Black Mothers' Adhd Experiences, Attitudes, And Support-Seeking Decisions, Catherine L. Montgomery
Black Mothers' Adhd Experiences, Attitudes, And Support-Seeking Decisions, Catherine L. Montgomery
Dissertations - ALL
Background: ADHD, particularly when left untreated, is associated with significant impairment in several domains. Black youth may still be under-diagnosed with ADHD, resulting in symptoms going untreated. Black mothers may determine non-professional delivered supports to be more appropriate and acceptable than medication for their children with ADHD. As they tend to be the primary healthcare decision makers, it is important to develop a greater understanding of Black mothers’ ADHD support-seeking decision making for their youth. Method: The present study used semi-structured interviews guided by Kleinman’s Explanatory Models of Illness to discuss Black mothers’ decision making for their youth with ADHD. …
Risks Of Data Science Project Failure: Articulation, Legitimization, And Power Struggles, Sucheta Lahiri
Risks Of Data Science Project Failure: Articulation, Legitimization, And Power Struggles, Sucheta Lahiri
Dissertations - ALL
This research explores the risk of failure in cloud-based data science systems within third-party service contexts. Specifically, it examines how the risk of project failure is socially constructed over time as the technology is incrementally shaped and negotiated. The study is grounded in participant observation conducted with data science practitioners at a professional services organization in India that partners with one of the world’s leading cloud providers. The research foregrounds the business model of professional services firms as a distinct sociotechnical setting for developing cloud-based data science systems, one in which practitioners who are not directly engaged in technical implementation …
Crime Prevention Professionals’ Perspectives On Using Cpted To Mitigate Targeted Violence On K-12 School Campuses, Bridgit C. Didier
Crime Prevention Professionals’ Perspectives On Using Cpted To Mitigate Targeted Violence On K-12 School Campuses, Bridgit C. Didier
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Targeted violence in K-12 schools across the United States is a serious concern. These incidents not only endanger students and staff, but also cause lasting trauma and erode trust in schools. While existing measures may deter some violence, questions remain regarding their overall effectiveness. This study involved exploring perspectives of crime prevention experts on using Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) strategies to mitigate violence in K-12 schools. Although CPTED is recognized as effective in terms of reducing crime, research on its use in schools, especially from the perspective of crime prevention professionals, is limited. This generic qualitative study involved …

Effects Of Fasd On An Individual’S Life Trajectory, Peyton M. Enders
Master of Arts in Human Services
The consumption of alcohol has been in society for thousands of years. However, the discovery of the impacts of alcohol consumption while pregnant is something that is continuously being learned about. Controversy on the effects of alcohol while pregnant and the level of consumption throughout the last century alone has caused individuals to misunderstand the level of danger that it has on a child. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is a multi-layer disorder that causes not only physical deformities but also a change in mental health and cognitive levels of an individual. Throughout any stage of pregnancy a consumption of alcohol …
To Protect And Survive: Acknowledging Adverse Childhood Experiences In Law Enforcement, Melanie Appleman
To Protect And Survive: Acknowledging Adverse Childhood Experiences In Law Enforcement, Melanie Appleman
Master of Arts in Human Services
This literature review explores the influence Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can have on choosing a helping profession as well as their effect on law enforcement personnel and their ability to cope with occupational trauma. Law enforcement officers are routinely exposed to high-stress, high-risk environments which can exacerbate underlying trauma stemming from early life experiences. Officers with a history of ACEs may be more vulnerable to emotional dysregulation, hyper-vigilance, burnout, and substance abuse which can influence their decision making, relationships, and professional conduct potentially resulting in negative outcomes. Key themes include the identification of risk factors, the development of screening tools, …
Ineffective Parenting, Alexis Rian
Ineffective Parenting, Alexis Rian
Master of Arts in Human Services
Ineffective parenting can lead to long-term, severe, and lasting consequences for children. Children depend heavily on their primary caregivers for safety and to have their basic needs met. However, not all parents demonstrate positive parenting styles, whether due to a lack of knowledge, limited capacity, or simply a lack of interest. Parenting styles fall into four categories: authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved. The type of parenting style a caregiver adopts can significantly influence the attachment style a child has with them. Four attachment styles that children have are insecure avoidant attachment, secure attachment, insecure resistant attachment, and disorganized attachment. Children …

Underlying Causes Linking Foster Care And The Criminal Justice System, Marcia D. Wheeler
Master of Arts in Human Services
This research expands on the ongoing statewide crisis within the foster care system that needs to be properly addressed to benefit future and current foster youth. Research has found a connection between foster care and prison, often referred as the “foster-care-to-prison-pipeline.” This study aimed to explore the impact of trauma experienced by current and former foster youth through a life course lens looking at crucial areas of development using a mixed methodology supported by theoretical theories that explored the connection between foster care and the criminal justice system. The results showed that current and former foster youth face many adversities …
Not In My Neighborhood! The Harsh Realities Of Sex Offender Registration Laws, Kyle B. Rossow
Not In My Neighborhood! The Harsh Realities Of Sex Offender Registration Laws, Kyle B. Rossow
Master of Arts in Human Services
Sex offender registration laws were created in response to public fear and high-profile tragedies, with the primary goal of enhancing public safety through stringent monitoring of sexual offenders. This paper explores the historical development of these laws, including high-profile cases that later influenced legislative acts, such as the tragic incidents of Jacob Wetterling, Megan Kanka, and Adam Walsh. This paper also explores how media portrayals and public opinion factor into these legislative decisions. While the laws aim to protect the public, they often result in collateral consequences for individuals who have to register. Sex offenders are often held back by …
Archival Articulations Of Belonging: Resistance, Reimagination, And Resilience In School And In Incarceration, Caroline Hastings
Archival Articulations Of Belonging: Resistance, Reimagination, And Resilience In School And In Incarceration, Caroline Hastings
Dissertations
Belonging is a universal desire, providing purpose and comfort, that supports our ability to survive and triumph through difficulty. A lack of belonging can impact one’s likelihood of becoming incarcerated. In turn, incarceration stigmatizes individuals and disrupts connections with family, friends, and community members. This study of individual’s experiences of belonging analyzed reflective written accounts created during incarceration. This phenomenological qualitative examination of belonging for formerly and currently incarcerated individuals, disproportionately people of color and individuals with disabilities, sought to deepen our understanding of belonging as a force in their lives. In the United States, high rates of incarceration impact …
State Government Policies And Opioid Overdoses And Deaths, William Jerome Howard
State Government Policies And Opioid Overdoses And Deaths, William Jerome Howard
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
In the United States, opioid deaths posed a significant public health crisis with profound social and economic implications. The opioid crisis continued despite the implementation of state-level prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMP), naloxone access laws (NALs), and Medicaid expansion programs. Existing research demonstrated opioid deaths and nonfatal overdose patterns highlight the need for targeted harm reduction strategies, but there remained a lack of quantitative studies that addressed the effectiveness of opioid harm reduction policies. The purpose of this quasi-experimental quantitative research was to evaluate the relationship between state-level PDMPs, NALs, Medicaid expansion programs, and the COVID-19 global pandemic period (2020-2023), …

From Student To Colleague: Honoring The Legacy Of Dr. Philip Zimbardo, Allison Evans
From Student To Colleague: Honoring The Legacy Of Dr. Philip Zimbardo, Allison Evans
Heroism Science
In this article, I reflect on the profound professional, educational, and personal influence of Dr. Philip Zimbardo, tracing his journey from the Stanford Prison Experiment to his transformative work on heroism. Through personal narrative, student testimony, and colleague reflections, I illustrate Zimbardo’s evolution from studying the psychology of evil to fostering the psychology of everyday heroism via the Heroic Imagination Project (HIP). I recount moments of mentorship, public engagement, and collaborative program development, highlighting Zimbardo’s ability to connect across academic hierarchies and cultural boundaries. Vivid accounts from students and HIP leaders underscore his talent for empowering others, reframing heroism as …

Beyond The Bottle: The Lifelong Consequences Of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disroder, Victoria M. Van Curen Ms.
Master of Arts in Human Services
With increasing numbers of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, the focus is on FASD and the impact it has on mothers’, their unborn child, and the consequences that will lead to long-lasting effects. Once women find out that they are expecting, they stop drinking alcohol, but there is still statistic that shows about 8% of women reported that they continue to consume alcohol during their pregnancy. The paper will also include multiple real-life examples of studies that have been conducted on individuals with FASD. With studies focusing on individuals with FASD, it will also include different populations with FASD, and the …
Unmasking The Shadows: A Comprehensive Exploration Of Serial Killers, Erica D. Lewis
Unmasking The Shadows: A Comprehensive Exploration Of Serial Killers, Erica D. Lewis
Master of Arts in Human Services
Using a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative literature review and qualitative case study analysis, this capstone investigates the developmental pathways of serial killers. The study investigates a variety of biological, psychological, and sociological elements—such as genetic predispositions, neurological disorders, childhood traumas, and environmental stressors—interact to shape serial killers. The study offers a multidisciplinary perspective, grounded in criminological models such as routine activity and labeling theories, sociological frameworks such as social disorganization and strain theory, and psychological theories such as psychopathy and attachment theory. Theoretical findings are contextualized through case studies of notorious serial killers like Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and …

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
In Vera Institute of Justice v. Department of Justice, as in a raft of other cases involving constitutional, statutory, and regulatory challenges to the rapid mass cancellation of federal grants or grant programs, the government has deployed jurisdictional arguments in an effort to restrict the judiciary’s ability to review the legality of executive actions. Specifically, the government has attempted to confine jurisdiction over the plaintiffs’ claims to the Federal Court of Claims, which is powerless to remedy the alleged violations. The arguments by which the government would deny judicial review of the plaintiffs’ claims conflate two distinct considerations: first, …

The goal of this study was to enhance the understanding of the gender-based impact on women in the urban areas of Alaska by exploring strengths and constraints to resilience in the social and economic domains of gender equality during and in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on grounded theory methodology, this study is based on 29 in-depth, semi-structured interviews. The study methodology utilized a conceptual framework that integrated deficit-based and strength-based analytical perspectives. …
The Perceived Impact Of Officer-Involved Domestic Violence On Law Enforcement Administrators, Victoria Smith
The Perceived Impact Of Officer-Involved Domestic Violence On Law Enforcement Administrators, Victoria Smith
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The frequency of officer-involved domestic violence (OIDV) is a serious problem in the law enforcement profession. This qualitative phenomenological study aimed to determine what measures and specific domestic violence policies are working well and what is working poorly in Florida. This study is critical because it can aid upcoming law enforcement administrators (LEAs) and current LEAs in improving the policies and measures they use in their agency to combat OIDV among their officers and recruits. Jacques’s organizational culture theory (OCT) provided a framework for this study. I used purposeful snowball sampling methods to recruit participants for this study. Six law …
