Policing Persons with Mental Illness in Georgia: Elucidating Perceptions of the Mental Health System
Creators: name: Knowles, Meredith
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2012

description: The criminal justice and mental health systems increasingly overlap as persons with mental illness (PMI) are disproportionately present throughout components of the criminal justice system, a concern to mental health and criminal justice professionals alike. In response, various initiatives (aimed across components of the criminal justice system) have been developed and implemented as a means of combating this overrepresentation. The following research will focus on one specialized police-based initiative, the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT), which aims to train police how to recognize mental illness, de-escalate persons in crisis, and to seek treatment-based alternatives to arrest, when appropriate (Schwarzfeld, Reuland, & Plotkin, 2008). Alternatives to arrest consist of various community-based mental health services such as public hospitals (some of which are designated as emergency receiving facilities, or ERFs) or private clinics. While the components of CIT training likely influence officers in unique ways, research has yet to empirically examine how CIT influences police perception, behavior or the incidence of referrals to mental health treatment. As an initial step, this research assessed the attitudes police have regarding the hospital and mental health system within their district. Specifically, this research provides a basic understanding of how police regard their local hospitals and mental health facilities that are posited as available alternatives to arrest, and help identify the role CIT plays in shaping these attitudes. This study found almost no significant difference in the attitudes CIT-trained officers had towards district ERF and the local mental health system as compared to non-CIT officers. Only in one of the six departments studied was there a significant difference between the attitudes of CIT-officers and non-CIT officers; with the non-CIT officers actually having more positive attitudes about their local mental health system than CIT-officers. The six departments studied had nearly similar attitudes of their mental health resources, which would barely be considered passing on a standard grading scale. While officers in this study do not have very positive attitudes towards the ERF they use to transport PMI or their districts’ mental health system, these attitudes may in fact be more positive than many police departments without any specialized approach or initiative. The significance and policy implications of these attitudes are discussed at length, as these findings speak to the need for increased attention by both the mental health and criminal justice systems. Recommendations for future research, including expanding this study to rural departments or agencies with no connection to CIT, are also outlined.

Examining the Relationship between Procedural Justice and Recidivism in a Jail-Based Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Program
Creators: name: Dane, Christian
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2012

description: Research has found support for the effectiveness of procedural justice, specifically perceived fairness, in gaining compliance from people with respect to the police and the courts (Sunshine & Tyler, 2003; Tyler, 1984; Tyler, 2001). Further, research has examined the effectiveness in jail-based residential substance abuse treatment (RSAT) programs in reducing recidivism for offenders with substance abuse problems (Bahr, Harris, Strobell, & Taylor, 2012; Eisenberg & Fabelo, 1996; Hiller, Knight, & Simpson, 1999). However, research has yet to test whether procedural justice can impact recidivism for offenders with substance abuse problems and multiple incarcerations. The major focus of this Master’s thesis was to examine whether 78 participants in the 90-day jail-based RSAT program known as Starting Treatment and Recovery Today (START) were less likely to be rearrested after release from jail if they felt they were treated fairly by the jail staff. Bivariate analyses were conducted on survey data and official criminal records. The findings suggest that perceived fairness of the jail staff was not related to post-program recidivism. Moreover, the results indicate that offenders with more extensive criminal histories were more likely to recidivate. Recommendations for future research and the implications of the findings are discussed.
Sanctionable Behavior in a Felony Level Drug Court: Categorizing Noncompliant Behavior Through a Criminal-Thinking Lens
Creators: name: Bonomo, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2012

description: Drug courts use sanctions as a form of behavior management and modification, and they are an important structural tool in the treatment of drug offenders by the criminal justice system.  This research examined noncompliant behavior being sanctioned in a felony level drug court.  The sample consisted of 66 high risk/high needs individuals who were enrolled in a drug court over a two-year period.  Sanctionable behaviors were analyzed through a criminal-thinking framework in order to better understand noncompliant behavior in drug court.  This study finds support for applying a criminal-thinking framework to noncompliant behavior sanctioned in drug court.  The findings from this study illustrate the nuances of noncompliant behavior of a drug court population.

description: In the context of low-resource languages, the Algerian dialect (AD) faces challenges due to the absence of annotated corpora, hindering its effective processing, notably in Machine Learning (ML) applications reliant on corpora for training and assessment. This study outlines the development process of a specialized corpus for Fake News (FN) detection and sentiment analysis (SA) in AD called FASSILA. This corpus comprises 10,087 sentences, encompassing over 19,497 unique words in AD, and addresses the significant lack of linguistic resources in the language and covers seven distinct domains. We propose an annotation scheme for FN detection and SA, detailing the data collection, cleaning, and labelling process. Remarkable Inter-Annotator Agreement indicates that the annotation scheme produces consistent annotations of high quality. Subsequent classification experiments using BERT-based models and ML models are presented, demonstrate promising results and highlight avenues for further research. The dataset is made freely available on GitHub (https://github.com/amincoding/FASSILA) to facilitate future advancements in the field.

Protecting the Castle: Applying Protection Motivation Theory to Explain the Use of Home Guardianship
Creators: name: Clubb, Audrey
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2012

description: Home guardianship measures provide individuals with a means to enhance and ensure the safety of themselves, their family, and their property inside their homes. However, research regarding the factors considered in the decision to employ home guardianship measures as well as the means by which individuals assess this information regarding potential threats and protective responses is limited and varied in its implementation. This study attempts to provide a theoretical framework for understanding the use of home guardianship measures with the application of a modified version of Ronald Rogers’ (1983) Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) model. This model assesses factors that directly contribute to the motivation to engage in protective measures as well as cognitive processes through which an individual assesses these factors. This study finds support both for the direct relationships between sources of information about potential threats or protective responses and the use of home guardianship measures, as well as support for mediating effects of these relationships. In conclusion, this study provides suggestions for future research to further examine the application of PMT to understand the use of guardianship measures.

Vicarious Victimization: Examining the Effects of Witnessing Victimization While Incarcerated on Offender Reentry.
Creators: name: Daquin, Jane
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: Witnessing victimization in prison is a relatively new area of research. Prison victimization research focuses on direct experiences of victimization and its attending consequences; however, studies have not focused on the vicarious victimization experiences of prisoners. Drawing from the prison victimization, witnessing/exposure to violence, and offender reentry literature, this study will investigate the link between witnessing victimization in prison and individual post-release outcomes. Using multivariate analyses, I examined the extent to which individuals witness victimization in prison and the effects of witnessing victimization on individual post-release outcomes using The Prison Experience and Reentry study, a longitudinal study of 1613 males residing in Ohio halfway houses. The findings suggest that a significant proportion of offenders witness victimization while incarcerated. Furthermore, witnessing victimization, particularly witnessing sexual victimization and stealing, was significantly related to post-release outcomes. Policy implications and directions for future research are discussed.
Adolescent Sexual Victimization: The Role of Social Support and Risky Lifestyle
Creators: name: Azimi, Andia
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: Although about half of all rape victims are adolescents, the bulk of the research on sexual victimization is focused on college or community samples of adult women. As such, little is known about adolescent risk of sexual victimization. Adolescence is an important developmental phase in life, in which an individual undergoes major social and biological changes. These changes may make them more susceptible to environmental characteristics, such as family climate, compared to adults. Environmental factors may influence risk taking among adolescents, which may increase the risk of sexual victimization. The theory of social support can be useful in understanding why some young individuals are sexually victimized and others are not. Data for the analysis is derived from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). The current study uses the in-home interviews from Wave I, Wave II, and Wave IV of Add Health. The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between social support, risky behavior, and sexual victimization. Specifically, whether risky behavior mediates the relationship between adolescent sexual victimization and social support will be examined.
The Pathway From School to the Criminal Justice System: Predicting School Expulsion and Subsequent Adult Arrest Via A Longitudinal Model
Creators: name: Gentile, Danielle
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: Exclusionary discipline policies (Casella, 2003; Christle, Jolivette & Nelson, 2005; Tuzzolo & Hewitt, 2007), academic failure and school dropout are some of the most salient factors in the school to prison pipeline (Christle, Jolivette & Nelson, 2005). While previous research has explored the variability in existing exclusionary discipline policies and identified numerous factors associated with expulsion or criminal justice outcomes among youth, there has been little effort to bring these individual and school level factors together into a single predictive model that is informed by existing criminological theories. In this context, the proposed study will use multiple waves of data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to consider how school discipline policies, demographics, and competing criminological explanations affect the risk of expulsion and then future contact with the criminal justice system. Findings reveal that school-level factors such as severe disciplinary policies, school size, and school type are weak predictors of expulsion and adult arrest. Conversely, measures of social bonding, low self-control, learning, and strain theories show promise in predicting expulsion and arrest outcomes. A history of school disciplinary actions and self-reported delinquency present themselves as the strongest predictors of expulsion and subsequent arrest. Theoretical and policy implications are considered.
Legislative Study on China’s Compensation for Nuclear Damage Liability

description: The civil nuclear industry plays an important role in improving environmental quality and safeguarding energy security in China. Nevertheless, the industry is facing a huge risk of nuclear accident damage. The legal system of nuclear damage compensation is of vital importance for the industry to address potential risks. The Nuclear Safety Law, which has recently been published in China, stipulates two articles about nuclear damage compensation in principle. However, in general, the current nuclear damage compensation legal system in China has not yet been made systematic and there are still problems, such as a lack of maneuverability and details. This paper adopts qualitative and quantitative methodologies to summarize and analyze the current legislation and regulation pertaining to civil nuclear damage compensation liability in China and analyzes the shortages and deficiencies of these rules in detail by using legal analysis methods. Suggestions to establish and perfect China’s legal system of nuclear damage compensation are proposed to safeguard the healthy development of the civil nuclear industry and remedy damages brought about by nuclear accidents. Such a legal system should contain the elements of clear legislative goals and objectives, a specific definition and scope of nuclear damage, strict and sole responsibility principles for operators, an appropriate liability amount, a stable financial guarantee for operators, and national supplementary liability.
Comparing Needed and Actual Knowledge of Elder Abuse for Law Enforcement Officers, APS Workers, and Students in Criminal Justice and Social Work
Creators: name: Tapp, Susannah
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: A sample of APS workers, law enforcement officers, criminal justice and social work students were surveyed. Participants were asked how much knowledge they believed professionals working in their respective fields had about elder abuse and how much those same professionals needed to know. The differences between needed and possessed knowledge, also referred to as level of anomie, was compared across groups. Students in both groups believed those working in their fields had significantly less knowledge than they needed on all elements of responding to elder abuse. APS workers and law enforcement officers felt those in their fields had enough knowledge on some elements of responding to elder abuse but not others. APS workers had the least total anomie, and criminal justice students had the most. All groups experiences significant levels of anomie on some elements of responding to elder abuse and neglect, suggesting more training is needed.

The Influence of Audience Presence on Cases of Victim Precipitated Homicide
Creators: name: Hunt, Donald
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Victim precipitated homicide is a phenomenon generally credited to the seminal work of Marvin Wolfgang (1957, 1958, 1967).  While a limited number of studies have been conducted supporting this concept, limited understanding exists of the event dynamics of homicidal transactions in general and victim precipitated homicides in particular.  In this study, the presence of an audience and alcohol impairment are treated as catalysts that influence the dynamics of the homicide event.   It is hypothesized that homicide events are more likely to take shape as victim precipitated transactions when audience members are present.  It is further hypothesized that the victim’s consumption of alcohol serves as a moderator between the presence of an audience and victim precipitated homicide.  These hypotheses were tested using a dataset of 473 homicides occurring in Dallas, Texas from 1988 to 1997.  The author found support for the first hypothesis postulating that the presence of an audience increases the odds of a victim precipitated homicide, but found little support for alcohol as a moderating factor.  Potential theoretical and policy implications and future research are discussed.

description: The open quantum system eigenstate in the vicinity of low-energy decay channel may mimic its features, in particular the characteristic clustering properties of the decay channel. This generic mechanism of clusterization, the so-called mimicry mechanism of clusterization, is discussed here on example of the ground state wave function of $^8$Be. At higher excitation energies, when the density of states and reaction channels is high, the quantal aspects in the clusterization process disappear and the statistical mechanism of clusterization which is rooted in the Central Limit Theorem, begin to dominate.

description: The objective of this study is to compare suicidal thoughts amongst American Indian/Alaskan Native's (AI/AN) to a non-AI/AN comparison group, using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, a nationally-representative, longitudinal study. At wave one a statistical difference is present between NA/AN and comparisons, but at wave four the difference is no longer significant. Using Agnew’s General Strain theory as a theoretical framework, factors that may contribute to these differences addressed in this study include: alcohol abuse, exposure to suicidal behavior of friends and family, depression, and weapon access. Implications for prevention and treatment are discussed.

description: This study explored the perspectives of Manresa School academic year (AY) 2020-2021 grade 12 students on synchronous and asynchronous modes of communication in remote learning and the consequences of the combined modes of communication in their learning process. The data was gathered from the participants’ position paper about the implementation of remote learning in the time of COVID-19 pandemic–a requirement in the course the researcher teaches in the study site. The phenomenological research design was utilized as the researcher conducted an inductive thematic coding in the analysis of the data.

The study revealed 13 themes describing the perspectives of the participants on the combined modes of communication: (1) self-paced, (2) undetermined response time, (3) time-efficient, (4) flexible location, (5) open to more distractions, (6) internet-dependent, (7) mediated by electronic and information technologies, (8) utilization of online and multimedia resources, (9) less interpersonal connection, (10) utilization of social networking sites and online messaging applications, (11) flexible interaction, (12) limited to no supervision, and (13) control over response. 

The study also discovered that the combined modes of communication had two major consequences on the participants’ learning process: (1) discovery of their own learning strategies, and (2) acknowledgement of their deficiencies in the nature of education for their future.
The Role of Violent Victimization in Juvenile Delinquency and Substance Dependence: Examining the Mediating Effects of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
Creators: name: Park, Yeoju
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: To explain delinquency, General Strain Theory (GST) focuses on negative relationships with others. As one type of victimization, exposure to violence is significantly related to juvenile crime and substance abuse. In addition, victimized adolescents commonly experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, little research has investigated the mediating role of PTSD in the association between violent victimization and juvenile delinquency.
Using data from the National Survey of Adolescents (1995), the present study examines the direct effects of sexual assault, physical assault, and witnessing violence on inner- (alcohol and illicit drug use) and outer-directed behaviors (property and violent crime). This study also examines the mediating role of PTSD, based on an overall scale of PTSD as well as the individual components of PTSD (re-experiencing, avoidance/numbing, and hyperarousal). Logistic regression analyses and the Sobel test were used to examine the hypotheses.
Findings in the study provide support for the proposition of GST that violent victimization increases the risk of juvenile crime and substance use. Findings also indicate that exposure to violence results in a higher probability of exhibiting PTSD symptoms. Finally, PTSD clusters partially mediate the link between violent victimization and outer-directed responses. However, the expected mediating effect between violent victimization and inner-directed responses was not found. Theoretical implications and limitations are discussed.

The Prediction of Violent Recidivism Amongst Individuals with Mental Disorders: Situational vs. Dispositional Factors
Creators: name: Harris, Michelle
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: The objective of this study is to evaluate why some individuals with mental illness are more inclined to violently recidivate. There appears to be two perspectives that may explain recidivism: one that emphasizes situational factors and one that emphasizes dispositional factors. Situational factors are those that are constantly changing within one’s life, whereas dispositional factors are those that remain relatively stable over time. Therefore, dispositional factors would theoretically put individuals with mental illness at stable risk for recidivism because these factors remain relatively stable over time. In fact, perhaps individuals with mental illness repeatedly engage in violence because they have a dispositional trait (like low self-control, for example) that puts them at stable risk for recidivism. Conversely, situational factors would theoretically explain why individuals do not engage in recidivism because they are transient and constantly changing. Therefore, perhaps one desists from violence because some situational factor changed in that individual’s life. Using data from the MacArthur Violence Risk Assessment study (i.e. MacRisk), a longitudinal study of people with serious mental illness, violent recidivism will be evaluated across waves. Specifically, the objective is to determine if situational or dispositional factors influence violent recidivism.

Transnational Business Governance Interactions and Financial Regulation Change : A Case of Asian Financial Markets
Creators: name: Gao, Simin
name: Chen, Christopher
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: This chapter examines the interactions of transnational business governance schemes regulating the global derivatives markets with multiple levels of interactions. The chapter describes the process of interactions via the theory of isomorphism. First, after examining the interactions of futures exchanges, we identify that governance techniques among futures exchanges are rather similar, illustrating the forces of mimetic and normative isomorphism. Second, the monopoly of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) scheme in the over-the-counter (OTC) market provides signs of mimetic isomorphism. Third, through imparity of market power and major market dealers, the ISDA scheme became the only governance scheme for the over-the-counter (OTC) market . This shows some signs of coercive isomorphism, though there may also exist a certain degree of divergence of development for certain rules.

"Doomed to Deviance?": Examining the Impact of Perceived Ability to Change on Offending Behavior
Creators: name: Johnston, Tricia
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: Several studies suggest that desistance from crime is influenced by factors such as age, gender, race/ethnicity, prior offending, delinquent peer associations, self-control, educational attainment, and social bonds (e.g. Blumstein, Farrington, & Moitra, 1985; Elliot, 1994; Gottfredson & Hirschi, 1990; Laub and Sampson, 1993; McCord, 1980; Uggen & Kruttschnitt, 1998). In addition, Maruna (2001) alludes to the importance of personal agency suggesting that offender’s perceptions about their own ability to change are an essential component of the desistance process. Drawing upon qualitative data, Maruna finds that persisting offenders “…feel powerless to change their behavior” (2001:74). Maruna refers to this perceived lack of control over the future as a sense of being “doomed to deviance” and suggests that persistent offenders struggle to desist because they view themselves as victims of circumstance(s) and unable to change. Thus, offenders’ perceptions about their own ability to change are said to play a significant role in desistance.
Using longitudinal data involving 1,354 serious youthful offenders from the Pathways to Desistance study, the primary purpose of this investigation was to conduct a quantitative test of Maruna’s (2001) arguments. The data were used to examine the statistical relationship between future behavior and offenders’ perceptions about their ability to desist. In addition, this study examined substance abuse and social support as factors that potentially shape offenders’ expectations regarding their own ability to change. Consistent with Maruna’s (2001) work, the results indicate that offender’s perceptions about their ability to stay out of trouble with the law do impact future offending behavior. The results also show, however, that substance abuse and social support do not exert significant (direct) effects on perceived chances of staying out of trouble with the law, controlling for other variables. Implications for policy and theory are discussed.
Use of Home Protection and Worry About Burglary
Creators: name: Quach, Tam
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: The purpose of this study is to examine whether different types of home protection/guardianship behavior have any influence on worry about burglary, using the Seattle, Washington data collected by Terrance Miethe in 1990. This study also examines whether gender and previous victimization have any moderating effect on the relationship between home guardianship and worry about burglary. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationships. The findings in the main model showed that four of the seven types of home guardianship significantly predicted higher likelihoods of worry of about burglary. When gender was treated as a moderator, only one type of home protection significantly predicted higher chances of worry for females whereas four types of home protection significantly predicted higher odds of worry for males. When previous victimization was treated as a moderator, findings in the non-victims’ model were the same as findings in the main model. Findings in the previous victims’ model showed that one type of home guardianship predicted higher chances of worry about burglary. Limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Understanding Youth Perceptions of Police Legitimacy
Creators: name: Hockin, Sara
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: Police-community interactions became a highly publicized topic in the United States following several recent police-involved shootings. Previous research shows several factors predict attitudes and behaviors toward police, including neighborhood context, race, offender status, and experiencing procedural justice. Contact with actors in the criminal justice system can begin at a young age. Based on these issues, the current study focused on two primary research questions: What are youth’s perceptions of police legitimacy? What experiences have shaped those understandings? Using semi-structured interviews with a sample of 28 youth ages 13-17 from diverse backgrounds and neighborhoods, the current study sought to identify the ways young people conceptualize police legitimacy and rationalize the attitudes they hold. The study explored how direct and indirect experiences as well as acculturation shape youths’ understandings of the police and policing.
The Targeting of Undocumented Latino Immigrants by Active Street Offenders
Creators: name: Caraballo, Krystle
Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description: Immigrants, particularly those lacking formal documentation, have increasingly been stereotyped as increasing crime rates, stealing employment from American citizens, abusing social services, and, since the 1990s, as being of Mexican descent. In an effort to address many of the public and political concerns, legislation since the 1990s has criminalized many immigration infractions, reduced access for law enforcement through partnerships with immigration enforcement, and reduced rights for immigrants facing deportation proceedings. Collectively, these policies have created a population of vulnerable targets who are unable turn to the police if victimized and may face additional legal sanctions if reported. Media and scholar reports suggest that undocumented immigrants are increasingly targeted by predatory street offenders for robbery, burglary, and carjacking. This study utilizes interviews from 11 active street offenders to understand if, and to what extent, street offenders target “Mexicans.” This study also sought to parallel the existing literature scholars utilizing interviews with undocumented victims of street crime. I compare previous academic hypotheses regarding immigrant vulnerability with the perceptions of vulnerability by street offenders. The results support the notion that undocumented immigrants are explicitly targeted by street offenders, support the use of Routine Activities Theory as an explanatory mechanism for immigrant victimization, and provide preliminary support for several hypotheses regarding perceived immigrant vulnerability. The results also support the notion that street offenders stereotype undocumented immigrants as being of Latino descent, that offenders are differently motivated by perceived immigration status and criminal involvement, and, to a lesser extent, utilize mainstream stereotypes to justify victimization.

Disability Status and Victimization: An Examination of Mediating Factors on Risk
Creators: name: Gann, Taylor
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: Current estimates of the world’s population demonstrate that approximately 15-19 percent of individuals possess some form of disability (Hughes et al., 2012). Studies examining the victimization risk of this group have found that the disabled are approximately two times more likely to experience victimization, as compared to their non-disabled counterparts (Emerson & Roulstone, 2015; Sobsey, 2014). In addition to the increased likelihood of victimization, researchers have documented variation in risk across different disability statuses (Kahlifeh et al., 2013; Turner et al., 2011). Although there is evidence of a differentiation in risk, reasons behind this variation have been neglected. Furthermore, studies regarding the victimization of some forms of disability, such as the hearing impaired, have been limited. Utilizing Cohen and Felson’s (1969) routine activities theory, a series of multivariate logistic regressions were conducted employing data from the Life Opportunities Survey collected in the U.K. The first step in the analysis was to establish victimization risk across disability statuses. Second, target suitability, guardianship, and exposure factors associated with varying forms of impairment were incorporated to account for any potential mediation of the association between disability status and the outcome variable, victimization. I found that there is significant variation in risk across disability statuses. In addition, aspects of routine activities/lifestyles vary significantly across different forms of disability. Conversely, these elements did not mediate the relationship between disability status and victimization.
