Latinos In The South: Community, Family, And Identity, José Tránsito Ayala Rodriguez
Latinos In The South: Community, Family, And Identity, José Tránsito Ayala Rodriguez
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
As Latinos have migrated at high rates to the U.S. South in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the region has become known as a “new immigrant destination” and the “Nuevo South” yet political science research documenting the dynamics of Latino identity in the Nuevo South has been scarce. In this thesis I seek to understand the roles of Latino panethnic, U.S. (American) and Southern identity on factors informing the development of Latino community building. I use the 2016 Blair Center Poll to test social identity and family intimacy theories through a quantitative analysis of the effects of attachment …

Rethinking Immigration Justice: Mexican Community Activism While Serving Migrants In Transit., Angélica Villagrana
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This research study focuses on the externalization of migration control and its effects on staffmembers of community organizations that serve Central American migrants in transit.

Data collected provide empirical evidence contextual …
Alcohol Abuse And Misuse Amongst Homeless Persons In Northwest Arkansas, Reilly Gibson
Alcohol Abuse And Misuse Amongst Homeless Persons In Northwest Arkansas, Reilly Gibson
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Alcohol misuse and abuse has been found to be a detrimental risk to individuals having significant impact on their overall health and well-being.

Using in-depth interviews among homeless adults in Northwest Arkansas (n=168), the current study examines the role of social vulnerabilities, individual risks, and social and psychological resources in explaining alcohol abuse history. Findings support the hypothesis that a person’s vulnerabilities and risks are associated with alcohol abuse histories. Persons who …

Geospatial Analysis Of Registered Sex Offenders: A Case Study From Pulaski County, Arkansas, Maggie Rose Bridges
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The objective of this case study was to analyze the spatial distribution patterns of the residences of registered sex offenders in Pulaski County, Arkansas to determine the impact of state enforced residence restrictions. Density and clustering factors were used to identify census tracts of the study area with high and low concentrations of offenders. These zones were then compared to identify which characteristics were similar and dissimilar between high and low concentration zones. The results indicate that there is a non-random distribution of registered sex offenders in the study area. The findings also indicate that the residence restrictions placed on …
