California’S Ban On Cruel Or Unusual Punishment: A State Constitutional Analysis Of Anti-Camping Ordinances, Anna R. Janson
California’S Ban On Cruel Or Unusual Punishment: A State Constitutional Analysis Of Anti-Camping Ordinances, Anna R. Janson
Connecticut Law Review
In Martin v. City of Boise, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit relied on the Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause of the Eighth Amendment to rule that a class of involuntarily unhoused individuals may not be criminally punished for sleeping on public property in the absence of “sufficient alternatives” for all unhoused people. In Johnson v. City of Grants Pass, the Ninth Circuit elaborated that civil schemes which lead to criminal punishment are unconstitutional as well. However, the United States Supreme Court granted certiorari in the latter case and disrupted both Ninth Circuit decisions. The Court …
Building Layered Defenses To Reduce Illegal Gun Violence, Samuel Kan
Building Layered Defenses To Reduce Illegal Gun Violence, Samuel Kan
Faculty Scholarship
This article examines a multifaceted approach to reducing illegal gun violence in the United States through the implementation of layered defense strategies. While acknowledging the constitutional protections afforded by the Second Amendment, the author argues that targeted legislative and community-based interventions can effectively reduce gun violence without infringing on lawful gun ownership rights. The analysis explores several key defensive measures, including extreme risk laws (risk protection orders), which allow for temporary firearm removal from individuals posing credible threats to themselves or others—a practice recently upheld by the Supreme Court in United States v. Rahimi. The article further examines the constitutional …
Does The Private Prison Industry Perpetrate More Staff Sexual Misconduct Than In Federal Prisons?, Abigail Lutrick
Does The Private Prison Industry Perpetrate More Staff Sexual Misconduct Than In Federal Prisons?, Abigail Lutrick
Political Science Undergraduate Honors Theses
This paper compares the reported statistics of staff-on-inmate sexual misconduct allegations in privately and federally operated correctional facilities. The federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) was first created with the goal of protecting public safety and promoting rehabilitation for criminal offenders humanely. As decades have passed, and the support for the validity of this mission has wavered, the federal government has implemented oversight and remedial programs to report on the misconduct that is evident in prison management in an attempt to curb these incidents. Previous research in this field highlights the waning reliability of institutional indicators to the success of correctional …
The Different Rhetoric Between Upholding And Overriding Disability Rights Inside The United States Supreme Court, Shane Egan
Political Science Undergraduate Honors Theses
This paper seeks to explain the rhetoric the U.S. Supreme Court uses when deciding disability cases, specifically when the Court upholds or overrides disability rights. The paper attempts to show how when the Court upholds disabled rights they use passive and weak rhetoric, and utilizes active and enforcing rhetoric when overriding disability rights. This paper analyzes this rhetoric inside education, healthcare, and employment cases heard by the Supreme Court.
Resiliency Training For Music Therapy Students During Fieldwork Experiences, Crystal Weaver
Resiliency Training For Music Therapy Students During Fieldwork Experiences, Crystal Weaver
Dissertations
All music therapy undergraduate and equivalency students in the United States must complete 1,200 hours of fieldwork experience to obtain degree conferment from an accredited and approved higher education program (American Music Therapy Association, 2023b, p. 1). While engaging in fieldwork had several benefits for music therapy students, such as the opportunity to build practical experience and refine skills, the experience also involved several challenges (Forinash, 2019; Tien & Trang, 2020). A challenge not yet thoroughly examined by faculty and staff within higher education music therapy programs was student mental health. To date, researchers had not examined the prevalence of …

Design Of A Helical-Type Rotor For Enhanced Energy Harvesting In Smallscale Vertical Axis Wind Turbines, Aadee M. Mitee
2025 Spring Honors Capstone Projects - Archive
This research investigates the design optimization of a small-scale Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) utilizing helical rotor blades fabricated from graphene-reinforced polyethylene terephthalate. While previous studies have largely concentrated on largescale turbines for rural environments or on high-performance composite materials that often compromise recyclability, this research addresses the specific challenges associated with small-scale VAWTs intended for urban and populated areas. The study identified tip speed ratio, helical angle, and blade length as critical design parameters. Optimization of these parameters was achieved through systematic evaluation of their impact on the turbine’s aerodynamic performance, quantified by the coefficient of performance. Structural and …
Everyday Justice And Neighborhood Associations., Rebecca Wells-Gonzalez
Everyday Justice And Neighborhood Associations., Rebecca Wells-Gonzalez
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study explores the lived experiences of residents in marginalized neighborhoods, focusing on the impact of neighborhood associations on perceived justice and resilience. Utilizing a feminist qualitative approach, the Everyday Justice and Neighborhood Associations (EJANA) framework integrates Human Capabilities, Everyday Life Experiences, and Resilience Justice frameworks. Semi-structured interviews across three distinct neighborhoods (Bashford Manor, Oakdale, and Shelby Park in Louisville, Kentucky) revealed that neighborhood associations were often perceived as inaccessible and ineffective, failing to address prevalent inequities. Participants reported feelings of alienation and marginalization, highlighting a disconnect between association activities and community needs. This study emphasizes the need for inclusive, …
Does The Major Questions Doctrine Apply To The Federal Courts?, Michael Coenen, Seth Davis
Does The Major Questions Doctrine Apply To The Federal Courts?, Michael Coenen, Seth Davis
Fordham Law Review
The new “major questions doctrine” (MQD) requires courts to apply a “distinct” approach to statutory interpretation when reviewing challenges to an agency action of “vast economic and political significance.” Under that approach, courts must assume that such an action exceeds the scope of that agency’s statutory authority unless there exists “clear congressional authorization” for it. In this Article, we examine whether this new rule for administrative agencies (or what we call the “agency MQD”) implies the existence of a similarly strong constraint on the federal courts’ power to interpret and apply statutes for themselves (or what we call the “judicial …

Recognizing Injustice, Reclaiming Voices: Establishing A Missing Persons Database For Missing And Murdered Indigenous Women And Children In Nebraska, Bayly W. Watson
Department of Anthropology: Theses and Student Research
Indigenous people have been the victims of harsh persecution since the time of colonization; this has negatively impacted Native communities and has contributed significantly to the ongoing crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Children (MMIWC) across the United States and Canada. Under Legislative Bill 154, Richards et al. (2021) conducted an initial study to identify missing Native cases in Nebraska and in 2023, the Attorney General appointed a Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) Liaison to help combat the number of missing Indigenous in the state.

But For A Free Press: A Response To Press Freedom Skeptics, Kevin F. O'Neill, Patrick J. Charles
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
This Article is divided into three Parts. Part I will outline the history-in-law case forwhy the historical record sufficiently supports recognizing distinct constitutional press freedoms. Part II then provides a history-in-law response to some of the most common arguments made by press freedom skeptics as to why distinct constitutional press freedoms should not be recognized by the courts. Lastly, Part III makes the case for why the recognition of distinct constitutional press freedoms should become a jurisprudential reality and provides a roadmap to accomplish this.
Essential Components For A Uas Standard Operating Procedure Manual For State Departments Of Transportation, Nurudeen Segun Lawal
Essential Components For A Uas Standard Operating Procedure Manual For State Departments Of Transportation, Nurudeen Segun Lawal
All Theses
The integration of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) within state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) has become increasingly essential for improving efficiency, safety, and regulatory compliance in transportation operations. However, the lack of a standardized approach to UAS program management has resulted in variability in policies, procedures, and implementation strategies across state agencies. This study examines how state DOTs incorporate the Association of Unscrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) Organizational Implementation Guide (OIG) 35 essential components into their UAS Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and identifies 13 additional components that address agency-specific operational, regulatory, and administrative needs. Through an analysis of publicly available SOPs …
The First Amendment On Trial: Hate Speech, Free Speech And College Campuses, Maya Rotman
The First Amendment On Trial: Hate Speech, Free Speech And College Campuses, Maya Rotman
English
This thesis examines the tension between the First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech and the harmful impact of hate speech on college campuses. As incidents of targeted, discriminatory rhetoric rise in academic settings, the need to reevaluate what constitutes protected speech has become increasingly urgent. Through legal analysis, including case law such as Brandenburg v. Ohio and Schenck v. United States, this paper argues that the Supreme Court must distinguish between constitutionally protected speech and harmful hate speech. The thesis uses contemporary case studies from college campuses across the country. It includes firsthand accounts from the University at Albany …
Mental Health Advocates, Lawmakers Discuss Involuntary Commitment Expansion, Joshua T. Stone
Mental Health Advocates, Lawmakers Discuss Involuntary Commitment Expansion, Joshua T. Stone
Communication
New York has made it easier to involuntarily hospitalize people with severe mental illness as part of the state budget signed at the Capitol in early May by Gov. Kathy Hochul. State law previously allowed people with severe mental illness to be involuntarily hospitalized if two physicians determined they pose a threat to themselves or others. The updated law sets a standard to include people who are deemed unwilling or unable to support their basic needs, including food, shelter and medical care, due to their mental illness. However, opponents of the updated law say it could be misused to involuntarily …

Preserving Historic Houses: An Analysis Of Cleaning Methods For The Removal Of Fire Extinguisher Discharge On Historic Finished Plaster, Jessica Lynn Ridder
All Theses
Fire extinguishers are a necessity within any publicly accessible building, and their use is regulated by codes for public safety. When a fire extinguisher is used, the discharge residue can cause damage to the materials it comes into contact with. This potential damage presents an issue for many house museums, as the loss or removal of damaged material may affect the historic integrity of the site. With the ultimate goal of preserving the material integrity of historic sites, the ability to quickly and easily remove fire extinguisher discharge residue can allow materials, such as historic finished plaster, to remain in …
The Wavering Future Of Democracy In Latin America, Brianna N. Bleeck
The Wavering Future Of Democracy In Latin America, Brianna N. Bleeck
Political Science Undergraduate Honors Theses
The erosion of democratic governance in Latin America has emerged as a critical area of concern for political scientists, policymakers, and international organizations. Historically, the region has experienced fluctuating political landscapes marked by periods of democratic consolidation followed by authoritarian regression. Throughout the 20th century, countries such as Chile, Argentina, and Brazil witnessed military dictatorships resulting from socio-economic crises and political instability. Despite widespread democratic transitions throughout the 1980s and 1990s, contemporary Latin America faces new challenges that threaten its democratic integrity. The resurgence of authoritarian tendencies within the region coincides with escalating homicide and assault rates in many countries, …
Analysis Of Opposition To Multifamily Housing In Shrewsbury, Ma, Justin Dobson
Analysis Of Opposition To Multifamily Housing In Shrewsbury, Ma, Justin Dobson
Master of Public Administration for Senior Leadership
Massachusetts is experiencing a critical shortage of affordable housing, driven by decades of underbuilding, which is exacerbated by local opposition to multifamily housing development. Although the Commonwealth has adopted policies to increase housing supply, such as Chapter 40B and the MBTA Communities Act, the impact of these efforts is mitigated by resistance from residents at the local level. This research analyzes whether common concerns voiced by opponents of multifamily, affordable housing, such as adverse impacts on school enrollment, property values, municipal services, and infrastructure, are substantiated by data. Using Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, as a case study, this research employs a quantitative …

Optimizing Client Retention In Mental Health Diversion, Amelia N. Hernandez
Capstone Projects and Master's Theses
This qualitative study at the Monterey County Public Defender’s Office explored client experiences within the mental health diversion program. The research was prompted by a noticeable discrepancy of high case dismissal rates that appeared to be linked to declining client engagement rather than successful program completion. Twelve clients were interviewed and categorized into two groups: active participants and program graduates. Additionally, two lead attorneys overseeing diversion cases were interviewed to provide further insight into the program’s impact and potential strategies to strengthen client engagement. Through analysis, six key recommendations emerged: (1) a participant checklist packet, (2) Employment Connect partnerships, (3) …
