Abstract:

Educational Psychology<br>Ph.D.<br>The focus of my dissertation was to ascertain how teachers perceive the threat of school gun violence and determine what factors affect that perception. To do this, a mixed methods approached was used to survey teachers and staff from a Central Pennsylvania School District. Follow-up interviews were conducted to help support and clarify that data. In general, teachers feel safe at school and rarely do they feel unsafe. The teachers surveyed have received school gun violence prevention training; however, they feel this training was moderate or adequate at best

Abstract:

Gun violence in New Orleans has grown exponentially over the years. As a society we often forget to reflect on how gun violence effects the youth in our communities. Local members of the community in New Orleans have decided to come together to form organizations that can produce better outcomes for the youth in the New Orleans area, two of those organizations being Son of A Saint and the Youth Empowerment Project. Both of these organizations have started the journey to decreasing the amount of gun violence in the city.

Abstract:

Gun violence is a problem in many communities across the United States that are characterized by poverty, and lack of quality education, yet little is known about the experiences of victims of gun violence in these places. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to better understand how people who have been victims of gun violence perceive problems and solutions associated with the production, distribution, and ownership of guns. Based on the theoretical framework of Rousseau's social contract theory, this study explored gun violence from the perspectives of 10 victims whose lives were

Abstract:

This thesis explores the lived experience of members of a little-studied group, the survivors of gun violence. Although gun violence is a topic of intense interest and discussion around the world, the focus tends to be on mortality, with little consideration given to people who are shot and do not die. The Guatemalan wheelchair NGO Transitions reports that, among adults, the single most common reason for needing a wheelchair is spinal cord injury (SCI) caused by gunshot. This suggests a very serious impact of gun violence in terms of disability and its accompanying challenges in a low-resourc

In three low socioeconomic urban communities of Greenwood (pseudonym), young men's lack of education provides dim prospects of employment, possibly causing the young men to turn to gun violence.

The conceptual framework for this study was Bandura's modeling theory. The central research question addressed how the community stakeholder groups describe

Gun control is a topic that has a variety of complex aspects. Creating a solution for gun violence has been a difficult task for the President and Congress in the last few years.

Mass shootings have become an unfortunate part of reality in the United States, but these are fairly uncommon occurrences.

Findings suggest activists must establish trust and respect with youth they work with before mediation begins, which is established through similar life experiences or backgrounds. Once a strong bond is established with youth, activists identified five core p

Since the 75th anniversary of the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane in 2003, a growing number of journalists and historians writing about the disaster have incorporated Zora Neale Hurston's 1937 novel Their Eyes Were Watching God as part of the official historical record of the hurricane. These writers often border on depicting Their Eyes as the authentic experience of black migrant workers impacted by the hurricane and subsequent flood. Within the novel itself, however, Hurston theorizes on the potential epistemic violence that occurs when a piece of evidence—a photograph, fallen body, or verbal arti

Abstract:

The United States is experiencing a significant public health problem in the form of gun violence. Despite being one of the wealthiest countries in the world, the US exhibits significantly higher rates of fatal and non-fatal firearm injuries than other wealthy, industrialized nations. Despite this issue, the debate on gun control is one of the most heated topics discussed across the political spectrum. The constitutional right to own and possess a firearm is defended fiercely by gun advocates that desire fewer restrictions. The content of this thesis provides a detailed overview on the hist

Abstract:

The United States faces an ever-growing public health concern of gun violence, having the highest rate of homicide by firearm use among Western countries.

Although both samples share similar attitudes,

Abstract:

A group of eight activist African-Canadian high school students, as well as 26 Euro- Canadian “drop-backs” were also interviewed. The time during which I conducted the study was a period of intensive education activism of parents and the community in Toronto. I was interested in determining whether or not, and this activism was reflected at the
