How Students Benefit From Trauma Informed Instruction And Strategies, John Michael Webb Jan 2024

How Students Benefit From Trauma Informed Instruction And Strategies, John Michael Webb

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Trauma-informed teaching is a life changing undertaking that recognizes the important impact of trauma on students’ lives and learning experiences. This thesis provides a concise overview of the key principles and benefits of trauma-informed teaching. To understand trauma, teachers/service providers need to know that trauma can take many forms, including physical, emotional, or psychological abuse, neglect, or exposure to violence. It is very important for teachers to recognize that trauma is widespread and can significantly obstruct a student’s ability to thrive in school. This thesis has been written to define trauma and inform special education teachers on how to apply …


Worst Practices: Departmental Predictors Of Police-Involved Deaths In Minnesota, 2013–2022, Joseph D. Ramlet Jan 2024

Worst Practices: Departmental Predictors Of Police-Involved Deaths In Minnesota, 2013–2022, Joseph D. Ramlet

Capstone Projects

For decades, police departments in every part of the United States have been scrutinized for incidents of excessive and unjustified force. Some departments kill more of the citizenry than others, both with and without justification. Attention is drawn to Minnesota in the decade since the advent of the Black Lives Matter movement, through and after the murder of George Floyd and subsequent racial reckoning. Existing scholarship categorizes factors as individual and contextual, both of which are included in partial least squares regression performed on crowdsourced data and responses to Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics surveys from 29 departments in …


The Post-Ongwen Case Period And The Reconciliation Process In Northern Uganda: Local Communities As A Site Of Knowledge, Christelle Molima Bameka Jan 2024

The Post-Ongwen Case Period And The Reconciliation Process In Northern Uganda: Local Communities As A Site Of Knowledge, Christelle Molima Bameka

Scholarly Articles

By providing victims with more space in the Ongwen case, the International Criminal Court (icc) has significantly contributed to the healing of the trauma and community reconciliation in northern Uganda. That said, this court has also raised issues that could affect local efforts to achieve peace, namely the positioning of victims of child soldiers vis-à-vis criminal child soldiers. Drawing on qualitative data collected through focus group discussions with some community members from locations under investigation by the icc, this sociolegal study examines the victims’ narratives about child soldiers and the different ideas of human rights that emerge. Then, it explores …


The Specter Of Homelessness In Community And How To Address It, Amy Meigs Jan 2024

The Specter Of Homelessness In Community And How To Address It, Amy Meigs

Hare & Bell Writing Contest

In a 2023 campaign launched by the City of Lawrence, Kansas, housed individuals were encouraged to report their unhoused (or homeless) neighbors to the government. The unhoused person would then face a warning to vacate, in addition to potential disciplinary action such as individual citations on the grounds of illegal camping, even though there are not enough approved spaces to which they can move (Hornbostel). Unfortunately, measures that have led to the criminalization of those without a roof over their heads have not been isolated incidents.

Unshielded: How The Police Can Become Touchable, Brandon Hasbrouck Jan 2024

Unshielded: How The Police Can Become Touchable, Brandon Hasbrouck

Scholarly Articles

This Review proceeds in three Parts. First, Part I examines Shielded’s text, highlighting Schwartz’s analysis of the problem of unaccountable police, the many barriers to holding police accountable, and her proposed solutions. Part II then critically examines Schwartz’s work, examining pieces of the problem she left undiscussed and the relative shortcomings of her discussion of possible solutions. Finally, Part III takes an abolitionist approach, delving into potential nonreformist reforms and the solution of full abolition, as well as examining the most significant objection to abolitionist approaches: the problem of violence.


Poverty And The Economic Impact Of People Of Color, Darin Roseberry Jan 2024

Poverty And The Economic Impact Of People Of Color, Darin Roseberry

Integrated Studies

This paper attempts to show and explain the effects of poverty on the lives of people of color (African Americans). The most fascinating aspect of this research is how it dates back to slavery many many years ago it still has become a generational curse to the African American families and communities. There is a way out with education, community support, and government-efficient programs that can help lead the way to a better economic future and outlook for African American people. Success comes from within and one must take pride in their own culture to put away the cultural norms …

The Experiences Of Formerly Incarcerated Black Male Students At A Northeast Community College, Ashtian C. Holmes Jan 2024

The Experiences Of Formerly Incarcerated Black Male Students At A Northeast Community College, Ashtian C. Holmes

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this phenomenological inquiry is to understand the experiences of formerly incarcerated Black male students who attend a Northeast urban community college and the unique barriers they encounter while navigating the institution. The United States imprisons more people than any country in the world, and Black men are disproportionately overrepresented in the United States criminal legal system. At the same time, Black men, are severely underrepresented in higher education and lag behind their White and female counterparts in nearly all indicators of collegiate success, including enrollment, retention, and graduation rates. Formerly incarcerated individuals face unique and substantial barriers …


From The Deceptive Delinquent To The Illusive Illicit Alien: A Qualitative Study Of 21st Century United States Border Security Law Enforcement’S Capabilities, Competencies, And Capacities Designed To Counter Transient Criminality Recruitment, Christopher C. Palme Jan 2024

From The Deceptive Delinquent To The Illusive Illicit Alien: A Qualitative Study Of 21st Century United States Border Security Law Enforcement’S Capabilities, Competencies, And Capacities Designed To Counter Transient Criminality Recruitment, Christopher C. Palme

Theses and Dissertations

The transient criminal enterprise progressively evolved through expansion of illicit trafficking pathways throughout the 21st century. Scholars and practitioners share roles and responsibilities in missed opportunities to combat transient criminality. The Intelligence Community’s intelligence process is deficient in timely production and dissemination of their products. Starting with the transient criminality recruitment process, a correlated lack of psychosocial training programs dedicated to countering the transient crime threat exists. This study is rooted in sociological theory. It addresses Homeland Security dilemmas through the theoretical lens of sociology of security (Bajc, 2013) and is enhanced by concepts from Social Identity (Tajfel, 1979), Social …


Broadcasting Bombs: Classifying Antecedent Behaviors And Strategizing Preventative Tactics In Lone-Actor Terrorists And Mass-Murderers, Julia Varvaro Jan 2024

Broadcasting Bombs: Classifying Antecedent Behaviors And Strategizing Preventative Tactics In Lone-Actor Terrorists And Mass-Murderers, Julia Varvaro

Theses and Dissertations

The modern notion of a socially isolated lone-wolf terrorist and public mass- murderer is challenged by analyzing those individuals’ pre-attack behaviors. Many of these behaviors can be explained with theories such as Social Identity, Social Network, and Social Movement Theory, which examine the changes in human behavior to understand motivations. Properly classifying certain behaviors in a radicalized individual could help identify potential risk factors indicating an impending attack, prompting better responses, and solutions to strategize tactics and policies in preventing terrorism. Using existing literature and theory as the basis, this dissertation will examine common broadcasting behaviors of individuals who have …


A Mixed Methods Analysis Of Hurricane Trends And Experts’ Perception Of Future Military Hurricane Readiness, Ralph E. Scott Jan 2024

A Mixed Methods Analysis Of Hurricane Trends And Experts’ Perception Of Future Military Hurricane Readiness, Ralph E. Scott

Theses and Dissertations

Guided by the four theories of disaster, two civil-military theories, and two communication theories, this mixed methods study was an investigation of whether hurricanes in the North Atlantic basin are increasing in frequency and whether Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) practitioners perceive the DoD is prepared to assist FEMA when the next major hurricane strikes. The DoD is a last resort with a unique and tremendous capability to support FEMA during hurricane response. To better understand hurricane trends and DoD’s hurricane response posture, this study was an analysis of 171 years of tropical cyclone data from the National Oceanic …


Social Workers: A Missing Piece Of The Puzzle To School Gun Violence Intervention, Richard L. Glover Jan 2024

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. …

Racism Detection In Tweets, Ndjeuha Gihane Jan 2024

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 Jan 2024

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 Jan 2024

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 …

Qualitative And Quantitative Analyses Of A Life Course Framework To Prevent Victimization Recurrence Among Traumatized Homeless Women, Alexandra Schloesser, David Alatorre

Undergraduate Review

The present study examines the effects of services on women that are rendered by a transitional homeless shelter, Ozanam Manor in Phoenix, Arizona. Specifically, the study aimed to ascertain whether these services have yielded discernible improvements in the circumstances of homeless women. Additionally, the study sought to determine whether certain subgroups of homeless women derive greater benefits from the services provided in comparison to others. The study employed a life-course theory to elucidate whether homeless women who have received assistance from the shelter have acquired the skills to effectively navigate and cope with adverse life circumstances, thereby mitigating the risk …
