Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

Addressing the issues that precipitates criminal behavior and helping the offender understand the factors that lead them to engage in criminal behavior are overly complex.

Supporting evidence was found for the mediating role of social support on the shame-resilience interaction as well as for …

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
For decades, researchers have examined the relationship between pornography use, anxiety, and depression.
