Orgasm Is Impossible Without Go Rams: The Need For Comprehensive, Inclusive, Accessible, & Trauma-Informed Sexual Health Education Among College Students, Jai-La M. Aponte

West Chester University Master’s Theses

This thesis will be exploring the crucial need for comprehensive, inclusive, and trauma-informed sexual health education at the collegiate level for undergraduate and graduate students. Using a critical action approach, I propose the implementation of a designated sexual health education student service office to provide sexual health education programs, initiatives, support, and education for their students, titled the Sexual Education Xploration Center (SEX-C). This intervention is meant to provide student support throughout the academic year in the similar way more traditional student offices offer resources, education, connection, and training to students on an array of subjects. Using Kimberle Crenshaw’s theory …

Automating Fda Regulation, Mason Marks

Scholarly Publications

In the twentieth century, the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") rose to prominence as a respected scientific agency. By the middle of the century, it transformed the US. medical marketplace from an unregulated haven for dangerous products and false claims to a respected exemplar of public health. More recently, the FDA's objectivity has increasingly been questioned. Critics argue the agency has become overly political and too accommodating to industry while lowering its standards for safety and efficacy. The FDA's accelerated pathways for product testing and approval are partly to blame. They require lower-quality evidence, such as surrogate endpoints, and shift …

A Formative Evaluation Of Washington Prison Animal Programs, Kim Satterfield

Master of Arts in Criminal Justice Theses

With the ever-growing prison population in the United States, it is imperative to continue to examine programs that may foster reductions in recidivism rates. In the minimal observatory studies that have been conducted on animal programs in prison, it has been concluded that these programs have a positive effect on the inmates, prison environment, the animals, and the community. Implementations of these programs are in place nationwide, but thorough research and evaluation of methods and outcomes of these programs remain scarce. The purpose of this thesis is to gather data through interviews about the personal and community impacts of such …

First Among Equals: How The Curtilage Doctrine Bars A Terry Stop And Frisk Inside The Curtilage After Jardines And Collins, J. Ross Hamrick

University of Memphis Law Review

History and tradition confirm that the curtilage’s heightened pro-tections are a Fourth Amendment fixture. In Collins v. Virginia, the Supreme Court reaffirmed that understanding and relieved the tension between two strands of Fourth Amendment caselaw: the curtilage doc-trine and the automobile exception. The Court decided the automobile exception did not authorize warrantless entry into a person’s curtilage because extending the rule would detach the rationale from its original justifications. The curtilage, like a home, garners the highest Fourth Amendment protection. So when an officer trespasses onto the curti-lage, the privacy intrusion is far greater than the intrusion arising from a …

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act Of 1991: Adapting An “Odd” Law, Blasing, Marissa J.

Santa Clara Law Review

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) was introduced in 1991 before the rise of the cell phone, text messages, and broadband internet. It placed restrictions on then-contemporary technology used to reach consumers in an automated way and its primary purpose was to protect consumer’s privacy interests and public safety. Yet, it has proven to be an odd and increasingly outdated law. The federal government has made a good-faith effort to maintain the TCPA’s relevancy. However, evolving technology and inconsistent interpretations of the law’s fundamental elements have resulted in harm to consumers and businesses. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the law also …

A Qualitative Analysis Of Hospital Nurses' Experiences During The Covid-19 Pandemic Through The Lens Of The Demand-Control-Support Model, Alisha Garner

Honors Undergraduate Theses

Positive social support, realistic job demand, and appropriate levels of control over their responsibilities can mitigate empathy fatigue and burnout among nurses, increase quality care for patients, and lay the foundation for teams to embrace challenges during crises. The COVID-19 pandemic stretched nurses in all these areas, leading many nurses to contemplate changing fields. Failure to address and embrace the difficulties that nurses face during such crises can result in loss of nurses and impact the entire healthcare industry.

The present study used one-to-one interviews to glean insider perspectives of changes in job demand, control, and support nurses experienced as …

The Assessment Of Emergency Preparedness Among University Students, Arliah Cox

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

University students have been an understudied population when it comes to the topic of emergency/ disaster preparedness. While there have been a few studies carried out to examine students’ perceptions of preparedness, the level of preparedness must be determined to be able to close the gap when it comes to barriers preventing them from being prepared. One hundred and eighty-seven undergraduate participants at a Midwestern university completed both online and in-person surveys in March 2022. The survey included questions regarding emergency/ disaster preparedness, perception of being prepared, and barriers which can prevent preparedness. Results showed that a lack of time …

Financial Sustainability Of Florida Cities: Comparative, Retrospective Modeling For Prospective Municipal Financial Health, Terry Henley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023

The Great Recession produced rising debt, deficits, and exposed vulnerabilities for municipalities in a globalist economy. The two-month COVID recession in 2020 accelerated these burdens; a lagging downturn recently added pressures of reduced economic activity, record inflation, and rising costs in 2022. This dissertation studies how local financial sustainability (FS) and financial condition (FC) approaches can work in concert towards a set of indicators with internal and external categorization to explain municipal financial health (MFH). Unassigned fund balance plus select formal stabilizations measure MFH, are conceptually supported in having retrospective (FC) and prospective (FS) value as an intergenerational resource and …

The Educational Trajectories Of Latinx Undocumented Students: Illegality And Threats To Emotional Well-Being, Alessandra Bazo Vienrich, Rosalie A. Torres Stone

Sociology

For undocumented students, the high school–to–college pipeline is filled with social, economic, and psychological stressors. Yet very little is known about the impact of legal status on the experiences of undocumented Latinx college students living in states without tuition equity policies. Using qualitative data from 37 interviews exploring undocumented college students’ educational trajectories in Massachusetts and North Carolina, the authors examine the impact of legal status on the emotional well-being of undocumented Latinx students, including those who benefited from Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. The findings show that even when undocumented students gain access to higher education, barriers to legal …

A Bonded Case Study Of Missouri Secondary Criminal Justice Program Curricula, James Barnes, James Oren Barnes

Murray State Theses and Dissertations

This exploratory case study measured the Missouri Secondary Criminal Justice Program instructors' perception on the impact of Missouri technical standards, the Industry Recognized Credential/Technical Skills Assessment (IRC/TSA), Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs), individual cumulative career experience, and advisory boards on their curricula. As a local autonomy state, Missouri has no statutorily mandated curricula to guide instructors. Six secondary criminal justice instructors agreed to be interviewed on their perspectives regarding the factors that impact curricula. The research found that instructor experience had the most substantial impact on curricula. The instructors used the technical standards as a scope and sequence for …

The Democratic (Il)Legitimacy Of Assembly-Line Litigation, Jessica Steinberg, Colleen Shanahan, Anna Carpenter, Alyx Mark

Faculty Articles

In response to Daniel Wilf-Townsend’s Assembly-Line Plaintiffs we take a panoramic picture of state civil courts, and debt cases in particular, and name specific features of the courts that must be taken into account in crafting reform prescriptions. In doing so, we question both the democratic legitimacy of debt collection courts and the adequacy of incremental reform that targets the structure of litigation. Part I contributes two critical components to Wilf-Townsend’s rich description of consumer debt cases: pervasive intersectional inequality among pro se defendants and a record of fraud among top filers. We add a sharper focus on the racial, …

Out Of This World: 3d Printing And Space Law Regulation, Caitlyn Fischer

Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology

3D printing will be a valuable asset in the exploration and human expansion into space. This comment examines the current international treaties and U.S. domestic laws that may affect and impose requirements on 3D printing manufacturers seeking to print in space. These treaties are self-executing and therefore leave it up to Congress to take action to keep the U.S. in compliance with international space law. Congress can do this by granting agencies like the FCC and FAA authority to regulate. In order to utilize 3D printing technology in space and reap the benefits it has to offer, the U.S. should …

Family Separation Conditions, Alexis Karteron

Faculty Articles

America’s mass incarceration crisis does not end at the prison gates. While an estimated two million people are presently incarcerated, nearly twice that number of people are subject to probation, parole, and other forms of community supervision. This Article documents one particularly troubling aspect of this system of “nonincarceration mass incarceration”: the widespread use of supervision conditions that separate people on parole, probation, and supervised release from their families. Courts regularly approve supervision conditions that categorically bar supervisees from contacting or interacting with their family members. Although these conditions are sometimes justified, they are used indiscriminately without individualized analysis of …

Meeting Water Affordability Challenges In The Era Of The Unexpected, Amy Hardberger

Saint Louis University Journal of Health Law & Policy

The vast majority of Americans depend on a public water supply for the procurement and delivery of their water. Water providers are tasked with securing water supplies for the future, building and maintaining the infrastructure needed for delivery, and ensuring service is available for new customers. This system has worked for many decades in part because the costs of water and construction were relatively low; however, in the past twenty years, water rates have increased at twice the rate of inflation. At the same time, income has remained stagnant. Water services now require a larger percentage of household budgets than …

Blue Shifter: A Reverse Quit Model For Law Enforcement Leaders, Samuel Ponce

Doctor of Strategic Leadership (DSL) Capstone Abstracts

Many organizations are currently experiencing the impact of employees quitting their jobs, this reality has left organizations, including police departments, wondering how to slow down the effects of turnover. Employee turnover is witnessed when employees decide to leave their position at the organization and end their work relationship. Turnover can have a detrimental impact on an organization’s finances, employee performance, worker productivity, and customer service. Additionally, turnover is critical to communities since decreased police forces are related to increases in crime. Furthermore, police resignations are higher than ever and are predicted to continue increasing, however, it is not pernicious to …
