Intelligence-Led Policing: Linking Local And State Policies To Establish A Comdefinition, Chad B. Prosser
Intelligence-Led Policing: Linking Local And State Policies To Establish A Comdefinition, Chad B. Prosser
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This research project studied agencies within local and state levels through their official policies in order to establish a comdefinition of ILP while establishing themes that link the predominate policing methodologies together. A definition could not be generated based on the data analyzed. Despite this, three themes emerged that link ILP agencies to agencies that implement other policing philosophies: Intelligence, Community, and Analysis. The majority of agencies do not implement ILP; however, almost all of the agencies within the sample frame of this study acknowledge or implement certain portions of the ILP methodology making it a flexible alternative to implement …

Throughout the world juvenile crime remains a major part of the criminal justice system.

Procedural Justice And Police Officers: The Forgotten Perspective, Kirby Laura Rhodes
Procedural Justice And Police Officers: The Forgotten Perspective, Kirby Laura Rhodes
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In recent years, there has been increased attention to questions about police legitimacy and the expectation of citizen compliance. Some scholars argue that procedurally just practices benefit police-citizen interactions (see Mazerolle et al., 2012, 2013). While there are many studies that focus on procedural justice and its effects on the civilian population, there is little research on police officers’ willingness to implement procedurally just practices. This study evaluates police officer perceptions of and willingness to engage in procedural justice using factor analytic techniques. There are four major findings: 1) Police officers are willing to engage in procedural justice, 2) police …

The Impact Of An Alcohol Deterrence Policy On College Students' Behavior, Matthew Douglas Defore
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The university under study developed an alcohol control policy in 2006 in response to a string of tragic alcohol-related deaths. At the time of the study, the policy had been in operation for six years with a growing number of student sanctions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the university's alcohol control policy to determine its deterrence impact on students. By surveying students who have been sanctioned under the alcohol control policy, the researcher sought to gain insight on the strengths and weaknesses of the policy as well as to use these responses as an opportunity to recommend …
Social Disorganization In University Residence Halls, William Patrick Fennell
Social Disorganization In University Residence Halls, William Patrick Fennell
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Social disorganization theory researchers have paid little attention to college and university campuses. To build on this limited research the current study attempted to analyze the incident rates on The University of Mississippi's Oxford campus to ascertain if social disorganization theory explained any variance between the rates of the different types of residence halls. The presence of three different types of residence halls during the 2012-2013 school year, with three different approaches to socialization, created a unique opportunity to study if halls that promoted environments that encouraged social control according to social disorganization theory would have lower incident rates. The …
A Comparison Of Adolescent Drug Use Between Urban And Rural Populations, Randall G. Rhodes
A Comparison Of Adolescent Drug Use Between Urban And Rural Populations, Randall G. Rhodes
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Prior research has found extensive levels of drug use among the adolescent population from standard metropolitan statistical areas. The reviestudies show high drug use rates in the urban minority population, particularly in regards to cocaine use. Also, arrestee data examining law violations compared to drug usage and the age of initial usage correlates to the onset of delinquent behavior in the juvenile population. There are relatively few studies that have examined rural populations in regards to drug usage rates in comparison to urban populations. This study compares, through descriptive statistical analysis, arrestee data from the rural adolescent population of Cape …
