the region— these refer to both system wide adaptations and individual farmer’s adaptations, and, (3) to assess the use of and needs for seasonal climate forecast information in agricultural decision making. The report is targeted at institutional stakeholders (i.e., agricultural extension personnel), physical scientists (particularly climatologists), and policymakers (at the level of NOAA and other federal agencies). Specific recommendations are made to these groups in order to improve the delivery of seasonal forecasts, set research priorities, and inform public policy.
