Reilly, James F. "Law Enforcement Methods to Improve Relationships Within the Illinois Communities." ScholarWorks, 2019. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/7328.

Abstract:

The Will County community supports community policing efforts and wants their law enforcement agencies to be transparent, service-orientated, and committed to their diverse neighborhoods. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore current policing methods and tactics to improve community relationships within Will County, Illinois. Six different focus group studies were completed where 33 participants completed questionnaires and follow-up, in-depth interviews were conducted to gather data on personal police experiences and perceptions. The questionnaire responses were separated into three categories including Likert-scale response questions, dichotomous (yes and no answers), and ranking police tactics by levels of importance. Nine statistically data driven tables were generated into percentage totals that created comparisons of police methods, police tactics, and issues. The main policing tactics that Will County residents expected from their policing agencies were rapid response for service and police professionalism (appearance, conduct, communication skills). The participants expected that police agencies solve major crimes (high-profile murders, assaults, robberies). The lowest ranked police tactics discovered in all 4 subcategories surveyed were aggressive enforcement efforts (even for minor offenses) and traffic enforcement. The participants demonstrated support for community policing efforts that requires law enforcement agencies to work with their neighborhoods. The results of this study can be used to create a policing culture that incorporates traditional policing efforts and combines these efforts with the newer community policing methods that are positively impacting the Will County communities.

Abstract:

Four municipalities in DuPage County, Illinois were selected for study to determine the effects of zoning on housing that is affordable to low and moderate-income groups, and to suggest possible recommendations to achieve some inclusiveness by providing a wide range of housing options.Though Woodridge, Naperville and Villa Park appear to have made progress in terms of providing housing choices for low and moderate income groups, there exist some limited opportunities to increase affordable housing in these communities. Oak Brook is most exclusionary. It provides no opportunities for low and moderate-income groups that work in that community, even though it is a major employment center. This creates difficulties for entry job seekers and other low groups that want to live in these communities.The recommendations are specifically tailored to each community in terms of what the community could realistically do, in view of the limited land available for development. This study is intended to renew interest in zoning and affordable housing, and lead to zoning reforms in communities in DuPage County, Illinois.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between eliciting the relaxation response in first year law students and academic performance.;First year law students at Southern Illinois University ware chosen for this study. Law students were chosen because their course of study was rigorous and stress producing and every student had the same courses during the first year.;There were two treatment groups and a non-treatment control group. One treatment group was taught Benson's Relaxation Procedure and the other was taught a classical eye fixation, self-hypnosis technique. Stress assessments were conducted every other week for an entire semester.;It was hypothesized that (1) the students would be able to lower their anxiety levels from the beginning of the term to the end of the term, (2) that the treatment groups would have lower stress levels than the non-treatment group and (3) that the self-hypnosis group with its motivational statements would show the greatest improvement in academic performance over the other two groups.;It was concluded that there were no significant differences between any of the groups. The treatment groups did not practice enough to be able to assess whether either of the techniques was helpful in reducing stress or in improving academic performance.;Further study is needed to determine if these techniques when used conscientiously will reduce stress and improve academic performance. In addition, comparisons between self-hypnosis and Benson's relaxation procedure still need to be made to determine the role of relaxation in hypnosis.

Banks, Sr Jashon Anthony. "Relationship Between Victims of Urban Violence and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder." ScholarWorks, 2018. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/5973.

Full text

Abstract:

Urban violence has become common in lower-income communities that have high rates of shootings and African-American victims. Urban violence causes victims and their family and friends to experience trauma and puts them at risk for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) injuries. However, there is a gap in knowledge in the framework of urban communities and their range of needs to address PTSD. The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine whether a relationship exists between reinforcement of needs, membership, influence, shared emotional connection, and post-traumatic stress symptomology (PTSS) of urban violence victims in a large metropolitan city. Albert Bandura's self-efficacy theory and social conflict theory comprised the theoretical framework for this research. A correlational design was employed with a convenience sample of 83 respondents drawn from urban violence victims using an internet-based survey instrument designed to assess the elements of sense of community. The research questions examined participants' perceptions of reinforcement of needs, membership, influence, shared emotional connection, and PTSS. Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analyses were performed on the collected data to test the hypotheses. The findings did not show a statistically significant relationship between participants' perceptions of sense of community and PTSD. However, victims of urban violence can use the results of this study to expand understanding of PTSD to address the realities of living in lower-income geographical locations, therefore leading to positive social change.

Abstract:

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
By definition, homelessness refers to general understanding of people without a home or a roof over their heads. As consequences of a number of factors, homelessness has become a serious problem especially in cities throughout the United States. Homeless people are usually most visible on the streets and in settings like shelters due to the fact that their presences and activities in public spaces are considered illegal or at least “unwanted” by city officials and by members of the public. In response to this issue, activists throughout the country have worked tiresly on behalf of homeless people to demand policy changes, an effort that resulted in the passage of the homeless bill of rights in three states, namely Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Illinois. As I discovered through my fieldwork, in Indiana, the homeless, themselves, are currently lobbying for passage of a similar measure. Locating my fieldwork on homelessness in Indianapolis in two sites, the Indianapolis Marion County Public Library (the Central Library) and the IUPUI Library, I examine the use of library buildings as alternative temporary shelters and spaces where the homeless can organize for political change. As an Indonesian ethnographer, I utilized an ethnographic approach, which helped me to reveal “Western values” and “American culture” as they play out in the context of homelessness. In this thesis, I show that there is a multi-sited configuration made up of issues, agents, institutions, and policy processes that converge in the context of the use of library buildings by the homeless. Finally, I conclude that public libraries and university libraries as well can play a more important role beyond their original functions by undertaking tangible actions, efforts, engagements, and interventions to act as allies to the homeless, who are among their most steadfast constituencies. By utilizing public university library facilities, the homeless are also finding their voices to call for justice, for better treatment, and for policies that can help ameliorate the hardship and disadvantages of homelessness.
