Advancing Diversity Training for Police Officers through Community-Based Multicultural Immersion Practices: Recommendations for Law Enforcement Trainers and Managers
No full textFrom 2014 to the present, police shootings with the use of deadly force among communities of color have become a matter of heightened national concern. This study draws on an extensive literature review gathered from open sources, academic journal articles in law enforcement, criminal justice and government documents as well as on key definitional foundations to explore the impact of cultural competence training activities for police officers. Through a case study of primary research, insights are offered from an adult education community-based multicultural immersion program. The authors of this paper argue for the integration of community-based multicultural immersion learning approaches by law enforcement trainers and managers. This paper concludes by offering recommendations and directions for future research, practice and dialogue for general adoption in the field of law enforcement
Effects of Perceived Procedural Justice on the Relationship Between Visa Application Outcome and Psychological Distress: Evidence from Ghanaians and Nigerians Applying for U.S. Student Visas
No full textVisa interviews are not just bureaucratic processes; they can have significant psychological effects on applicants. This study examined the impact of U.S. student visa outcomes on psychological distress among West African applicants, with particular attention to perceptions of procedural justice during the interview process. The study surveyed 203 Ghanaian and Nigerian individuals who had previously applied for a U.S. student visa. Psychological distress was measured using the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), and perceptions of fairness were measured with a custom-developed Procedural Justice Scale. Independent samples t-tests showed that denied applicants reported significantly higher distress, although elevated symptoms were also observed among approved applicants. Perceived procedural justice did not moderate the relationship between visa outcome and distress. However, a post hoc mediation analysis using Hayes’ PROCESS macro (Model 4) revealed that perceived procedural justice fully mediated this relationship. These findings suggest that applicants’ perceptions of fairness during the visa process may shape psychological responses more than whether their visa was approved or denied. The results point to the importance of transparent and respectful visa procedures that acknowledge applicants’ psychological experiences and support well-being
