"It Takes Time To Shift Historical Paradigms": Changes In Structure, Governance, Perception, And Practice During A Decade Of Child Welfare Policy Reform In Florida, Amy Catherine Vargo

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation explored changes in structure, governance, perception and practice within Florida's child welfare system over a ten-year period (2001-2011) inclusive of two concurrent, statewide reform efforts: the privatization of child welfare services and implementation of a Title IV-E Waiver Demonstration. Using an anthropological perspective and holistic approach, the child welfare system is presented as a type of meta-organizational culture inclusive of subsystems and subcultures which are all embedded in historical and socioeconomic context that involves alternations between child safety and family preservation approaches to care.

Guided by a grounded theory approach to qualitative data analysis, content analysis of child …

Clinical And Criminal Justice Outcomes In The Jail Diversion And Trauma Recovery (Jdtr) Program, Daniel Harold Ringhoff

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This mixed methods study evaluated clinical and criminal justice outcomes of the Florida Jail Diversion and Trauma Recovery (JDTR) program that utilized compensated veteran peer mentors. Quantitative results showed veteran participation in JDTR improved clinical outcomes, such as PTSD symptoms, function difficulty and depression scores, but not criminal justice outcomes such as re-arrest rates. Study limitations, however, prevent the drawing of conclusions regarding the potential effectiveness of veteran peer interventions improving criminal justice outcomes. Qualitative results showed participants overwhelmingly viewed their assigned veteran peer mentor as a "peer" and rated them as "very important" to their future success. Improvements in …

Three Coming Challenges To Indonesia's Death Penalty Regime, Daniel Pascoe

Indonesian Journal of International and Comparative Law

Indonesia's President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, will step down on 20 October 2014 after two five-year terms in office. Uncertainty surrounds the attitude of his successor, Joko Widodo, towards capital punishment, but outright abolition is considered unlikely for the time being, as Indonesia’s public, government and religious institutions still favour the retention of the death penalty. However, by the date of his departure from office, President Yudhoyono may have around 40 clemency petitions to rule on, should he wish to do so before the end of his presidency. Other than hoping that the outgoing President accedes to these requests for clemency, …

The Development Of A Model Syllabus For Use At The Community College Level In Criminal Justice Programs With Ethics Courses, Douglas Ray Larkins

Student Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to develop a model syllabus template for use in community college criminal justice programs. Additionally, the model syllabus proposes a framework upon which an ethics course in criminal justice could be constructed. Syllabi were collected from criminology instructors who teach criminal justice ethics courses at Higher Learning Commission (HLC) accredited community colleges. Key components of these criminology syllabi were reviewed for common words, phrases, and concepts for incorporation into the model syllabus template. The initial step was the development of a rubric, based on a grounded theory, open coding research tool. The open coding …

Impact Of A State Evidence-Based Practice Legislative Mandate On County Practice Implementation Patterns And Inpatient Behavioral Health Discharge, Carl William Foreman

Dissertations and Theses

Evidence-based practices and comparative effectiveness research are salient topics in public policy. Empirical validation of agency operating processes provides agencies and policy-makers the opportunity to address uncertainty surrounding effectiveness. While this is an increasingly accepted rational approach to public policy, the exact mechanism for how this operates is less known. In order to evaluate several theoretical assumptions and normative rational expectations inherent in this approach, the implementation of a state legislative mandate stating policy expectations for behavioral health evidence-based practices is assessed. This study sought to assess whether implementation patterns and associated outcomes reflect "rational mechanism" policy expectations. While the …

Aiding Transitional Justice In Solomon Islands, Nicole Dicker

Buffalo Human Rights Law Review

Overall in Solomon Islands, foreign aid donors have neither engaged effectively with transitional justice itself nor leveraged transitional justice in support of broader development outcomes. Transitional justice in Solomon Islands responds to the five-year period of violent civil conflict, the Tensions, which devastated the Pacific Island nation of Solomon Islands from 1998 to 2003. The Tensions resulted in the deaths of an estimated 200 people and left some 35,000 people displaced; many suffered abductions, illegal detentions, torture and ill-treatment, sexual violence, and property violations. To remedy past human rights abuses, several transitional justice measures have been implemented in Solomon Islands, …
