Public disenchantment with and distrust of American government is at an all-time high and who can blame them? In the face of widespread challenges the government seems paralyzed and unable to act. In American Democracy in Crisis [ADIC]: The Case for Rethinking Madisonian Government, Jeanne explains why we are in this situation, why the government is unable to respond to key challenges, & what we can do to right the ship.
Now in its 11ed., Adventures in Social Research, Data Analysis Using IBM SPSS Statistics is a text Jeanne co-authored with the legendary sociologist Earl Babbie, Fred Halley, & William E. Wagner.

Sample Research
Most nations have a short list of celebrated founders, while the contributions of others are lost. An example is Pakistan, where the nation’s founding is attributed to the Quaid-i-Azam. In "Pakistan's Forgotten Founders," Jeanne argues that Jinnah's important legacy should not overshadow the contributions of his contemporaries.
Does the energy sector pay more than 'lip-service' to the danger of cyber-attacks? Using an unobtrusive observation measure, this study examines how the risk of cyber-attacks ranks in the 10-K filings of a sample of electrical companies. The results are alarming in a sector described as 'uniquely critical.'

In "Beyond Transference," Jeanne examines the pedagogical benefits of using metaphoric critique.
John Rawls suggests that the preservation of self-respect is at the core of any theory of justice. It is precisely his conception of self-respect, however, that Jeanne argues in "Self-Respect and Rawlsian Justice" which creates serious problems for his theory as a whole. It not only opens him up to charges of inconsistency, but it underscores his failure to deliver on the promise of equality.
In "The Unknown Threat," a chapter in Voting in America: American Voting Systems in Flux: Debacles, Dangers, and Brave New Designs Jeanne examines one of the greatest dangers to the integrity of our electoral systems - the nations poll workers. In addition to examining the threat they pose to the electoral process, this chapter examines several reform proposals
Role-playing simulations enhance student learning. Typically simulations are divided along subfields. To bridge this divide, we designed and implemented a department-wide crisis simulation. The article describes the game & pedagogical benefits of this approach.
