Factors Related To Employment Of Previously Incarcerated Individuals, Toni Victoria Lewis
Factors Related To Employment Of Previously Incarcerated Individuals, Toni Victoria Lewis
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Employment amongst previously incarcerated individuals is a concern of the criminal justice system because being employed is considered a mitigator of reincarceration. While there is research about the stigma of incarceration in gaining employment, little is known about the factors associated with individuals being able to find employment. The purpose of this quantitative, correlational study was to identify whether there is a direct correlation between individual demographic features and employment status of individuals after 1 year or more of previously being incarcerated in North Carolina. General strain theory was the theoretical framework. The key research question focused on how release …
Police Culture Influence On Mental Health Of Federal Law Enforcement Officers, Ania Amat
Police Culture Influence On Mental Health Of Federal Law Enforcement Officers, Ania Amat
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Occupational stressors are inherent in police work. Left unmitigated, these stressors may have deleterious effects on officers’ overall health. Police agencies throughout the country offer organizational resilience programs to aid officers navigate stressors. A constraint keeping officers from seeking mental health wellness are the unspoken social norms of police culture. Police culture stigmatizes mental health seeking behaviors, deterring officers from accessing organizational resilience programs. The purpose of this study was to understand the perceptions and lived experiences of federal law enforcement officers regarding mental health-seeking behaviors and the influence of the police culture. Study participants included 16 federal law enforcement …

Pressure Of The Past: How Recalling Ostracism Influences Risk And Benefit Perception, Joseph Newton, Ulrich Von Hecker
Pressure Of The Past: How Recalling Ostracism Influences Risk And Benefit Perception, Joseph Newton, Ulrich Von Hecker
Journal of Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences
The affect heuristic suggests that emotional responses significantly influence perceptions of risk and benefit. We extend this model to test how recalling ostracism affects these perceptions across financial, health, and social domains, and test how time pressure moderates these effects. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: recalling either a time they were ostracized (ostracism condition) or included (inclusion condition), followed by evaluating risk and benefit scenarios under time pressure or no time pressure. While a growing body of evidence has linked ostracism to increases in risky decision-making, we found that recalling ostracism led to domain-specific, bi-directional changes …

Obstacles For Women In Policing Seeking Leadership Positions, Catina Dukes
Obstacles For Women In Policing Seeking Leadership Positions, Catina Dukes
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Women’s representation in policing has grown throughout time, yet women continue to be underrepresented in policing as well as higher-ranking leadership positions. Despite efforts to increase their representation, many women in policing have yet to receive the proper promotion that they are due over their male counterparts. Further, when women are promoted, they are usually assigned to deal with crimes such as sexual assault, child abuse, human trafficking, and domestic violence against women. While prior research has addressed these gaps, there are a lack of data on the challenges women encounter while working toward leadership positions in the police workforce. …
