Publications and Research

In an attempt to assist local jurisdictions with violence prevention, the U.S. Department of Justice and other federal agencies launched the National Forum on Youth Violence Prevention in 2010. More than a dozen cities participated in the National Forum, collaborating to increase the effectiveness of their local strategies for reducing youth violence. The Department of Justice asked John Jay College of Criminal Justice to monitor and assess the outcomes of the National Forum beginning in 2011. The study investigated the accomplishments and perceptions of the leadership networks in each city.

Real-Time Damage Detection For Civil Structures Using Big Data, Chenhao Jin

Doctoral Dissertations

The overall goal of the research in this dissertation is to develop efficient and accurate algorithms to detect damages in real time for civil structures using large scale of monitoring data. First, big data analysis is performed using one-year monitoring weigh-in-motion data collected from an in-service highway bridge located in Meriden, Connecticut. In order to quickly evaluate the structural condition from large scale of weight-in-motion data, two structural reliability-based methods were developed based on yield strength limit state and fatigue limit state. Then, in order to estimate structural parameter from structural dynamic response data, extended Kalman filter is used to …

The Courage To Lead: The Leadership Legacies Of American Presidents John Fitzgerald Kennedy And Theodore Roosevelt, Emilio F. Iodice

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

Prolific writer Iodice chronicles the legacies of former American presidents John F. Kennedy and Theodore Roosevelt whose accomplishments, both domestic and international, shaped constituencies then and now. From the Panama Canal ― which opened up trade routes for global commerce — to the preservation of lands for environmental purposes and public enjoyment, to the enactment of civil rights legislation that would collectively create a template for future world leaders, Iodice emphasizes that these specific political icons blazed indelible trails.

The Role Of Colonialism And Neo-Colonialism In Shaping Anti-Terrorism Law In Comparative And International Perspectives: Case Studies Of Egypt And Tunisia, Fatemah Alzubairi

PhD Dissertations

Contemporary anti-terrorism legislation has raised concerns about the global evolution of law and crime control. National and global anti-terrorism frameworks include broad definitions of terrorist crimes and exceptional measures, which risk violating the rule of law and criminal justice. While these frameworks have been broadened since 9/11, the experience of the Arab world shows that wide sweeping anti-terrorism frameworks existed well before this time. This dissertation investigates the origin of current anti-terrorism laws and measures, arguing that colonialism and neo-colonialism contributed to the shaping of counter-terrorism law and policy in two case studies: Egypt and Tunisia. The investigation considers the …

Mayhew V. Hickox: Balancing Maine's Public's Health With Personal Liberties During The Ebola "Crisis", Benjamin W. Dexter

Maine Law Review

By the 1960s, methods in the detection and treatment (and consequently improvements in the survival rates) of infectious diseases had advanced so significantly that "[d]iseases seemed destined to all but disappear." But the reemergence of previously "eradicated" diseases, and the emergence of new diseases that seemed all-but-untreatable, such as Ebola virus, soon put to rest the euphoria of medical advancement. Ebola virus is one of the most dangerous infectious diseases to emerge in the twentieth century, and through media sources, including movies, television shows, and new reporting, has become one of the most feared. Despite public misunderstanding regarding the causes, …

Factors Associated With Crash Severities In Built-Up Areas Along Rural Highways Of Nevada: A Case Study Of 11 Towns, P P. Shrestha, K J. Shrestha

Civil and Environmental Engineering and Construction Faculty Research

In 2014, 32,675 deaths were recorded in vehicle crashes within the United States. Out of these, 51% of the fatalities occurred in rural highways compared to 49% in urban highways. No specific crash data are available for the built-up areas along rural highways. Due to high fatalities in rural highways, it is important to identify the factors that cause the vehicle crashes. The main objective of this study is to determine the factors associated with severities of crashes that occurred in built-up areas along the rural highways of Nevada. Those factors could aid in making informed decisions while setting up …

The Status Of Women In Utah Politics: A 2017 Update, Susan R. Madsen, D. Candice Pierucci

Marketing and Strategy Faculty Publications

In 2014, the Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP) released four research and policy briefs on the status of women in Utah politics, education, nonprofits, and business. These were initially prompted by the Center for American Progress report titled “The State of Women in America: A 50-State Analysis of How Women Are Faring Across the Nation” that ranked Utah last in terms of women being in positions of decision making and leadership. Soon after, a series of other national reports also gave Utah poor rankings, and most used the following four criteria: 1) gender wage gap, 2) educational attainment, 3) …

Out In "The Numbers": Youth And Gang Violence Initiatives And Uneven Development In Portland's Periphery, Dirk Kinsey

Dissertations and Theses

Incidence of youth and gang violence in the Portland, Oregon metro area has increased dramatically over the past five years. This violence has recently become more spatially diffuse, shifting outwards from gentrified, inner city neighborhoods, towards the city's periphery. These incidents exist within the context of a shifting regional political economy, characterized by a process of gentrification associated displacement and growing, and distinctly racialized and spatialized, inequalities. While gang researchers have long argued a corollary between the emergence of gangs and economically and culturally polarized urban landscapes, the ongoing suburbanization of poverty in American cities suggests a new landscape of …

War On Drugs: A Prophetic Mission Of Resisting Evil, Albert E. Alejo, Manuel V. Francisco, Jojo M. Fung

Landas

This article critically examines the moral, theological, and human rights crises emerging from the violent "War on Drugs" campaign. Writing from a contextual Philippine perspective, the authors challenge state-sanctioned violence and extrajudicial killings by framing opposition as an imperative Christian duty. Grounded in Catholic social teaching and liberation theology, the paper argues that the Church must reclaim its prophetic mission to voice the plight of the marginalized and actively resist systemic evil. Ultimately, it calls for a pastoral approach rooted in restorative justice, human dignity, and communal healing rather than punitive bloodshed.
