Circumciser Type And The Type Of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting Prevalence For Girls Ages 0-14 Years In Ethiopia, Jean-Pierre Ramazani Abedi
Circumciser Type And The Type Of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting Prevalence For Girls Ages 0-14 Years In Ethiopia, Jean-Pierre Ramazani Abedi
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Despite ongoing eradication efforts, female genital mutilation and cutting (FGM/C) remains a major public health and human rights concern in Ethiopia. This quantitative study was conducted to examine how circumciser type (traditional cutter, birth attendant, or health professional) influences FGM/C prevalence and severity among girls ages 0–14, considering the moderating effects of residence and mothers’ FGM status, while controlling for age and income. Guided by the social ecological model and using 2016 E Ethiopian Demographic Health Surveys data, analysis indicates a significant association between circumciser type and FGM/C type (χ² (2, N = 1,553) = 6.86, p = .032), which …

The Regionalisation Of Blockchain Technology As Asean Cybersecurity Strategy Against Terrorist Financing Through Cryptocurrency, Sabda Ningsih, Syuryansyah Syuryansyah
The Regionalisation Of Blockchain Technology As Asean Cybersecurity Strategy Against Terrorist Financing Through Cryptocurrency, Sabda Ningsih, Syuryansyah Syuryansyah
Global: Jurnal Politik Internasional
Through this study, the authors question how the prospects for ASEAN regionalisation relate to the development of blockchain technology as a cybersecurity medium. Based on previous research, ASEAN is facing a problem of terrorism, which is difficult to handle over time. The finding further exacerbates the fact that transnational terrorist groups have begun to use virtual currency as one of their strategies for funding organisations. Meanwhile, Southeast Asia, according to results of several surveys, includes areas with high numbers of cryptocurrency users, making it a target for blockchain technology companies to establish main offices. Within the framework of ASEAN regionalism, …
Perceptions Of Juvenile Justice Professionals Regarding The Effectiveness Of Juvenile Reentry Programs And Recidivism In The Southwest Region, Lei Anne Johnson
Perceptions Of Juvenile Justice Professionals Regarding The Effectiveness Of Juvenile Reentry Programs And Recidivism In The Southwest Region, Lei Anne Johnson
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Juvenile recidivism persists in the U.S. justice system, highlighting the need for effective reentry programs. However, limited research exists on juvenile justice professionals’ perceptions of program success. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore these professionals’ perceptions regarding the effectiveness of juvenile reentry programs in reducing recidivism. Guided by Bandura’s social learning theory, the study examined how observation and modeling influence youth behavior during reentry. The research questions focused on professionals’ perceptions of program effectiveness and how these perceptions impact recidivism reduction efforts. A qualitative phenomenological design involved semi-structured interviews with 13 juvenile justice professionals in the southwest …

"Catching Up": Christian Walker's Critical Lens, Noam Parness
Theses and Dissertations
“Catching Up” examines three bodies of photographic work that artist, critic, and curator Christian Walker (1953-2003) generated between 1984-1991. By reading each series against a corresponding text, “Catching Up” furthers an understanding of how Walker’s works reconstruct experiences and histories of race and sexuality in the United States.

Risk And Public Judgments On Police Pursuits: A Nationally Representative Conjoint Experiment, Scott M. Mourtgos, Ian T. Adams, Kyle Mclean, Geoffrey P. Alpert
Faculty Publications
Police vehicle pursuits emphasize a central tension between law enforcement imperatives and public safety. While modern policies emphasize balancing apprehension needs against risks of continuation, little is known about whether public intuitions mirror this framework. We address this gap using a nationally representative conjoint experiment (N = 3,334) that varied eleven contextual factors across randomized pursuit scenarios. Respondents rated perceived risk, indicated whether pursuits should be terminated, and made forced-choice tradeoffs. Across all outcomes, high-risk situational factors (e.g., high speeds, adverse weather, heavy traffic, urban settings, etc.) increased perceived danger and termination support, while more serious underlying offenses, particularly …
The Long Run Effects Of A Teacher-Focused School Reform On Student Outcomes, Sarah R. Cohodes, Ozkan Eren, Orgul Ozturk
The Long Run Effects Of A Teacher-Focused School Reform On Student Outcomes, Sarah R. Cohodes, Ozkan Eren, Orgul Ozturk
Faculty Publications
This paper examines the effects of a teacher-focused school reform program — combining performance pay with teacher observation and feedback — implemented in high-need schools on students’ longer-run educational, criminal justice, and economic self-sufficiency outcomes. Using linked administrative data from a Southern state, we leverage the quasi-randomness of the timing of program adoption across schools to show that the school reform improved educational attainment and reduced both felony criminal activity before age 19 and dependence on government assistance in early adulthood (ages 18–22). We find little scope for student sorting or changes in the composition of teacher workforce to explain …

“I Have Already Lost My Kids”: Mothering Experiences Of Women In Jail, Bothwell Piason, Dawn Beichner-Thomas
“I Have Already Lost My Kids”: Mothering Experiences Of Women In Jail, Bothwell Piason, Dawn Beichner-Thomas
Faculty Publications - Criminal Justice Sciences
Although women represent a small proportion of the incarcerated population globally, their rate of incarceration in the United States has increased dramatically over the past four decades, outpacing that of men. As carceral trends return to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, jail populations continue to rise, with most incarcerated women being mothers of young children. Yet, research on motherhood behind bars has largely focused on prisons rather than jails. This study explores the mothering experiences of women incarcerated in two U.S. Midwestern jails, including both pretrial detainees and sentenced individuals. Using qualitative data from in-depth interviews with jailed mothers, the analysis examines …
Safety Valves In Charter Analysis:A Quick Fix Rather Than A Structural Solution, Jamie Chai Yun Liew
Safety Valves In Charter Analysis:A Quick Fix Rather Than A Structural Solution, Jamie Chai Yun Liew
The Supreme Court Law Review, Third Series: Osgoode's Annual Constitutional Cases Conference
A safety valve is a flap, lid or device that acts as a fail-safe. For those unfortunate to have experienced backflow into your home, a safety valve installed in a sewer line permits wastewater to exit while blocking unwanted backflow. It is a reliable and indispensable tool in this context. The legal world has adopted this term in constitutional analyses. This paper examines whether legal safety valves do provide relief. First, the paper provides an overview of how safety valves have been installed in the Supreme Court of Canada’s legal analyses. Then the paper provides a sober discussion of how …
A New Justification For Section 12 Hypotheticals Andtwo Rules For Constructing Them, Lisa Kerr, Michael Perlin
A New Justification For Section 12 Hypotheticals Andtwo Rules For Constructing Them, Lisa Kerr, Michael Perlin
The Supreme Court Law Review, Third Series: Osgoode's Annual Constitutional Cases Conference
The use of the reasonable hypothetical device in the section 12 context has been a source of unceasing controversy. The Supreme Court has tried to lay the debate to rest; but we argue that there are convincing and practical reasons for the use of hypotheticals which the Court could do more to explain, as a way to persuade skeptics. These reasons are tied to the realities of the criminal justice system and how mandatory penalties can shape penal outcomes in covert ways, apart from, and in addition to, delivering cruel and unusual punishment to individuals. Along with articulating this new …
Prescribing Plenary Powers:The Evolution And Intersection Of Criminal Andhealth Jurisdiction In Canadian Federalism, Benjamin Perryman
Prescribing Plenary Powers:The Evolution And Intersection Of Criminal Andhealth Jurisdiction In Canadian Federalism, Benjamin Perryman
The Supreme Court Law Review, Third Series: Osgoode's Annual Constitutional Cases Conference
Using the Supreme Court of Canada’s recent decision in Murray-Hall v. Québec (Attorney General) as a focal point, this paper tracks the evolution and intersection of the federal criminal law power and the provincial health law power in Canadian federalism cases. Part II of the paper examines existing methods used to prescribe plenary powers, including interpretative narrowing (formalism), expansion of concurrent federalism (double aspect), and purpose review (colourability). The paper shows that the Supreme Court of Canada has applied these prescriptions to the federal criminal law power but rarely to the provincial health law power. Part III looks around the …
The Legality Of Incorporating Provincial Law Into A Criminal Offence, Colton Fehr
The Legality Of Incorporating Provincial Law Into A Criminal Offence, Colton Fehr
The Supreme Court Law Review, Third Series: Osgoode's Annual Constitutional Cases Conference
The drafters of the 1867 Constitution Act were unmoved by the argument that the substantive criminal law ought to be crafted by each individual province as a means to preserve regional values. They instead assigned the criminal law power to the federal government to better promote legal stability and clarity when the state attempts to deprive a citizen of their liberty. A recently rejuvenated practice of incorporating provincial offences within the definition of criminal offences unfortunately ignores the rationale underlying this division of authority. Identifying this inconsistency would have proven useful in Murray-Hall v. Québec (Attorney General) as a more …

Understanding Public Support For Courts In Canada, Erin Crandall, Andrea Lawlor
The Supreme Court Law Review, Third Series: Osgoode's Annual Constitutional Cases Conference
Do Canadian citizens support their courts, and what factors influence that support? While it is well recognized that public confidence in the judicial branch is crucial for its effective functioning, how to measure and analyze this confidence is debated. This article explores how social scientists conceptualize and study trust and perceptions of legitimacy in courts. Using data from the Canada Election Studies spanning 2008 to 2021 and an original survey conducted in 2023, this article provides an overview of the current state of trust in Canadian courts, the known correlates of confidence, and recommendations for maintaining public support. We find …
Symbolic Reform Or Substantive Change? The Effect Of Body-Worn Camera Implementation On Lethal Use-Of-Force In Missouri, Sophia A. Tuncer
Symbolic Reform Or Substantive Change? The Effect Of Body-Worn Camera Implementation On Lethal Use-Of-Force In Missouri, Sophia A. Tuncer
CMC Senior Theses
This thesis investigates whether body-worn cameras reduce lethal use-of-force among police departments in Missouri. Aggregating data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics and Mapping Police Violence, I create a panel of 188 cities in Missouri, with and without body-worn camera adoption. The OLS and Poisson regression results show that body-worn cameras do not have a significant effect on lethal use-of-force in the short run, but that the technology does significantly lower lethal use-of-force in the medium run.
Twelve Mechanisms Of Radicalization To Terrorism, Sophia Moskalenko, Clark Mccauley
Twelve Mechanisms Of Radicalization To Terrorism, Sophia Moskalenko, Clark Mccauley
Psychology Faculty Research and Scholarship
Radicalization refers to changes in beliefs, feelings, and actions toward increased support for one side of an intergroup conflict. The extreme of action radicalization is political violence and terrorism. Twelve psychological mechanisms driving participation in political violence are identified. At the individual level, motivation to engage in political violence can be based on personal grievance, political grievance, “slippery slope” participation in illegal political activity, love for already-radicalized friends and relatives, and social disconnection (”unfreezing”) that opens an individual to new ideas and new comrades. At the group level, participation in political violence can emerge from extremity shift of like-minded group …

"Junk Science" Or Admissible? The Role Of Psychological Profiling In Serial Homicide Trials, Alice Gnesin
"Junk Science" Or Admissible? The Role Of Psychological Profiling In Serial Homicide Trials, Alice Gnesin
Florida Atlantic University Undergraduate Law Journal
In many homicide trials, juries have to consider more than just forensic and testimonial evidence. Sometimes, a perpetrator’s actions can appear illogical or unexplainable, and in this case, juries have to examine and consider the mental state, possible motivations, and behavioral patterns of the perpetrator. Psychological profiling, also known as behavioral analysis, has been used in criminal investigations for years. But even after all these years, many still question its legitimacy. This article examines the effectiveness of behavioral analysis when used as expert testimony in serial homicide cases through the evidentiary standards under Frye v. United States, Daubert v. Merrell …
Restoring Justice: Evaluating The First Step Act's Legal Framework For Rehabilitation And Recidivism Reduction, Bryana Hamilton
Restoring Justice: Evaluating The First Step Act's Legal Framework For Rehabilitation And Recidivism Reduction, Bryana Hamilton
Florida Atlantic University Undergraduate Law Journal
The First Step Act of 2018 represents a significant congressional effort to steer the federal criminal justice system towards rehabilitation and recidivism reduction. By requiring evidence-based programming and incentivizing inmates’ participation in rehabilitative programs, Congress aimed to integrate restorative justice principles into federal incarceration and inmate reentry policy. While this act was intended to promote rehabilitative justice, implementation by the Bureau of Prisons remains inconsistent, resulting in many of the Act’s rehabilitative goals being unachieved. This paper examines the legislative intent, fundamental construction, and judicial interpretation of the First Step Act to assess whether the Act effectively creates enforceable rehabilitative …
Trampled Grasslands: The Development Of Human Trafficking Laws In Mongolia, Franco A. Loyola
Trampled Grasslands: The Development Of Human Trafficking Laws In Mongolia, Franco A. Loyola
Florida Atlantic University Undergraduate Law Journal
Changes in Mongolia’s constitutions and criminal codes during the democratic transition in the 1990s not only shaped the nation’s vulnerability to the fourth wave of human trafficking but also produced a legal trajectory that distinguishes Mongolia from its post-Soviet neighbors. The nation is unique as their legal history with anti-trafficking laws dates to the 15th century under the Qing Dynasty. Since independence from Qing rule, provisions against certain elements of human trafficking were preserved in Mongolia’s legal codes up to the modern democratic era; the strongest provisions being found within the old Soviet constitutions. However, upon the collapse of the …
