Police Officer Aggression During Police-Civilian Encounters And Effect On Civilian Perception, James Aaron Plank
Police Officer Aggression During Police-Civilian Encounters And Effect On Civilian Perception, James Aaron Plank
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Trust in the police by the public is the cornerstone of public safety. A lack of trust in the police discourages citizens from reporting criminal behavior, leading to increased crime rates. A lack of trust can be the result of inappropriate actions taken by officers in police-civilian encounters, as perceived by the citizen. Although increased professional standards and training have been implemented in police departments across the U.S., researchers have not demonstrated how aggressive police officer behavior affects the civilian perception of the officer’s actions. The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a relationship between police …

Patient Perceptions Of Access To Chronic Pain Medications, Lauren Amy Durham
Patient Perceptions Of Access To Chronic Pain Medications, Lauren Amy Durham
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
AbstractThe 2014 Drug Enforcement Administration’s reclassification of hydrocodone combination products caused significant unintentional consequences to patients with chronic pain. Although a few researchers have looked at the problems that resulted immediately following the reclassification, none have as yet repeated their studies, creating a knowledge gap. Additionally, previous researchers have shown that most of the current opioid restricting policies in place today were not created using a strong evidence-based or ethically inclusive approach. The purpose of this study was to assess whether common factors identified as issues impacting care for these patients immediately following the reclassification continue to affect care standards. …
