An Examination Of Non-White Crime Portrayals In Local Broadcast News, Jeniece Nicole Jamison

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

The purpose of this study is to examine trends in the coverage of crime stories in local broadcast television news. The data set is derived from WNCN’s evening news broadcasts from January through February 2018. The station’s broadcast was examined for the amount of crime stories that were aired in the newscast, types of crimes were committed, how they were described by the anchor, law enforcement and members of the community, and who committed them (the race of the criminal actors). Findings showed that while whites may have been underrepresented as criminal actors, non-whites’ representation in crime stories were on …

Educating For Democracy In Undemocratic Contexts: Avoiding The Zero-Sum Game Of Campus Free Speech Versus Inclusion, Nancy Thomas

eJournal of Public Affairs

The debate over free speech and inclusion in higher education is not new, but it has reached new levels of vitriol and confusion as legislators and others beyond the academy argue for unfettered speech. Mandating speech rights on campuses undercuts decades of learning around diversity, inclusion, and equity in higher education and in public life by mainstreaming undemocratic forces in some factions in U.S. society that thrive on creating divisiveness and fear of “the other.” Those with an absolutist perspective take a zero-sum game approach by pitting the important American principles of equality and community against the equally important principles …

Weight Self-Stigma And Drug Use Among Young Adults: Examining Sexual Orientation As A Moderator, Andrew Joseph Paladino

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Sexual minority young adults and individuals with weight self-stigma (WSS) are more likely to experience psychopathology and cope via drug use. Despite a sizeable body of research examining the relationship between WSS and psychological outcomes, researchers have not explored whether sexual orientation contributes to the relationship between weight self-stigma and drug use. Recruiting from Amazon Mechanical Turk and a Midsouth university sample, we surveyed 568 young adults about depressive symptoms, WSS, substance use, and sexual orientation. Sexual orientation was examined as a moderator between self-stigma and drug use. The interaction between sexual orientation and WSS was significant (p < .05), such that for sexual minorities there was a significant positive association of WSS on drug use, while for heterosexual youth the association was not significant. Findings suggest that the compounded stigma associated with being a sexual minority and experiencing internalized weight stigma is related to drug use problems.

Fostering A Civically Engaged Society: The University And Service Learning, Maria J. D'Agostino

Publications and Research

As public administration is faced with the challenge of making governance work, the university is being called upon to become more involved in the civic engagement movement. Increasing civic engagement requires addressing one of the core problems contributing to its decline: deteriorating community caused by a lack of social capital. Although there is debate about whether there has been a decline in civic engagement or simply a change in the ways citizens participate, there is agreement about the need to increase engagement and to include universities in this process. One of the proposed solutions, advocated by Barber and Battistoni (1993) …

White Women, U.S. Popular Culture, And Narratives Of Addiction, Jessie Daniels

Publications and Research

The United States war on drugs has, for decades now, systematically targeted communities of color. This sustained attack on people of color is accomplished through the use of whiteness. Recently, mainstream news media and elected officials have called for a “gentler war on drugs” to address the opioid epidemic. While some may see this as a welcome change, we take a more critical view. Specifically, we examine the role of White women in two popular television series that feature narratives of addiction as a gendered instance of “white drug exceptionalism.” To do this, we conducted a systematic analysis of a …

Sweep It Under The Rug: The Stronghold Of Surname In The Response To Sexual Assault In Frontierland, April Terry

SACAD: Scholarly Activities

Previous studies have found that neighborhoods with high crime and poverty, combined with low collective efficacy, create an environment that encourages cultural norms around gender-based violence. Categorized as coercive sexual environments (CSEs), such conditions are especially harmful to girls and young women. To date, all studies on CSEs have focused on urban communities. The current study sought out the presence of CS Es within rural locations. After conducting interviews with incarcerated girls and women, as well as community partners (e.g., probation officers, treatment providers, and judges), preliminary findings suggest that the same model is not sufficient when addressing gender-based crimes …

Restorative Practices As Tools For Reducing The Outcome Data Gaps In The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District, Anne Kettle

Counseling

Childhood adversity, toxic stress and trauma have physical and mental health impacts on individuals and affect academic and career success. The result of which may present as challenging or off-task behavior in the classroom. Trauma-informed techniques are being implemented to address these challenges in schools and classrooms across the United States. Restorative practices are proving to serve as successful tools for mitigating the impact of adversity on students and build a more cohesive and successful school atmosphere. There is potential for restorative practices to be used by school counselors as part of a comprehensive school counseling program to work to …

Tolerance Among College Students: Attitudes Towards Juveniles With Mental Illness, Ashley Lockwood, Brooke Mann, April Terry

SACAD: Scholarly Activities

In the United States alone, 1 in 5 adults experience a mental illness during any given year (NAMI, 2015). Despite this, research shows that mental health stigma continues to be widely endorsed (Corrigan & Watson, 2002). Unfortunately, mental health stigma has the potential to negatively impact individual’s experiencing it. For example, research indicates that stigma may result in low self-esteem (Link, Struening, Neese-Todd, Asmussen, & Phelan, 2001), reluctance to seek help (Corrigan, Druss, & Perlick, 2014), and failure to adhere to treatment and medications (Sirey et al, 2001). However, much of the previous literature examining stigma and its impact focuses …

Alaska Pretrial Project Proposal: Organizational Structure Change To Incorporate A Mental Health Focus, Anna Gabriel

Justice

The Pretrial Enforcement Division (PED) for the Alaska Department of Corrections (DOC) came into operation on January 1, 2018. PED emerged out of senate bill ninety-one (91) in hopes to reduce incarceration population, and the overall costs of corrections to the state. In response to the new division, a closer look at how this may or may not affect the prison population with behavioral health needs is analyzed. DOC is the number one mental health provider in the state, and often individuals with behavioral health needs are incarcerated longer than those without. With the proposal of assessing all defendants prior …

Solitary confinement can be summarized as the state of being alone in a prison cell for 22 to 24 hours a day with minimal human interaction, little to no natural light, property restrictions, visitation constraints, and the inability to participate in group activities and communal meals.

Solitary confinement is utilized for many purposes, primarily for the health and safety of themselves and others. It was …
