The research questions were: What specific factors or constraints impede the successful achievement of program goals? In what ways do the identified constraints hinder the effectiveness of the programs? What strategies could be implemented to overcome constraints and improve …

Centering Black Resource-Poor Adolescent Voices: A Critical Phenomenological Study Of Lived Mental Health Struggles While Enduring The Covid-19 Pandemic, Paulette Dispagna

Counseling and Psychology Dissertations

There is a dearth of research in general and qualitative research specifically about the mental health experience of resource-poor Black adolescents living in Boston. This has implications for the field in terms of how adolescents experiencing mental health issues can be supported and how professionals can create more useful mental health treatment. Drawing from the theoretical lens of critical race theory and more specifically, intersectionality, this hermeneutic phenomenological inquiry examined the ways in which experiencing multiple levels of inequality, especially from racism and poverty, affected a Black adolescent’s mental health. Eleven adolescents were interviewed via Zoom. Six major findings included: …

This research focused on gender identity and sexual orientation to highlight the difficulties as well as discrimination and harassment which can negatively impact LGBTQ officers’ general well-being. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews from a sample of 11 LGBTQ law enforcement officers in the Pee Dee Region. Date was …

Deep Core Advocacy Coalitions, Christopher M. Weible, Anna M. Crawford, Allegra H. Fullerton, Kayla M. Gabehart, Katherine E. Imhoff, Giulia Mariani

Michigan Tech Publications

As one of the most established theoretical approaches to public policy, the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) has moored most of its theoretical arguments around a textbook policy conflict consisting of two or more advocacy coalitions in a mature adversarial policy subsystem within an advanced polyarchy. This article steps beyond the textbook by introducing deep core coalitions marked by compounding intersectional identities operating at the macro-system. It offers two illustrations of deep core coalitions, one bound by their collective transgender identity and the other by their collective traditionalist identity. Finally, this article concludes with a discussion of what it means for …

Rudderless And Adrift: States’ Unwarranted Timidity Respecting Stateless Vessels, Andrew Norris

International Law Studies

This article argues that there is no international legal impediment to any State robustly asserting prescriptive, enforcement, or adjudicative jurisdiction over vessels without nationality. It first examines the rules relating to vessel nationality to demonstrate the strong international preference that vessels be properly flagged in a particular State. It then examines the phenomenon of vessels without nationality, with a focus on what constitutes statelessness, and what the contemporary understanding is of the jurisdictional effect of that status. It concludes with a legal analysis, based on the Lotus principle and a recent U.S. appellate court decision that relied upon it, of …

Lack Of Protection For Whistleblowers At The Workplace In Nigeria: Drawing Lessons From Selected Jurisdictions, David Tarh-Akong Eyongndi, Faith Nwayemogho Opara

Padjadjaran Jurnal Ilmu Hukum (Journal of Law)

The Nigerian government has created anti-corruption agencies, such as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC), to contend with corruption. In 2015, the Federal Ministry of Finance introduced the whistleblowing policy. The policy enables corrupt practices in any workplace, either private or public, to be exposed. However, following the policy, there is no legal framework for the implementation nor protection of the whistleblower. This article adopts doctrinal and comparative methodology to examine the utilitarian values and the propriety of whistleblowing vis-à-vis the employee’s obligation to act in good faith under …
