College students' awareness and familiarity with modern activism
With the recent rise of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement limited empirical research has been conducted examining knowledge of and attitudes toward this group, especially of that held by college students. College students have been a major force in overt activism related to the movement, and university communities tend to reflect many of the qualities of society as a whole. The purpose of this current study was to examine college students' un…
Reevaluating factors associated with negative attitudes toward police
While a significant amount of research has been conducted in regards to public opinion of police, limited information can be found that reflects college students' opinions toward the subject, and even fewer studies have specifically used students on a college campus as a sample to study such opinions. The majority of past research focuses on low-income minorities who live in transitional neighborhoods and those who typically harbor the most negat…
What are they saying? Black faculty at predominantly white institutions of higher education
In the Twenty-first century Black faculty at predominantly White institutions (PWIs) of higher education that are research-oriented or extensive doctoral granting institutions have identified concerns that produce stress, dissatisfaction and a climate of distrust. Using a Delphi panel of twenty-four Black faculty from forty-three PWIs, 13 concerns after three rounds with a Delphi panel were identified and discussed. These concerns established rea…

This study challenged some of the myths and stereotypes associated with gay males and their relational experiences. This study used a questionnaire to gather descriptive information about the participants' relationship satisfaction, dyadic adjustment, longevity of the relat…

Using the Delphi method a panel of African American faculty initially worked from a list of eight concerns (i.e., lack of mentor; little guidance about the tenure and promotion process; social isolat…

This research is particularly concerned with the experience of African-Americans in institutions of higher education. In addition to demographic data, the survey collected information on school of graduation, scholarly productivity, and collegial relations. The results indicate that African-Americans are graduating from, and being…
Who's in the pipeline? A survey of African-Americans in doctoral programs in criminology and criminal justice
This article focuses on three areas (financial aid, mentorship, and alienation) that affect the professional socialization of African-American doctoral students in criminology and criminal justice. The respondents to a mailed questionnaire provide information about their experience in these three areas. Although the students indicate that they are receiving financial support and experience in teaching and research, and some report that they are b…

A Sociological Analysis of an In/Visible Minority Group
This article examines the following areas of 37 Black male adolescent homosexuals' (age range: 16-21) self-identity, family relation, school/work relations, and social adjustment. Information about these areas was collected by using a Likert-type questionnaire that required the respondents to select the answers true or false. A majority of the respondents were comfortable with their sexual identity, although all of them were passing as heterosexu…
Operating within the mainstream
A sample (N = 37) of African American adolescent homosexual males was administered a questionnaire that focused on four areas of social psychological functioning (self‐identity, family relation, school‐work relations, and social adjustment). The findings contradicted several past studies that reported in general that homosexual males experience crippling cognitive dissonance. Even with the existence of homophobia in the society, the adolescents w…

The model was testedon a sample(N=532) of males and females who were being detained in a county juvenile facility.
