The Democratizing Potential Of Algorithms?, Ngozi Okidegbe Jan 2022

The Democratizing Potential Of Algorithms?, Ngozi Okidegbe

Connecticut Law Review

Jurisdictions are increasingly embracing the use of pretrial risk assessment algorithms as a solution to the problem of mass pretrial incarceration. Conversations about the use of pretrial algorithms in legal scholarship have tended to focus on their opacity, determinativeness, reliability, validity, or their (in)ability to reduce high rates of incarceration, as well as racial and socioeconomic disparities within the pretrial system. This Article breaks from this tendency, examining these algorithms from a democratization of criminal law perspective. Using this framework, it points out that currently employed algorithms are exclusionary of the viewpoints and values of the racially marginalized communities most …


Rise Of Police Unions On The Back Of The Black Liberation Movement, Ayesha Bell Hardaway Jan 2022

Rise Of Police Unions On The Back Of The Black Liberation Movement, Ayesha Bell Hardaway

Connecticut Law Review

Police unions have garnered the attention of the media and some scholars in recent years. That attention has often focused on exploring the seemingly inexplicable and routine power police unions have to shield problem officers from accountability. This Article shows that police union power did not surreptitiously arrive on the doorsteps of American cities. Instead, collective bargaining rights for law enforcement began to gain firm footing during the 1960s as white Americans remained committed to preserving their place in the nation’s racial hierarchy as it related to housing, jobs, education, and entertainment. Existing legal scholarship has successfully highlighted the depth …

Machine Learning Algorithms For Forecasting The Impacts Of Connected And Automated Vehicles On Highway Construction Costs, Amirsaman Mahdavian

Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023

A multitude of externalities affects transport efficiency and numbers of trips. Population expansion, urban development, political issues, fiscal trends, and growth in the field of connected, automated, shared, and electric (CASE) vehicles have all played prominent roles. While the market is keenly aware of the upcoming shift to the CASE vehicles, the transformation itself is reliant upon the development of technologies, customer outlook, and guidelines. The purpose of this research is to establish an overview of the possible network design problems, as well as potential consequences to vehicle automation systems by employing machine learning and system dynamics analysis. Finally, the …

The Paris Agreement’s goal to hold warming to 1.5°-2°C above pre-industrial levels now appears unrealistic. Profs. Robin Kundis Craig and J.B. Ruhl have recently argued that because a 4°C world may be likely, we must recognize the disruptive consequences of such a world and respond by reimagining governance structures to meet the challenges of adapting to it. In this latest in a biannual series of essays, they and other members of the Environmental Law Collaborative explore what 4°C might mean for a variety of current legal doctrines, planning policies, governance structures, and institutions.

Resilience Of Former Offenders Released From A Halfway House, Tasha Andrea Pritchett Jan 2022

Resilience Of Former Offenders Released From A Halfway House, Tasha Andrea Pritchett

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Former offenders confront a myriad of obstacles that often lead to re-offending and return to prison. Re-offending also creates financial and social burdens for taxpayers. There is some evidence that the consequences of incarceration for offenders can be buffered through resilience. Factors that promote resilience can be personal (internal) and environmental (external), and may directly or indirectly affect offenders’ adaptation, well-being, and development as they transition out of prison. The purpose of the study was to explore the narratives of resilience in adult males who have transitioned from halfway houses to mainstream society. Richardson’s metatheory of resilience and resiliency was …

This project focused on compiling a systematic review of existing literature to provide evidence and insights into the optimal structure and process of transitioning new graduate nurses to intensive care nursing practice. The American Associations of Critical Care Nurses synergy conceptual model and Patricia Benner's novice to expert …


Strategies To Reduce Flight Attendant Voluntary Turnover, Jorge Tobar Jan 2022

Strategies To Reduce Flight Attendant Voluntary Turnover, Jorge Tobar

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Flight attendant voluntary turnover can lead to staffing shortages that can cause severe disruptions to flight schedules, damage the airlines’ reputations, and negatively affect revenues, which are significant challenges for airline leaders. Grounded in Herzberg’s two-factor theory, the purpose of this qualitative multiple-case study was to explore strategies airline leaders use to reduce flight attendant voluntary turnover. Data were collected from four leaders from four U.S. airlines in the southwestern United States using semistructured interviews and reviews of organizational documents. Five themes emerged from thematic analysis: improving compensation and benefits packages, implementing rewards and recognition programs, increasing supervisory support, expanding …

The Use Of Social Media For Disaster Information In Houston-Galveston, Tx, Erik Phillip Zugner

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

AbstractDisasters, natural or human-caused, have the ability to inflict catastrophic economic and physical damage to communities around the world. As social media is becoming more widespread in the use of information sharing, it is not being used to its full potential to communicate with the communities in the greater Houston-Galveston, TX region. The purpose of this study was to address the use and implementation of social media for disasters and large-scale events in the Houston-Galveston, TX region. I used the transformative framework as outlined by Creswell as the theoretical framework for this study. The qualitative research questions focused on social …

Effective Strategies To Recruit Post-9/11 Veterans To Fill Transportation-Related, Jeremy Haynes

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Some transportation company leaders struggle to attract and retain employees in an increasingly active and turbulent labor market. Failure to resupply human capital can disrupt and jeopardize supply chain capabilities across the United States. Grounded in the person-organization fit theory, the purpose of this multiple case study was to explore strategies HR managers use to recruit qualified military veterans to fill transportation vacancies. The participants included three HR managers from three transportation companies in the southeastern and midwestern regions of the United States that successfully implemented a military veteran recruiting strategy. Data were collected from semistructured interviews, journal notes taken …


Perception Of Racial Minorities And Police Officers Involving Use Of Force, Linda L. Hester Jan 2022

Perception Of Racial Minorities And Police Officers Involving Use Of Force, Linda L. Hester

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Although police training, codes of ethics, and use of force policies are in place at police departments, the problem is there is a lack of standardization involving use of force by police officers, which is triggering community concerns between police officers and racial minorities. The present study built on the work of Riter by exploring perceptions and lived experiences of racial minorities involving police officers’ use of force based on fear, trust, and confidence. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore whether lived experiences of racial minority citizens differ from police officers regarding use of force in a …


Russian Federalism In 2012-2021, Vladimir Kalajdzhyan Jan 2022

Russian Federalism In 2012-2021, Vladimir Kalajdzhyan

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Researchers have disagreed on whether the Russian federal system of government was one of the many models of federalism, its own unique form of it, or not federalism. Therefore, the overarching research question investigated was how classic western theoretical frameworks on federalism applied to the contemporary Russian federal system, how the Russian system evolved in its own unique way, and how it related to asymmetrical federalist, quasi-federalist, and non-federalist systems. The classic theoretical foundation framework on federalism was applied. The purpose of this research was to study current trends within the Russian federal government system and investigate paths for Russia’s …


Exploring Systemic Reform In Criminal Justice For Afro-Americans Based On Critical Policy Ethnography, Cozetta Butts Lamore Jan 2022

Exploring Systemic Reform In Criminal Justice For Afro-Americans Based On Critical Policy Ethnography, Cozetta Butts Lamore

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

The persistent disproportionate rates of Afro-American involvement within the criminal justice system at all levels have resulted in historic levels of unexplained mass incarceration. Despite federal guidance, the pandemic of unexplained mass incarceration persists. Some studies have noted that the lack of academic attention may be one of the primary reasons for the lack of change. Others have noted the need for centering and lifting the perspective of those who have been most impacted by these racial disparities. The intent of this study was to offer a qualitative close-up examination and analysis from the perspective of impacted populations. The ecological …


Veteran Defendant Reasons For Opting Out Of Veterans' Treatment Court, Delilah A. Moore Jan 2022

Veteran Defendant Reasons For Opting Out Of Veterans' Treatment Court, Delilah A. Moore

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Veterans’ treatment courts (VTCs) are problem-solving courts created to address the specific treatment needs of veteran defendants. Consistent with general strain theory, the stressors of military service can lead to negative emotions that have been linked to criminality. Despite the favorable results of studies on the efficacy of VTCs to reduce recidivism, participation is voluntary, and not all eligible candidates elect to participate. The purpose of this study was to discover why defendants choose to opt out. Understanding the barriers to participation is critical for VTC actors charged with providing treatment to as many veterans as possible. A qualitative study …


Successful Ethical Reporting Strategies In The Technology Industry, Frances Aida Billingsley Jan 2022

Successful Ethical Reporting Strategies In The Technology Industry, Frances Aida Billingsley

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

AbstractTechnology employees can feel restricted if there is an inability to report unethical behaviors safely, resulting in disengagement and reduced work performance. Technology managers need effective, ethical reporting strategies to improve work performance. Grounded in stakeholder theory, the purpose of this multiple case study was to explore the ethical reporting strategies that three technology managers used to improve work performance in New Jersey. The data sources were semistructured interviews and company documents from the companies’ websites, annual reports, professional association biographies, and the LinkedIn profiles of participants. The three primary themes that emerged using thematic analysis were documenting incidents immediately, …
