Enhancing human trafficking victim services
Human trafficking survivors experience significant service delivery barriers, exacerbated by inefficiencies of current coordinated community response models. Despite research on survivors’ needs and consequences of human trafficking, there remains a gap in examining the most efficient service deployment method for survivors. This study examines low user engagement with a human trafficking victim services platform, BRIGHT, designed to address data…
Understanding the Challenges in the Anti-Human Trafficking Movement in Florida
Florida ranks third in the United States for prevalence rates of human trafficking, but there are still clear gaps in the way we address human trafficking in terms of prevention, intervention, and treatment. To better understand the gaps in services for human trafficking survivors from the perspective of the providers who serve them, we conducted in-depth interviews with anti-trafficking stakeholders in Florida. This comprehensive gap analysis he…
Adopted children who kill their adoptive parents
Adoptive parricide, the killing of adoptive parents by their adoptive children, is a phenomenon that garners much media attention but remains elusive in the extant literature. Previous studies on adoptive parricide have largely consisted of clinical case studies with limited theoretical explanations. The current study uses Bowlby's attachment theory as a theoretical framework to explore adoptive parricide. A content analysis was conducted of news…

Variation in Exposure to Violence in Early Adolescence Distinguishes between Intimate Partner Violence Victimization and Perpetration among Young Men Involved in the Justice System
Testing the generality of an internal power theory of interpersonal violence across sex and race/ethnicity
Recently, Wagers articulated a theory of internal power to explain intimate partner violence (IPV). Internal power is conceptualized as comprising five domains: self-concept clarity, self-esteem, self-efficacy, self-determination, and mastery. Individuals with high internal power are expected to engage in little to no IPV. The present study tested measurement invariance of the internal power instrument across sex and race/ethnicity using a sample…
Learning in a Community
Research on pedagogy has established the benefit of High Impact Practices (HIP) for student outcomes. Learning communities are a specific HIP that can vary widely in their structure. Learning communities appear to have a positive impact on academic outcomes and student perceptions. While research appears to support the use of learning communities, research has yet to fully explore the impact of the learning community on specific student skills. G…
What Motivates Today’s Criminal Justice Student to Become an Engaged Learner
The use of student-centered High Impact Practices (HIPs) has become increasingly popular across university and college faculty. HIPs increase student development of critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills. HIPs also provide students the opportunity to engage in real-world application of course knowledge. While HIPs increase student engagement and intrinsic motivation, little research has explored student perception of these c…
