A Study Of The Perceptions Of Leaders In The California Animal Welfare And Control Fields Regarding The "No-Kill" Philosophy, Marcia Mayeda
A Study Of The Perceptions Of Leaders In The California Animal Welfare And Control Fields Regarding The "No-Kill" Philosophy, Marcia Mayeda
Master's Theses
This study explores whether the beliefs, attitudes, and policy practices of California animal welfare and control leaders are accurately reflected and in accord with position statements encountered in the animal welfare literature regarding the no-kill philosophy. Key issues examined include responsibility for animal control, mission fulfillment, quality of life for sheltered animals, public expectations of animal welfare and control agencies, financial impacts of various policy options, terminology in current usage, and future trends. Study findings demonstrate that the literature is not an accurate reflection of leaders' perceptions. Rather, the findings suggest that there is in actuality far less disagreement between …

Implementing Public Policy : The Virginia Comprehensive Community Corrections Act For Local-Responsible Offenders, Tracey L. Jenkins
Implementing Public Policy : The Virginia Comprehensive Community Corrections Act For Local-Responsible Offenders, Tracey L. Jenkins
Master's Theses
This is a study of how the Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) attempted to implement a major crime initiative, the Comprehensive Community Corrections Act (CCCA). The aim is to explain the implementation process in DCJS with reference to organizational models developed by Richard Elmore (1978). A careful analysis of the day-to-day operation and decision-making processes of DCJS, with particular emphasis on the implementation of the CCCA, shows that DCJS normally corresponds with the expectations of the "organizational development" and "bureaucratic process" models described in Elmore's typology of organizations. Still, agencies often must adapt to political and policy changes that …
Serbo-American Relations, 1903-1913, Jason C. Vuic
Serbo-American Relations, 1903-1913, Jason C. Vuic
Master's Theses
Of the available studies concerning pre-World War I Serbia, few have shown more than a passing interest in that country's relations with the United States. Indeed, no books have appeared on the subject, while only four articles examine Serbo-American affairs during the kingdom's most dynamic decade, from 1903 to 1913. Though each is in some way valuable, these works fail to give an adequate account of the relations existing between Serbia and the United States. Therefore the following chapters explore Serbo-American affairs from the death of King Alexander I Obrenovic in June 1903, to the conclusion of the Second Balkan …
A Study Of The Relationship Between Motivational Factors And Incentives Among Division Board Members Of The American Heart Association, California Affiliate, Region Iii, Catherine Jensen
Master's Theses
This study measured the motivational factors influencing the decisions of volunteers to serve the American Heart Association as division board members, and also measured actual outcomes these board members report experiencing as a result of such service. Comparisons were made to determine the degree to which there is a match between motives and incentives according to four distinct categories. The four categories were normative, rational, affiliative, and status. In addition, individual statements expressing board members' attitudes about their service were gathered. The results of the study were intended to provide information useful in board member recruitment and retention plans. The …
Britain And The French Resistance 1940-1942 : A False Start, Laurie West Van Hook
Britain And The French Resistance 1940-1942 : A False Start, Laurie West Van Hook
Master's Theses
During the Second World War, the French Resistance failed to unify or work effectively with Charles de Gaulle, the movement's symbolic leader. The Resistance maintained a troublesome relations with Great Britain. Neither side overcame a series of conflicts, battling egos, and internal confusion. As a result, Britain and the Resistance never developed a mature relationship that could aid the Allied invasion of French North Africa in November 1942 (Torch) and Normandy in June 1955 (Overlord). The British lacked a unified policy toward the French Resistance. Acting out a sense of desperation and isolation, the British clung …

The United States And The Fascist Threat In Latin America During World War Ii, Larry Brent Ward
The United States And The Fascist Threat In Latin America During World War Ii, Larry Brent Ward
Master's Theses
This thesis is the author's attempt to locate the origins of policies employed by the United States during World War II to control, through confinement, deportation and repatriation, German and German Jewish nationals living in Latin America. It also recounts the difficulties that several German nationals faced at the hands of a somewhat intransigent but entirely apathetic United States government. Through an examination of select State Department records, memoirs of government officials and letters of Axis nationals interned by the United States during World War II, one can better understand the reasons behind this little known aspect of American foreign …
The 1990 Virginia Indoor Clean Air Act : A Case Study In Public Interest Lobbying, Louise Ryland Thornton
The 1990 Virginia Indoor Clean Air Act : A Case Study In Public Interest Lobbying, Louise Ryland Thornton
Master's Theses
This thesis compares and contrasts the tactics and techniques used by Virginia public interest lobbyists in the passage of the 1990 VIRGINIA INDOOR CLEAN AIR ACT with Alan Rosenthal's analysis of state legislative lobbying found in his book, THE THIRD HOUSE. Primary sources include personal interviews and legislative documents, while newspaper articles provide the secondary source of information. Lobbyists used the indirect and direct lobbying techniques, suggested in Rosenthal's framework, to persuade others to their point of view. Supporters of the CLEAN AIR BILL had to deviate, in part, from some of Rosenthal's direct lobbying strategies due to Virginia's history …
Anna Letitia Barabauld's Poetic Vision: Community, Imagination, And The Quotidian, Carrie Ann Woods
Anna Letitia Barabauld's Poetic Vision: Community, Imagination, And The Quotidian, Carrie Ann Woods
Master's Theses
With the publication of her Poems in 1773, favorable reviews welcomed Anna Letitia Barbauld into the literary world. However, Barbauld has traditionally been left out of English literature anthologies, condemned to the murky depths of obscurity. Why has this talented British poet of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries been undeservedly marginalized? Perhaps she has never achieved the status of a major literary figure because her impulse towards community places her outside the mainstream Romantic tradition dominated by the "egotistical sublime." In the poetry of William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, and John Keats, an …
