The Comprehensive Needs Assessment Of Ipv Victims In Rural Communities, Ziwei Qi

SACAD: Scholarly Activities

A needs assessment for victims of gender-based violence (GBV) is a process of identifying the specific needs and requirements of survivors of GBV. This includes understanding their physical, psychological, social, and economic needs and the services and support systems available/unavailable to them. A statewide survey was conducted to measure the perceptions of various stakeholders regarding the needs of individuals who have experienced violence and abuse. To measure the service needs from stakeholders who are directly and indirectly working with survivors, it will be insightful for researchers to identify the scope and nature of GBV, gaps in existing services, best practices …

A Call For Change: The Social Construction Of Crime, Accountability, And Police Reform., Monique Sims

SACAD: Scholarly Activities

Crime in the media is often shaped by social constructionism, which is a theoretical framework that our perceptions of reality are shaped by the social and cultural contexts in which we live. Claim makers utilize concepts of social constructionism to support a narrative of an issue that is out of control and to ignite action on the part of the citizens and the government to save and restore faith in humanity. This paper deconstructs a crime committed to show the concepts used to make this social construction a reality and help society adapt and want to change the future of …

Media, True Crime, And Public Perceptions, Laurelle Augustine

SACAD: Scholarly Activities

If you have ever found yourself confused on where you stand with a current event in the criminal justice world, you’ve probably fallen victim to media framing. All frames are supported by some portion of the public, and often, people tend to support more than one frame at a time. Many true crime consumers and justice system enthusiasts are able to perceive each case differently when the stories are constructed using different frames. For example, through the Faulty Criminal Justice System Frame, O.J. Simpson can be seen as guilty. This is accomplished by using the narrative that pins the criminal …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Using Foucauldian Discourse Analysis this study seeks to highlight how students reclaim their agency by leaning on the historical knowledge of the Black community and its rich moments of resistance.

Eyewitness Identification Results In Wrongful Convictions, Alivia Graddy, Grant Shostak

2023 Student Academic Showcase

Wrongful convictions due to eyewitness identification emerge when a witness incorrectly identifies an innocent person as the perpetrator of a crime. Amidst being a common convincing form of proof in criminal trials, eyewitness identification can be undependable due to several factors, such as cognitive deficits, bias, and suggestion. Wrongful convictions based on eyewitness identification can have devastating consequences for the innocent person and their family. Furthermore, the actual perpetrator of the crime is free to commit additional crimes. To address this issue, various measures to improve the reliability of eyewitness identification have been proposed, such as using double-blind lineups, informing …

Understanding Involuntary Illegal Online Gamblers In The U.S.: Framing In Misleading Information By Online Casino Reviews, Sinyong Choi

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

Although there are many illegal online gamblers in the United States who use offshore gambling sites while falsely believing that their activity is legitimate, few studies have focused on the role of online casino reviews (OCR) who facilitate this activity. These reviews, for a variety of reasons, may present misleading information designed to encourage U.S. players to use offshore gambling sites. Using framing theory and neutralization techniques, we conducted a content analysis of multiple OCR to examine how they present information and justifications regarding the use of offshore gambling sites in the U.S. The findings indicate that many OCR positively …

Families And Friends Of Homicide Victims’ Experiences With The Healthcare System: A Trauma-Informed Perspective, Jeanna Mastrocinque, R.S. Martino, Wanda Foglia, P. Navratil, J. Metzger, E. A. Cerceo

College of Humanities and Social Sciences Departmental Research

Introduction: Families and friends of homicide victims (FFHV) interact with healthcare systems almost immediately after the traumatic event. Their interactions with healthcare providers can either facilitate healing, have a neutral effect, or compound an already painful experience. When trauma victims are admitted to the hospital, resources are necessarily diverted on their behalf with less consistent attention paid to their families and friends. The interactions surrounding the immediate circumstance as well as experiences in the weeks to months after can have significant long-term impact. This study explores the needs and experiences of FFHV when interacting with the healthcare system to inform …

Some Legal And Practical Challenges In The Investigation Of Cybercrime, Ritz Carr

Cybersecurity Undergraduate Research Showcase

According to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), in 2021, the United States lost around $6.9 billion to cybercrime. In 2022, that number grew to over $10.2 billion (IC3, 2022). In one of many efforts to combat cybercrimes, at least 40 states “introduced or considered more than 250 bills or resolutions that deal significantly with cybersecurity” with 24 states officially enacting a total of 41 bills (National Conference on State Legislatures, 2022).

The world of cybercrime evolves each day. Nevertheless, challenges arise when we investigate and prosecute cybercrime, which will be examined in the following collection of essays that highlight …

Changes In Utilization Of Marijuana During Pregnancy Before And After Legalization In New Mexico, Michael Apostol, Colton Miller, Jacob Torres, Jessie R. Maxwell

2023 Pediatric Research Forum Session

IRB number: 22-022

Category: Original research vs. In-progress research

Contact person: Jessie Maxwell, MD; [email protected]

Background: In 2021, New Mexico legalized marijuana (cannabinoids) for recreational use. Legalization indicates increasing public health significance given the frequency of use during pregnancy, as in-utero cannabinoid exposure has been linked with decreases in birth weight and alterations in neuropsychological development. As more states legalize the recreational use of cannabinoids, it is important to understand the impact this has on use during pregnancy. Thus, we investigated the utilization of cannabinoids in pregnant individuals before and after recreational use legalization, with the hypothesis that the incidence …

France Through The Eyes Of African Migrants In Contemporary France, Destanee Timmons

Undergraduate Research Competition

The impacts of French colonization can be felt worldwide. In the continent of Africa, numerous nations have had their native livelihoods turned on its head during and after the second French colonial empire. During France’s regime over several African nations, France has morphed the traditions of the native’s people and forever left its mark on the continent. Years after their independence, many African nations such as Algeria, Senegal, and Morocco are still affected by the changes implemented during the colonial era. These changes such as suppressing local culture in favor of French ideals resulted in internal turmoil and rampant corruption …
