Addiction And Liberty, Matthew B. Lawrence
Addiction And Liberty, Matthew B. Lawrence
Faculty Articles
This Article explores the interaction between addiction and liberty and identifies a firm legal basis for recognition of a fundamental constitutional right to freedom from addiction. Government interferes with freedom from addiction when it causes addiction or restricts addiction treatment, and government may protect freedom from addiction through legislation empowering individuals against private actors’ efforts to addict them without their consent. This Article motivates and tests the boundaries of this right through case studies of emergent threats to liberty made possible or exacerbated by new technologies and scientific understandings. These include certain state lottery programs, addiction treatment restrictions, and smartphone …
Fostering Inclusivity And Resilience: Challenges To Community-Based Empowerment For Trans Elders In Roanoke, Virginia, Summer Skye Allison
Fostering Inclusivity And Resilience: Challenges To Community-Based Empowerment For Trans Elders In Roanoke, Virginia, Summer Skye Allison
Undergraduate Honors Theses
As popular media disseminates harmful “culture war” rhetoric regarding trans folk it has become increasingly necessary to amplify their voices to give them power over how they are perceived by society. Though political discourse regarding trans children has become a hot-button topic, this paper seeks to explore the overlooked experiences of trans elders as they contend with intersecting instances of ageism and transphobia from individuals and institutions in Roanoke, Virginia. Since community-based organizations like the Roanoke Diversity Center and Ladies and Gents of the Blue Ridge have been instrumental to strengthening the LGBTQ+ community in Roanoke, this research focuses on …

องค์การการค้าโลกกับบทบาทในการคุ้มครองสิ่งแวดล้อม, วิลาสินี วดีศิริศักดิ์, นิศาชล พรหมรินทร์
Journal of Social Sciences
การวิจัยนี้เป็นการวิจัยเชิงคุณภาพ มีจุดประสงค์เพื่อศึกษา 1. มาตรการด้านสิ่งแวดล้อมขององค์การการค้าโลกในการพิทักษ์รักษาและอนุรักษ์สิ่งแวดล้อม 2. ผลกระทบของมาตรการด้านสิ่งแวดล้อมขององค์การการค้าโลกต่อการค้าระหว่างประเทศ และ 3. ความสำเร็จของการบูรณาการการค้าระหว่างประเทศและการคุ้มครองสิ่งแวดล้อมขององค์การการค้าโลก ผลการศึกษาพบว่า 1. มาตรการที่ถูกสร้างขึ้นภายใต้องค์การการค้าโลกเพื่อพิทักษ์รักษาและอนุรักษ์สิ่งแวดล้อมประกอบด้วย กลไกคณะกรรมาธิการด้านการค้าและสิ่งแวดล้อม กลไกองค์กรระงับข้อพิพาท และกลไกข้อตกลงที่เกี่ยวข้องกับเรื่องสิ่งแวดล้อมหลายฉบับ 2. คณะกรรมาธิการด้านการค้าและสิ่งแวดล้อมเป็นเพียงเวทีในการแลกเปลี่ยนความคิดเห็นและประสบการณ์ของประเทศสมาชิกที่มีต่อประเด็นด้านการค้าและสิ่งแวดล้อมเท่านั้น ส่วนแนวทางการตัดสินคดีสิ่งแวดล้อมขององค์กรระงับข้อพิพาททำให้ประเทศสมาชิกโดยเฉพาะกลุ่มประเทศพัฒนาแล้วได้มีการออกมาตรการการค้าเพื่ออนุรักษ์สิ่งแวดล้อมได้อย่างชอบธรรมซึ่งส่งผลกระทบต่อประเทศผู้ส่งออก ในขณะที่ข้อตกลงที่เกี่ยวข้องกับเรื่องสิ่งแวดล้อมต่าง ๆ ส่งผลทำให้ประเทศที่พัฒนาแล้วใช้มาตรการเหล่านี้เป็นเครื่องมือเพื่อกีดกันทางการค้า และ 3. องค์การการค้าโลกยังไม่ประสบความสำเร็จในการบรรลุเป้าหมายตามที่ได้ตั้งเป้าหมายไว้ในธรรมนูญ คือ การบูรณาการการค้าระหว่างประเทศและการคุ้มครองสิ่งแวดล้อมไว้ด้วยกัน แต่ในขณะเดียวกันมิได้ถือว่าล้มเหลว เพราะแม้มาตรการที่เกี่ยวข้องกับสิ่งแวดล้อมเหล่านั้นขององค์การการค้าโลกจะถูกพิจารณาว่าไม่มีประสิทธิภาพ แต่การมีมาตรการและมีการดำเนินงานที่เกี่ยวข้องสะท้อนให้เห็นถึงข้อเท็จจริงว่าองค์การการค้าโลกได้มีการดำเนินการอย่างเป็นรูปธรรมเพื่อที่พยายามที่จะบรรลุวัตถุประสงค์ดังกล่าว

Journal of Social Sciences
การรับนักเรียนเข้าเรียนถือเป็นกิจกรรมที่เกี่ยวข้องกับปัญหาความเหลื่อมล้ำทางการศึกษาโดยตรง เพราะความเหลื่อมล้ำทางการศึกษาเป็นผลลัพธ์ของกระบวนการจัดสรรบริการด้านการศึกษาที่ไม่เป็นธรรม งานวิจัยชิ้นนี้ตั้งคำถามต่อนโยบายการจัดสรรที่นั่งเรียนในหน่วยบริการการศึกษาของรัฐไทยในระดับมัธยมศึกษา โดยมุ่งศึกษาว่าตัวแบบนโยบาย (Policy design) ของนโยบายการรับนักเรียนเข้าเรียนในสถานศึกษาสังกัดสำนักงานคณะกรรมการการศึกษาขั้นพื้นฐาน (สพฐ.) มีการประกอบสร้างภาพลักษณ์ของโรงเรียนและนักเรียนไว้อย่างไร? และการประกอบสร้างดังกล่าวมีส่วนช่วยบรรเทาหรือซ้ำเติมความเหลื่อมล้ำด้านการศึกษาอย่างไร? ผู้วิจัยใช้วิธีการวิเคราะห์นโยบายเชิงตีความ (Interpretive Policy Analysis) การวิเคราะห์กรอบการจำแนกแยกแยะ (Category Analysis) และใช้กรอบแนวคิดการประกอบสร้างกลุ่มเป้าหมายของนโยบาย (Social construction of target population) ของ Schneider and Ingram ที่มองว่า “ภาพลักษณ์” ของกลุ่มเป้าหมายของนโยบาย (ในที่นี้คือโรงเรียน) มีอิทธิพลต่อการออกแบบนโยบาย ซึ่งสุดท้ายจะมีผลตอกย้ำความไม่เป็นธรรมที่มีมาแต่เดิมในสังคม งานวิจัยพบว่า เนื้อหาของนโยบายการรับนักเรียนเข้าเรียนของสพฐ. มีการประกอบสร้างภาพลักษณ์ของโรงเรียนบนมโนทัศน์ของหลักกลไกตลาด ที่แยกแยะ “โรงเรียนอัตราแข่งขันสูง” ออกจาก “โรงเรียนทั่วไป” และสร้างแนวปฏิบัติที่เป็นการผลิตซ้ำภาพลักษณ์ทางสังคมที่มีมาก่อนของโรงเรียนทั้งสองประเภท กล่าวคือ ภาพลักษณ์ของโรงเรียนอัตราแข่งขันสูงถูกประกอบสร้างให้เป็นผู้ให้บริการการศึกษาของรัฐคุณภาพสูง ส่วนภาพลักษณ์ของโรงเรียนทั่วไปถูกประกอบสร้างให้เป็นผู้ให้บริการการศึกษาของรัฐคุณภาพต่ำ ในกระบวนการสร้างภาพลักษณ์ดังกล่าว นโยบายมีการจัดสรรภาระให้แก่โรงเรียนประเภททั่วไปที่สูงกว่าโรงเรียนประเภทอัตราแข่งขันสูงอย่างไม่สมเหตุสมผล เช่น โรงเรียนประเภทอัตราแข่งขันสูงมีสิทธิ์ในการคัดกรองผู้เรียนที่มีศักยภาพทางวิชาการ “สูง” ไปก่อนโรงเรียนประเภททั่วไป ในทางกลับกัน โรงเรียนประเภททั่วไปต้องรับภาระการจัดสรรสวัสดิการขั้นพื้นฐานและภาระในการพัฒนาผู้เรียนที่มีศักยภาพแตกต่างหลากหลาย

Misogynistic Extremism: A Scoping Review, Robin O'Hanlon, Frederick L. Altice, Roy Ka-Wei Lee, Jack Laviolette, Gloria Mark, Orestis Papakyriakopoulos, Koustuv Saha, Munmun De Choudhury, Navin Kumar
Publications and Research
In recent years, the concept of “misogynistic extremism” has emerged as a subject of interest among scholars, governments, law enforcement personnel, and the media. Yet a consistent understanding of how misogynistic extremism is defined and conceptualized has not yet emerged. Varying epistemological orientations may contribute to the current conceptual muddle of this topic, reflecting long-standing and on-going challenges with the conceptualization of its individual components. To address the potential impact of misogynistic extremism (i.e., violent attacks), a more precise understanding of what this phenomenon entails is needed. To summarize the existing knowledge base on the nature of misogynistic extremism, this …
Building Strength Versus Getting Lean: An Analysis Of The Gendered Nature Of Fitness In Crossfit, Barre, And Personal Training, Margaret M. Jones
Building Strength Versus Getting Lean: An Analysis Of The Gendered Nature Of Fitness In Crossfit, Barre, And Personal Training, Margaret M. Jones
Master's Theses
Like many industries in contemporary society, the fitness sector is heavily gendered, andthus needs to be examined as a sector that both creates and reinforces gendered bodies. Building on previous single-method studies, I utilized a multi-methods approach of ethnography and interviews to analyze organizational and individual experiences with gender and fitness. Using West and Zimmerman’s concept of “doing gender,” I analyzed fitness organizations as a setting where gender and inequality are actively reproduced. By analyzing three fitness organizations with different gendered audiences (a barre studio, a CrossFit gym, and a personal training facility) I looked at how gender and fitness …
Piney Point Cascading Disaster And Environmental Conflict: An Explanatory Case Study, Ketti Davison
Piney Point Cascading Disaster And Environmental Conflict: An Explanatory Case Study, Ketti Davison
Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this explanatory case study is to understand the sense that community members made of how and why environmental conflict manifested in the wake of the Piney Point cascading disaster. It found that intentional avoidance of local news caused community members to be unaware of the risks beforehand, of the responses in the aftermath, and of the threats that remain. The study leverages a unique opportunity to fill a gap in the research by examining a contemporary cascading disaster as it generated environmental conflict. This dissertation centers on the perceptions of directly affected community members in the Tampa …
A Confluence Of Identity, Skepticism, And Acculturation: A Grounded Theory Study On Voter Engagement Among Registered Latin American Immigrant Voters, Oscar De Tuya
Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations
One of the most important characteristics of a democracy is the ability of its citizens to directly elect many of their government representatives. Unfortunately, since only citizens are traditionally eligible to vote in the United States, the group of voters that ultimately influences government is smaller than the overall population. That excludes immigrants from full participation in government and contributes to conflict, which can be analyzed through various theoretical lenses, such as structural violence, basic human needs theory, and social cohesion. These realities underscore the importance of elections and of ensuring that an engaged and informed electorate is active in …
The Challenges And Transformative Experiences Of Promoting Nonkilling With Anti-Nuclear Weapon Activists And Realists, Roland Joseph
The Challenges And Transformative Experiences Of Promoting Nonkilling With Anti-Nuclear Weapon Activists And Realists, Roland Joseph
Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations
Decades ago, Glenn D. Paige questioned killing and violence in politics, presenting nonkilling political science as an alternative. Activists and researchers from other disciplines have joined the movement by considering this new paradigm in their disciplines. Since then, some scholars analyzed the experience of activists promoting notions related to nonkilling, including peace and nonviolence. However, no previous research focuses specifically on the experience of scholars promoting nonkilling to anti-nuclear weapon activists and realists. To fill this gap and give voice to nonkilling and nuclear weapon risks, a qualitative phenomenological study using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was conducted to answer the …
The Decline Of Union Membership And The Resulting Conflicts, Cynthia Cushman
The Decline Of Union Membership And The Resulting Conflicts, Cynthia Cushman
Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine how private-sector union members and union leaders viewed the changes in organized labor in the United States over the past ten years. This study explored the impact of union membership decline in the United States labor force through the perceptions of union members and union leaders. There were four macro-level factors examined in this study: a move in dominant occupations from manufacturing to service-orientated work; changes in federal and state regulation; the ability, flexibility, and success of union leadership; and the aggressive counter-union moves of business management. This study was constructed …
Cause For Complaint: A Case Study Exploring Office For Civil Rights Complaints And Resolutions Related To Digital Accessibility At Public Colleges And Universities, Helen Gema Muñiz Bermudez
Cause For Complaint: A Case Study Exploring Office For Civil Rights Complaints And Resolutions Related To Digital Accessibility At Public Colleges And Universities, Helen Gema Muñiz Bermudez
Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations
As the number of students with disabilities pursuing postsecondary opportunities continues to grow, along with an increase in digital educational content and technology, the issue of digital accessibility becomes increasingly urgent - both as a matter of equity and access for disabled students and as a matter of social and fiscal responsibility for postsecondary institutions. When postsecondary institutions fail to meet the requirements of disability legislation, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is the federal entity responsible for enforcement and complaint investigations, handling hundreds of complaints related to digital accessibility at postsecondary institutions since 2013. There …
Strength In Numbers: An Exploratory Case Study On The Impact Of Conflict In Multi-Institutional Higher Education Collaborations, Michele Robyn Dinicola
Strength In Numbers: An Exploratory Case Study On The Impact Of Conflict In Multi-Institutional Higher Education Collaborations, Michele Robyn Dinicola
Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations
The higher education landscape is changing. Students seeking access to college are increasinglydiverse, geographically dispersed, socioeconomically challenged, and will require higher education administrators to closely examine their models to ensure they are well-suited to serve the needs of these students. Responding to these shifts will require higher education administrators to shed traditional approaches in favor of innovative, cost-effective, flexible models of education delivery. Many institutions address this challenge through a reliance on higher education consortia and collaborations. In Maryland, one approach to collaboration takes the form of multi-institutional Regional Higher Education Centers (RHEC) like the largest of them, the Universities …
The Digital Footprint Effect: A Grounded Theory On The Influence Of Social Media On Human Resource Managers’ Hiring Decisions, Tanya Pawlowski
The Digital Footprint Effect: A Grounded Theory On The Influence Of Social Media On Human Resource Managers’ Hiring Decisions, Tanya Pawlowski
Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations
For over a decade, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) has reported the increasing practice of hiring managers accessing social media profiles to screen job applicants (Bates, 2008). This qualitative research study investigated the role of social media in organizational hiring practices and what factors may influence human resource hiring managers’ decisions. A grounded theory methodology was applied to interview 21 human resource hiring managers with open-ended structured questions. Based on the researcher’s data collection and grounded theory data analysis, the findings showed that social media profiles play a crucial role in organizational hiring decisions when a human resource …
Learning From The Lived Experiences Of African American Senior Executives In Fortune 500 Organizations: A Transcendental Phenomenological Study Of Black Corporate Trailblazers, Otis G. Jarvis
Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations
African American Senior Executives (AASE) exist as a group of American citizens who hold senior management roles in Fortune 500 organizations. AASE members are responsible for decision-making in a diverse number of industries but represent a small group of leaders in Fortune 500 organizations. The purpose of this qualitative transcendental phenomenological study was to examine the lived experiences of AASE in a Fortune 500 organization in the United States. The qualitative study examined through semi-structured interviews the experiences of eleven senior executives in Fortune 500 organizations in the United States. This phenomenological study examined how the lived experience of each …

Reading Group As Method For Feminist Environmental Humanities, James Gardiner, Hayley Singer, Jennifer Hamilton, Astrida Neimanis, Mindy Blaise
Research outputs 2022 to 2026
This article argues that reading groups are a collective field building and research method in Feminist Environmental Humanities, an interdisciplinary scholarly area at the intersections of feminist social justice and environmental concerns. We begin by historicising three Australian Feminist Environmental reading groups (COMPOSTING Feminisms, Eco Feminist Fridays, The Ediths) within a longer feminist tradition, then demonstrate how they respond to declining research funding in the neoliberal university and accelerating ecological crisis. Drawing on survey data, we first thematically code and analyse the results to categorise the groups’ functions and impacts. Departing from more traditional data analysis, we then develop a …
Surviving Child Sexual Abuse In Women's Artistic Gymnastics: ‘It's Beautiful, Because Had I Stayed In The Past, I Wouldn’T Have Evolved As A Person’, Natalie Barker-Ruchti, Valeria Varea
Surviving Child Sexual Abuse In Women's Artistic Gymnastics: ‘It's Beautiful, Because Had I Stayed In The Past, I Wouldn’T Have Evolved As A Person’, Natalie Barker-Ruchti, Valeria Varea
Research outputs 2022 to 2026
The USA Gymnastics sex abuse scandal raised global awareness about child sexual abuse (CSA) in women's artistic gymnastics. The ensuing media coverage also centre-staged victims’ survivorship stories, a process that for many moved from dissociating, recognising and disclosing CSA to feeling comfort when connecting with survivors and accepting CSA as part of their life history. However, scholarship on what survivorship from CSA in sport entails, and importantly, what it means to athletes, is limited. In this article, we frame the survival of CSA using Arthur Frank’s socio-narratological conceptualisation of people being able to process the devastating consequences of a life-threatening …

This study examined college students’ perspectives about contraception and abortion in the context of the United States Supreme Court’s decision to eliminate the constitutional right to abortion in June 2022. Individual, semi-structured interviews were conducted between October 2022 and February 2023 with a convenience sample of 20 college students, ages 18–22, attending a public university in the southeastern United States. Qualitative data analysis revealed three main themes. First, most participants conveyed fear, dismay, and anger about the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization to overturn Roe v. Wade and a few expressed concerns about potential restrictions on contraception. …

Disruption, Dissent, And Dialogue: Ypar As A Pedagogical And Institutional Tool, Charlene E. Holkenbrink-Monk
CGU Theses & Dissertations
Education reform has been at the forefront of educational research for decades, depicted by government initiatives and policy, research, and pedagogical changes and recommendations. When considering elements of educational change, policy, best practices, and individual merit and retention have also been heavily in the spotlight, such as A Nation at Risk, No Child Left Behind , and other policies that have been put forward. What is often left out is student voice, both within policy as well as ideas around what should be changed. Based on my pilot study, I found that students also did not feel adequately represented in …
Warehouses In The Inland Empire: Displacing Land And Life, Katherine Gelsey
Warehouses In The Inland Empire: Displacing Land And Life, Katherine Gelsey
Pomona Senior Theses
The Inland Empire in Southern California embodies unique spatial and social configurations as a consequence of how settler colonialism has manifested locally in the region since the Spanish Mission Period. This work uses GIS software to estimate patterns of land conversion for residential, agricultural, and warehouse land from 2012 to 2022. Preliminary analysis suggests that thousands of people have been displaced by warehouse expansion over the ten-year period. In the twenty-first century, the Southern California logistics industry continues processes of land dispossession and racialized labor exploitation through displacing agricultural and residential land, exposing disproportionately low-income Black and Latine communities living …
Tools For Collective Thought: Augmenting Collaborative Sensemaking, Jacob Zimmerman
Tools For Collective Thought: Augmenting Collaborative Sensemaking, Jacob Zimmerman
Pomona Senior Theses
As some pioneers of personal computing argue, we have yet to reach the potential that computing offers to enhance our cognition. Some modern scholars of tools for thought give a prerogative to develop transformative tools for thought (Matuschak & Nielsen, 2019), recognizing that the tools we may use enable new thought patterns and thus new cognitive abilities. As cognition is mediated both by our tools and by the minds of others, I evaluate the current state of literature on tools built to support collaborative sensemaking, a domain of collective cognition characterized by various interdependent cognitive processes. To apply and test …
Health Behavior And Outlooks In An Altered Microbial Diversity: Changes In Parental Attitudes On ‘Building Immunity’ Throughout The Covid-19 Pandemic, Jennifer Vidal
Pitzer Senior Theses
The Covid-19 Pandemic in a short amount of time put into action disease control measures. Current literature has sought to address the long-term effects of sanitization efforts and social isolation on the diversity of the microbiome and the future of infectious diseases. Microbes – microorganisms such as bacteria, protozoa, algae, fungi, and viruses – inhabit the natural environment and human microbiome with our immune system, playing an essential role in immune regulation. The interplay between humans and microbes forms early immune development that has impacted parents’ attitudes toward microbes shown through their participation in Covid-19 preventative health practices. Using the …

“If It Ain’T One Thing, It’S Another”: Black Lgbtq Students And Their Experiences With School Discipline And Punishment, Quentin Jenkins
Pitzer Senior Theses
School officials have disproportionately applied disciplinary policies and exclusionary practices to Black and LGBTQ youth, causing those students to be negatively sanctioned. Characterized by instruments of surveillance, metal detectors, and the presence of law enforcement, schools in the United States have significantly exacerbated the negative experiences these children have within educational spaces. Schools foster “prison-like” environments and subject Black LGBTQ youth to hyper-surveillance, thus increasing their likelihood of coming in contact with the juvenile justice system. Grounded in BlackCrit and Quare theory, this paper analyzes how the coupled intersecting identities of Blackness and Queerness lead Black LGBTQ youth to have …
Speciesism In Childhood: An Exploration Of Children's Attitudes Toward Nonhuman Animals, Hannah C. Knotts
Speciesism In Childhood: An Exploration Of Children's Attitudes Toward Nonhuman Animals, Hannah C. Knotts
Honors Undergraduate Theses
Humans objectify or designate certain animals to specific roles. These roles are often learned in childhood and followed into adulthood. Though there is more literature on the nonhuman animal industries nowadays than ever, there are still gaps in knowledge and work to be done concerning childhood speciesism. This qualitative study aims to reveal how childhood perspectives toward nonhuman animals are established. The study's findings indicate speciesism may develop in early age children due to parental and environmental influences. Parents were found to influence speciesism in children through teaching the distinct roles animals play in our society. As adults, parents were …
Analyzing Help-Seeking Behaviors And Barriers Among Hispanic Survivors Of Intimate Partner Violence, Emely Mejia
Analyzing Help-Seeking Behaviors And Barriers Among Hispanic Survivors Of Intimate Partner Violence, Emely Mejia
Honors Undergraduate Theses
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is experienced by millions of women in the U.S. every year. As the population of Hispanic women continues to grow, there is more attention to the unique experience of these women and the factors that disproportionately affect this population when they experience IPV. The objective of this study was to identify the help-seeking behaviors and barriers to help-seeking in Hispanic survivors of IPV. The last published systematic review on this topic was in 2011, showing a gap in our understanding of the prevalent barriers affecting these Hispanic women over the last decade. To assess the current …

Training On Law Enforcement's Response To Interpersonal Violence, Genna Hilt
Training On Law Enforcement's Response To Interpersonal Violence, Genna Hilt
Undergraduate Distinction Papers
The current study examines how police officers in various settings perceive interpersonal violence response training as well as how they respond to vignettes detailing hypothetical scenarios of sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking. A common criticism of experience with police following a traumatic occurrence of sexual or interpersonal violence is inappropriate attitude and conduct on behalf of law enforcement agents. Trauma and victim centered training may improve police responding within this field; however, the training received is variable (Campbell et al., 2019; Kinney et al., 2007). In this study, ten participants answered interview or survey items detailing the extent of …

Removing The Masc: Dismantling Gendered Occupations Through Social Work Education, Austin M. Raines
DSW Capstone Projects
The “Masculine mystique” refers to a psychological mask that men wear, enabling them to maintain power and distance themselves from traits associated with femininity” (Kahn, 2009, p. 283). This capstone project seeks to solve the Social Work Grand Challenge of improving the lives that hegemonic masculinity harms and limits. It emphasizes the relationship between the two areas of life (work-home), once thought to exist in different realms but are today more interwoven than ever (Lin & Burgard, 2018; Sok et al., 2014). Men have higher rates of traumatic injuries and exposure to significant physical risks, violence hazards, and stricter normative …
