A Qualitative Study Of Urban Male Perception And Definition Of Respect For Law Enforcement Officers, Kyla Duckworth Lurry
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Among African American males, deaths are alarmingly high for reasons that cannot be completely pinpointed.

In a dramaturgical model, social interaction is analyzed as an actor’s performance on stage. This study employed a qualitative design so that the research questions could be answered. Based on the findings of …

On Blasphemy: Immigrant Muslim Leaders In America, Angela Ewing
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Using policy feedback theory as the foundation, the purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand the experiences of Muslim immigrants who practice Islam in a free speech society. Data were collected from a sample of 10 immigrant Muslim imams, scholars, and community leaders in Virginia …

Defining The Scope Of Practice For Nurse Practitioners In Miam, Samantha Lucero
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

This project sought to answer the question: What is the scope of practice of the nurse practitioner in MIAM in the state of California? The model of professional nursing practice regulation was the …

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Currently, Title II of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT Act) Act of 2001 appears to be stalled as a result of controversy over the intent and meaning of the law. Proponents of the title advocate the necessity of the act to combat modern terrorism, whereas opponents warn of circumventions of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Using punctuated equilibrium as the theoretical foundation, the purpose of this case study was to explore the dialogue and legal exchanges between the American Civil Liberties Union and the Department of …

A tiered coding method was used to generate 6 interconnected themes that tell the story of these men's lives: …
Public Humiliation As A Mitigator In Criminal Sentencing, Barbara Benoliel
Public Humiliation As A Mitigator In Criminal Sentencing, Barbara Benoliel
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
This study examined the relationship between the public humiliation and shaming of offenders in the sentencing portion of a criminal trial and the subsequent severity of the sentence the offender receives. Judicial moral shaming of offenders is returning to popularity in the courts, influencing the final sentence outcome as an under-identified mitigator, that substitutes for judges’ other punitive sanctions. Support for this shaming is found in Heider’s attribution theory and in Homans’ theory of social exchange; however Braithwaite found this form of shaming is overly punitive and ineffective. This four phase study used a sequential, mixed method, exploratory research design. …
