International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Session presented on Sunday, July 26, 2015:

Exploring And Understanding The Factors That May Influence The Outlook Of Registered Nurses Regarding Potential Criminal Evidence Identification, Collection And Preservation On Patients Presented To Them, Joseph V. Cordoma

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

Registered nurses are one of the many medical personnel who are located within a healthcare setting. Their presence in a healthcare setting provides them the high probability of encountering a victim or suspect of a crime who arrives for treatment as a result of the actions experienced during the commission of that crime. As a part of the medical personnel team within that healthcare setting treating that victim or suspect, the registered nurse will have the potential opportunity to encounter both physical evidence that may be present on that patient, or verbal evidence that may be disclosed by that patient …

The Role Of The Institution On The Adoption Of Law Enforcement Technology, Cassandra Dodge

Theses and Dissertations

While law enforcement agencies perceive that technology increases their ability to complete their mission in the most efficient manner possible, this may not be the case in reality. Considering the potential expenses, potential danger, and lack of proven efficiency, it is surprising that these technologies are continuing to be adopted. Observing law enforcement agencies through the lens of institutional theory provides an explanation for the discrepancy between what would be expected and what has actually occurred. The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the use of five technologies (records management systems, broadband networking with vehicle computers, long range …

Terrorism Preparedness: A Law Enforcement Perspective, Cayla Comens

Theses and Dissertations

Since September 11, 2001, the environments in which law enforcement agencies operate have been changing. Contingency theory hypothesizes that an organization adapts to their environment through organizational structure and contingencies in order to accomplish a state of fit or higher performance. Utilizing the contingency theory framework, the study looked to answer two research questions: (1) Do municipal and county police agencies believe they have the necessary resources and training to prevent and or respond to the next terrorist attack? (2) How does agency size, structure, funding, and perceived risk influence terrorism preparedness? A sample of 902 county and municipal law …

Reconstructing Rfra: The Contested Legacy Of Religious Freedom Restoration, Martin S. Lederman

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Almost every member of Congress voted to approve the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA), a bill endorsed by an unprecedented coalition of dozens of religious and civil rights organizations spanning the political and ideological spectrum. President Clinton quipped at the signing ceremony that perhaps only divine intervention could explain such an unusual meeting of the minds: the establishment of “new trust” across otherwise irreconcilable “ideological and religious lines,” he remarked, “shows . . . that the power of God is such that, even in the legislative process, miracles can happen.”

The RFRA consensus was especially “miraculous” because the …

The Journal of Public and Professional Sociology

Terrorism takes many forms, and many advances in identifying and tracking terrorists have been made in the past few years.
