Police Brutality: The Nexus Between Historical Injustices, Police Culture And The African American Experience, Claude M. Rhone
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
This study focused on the harassment, maltreatment, and brutality of African Americans by police officers. The recent widespread condemnation and social justice protests in response to incidents of police brutality point to historical injustices inherent to the culture of policing. Slavery provides the overarching backdrop; however, Jim Crow laws cultivated the structural adaptations necessary to fulfill segregation between African Americans and Whites. The American policing model, which evolved from slave patrols to public entities, continued as an apparatus in the marginalization and disenfranchisement of African Americans. The narrative of “defunding the police” suggests that the past’s cultural proximity renders the …

Understanding The Lived Experiences Of Law Enforcement Officers Utilizing Employee Assistance Programs After Critical Incidents, Lovetta Quinn-Henry
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The purpose of this transcendental phenomenological research was to understand and describe the lived experiences of Central Florida law enforcement officers who utilized an employee assistance program (EAP) following a critical incident. Law enforcement professionals exposed to critical workplace incidents are often referred to an EAP for their mental health. The problem is that law enforcement officers severely underutilize the available services offered by an EAP, even after critical incidents when the support is urgently needed. Piaget’s work is underpinned by McCann and Pearlman’s constructivist self-development theory guiding the study. The theory asserts that individuals draw from their experiences to …

Living A Better Story: The Lived Narrative Apologetic In The Book Of Acts, Cedric Lemar Thomas
Living A Better Story: The Lived Narrative Apologetic In The Book Of Acts, Cedric Lemar Thomas
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Is it possible to articulate an apologetic practice from the account of Luke-Acts, which is not among the current popular Christian apologetic practices within contemporary apologetic scholarship? Can one consider the narratives in this history of Acts as a description of apologetic methodology, a sort of a first Christian apologetic practice demonstrated by Jesus and then replicated by His disciples? The answer is yes. The historical work of Luke offers an early apologetic practice in which the story of Scripture, the narrative of God, witnessed incarnationally through the life of Jesus and continued by the early church. Like Scripture, the …

Geopolitical Actions Of The German Empire Prior To The First World War – A Modified Dime Analysis –, Gregory A. Mauck
Geopolitical Actions Of The German Empire Prior To The First World War – A Modified Dime Analysis –, Gregory A. Mauck
Masters Theses
It is said that the victors write the history. That adage is demonstrably true for the history of the First World War. The German Empire, Das Deutsche Kaiserreich, has shouldered most of the blame for the war for most of the past century. Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles declares this German guilt in no uncertain terms. But is this a fair assessment? A study of pre-war German diplomatic and military actions provides a method to partially assess the culpability of Germany for the Great War. A fair analysis of that geopolitical activity shows that the actions of the …

The Influence Of Prayer On Anxiety In Black Males: A Hermeneutic Phenomenological Study, Robin Houston Stitt
The Influence Of Prayer On Anxiety In Black Males: A Hermeneutic Phenomenological Study, Robin Houston Stitt
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Prayer is a primary indicator that Christians use to infuse meaning into their lives and navigate life's difficulties.

The purpose of this study in Pastoral Care and Counseling was to ascertain why studies have …
The Shaffer Thesis Arthur Harvey Shaffer: American Founding History And History Education, C. C. Mathis
The Shaffer Thesis Arthur Harvey Shaffer: American Founding History And History Education, C. C. Mathis
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Historian Arthur Harvey Shaffer (1936-2002) argued that the post-Revolution historians created a New England-centric nationalist history perspective of the American founding. He further argued they established a model of nationalist American history education to instill a virtuous national character and ensure the stability of the new republic. Though current trends show an increasing number of scholars reassessing New England primacy in American colonial and revolutionary era histories, Shaffer’s historical perspective and pedagogy appears overlooked. Shaffer’s historical perspective and pedagogy can be integrated into a unique historical lens for insight into the link between American history scholarship, history education, and national …
The Effect Of Drug Legalization On Property Crime In A County In Washington State: A Causal-Comparative Study, Trent Michael Dow
The Effect Of Drug Legalization On Property Crime In A County In Washington State: A Causal-Comparative Study, Trent Michael Dow
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Washington state embarked on an ambitious policy of drug legalization from February of 2021 to July of 2023. Initially arising from the Washington State Supreme Court’s Blake decision and continued through new legislation later in the year, drug legalization had a significant impact on Washington State communities. The lack of criminal sanctions for drug possession eliminated deterrence, increased impairment and cognitive deficits related to drug use, and prevented the use of court-ordered rehabilitative interventions. An understanding of the impacts of drug legalization on American communities is essential and currently understudied. This study set out to assess the effect of drug …

Geochemical Processes On The Martian Surface: An Investigation Of Dust, Mineral Transformations, And Trace Elements Along Rover Traverses, Abigail Leigh Knight
Geochemical Processes On The Martian Surface: An Investigation Of Dust, Mineral Transformations, And Trace Elements Along Rover Traverses, Abigail Leigh Knight
Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations
Martian surfaces processes often result in changes in mineralogy and chemical perturbations in surface materials. Trace elements can serve as geochemical indicators of past aqueous and volcanic activity, and the mineralogy of the surface can offer evidence of specific mineral transformation pathways and therefore past conditions on Mars. Constraining past surface environments is critical to assessing the potential habitability of Mars in its past. Further, the composition of the Martian surface informs the availability of bioessential elements. Acquiring data from Mars to investigate its composition requires immense resources to plan, develop, and operate missions. Utilization of Mars rover payload instruments …
Essays In Corporate Governance, Jun Mok Kim
Essays In Corporate Governance, Jun Mok Kim
Olin Business School Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations
This thesis consists of two essays that deal with institutional investors and corporate governance. In particular the first chapter studies the relationship between higher temperatures and institutions’ proxy voting. Analyzing voting decisions by U.S. mutual funds, I find that heat exposure negatively correlates with voting against management. The findings concentrate on companies or shareholder proposals where a stockholding in the firm represents a larger share of an institution’s portfolio. The heat-voting relationship is stronger when an institutional shareholder is experiencing unusually hotter temperatures. My results suggest potentially significant but hidden corporate governance implications of climate change. The second chapter studies …
