Troubled Grounds: Florida’S Stand Your Ground Law And The Threat Of Covert Racism Against Blacks In The United States, Alexander Nicoleau
Troubled Grounds: Florida’S Stand Your Ground Law And The Threat Of Covert Racism Against Blacks In The United States, Alexander Nicoleau
Theses & ETDs
The United States has always had to grapple with its deep-seeded history of racial discrimination against Blacks since the start of the Antebellum era. While the U.S has progressively become more inclusive of Blacks thanks to periods of great reform like Reconstruction, and the Civil Rights Movement, laws that discriminate on the basis of race have transitioned from overt to covert. The Florida Stand Your Ground law has come under fire for being covertly racist against Blacks. The objective of this thesis is it to analyze the history of covert and overt racism in the U.S. and reveal whether or …
Lost In Translation: Effects Of Language On Native Spanish Speakers’ Understanding Of The Miranda Rights Comprehension Instruments And A Spanish Translation Of The Miranda Rights Comprehension Instruments, Jonah Santiago Pagán
Theses & ETDs
The Latino population faces numerous disparities in the United States criminal justice system as outlined in the first chapter of this thesis. One challenge of special detriment to the Spanish-speaking Latino/a is that of language barriers. Previous research has found numerous associations between Miranda rights comprehension and language barriers, among other factors. The current study explored the effects of language on a prototypical participant sample of native Spanish-speaking Latino/as experiencing different levels of the language barrier disparity in the U.S. judicial and carceral systems. Six participants were administered the Miranda Rights Comprehension Instruments (MRCI), a widely used and well regarded …

Training Law Enforcement In Mental Health: A Broad-Based Model, Rachael Elaine Hatfield
Training Law Enforcement In Mental Health: A Broad-Based Model, Rachael Elaine Hatfield
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
Police officers respond to many calls involving people suffering from a mental illness; yet many law enforcement training programs and workshops do not include mental health training. A literature review was conducted to explore the problems resulting from the lack of mental health training available for law enforcement officers and identify specialized training programs currently being implemented to address those problems. The review identified several program models being implemented throughout the United States including: Joint Police/Mental Health Team Model, Mobile Crisis Unit Model, Crisis Intervention Team Model, and the Broad-Based Training Model. These models include empirically supported components used to …
Teaching Against Hierarchies: An Anarchist Approach, Stephanie Spoto
Teaching Against Hierarchies: An Anarchist Approach, Stephanie Spoto
Journal of Feminist Scholarship
The state of California spends more on prisons than on colleges and universities, and the fact that these two budgetary figures are often compared shows the relationship between the two state institutions. Our classrooms, starting from a very early stage, not only prepare children to be productive members of the consumer economy but educate them for complacency in the face of state violence and mass incarceration. In attempting to move away from hierarchical models of education, this article looks at the feminist pedagogical theory of bell hooks and antiauthoritarian and anarchist theorists such as Jacques Rancière and Derrick Jensen in …

The K- 12 Experiences Of African American Criminal Offenders, Ashley P. Booker
Theses and Graduate Projects
This qualitative study explores some of the most persistent and significant racial gaps in our society today, focusing on the intersections of race, academic achievement, and criminal incarceration via an analysis of the K- 12 experiences of African American criminal offenders. The purpose of this research is to gain additional knowledge and insight about the racial disparities that persist in academic achievement and punitive methods of social control, hopefully contributing to the ongoing discussion of the ways in which to improve teacher practices and develop strategies for effectively engaging African American males in the classroom. There were three participants in …
An Implementation Plan For Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment, Mary Jean Dunn
An Implementation Plan For Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment, Mary Jean Dunn
Theses and Graduate Projects
Recovery from substance abuse or mental illness can be a long and difficult process. lndividuals attempting to recover from both issues face an even more complex road to healing. Research shows that treatment models, which address both illnesses simultaneously, in the same setting, have the best success. Treatment models that address both issues at once are called Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment (IDDT). There are a number of IDDT models around the country and Minnesota has recently finalized its framework for IDDT certification. This paper examines the most corlmonly used components of IDDT models and will study the process of implementation …
Violence Prevention In Schools: Safety & Security Measures, Timber L. Day
Violence Prevention In Schools: Safety & Security Measures, Timber L. Day
Theses and Graduate Projects
Media broadcasts of rampage school shootings can raise anxiety for parents, school officials and students. Violence prevention in schools is a national priority. It's time to take a closer look at what can be done to make schools safer. The results indicate that heightening school security and implementing zero tolerance policies are not the solution to the problem. Parent psycho-education, cognitive therapy, relaxation, self- monitoring and social skills training are more effective.
Trauma Informed Nursing Care For Women Who Are Marginalized: An Educational Workshop, Jenna Fadlalla
Trauma Informed Nursing Care For Women Who Are Marginalized: An Educational Workshop, Jenna Fadlalla
Theses and Graduate Projects
Traumatic events profoundly affect both the physical and emotional health of a woman who endures the event. Gender, socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic disparities in rates of trauma exist showing that women who are marginalized are at a higher risk for trauma. Nurses are privileged to provide care for these women in their greatest times of need, yet despite the intimate relationship between nurses and their patients, trauma is a topic that remains largely unaddressed by the field of nursing. Because trauma can have such a profound effect on health, it is essential for nurses of all specialties and at all …
Treaty Termination And Historical Gloss, Curtis A. Bradley
Treaty Termination And Historical Gloss, Curtis A. Bradley
Articles
The termination of U.S. treaties provides an especially rich example of how governmental practices can provide a “gloss” on the Constitution’s separation of powers. The authority to terminate treaties is not addressed specifically in the constitutional text and instead has been worked out over time through political-branch practice. This practice, moreover, has developed largely without judicial review. Despite these features, Congress and the President—and the lawyers who advise them—have generally treated this issue as a matter of constitutional law rather than merely political happenstance. Importantly, the example of treaty termination illustrates not only how historical practice can inform constitutional understandings …

The Library For The Incarcerated Male Juveniles: An Observation Of Five Correctional Schools, Rafedzi E.R.K., Abrizah Abdullah
Archival Material (2010s)
This qualitative study extends our earlier research on what we have learned so far about the information needs of Malaysian male juvenile offenders. This focus is important to consider when designing and delivering the best possible library services to this group. The study explores the extent the prison library is used as the environment for information seeking of male juvenile delinquents. Data were collected using participants observation with 27 juveniles {13 to 21 years old) living in five correctional schools in Malaysia. Our observation at all research sites has led us to conclude that the prison library does not play …

Juror Internet Misconduct: A Survey Of New Hampshire Superior Court Judges, Brooke Lovett Shilo
Juror Internet Misconduct: A Survey Of New Hampshire Superior Court Judges, Brooke Lovett Shilo
The University of New Hampshire Law Review
[Excerpt] “The Constitution guarantees criminal defendants the right to a fair trial before an impartial jury and the right to confront the evidence against them. When a juror improperly accesses the Internet during a criminal trial, the defendant is denied these constitutional rights. The problem of outside information entering the courtroom is as old as our judicial system. As early as 1907, Justice Holmes observed that, “The theory of our [criminal justice] system is that the conclusions to be reached in a case will be induced only by evidence and argument in open court, and not by any outside influence, …

Charm City Televised & Dehumanized: How Cctv Bail Reviews Violate Due Process, Edie Fortuna Cimino, Zina Makar, Natalie Novak
University of Baltimore Law Forum
On May 28, 2013, Torrey Johnson5 struggles to raise both his hands, handcuffed and seated shoulder-to-shoulder between two other defendants in the first row of the closed circuit television (“CCTV” or “videoconference”) bail review hearing room within the Baltimore Central Booking and Intake Center (“Centeral Booking”). There are two more rows of defendants behind Mr. Johnson, all in yellow jumpsuits, being watched by correctional officers. Separated by a three-foot wall, Mr. Johnson’s public defender sits out of sight from the video camera’s field of view, about ten feet away from her client. The judge quickly reads through Mr. Johnson’s rights. …
Recent Development: Nash V. State: Jury Note Expressing Concern About Motives Behind A Juroror Ury Note Expressing Concern About Motives Behind A Jurororsumption Of Prejudice Requiring Voir Dire Sua Sponte, Nadya Cheatham
University of Baltimore Law Forum
The Court of Appeals of Maryland held that a note from a jury, containing allegations that a juror would change her original voting position if it meant she could go home earlier, did not raise a presumption of prejudice and therefore did not require the trial judge to conduct voir dire sua sponte. Nash v. State, 439 Md. 53, 94 A.3d 23 (2014). Additionally, the court held that the trial judge did not abuse her discretion when she chose to release the jurors and remind them of their duties under oath, rather than directly assuring the impartiality of the jurors. …

Electronic Control Devices & Injury Impact: An Analysis Of Secondary Data From The Arlington Police Department, Brook Rollins
Criminology & Criminal Justice Theses - Archive
For law enforcement officers, the necessity to utilize force against a citizen is a powerful aspect of the job. Recent technological advances in force options contribute to the delicate balance of a police officer and using force against a citizen. The Electronic Control Device (ECD) is one such tool of technological advancement. With the introduction of the ECD a fierce argument has emerged challenging the efficacy and safety of the devices. The Arlington Police Department deploys ECD's to its officers as a part of the daily issued equipment. The purpose of this research project is to analyze the usage of …

Disparity In Judicial Misconduct Cases: Color-Blind Diversity?, Athena D. Mutua
Journal Articles
This article presents and analyzes preliminary data on racial and gender disparities in state judicial disciplinary actions. Studies of demographic disparities in the context of judicial discipline do not exist. This paper presents a first past and preliminary look at the data collected on the issue and assembled into a database. The article is also motivated by the resistance encountered to inquiries into the demographic profile of the state bench and its judges. As such, it also tells the story of the journey undertaken to secure this information and critiques what the author terms a practice of colorblind diversity. Initially …
