Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
A serial murder, is “the unlawful homicide of at least two people carried out by the same person (or persons) in separate events occurring at different times” (Briannica.com). A serial killer is an individual who carries out a serial murder. The thought process of a serial killer is miraculously different than that of an average person. Due to this, there is a difference in the brain activity between the two. This is important because research shows that an average person doesn’t think the same as a serial killer does. The serial killer’s brain has a decreased connectivity between the brain …

Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
A lot is known about prison systems around the world, especially in bigger countries. However, not much is publicly known about the inner workings of the prisons themselves. These differences range from their incarceration rates, their environments, and their health care. This research will explore those striking differences between the Kriminalsomsorgen, Norway’s correctional facility, and the United States penal system. Both of these systems have very different approaches to justice seeing as how one emphasizes retribution while the other emphasizes rehabilitation. Each section of this research will go on to discuss how the United States is severely lacking in these …

Mental illness during the adolescent years comes with its own struggles and battles. Not only the social and emotional aspects of it, but also neurological and developmental effects.

Problems In The Healthcare System, Julie Suarez
Problems In The Healthcare System, Julie Suarez
Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
The healthcare system in the United States is the most prevalent and underemphasized issue in the country. It is not a single entity but rather a collection of people, institutions, and resources that provide health care services. As there are health disparities throughout the USA, navigation in the healthcare system becomes increasingly more difficult, and calls into question of the health literacy of the average American. Even as complex as this topic may seem, every citizen and individual should be aware that negotiation is always on the table and is a given right under a democratic republic. As such, a …
Why We Should Defund The Police, Shelby A. Sanchez
Why We Should Defund The Police, Shelby A. Sanchez
Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
Ninety-nine percent of the police departments budget throughout the country increases every year into the billions. More money is spent on keeping the “peace” than investing in young students to assure they have a bright future, avoid violence and in return, bring true peace to all communities. Police departments and even some of the population have been conditioned into believing that minority communities are naturally violent, inherently bad and need to be policed heavily. Instead, minority communities need resources and tools to break the cycle of poverty and crime. Defunding the police is a controversial topic and dangerous to bring …

How Does The Foster System Connect To Juvenile Delinquency?, Mairan Rodriguez
Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
Juvenile maltreatment in homes is a large factor in today’s incarcerated youth. Victims of child abuse and neglect are predominant in the foster care system. This issue has grown to where “1/4 of foster care alumni will become involved with the criminal justice system within two years of leaving care.” (Anspach, 2018). These children who experience certain maltreatment while in foster care are at an increased risk of engaging in delinquent behavior. They often move out of the welfare system into the criminal justice system.

Depersonalization Derealization Disorder and its accompanying symptoms affect a teenager’s life. DDD is a mental disorder that affects a diagnosed individual perspective of themselves and of the world around them, making it seem distant or dream-like.

In a national sample of adolescents, those who were physically and sexually abused, or witnessed violence had increased risk for current substance use disorders and PTSD .” (C. Zlotnick te al./ Comprehensive Psychiatry 49, (2008), p.163). Through research it is evident that trauma affects children's cognitive growth into adulthood.

Transforming Educators' Social Emotional Learning (Sel): A Mixed-Methods Study Exploring The Impact Of A Trauma-Informed Sel Intervention To Mitigate Educator Implicit Bias, Kemen Holley
Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership (Ed.D.)
While research has indicated that social emotional learning (SEL) approaches promote essential, long-lasting individual and collective development for students, the literature indicates a lack of evidence that educators are implementing SEL approaches to affirm the assets, lived experiences, and identities of students, particularly those belonging to minoritized groups. This Improvement Science Dissertation in Practice (ISDiP) employed a mixed-methods pragmatic, researchintervention process model that utilized a community-based action research approach to evaluate a trauma-informed SEL professional learning (PL) intervention as a viable practice to mitigate high school educators’ implicit biases. Through an anti-racist, anti-oppression framework, this study sought to determine the …

The Language Of Power: An Investigation Of How The Macropolitics Of Education Policy Affects The Micropolitics Of Schooling English Learners, Catherine E. Vannatter
Theses and Dissertations--Education Sciences
The population of English Learners (ELs) continues to increase across the United States, and these students persistently perform below their native English-speaking peers in measures of academic achievement. Federal government leaders passed the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) in 2015, which modified how state and local educational agencies identify, instruct, assess, and reclassify ELs and revised what funding EL programming could receive. In this multiphase study, I investigated how the macropolitics of federal and state policy became enacted in the micropolitics of a mid-sized school district in Kentucky. Through an initial phase of document review followed by a mixed methods …
