Leading A Readiness Program For Low-Income Students Within A Preschool Setting, Renee Murtaugh
Leading A Readiness Program For Low-Income Students Within A Preschool Setting, Renee Murtaugh
Theses and Dissertations
The solution to narrowing the achievement gap between low socioeconomic students and high socioeconomic students has included endless approaches and interventions, including full day pre-school programs (NAEP, 1999; Snow, Burns, & Griffith, 1998).This action research project focused specifically on the needs of low-income preschool students and concentrated on closing the achievement gap among the SES subgroups within the By-the-Sea School District preschool Kindergarten classrooms. Using Monahan's (2003) 9-Step Change Model as a framework for change, classroom teachers worked collaboratively with the researcher to make the necessary changes to their classrooms and school to better meet the needs of low-income students. …

Executions In America: How Constitutional Interpretation Has Restricted Capital Punishment, Andrea Paone
Executions In America: How Constitutional Interpretation Has Restricted Capital Punishment, Andrea Paone
Pell Scholars and Senior Theses
In upholding the constitutionality of capital punishment, the United States Supreme Court has utilized a strict construction interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause, which has led the opponents of capital punishment to abandon the Due Process approach and look to the Eighth Amendment, for which the justices utilize a loose construction interpretation.

Interpreting Community Accountability: Citizen Views Of Responding To Domestic Violence (Or Not), Jacob Z. Hess, Nicole E. Allen, Nathan R. Todd
Interpreting Community Accountability: Citizen Views Of Responding To Domestic Violence (Or Not), Jacob Z. Hess, Nicole E. Allen, Nathan R. Todd
The Qualitative Report
In spite of common public condemnations of domestic violence, survey research suggests that citizens aware of actual abuse often believe they cannot or should not personally respond. Through in-depth interviews with 20 local citizens across the political spectrum, we sought to explore this dynamic more carefully by better understanding community interpretations of domestic violence and its appropriate response. This paper explores ten specific views identified in these interviews as potentially relevant to citizen action (or inaction) in response to known abuse. After examining subtle consequences of each belief, we explore broader implications for community mobilization and propose several ways of …
Teen Pregnancy And Parenting: Attitudes And Behaviors Of Teenaged Long-Term Hispanics In Northern New Mexico, Mary Ann Osuchowski-Sanchez
Teen Pregnancy And Parenting: Attitudes And Behaviors Of Teenaged Long-Term Hispanics In Northern New Mexico, Mary Ann Osuchowski-Sanchez
Nursing ETDs
Teen pregnancy in Hispanic youth is a poorly understood phenomenon, thought to have numerous and overlapping sociocultural influences. Although Hispanics have had the highest teen pregnancy rates in the United States since 1995 and pregnancy rates that have declined much more slowly when compared to every other ethnic group, there is limited literature about Hispanic youth whose families are long-term residents of the United States and the factors that influence the decision-making processes and sexual behaviors of this population. The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the attitudes and behaviors related to teen pregnancy and parenting in …
Male Offenders' Work Experiences Pre-Prison, In-Prison, And Upon Reentry: Interactions Between Work And Crime, Kerry L. Edwards
Male Offenders' Work Experiences Pre-Prison, In-Prison, And Upon Reentry: Interactions Between Work And Crime, Kerry L. Edwards
Sociology ETDs
This qualitative study explored offenders work experiences outside of prison and in-prison, and then compared these experiences to their post-release work experiences and outcomes. The subjects' criminal histories varied, but during the study's initial interview all were incarcerated at lower security level facilities in a western state. Several different types of in-prison employment were compared; these differences included the type of task, the skill level, the work-site, and the beneficiary of the labor. Outcomes were classified according to work measures, and whether the subjects had been reincarcerated within six months of their release. The pre-prison findings suggested that the skill …

Jury Trials For Violent Hate Crimes In Russia: Is Russian Justice Only For Ethnic Russians?, Nikolai P. Kovalev
Jury Trials For Violent Hate Crimes In Russia: Is Russian Justice Only For Ethnic Russians?, Nikolai P. Kovalev
Criminology
The article examines issues of potential anti-victim jury bias in hate crime trials of skinheads in Russia. The study is based on the analysis of court transcripts and interviews with judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and victims’ lawyers who participated in four high profile criminal cases. The cases selected for analysis resulted in scandalous acquittals, which raised many questions within the Russian society as to whether lay citizens can and should adjudicate hate crimes committed against members of ethnic and racial minority groups. The results of the study have revealed that the juries in these cases did not demonstrate any bias …
Revising Harmless Error: Making Innocence Relevant To Direct Appeals, Helen A. Anderson
Revising Harmless Error: Making Innocence Relevant To Direct Appeals, Helen A. Anderson
Texas Wesleyan Law Review
The first part of this essay examines the development of harmless error law and its application to cases involving evidence of the type implicated in wrongful convictions. The second part will look at how harmless error analysis can be reinvigorated to take into account the Innocence Project findings. This will require more than tinkering with the standards; it may mean relying less on judicial speculation about the effect of an error. Some inquiries might require remand hearings where additional evidence can be admitted to determine the importance of an error to the verdict or the strength of the remaining untainted …
Nurturing Forensic Science: How Appropriate Funding And Government Oversight Can Further Strengthen The Forensic Science Community, Craig M. Cooley
Nurturing Forensic Science: How Appropriate Funding And Government Oversight Can Further Strengthen The Forensic Science Community, Craig M. Cooley
Texas Wesleyan Law Review
This Article's objective will be to discuss why adequate funding and strict government oversight are necessary to strengthening the forensic science community's scientific foundation and improve its accuracy and efficiency. If lawmakers refuse to properly fund and oversee the forensic science community, the criminal justice system's truth-seeking mission will continue to be compromised. This not only harms innocent people, who are falsely implicated by unvalidated forensic evidence or improper forensic testimony, it inflicts another wound to the victims and their families.

Differences In Community Policing Definitions Of County And City La W Enforcement Agencies In Colorado, Jenna J. Slabaugh
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
While community policing has been around for decades and is widely adopted in law enforcement agencies throughout the US, there is no one accepted definition of this philosophy. This has led to departments around the country defining community policing differently. This comparative study utilized content analysis to compare the community policing definitions in county and city agencies located in Colorado. Further, a comparative analysis determined whether the type of agency influences how a department defines community policing. Survey research was be used to collect data for this study and a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods were employed.
Animal Assisted Therapy: The Perception Of Animal Assisted Therapy Clinicians Regarding Active Participation In Treatment Therapies Of Juveniles In Detention Center Settings, Julia M. Lowe
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)

Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) has become a popular form of treatment in detention facilities. Qualitative data collection was administered using a focus group of three participants to examine clinicians' perceptions of juvenile participation during AAT. Clinicians perceived increased participation of juveniles participation in AAT. Clinicians also witnessed changes in juvenile behaviors within the detention facility, indicating juveniles participating in AAT were more …

Exoneration And The Road To Compensation: The Tim Cole Act And Comprehensive Compensation For Persons Wrongfully Imprisoned, John Shaw
Texas Wesleyan Law Review
In recent years, the number of exonerations of persons wrongfully imprisoned has increased nationwide. With the number of exonerations continually on the rise, 27 states and the District of Columbia, have addressed the needs of exonerees with legislation that provides for the compensation of these individuals. A majority of these states offer basic monetary compensation. Basic monetary compensation, however, is not enough. The criminal justice system has failed these individuals in one way or another, and after years in prison, many are in need of more than money upon release. Texas has been leading the country in exonerating wrongfully convicted …

Vol. 2 No. 2, Summer 2011; Particularly Serious Crimes And Withholding Of Removal: An Aggravating Question, Jessica Fiocchi
Northern Illinois Law Review Supplement
The highly controversial topic of the removal of non-citizens from the United States is even more complex than most people realize. Besides the widely-known issues of the stretch on our nation's resources and immigrants' search for better lives, there are also issues of international relationships and threats to basic human rights. The United States has an international commitment not to remove aliens back to their home country if that country would be likely to subject the person to threats to their life or freedom, including kidnapping, torture, or murder. The U.S. denies this withholding of removal to those who have …
