Take Their Feet off Our Necks: A Descriptive Study of Sexual Harassment in Higher Education
Get PDFThis study examines survivors’ perceptions of sexual harassment experienced as members of higher education (e.g., faculty, staff, students, and administrators). Individually, an examination of the survivors’ perceptions of perpetrator consequences and how institutional responses occurred. This study aims to provide insight into the survivors’ experiences and understandings of sexual harassment experiences, further than the well-established health and career consequences. I utilized the Sexual Harassment in the Academy data set created by Dr. Karen Kelsky. In this study, there is a sample of 1,230 members of higher education who experienced sexual harassment. The sample of self-identified sexual harassment survivors allows the study to focus on how survivors interpret sexual harassment events
Law Enforcement Leadership and Organizational Culture in a Post-2020 Society
Get PDFThe purpose of this qualitative pilot study was to investigate the perceptions of selected law enforcement leaders regarding the impending transition in law enforcement agencies in a post-2020 society. Specific elements of this transition investigated included recruitment, training, socialization, leadership roles/qualifications, change strategies/process, stakeholder involvement, and measures of success. Purposeful, convenience, and snowball sampling were used to select study participants. Study participants (N=21) were active sworn law enforcement leaders in a law enforcement agency in North Carolina. Participants possessed a broad range of law enforcement years of experience and/or leadership/supervisory experience at a minimum rank of lieutenant. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 law enforcement leaders to gather their perspective regarding the transition of law enforcement agencies. Thematic analysis was used to organize and interpret the information collected to a post-2020 environment. Findings suggest law enforcement leaders support the transition occurring in this post-2020 society and law enforcement agencies must adapt to ensure a positive culture and to effectively serve the community. Further research suggestions include studying agencies from multiple states, studying the perspective of female law enforcement leaders only and studying the perspective of police chiefs only

A Filtered Milne-Simpson ODE Method with Enhanced Stability Properties
Get PDFThe Milne-Simpson method is a two-step implicit linear multistep method for the numerical solution of ODEs that obtains the theoretically highest order of convergence for such a method. The stability region of the method is only an interval on the imaginary axis and the method is classified as weakly stable which causes non-physical oscillations to appear in numerical solutions. For this reason, the method is seldom used in applications. This work examines filtering techniques that improve the stability properties of the Milne-Simpson method while retaining its fourth-order convergence rate. The resulting filtered Milne-Simpson method is attractive as a method of lines integrator of linear time-dependent partial differential equations
