Homosexuality During the Transition from Weimar Republic to Third Reich
Get PDFHomosexual communities successfully formed prominent subcultures during the Weimar Republic for a multitude of reasons: scientific research and educational outreach to the public about the inborn nature of homosexuality, less strict media censorship laws, and a vague anti-sodomy law that was difficult to enforce led police to often prefer tolerance over prosecution. The Third Reich brought about a deep cultural shift that would prove incredibly harmful to the homosexual communities. While at first, homosexuals had not been a targeted group largely thanks to Hitler’s personal friendship with a gay Nazi named Ernst Röhm, the latter’s sexuality became the center of a targeted media attack against the Nazis and Röhm was eventually killed. After that, it became convenient for the Nazis to scapegoat homosexuals and use their prosecution and persecution to appease the Nazis’ morally conservative supporters. Furthermore, Heinrich Himmler’s personal agenda against homosexuals aligned with Hitler’s vision of a homogenous society
Breonna’s Law: The Genesis, Not the Culmination, for Policy Response to Violent Confrontation during No-Knock Search Warrants
Get PDFFirst, this paper constructs the background on search warrants, including the legal precedent, policy environment, and stakeholders involved. Second, and most importantly, it will analyze the outcomes, impacts, and, particularly, the disproportionate minority impact of each section of Breonna’s Law. Lastly, this paper will contribute an informed assessment of the policy and further policy recommendations that can be taken into account to address the issue of violent confrontations and casualties, especially against people of color, during the execution of search warrants

Canopy Cover, Impermeability, and Green Space in Pennsylvania Redlined Neighborhoods
Get PDFPrevious studies have explored the relationship between redlining and canopy cover by using percent canopy cover. This data type can miss low-density trees that are common in urban areas, differences between parks and street trees, and differences in the size of the green space. With a distinction between parks and street trees, we are able to determine what types of green space redlined communities have access to, since different types of green space have different kinds of impacts on the community. This study aims to analyze the relationship between previously redlined Pennsylvania neighborhoods and their current canopy impermeability, using high resolution tree canopy cover data. As was hypothesized, both York and Philadelphia grade D neighborhoods had less green space, smaller areas of contiguous green space, and were farther from green space. This perpetuates the cycle of systemic racism in urban communities and reinforces environmental injustices

Flooding, Landslides, Wildfires, Air Pollution, and Income: Risk in California
Get PDFCalifornia is infamously known for its likelihood of environmental hazards such as flooding, landslides, air pollution, and forest fires which can be attributed to the natural climate of the area as well as anthropologically influenced climate change. Air pollution also poses potential threats and dangers to the civilians of California as increasing populations and uses of fossil fuels continue to contribute to the growing issue of climate change. The goal of this study was to examine and analyze the geospatial trends environmental hazards in California such as landslides, air pollution, flooding, and forest fires. A weighted test, zone and slope reclassifications, and quantified tests were conducted in order to study the effects of climate change on risk level in California. It was found that the greatest air quality and fire risk is located within Central Valley while fire and landslide risk showed opposite effects. Areas of high environmental hazard risk and low income were scattered amongst the state but mainly concentrated in the northern and eastern areas of California
