Social Workers: A Missing Piece Of The Puzzle To School Gun Violence Intervention, Richard L. Glover

Doctorate of Social Work (DSW) Capstones 2024-

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2023) data, firearm deaths among youth are a chief public health crisis in the United States. The problem of gun violence is particularly concerning when incidents occur in schools. School stakeholders expect schools to be safe havens, particularly parents and their children. Every reported fatal incident at a school violates safety and security expectations. When the fatality involves gun violence, reactions are quick, varied, and pronounced, reflecting a range of emotions, including outrage, concern, frustration, and resignation. This paper will build a framework for a model grounded in a comprehensive literature review. …

Plymouth County is located in southeastern Massachusetts, between Boston and Cape Cod. The county has more than 500,000 residents and is made up of a diverse array of 27 communities, ranging from small affluent New England towns to urban impoverished commercial areas.

Racism Detection In Tweets, Ndjeuha Gihane

All Graduate Projects

Since the advent of social networks in 1997, businesses and people’s lives have changed in a good way. From promoting companies to reaching out to friends and family, social networking has become a major element in our lives. X is a very popular platform that is used by many people, including celebrities and politicians, to communicate with their audience. Like other platforms, X is not spared by the racism contained in the tweets. We should be able to catch those racist comments on any social media and block the accounts of those responsible for them. To do so, we have …

The Rise In Racial Tension: Metropolitan High School Administrators' Perceptions Of School Resource Officers, Joshua Stephen Mahan

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Although heuristic models on safety for Black students have been proposed following the death of George Floyd (Edwards, 2021), little research to date has highlighted how Minnesota educational leaders perceive school resource officers (SROs) in schools. This phenomenological investigation explored the shared lived experiences of six Minnesota high school administrators from one school district that employed SROs. Five themes were determined in the course of data analysis, including qualified advocacy for SROs, SRO contributions to de-escalating for safer schools, SRO assistance in emergency situations, SRO caused escalation, and SRO caused racial harm. Findings from this study revealed support for SROs …

Crowdsourcing Surveillance, Chaz Arnett

Faculty Scholarship

In Unreasonable: Black Lives, Police Power, and the Fourth Amendment, Devon W. Carbado illuminates how both the spectacular and quotidian forms of racialized terror, brutality, and surveillance—characteristic of enslavement—have shaped the construction of our constitutional order. He argues that the combined social normalization and legal naturalization of racial hierarchy paved the way for the development of slave patrols and other early iterations of policing where incredible acts of violence against Black bodies were made ordinary and essential. He explains how this legacy continues today with Fourth Amendment jurisprudence not simply failing to protect rights but rather licensing police violence …

Timmsen: A Criminal Procedure U-Turn Or Just A Detour?, Nancy Jack, Karl T. Muth

Loyola University Chicago Law Journal

This Article reviews a recent traffic stop case in Illinois that looks unremarkable from a distance but, upon closer examination, contains a variety of criminal procedure questions about traffic stops, mistake of law, formation of suspicion, and—ultimately—the durability and flexibility of the reasonable, articulable suspicion standard itself when a bizarre fact pattern puts it to the test. In People v. Timmsen, the Illinois Supreme Court wrestles with the question of whether wholly legal behavior, when misinterpreted as illegal conduct, can create the basis for a roadside interaction and the evidentiary question of whether, given the facts particular to this …

Prisons As Laboratories Of Antidemocracy, Brandon Hasbrouck

Scholarly Articles

Prisons are woefully ineffective as tools to protect society from violence and exploitation, yet America’s prison population exploded in the twentieth century. On the outside, this devastated Black communities, Black opportunities, Black economic power, and Black voting power. Yet a similarly insidious development came from inside prison walls: prison administrators honed antidemocratic techniques for constraining and oppressing incarcerated persons, techniques that would later be deployed against the ostensibly free population. Jeffrey Bellin’s Mass Incarceration Nation provides a robust analysis of the ways state and federal policies have combined to create an explosion in the scope of American prisons in the …

The Use Of Clearview Ai To Support Warrants Violates The Fourth Amendment, Kevin Johnson

Fordham Intellectual Property, Media and Entertainment Law Journal

Social media platforms encouraged millions of Americans to post hundreds of photos of themselves on the Internet. Clearview AI, a tool that harnesses “publicly available” online images for facial recognition, violated those platforms’ terms of service to collect those photos and in doing so de-anonymized millions of Americans. This Note examines the Fourth Amendment implications of law enforcement’s use of Clearview AI and its compatibility with constitutional protections. This Note argues that the use of Clearview AI by police to support warrant applications runs afoul of established legal standards by analyzing the evolution of Fourth Amendment ju …

Towards A Transparency-Based, Value-Sensitive Design Solution For Bias In Self-Driving Cars: An Ethical Violation Assessment And Risk Analysis Framework On Consumer-Held Values, Nada Ahmad Madkour

Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

Background: The rapid growth of automated systems and artificial intelligence (AI), particularly, self-driving cars (SDCs), has attracted significant investments and can potentially contribute to humanity’s flourishing. However, before widespread adoption, it is important to address ethical violations such as bias in AI, highlighted by many real-world cases of bias in AI leading to unfair outcomes in tools like facial recognition, hiring software, and pedestrian detection. Bias in AI can lead to potentially fatal outcomes in SDCs, emphasizing the need for a thorough examination of bias in SDCs.

Purpose: To enhance AI ethics by providing tools to support transparency and value- …

Key Principles For University-Community Partnerships: A Qualitative Case Study Of A Successful Coalition During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Michael Preston

Community Engagement Student Work

Anchor institutions are large place-based organizations such as universities, hospitals, and forprofit and non-profit businesses that invest in their surrounding communities as a way of doing business.

This capstone is a qualitative case study that explores the dynamics and outcomes of the COVID-19 partnership between Johns Hopkins University and its surrounding community. By delving into the experiences, perspectives, and interactions of the stakeholders involved, this study aims to identify the factors that …
