War In Iraq, 2003-2011: An Exhibit From The Hagel Archives, Lori Schwartz
War In Iraq, 2003-2011: An Exhibit From The Hagel Archives, Lori Schwartz
Criss Library Faculty Proceedings & Presentations
I’m the Chuck Hagel and Technical Services Archivist at UNO. I manage the Hagel Archives. Hagel was a U.S. senator in 1997-2009 and SecDef in 2013-2015. Lesser known is that he was deputy administrator at the VA in 1981-82.
Topics for which the Hagel Collection has dozens of cubic feet include the War on Terror broadly, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, economic downtown of 2007-2009, and climate change. The abundance of records in these areas is because Hagel was on Foreign Relations, Banking, and Intelligence.
Archiving Latinxs On The U.S. Great Plains: Voices Of A Pandemic Oral History Collection, Wendy Guerra
Archiving Latinxs On The U.S. Great Plains: Voices Of A Pandemic Oral History Collection, Wendy Guerra
Criss Library Faculty Proceedings & Presentations
Nebraska is 12% Hispanic and Latino, up from 5.5% in 2000. Latinx people in Nebraska are under-represented in archives, as intersecting identities – class, immigration status, English proficiency and more – mean they have historically appeared as subjects rather than agents. Oral histories, especially those with members of historically excluded groups, are a critical tool for filling some of the silences in archives, thus making archives more representative of populations they serve. However, oral histories conducted as part of bilingual initiatives and staffed by people with varying levels of fluency come with unique challenges. The presenters will discuss oral history …
Export Capacity And Capital Stock Augmentation Through Imports: Evidence From Sub-Saharan African Countries, Catherine Y. Co
Export Capacity And Capital Stock Augmentation Through Imports: Evidence From Sub-Saharan African Countries, Catherine Y. Co
Economics Faculty Publications
This paper investigates the capital goods imports of Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries from 2002 to 2017. The composition of capital goods imports has become less diverse over time in more than half of the countries studied. Colonial ties no longer determine the sourcing of capital goods as China is now the top source. Trade gravity regressions using the Poisson pseudo-maximum-likelihood estimator show that bilateral exports of non-primary products by SSA countries and their low-income peers are associated with increased net stock of imported general-purpose capital goods. Additionally, there is evidence that the net stock of some types of imported equipment …
Making Sense Of Unofficial Deadly Force Data, Justin Nix
Making Sense Of Unofficial Deadly Force Data, Justin Nix
Criminology and Criminal Justice Faculty Publications
Ferguson. Baltimore. Louisville. Minneapolis. Deadly police-civilian encounters over the past decade in these and other U.S. cities have launched presidential task forces and sparked protests, riots, and in some cases, retaliatory violence against officers (e.g., Dallas). Yet shockingly, there still isn’t a comprehensive, official dataset that tracks the use of deadly force by police officers. The absence of such a dataset seems absurd, given the widespread ability to track other information like current employment statistics or when a package will arrive at the recipient’s doorstep. The absence of such a dataset makes it too easy for people with large platforms …

An Experimental Look At Reasonable Suspicion And Police Discretion, Kyle Mclean, Justin Nix, Seth W. Stoughton, Ian T. Adams, Geoffrey P. Alpert
Criminology and Criminal Justice Faculty Publications
Purpose
This study aims to demonstrate the need for further examination of legal judgments and the exercise of discretion in policing.
Design/methodology/approach
A factorial vignette survey with traffic stop scenarios based on US Court of Appeals decisions was administered to 396 police officers across six states. Officers were asked to indicate their assessment of the presence of reasonable suspicion and the likelihood that they would extend the stop for investigatory purposes.
Findings
Officers' reasonable suspicion judgments are significantly influenced by the vignette facts and align with court ruling expectations. However, even in the presence of reasonable suspicion, responses indicate a …
Victimization Prior To Jail: The Effect Of Physical And/Or Sexual Victimization On Mental Health And Substance Use Disorder In A Population Of Jailed Inmates, Melissa A. Kowalski, Michael Campagna, Emily Wright, Ryan E. Spohn
Victimization Prior To Jail: The Effect Of Physical And/Or Sexual Victimization On Mental Health And Substance Use Disorder In A Population Of Jailed Inmates, Melissa A. Kowalski, Michael Campagna, Emily Wright, Ryan E. Spohn
Reports
Previous research shows a link between abuse histories and negative outcomes, including a relationship between abuse victimization and mental illness and/or substance use disorder and between such victimization and criminal behavior. The relationship between abuse and offending or reoffending is likely indirect, working by way of mental illness and/or substance use disorder. However, the effects of these abuse experiences prior to incarceration as well as the impact of abuse perpetrator type and abuse timing on mental health and substance use outcomes have been underexplored in jail populations. The current analysis addresses this gap. From February 21st, 2017 to September 12th, …

Criss Library Faculty Proceedings & Presentations
In these increasingly post-pandemic and budgetary times, we at Archives and Special Collections are exploring dynamic ways of engaging audiences with our collection materials using resources, ie hardware and software that we have already or will require minimal costs.
One example of this, and the project I will be sharing about today, is an interactive exhibit of one of our collections that we display selected materials from on a large touch screen monitor located right outside the Archives and Special Collections department on the first floor of Criss Library.
In this presentation I will trace the history of how I …

Reports
The relationship between abuse and offending is likely indirect, by way of mental illness and/or substance use disorder. However, the effects of abuse experiences prior to incarceration, as well as the impact of abuse perpetrator type and abuse timing on mental health and substance use outcomes, are underexplored in jail populations. The current analysis addresses this gap. In 2017, an assessment with 79 questions was administered to 4,713 individuals admitted to a large, Midwestern jail. The majority of the population (72.3%) reported no history of abuse, but 17.5% indicated a history of physical abuse, 3.2% a history of sexual abuse, …

Does Gender Moderate The Relationship Between Surface Acting And Burnout?, Cynthia Kennedy
Does Gender Moderate The Relationship Between Surface Acting And Burnout?, Cynthia Kennedy
UNO Student Research and Creative Activity Fair
Burnout occurs when the workplace has chronic emotional and interpersonal stressors that trigger emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and feelings of incompetence. There is a gap in burnout literature on how experiences, systemic expectations, and coping behaviors differ between females and males. Previous research suggests that comparable behaviors in male and female employees elicit different reactions from their peers. As a result, attributes such as assertiveness, generally perceived as powerful for males, are seen as abrasive for females. This mindset creates an environment where females act in a way that society expects them to remain credible. Surface acting involves the regulation of …
Healthcare Facilities: Maintaining Accessibility While Implementing Security, Ryan Vilter
Healthcare Facilities: Maintaining Accessibility While Implementing Security, Ryan Vilter
UNO Student Research and Creative Activity Fair
In the wake of the Tulsa, Oklahoma hospital shooting in the summer of 2022, it was made clear that more security needed to be implemented in healthcare facilities. As a result, I inquired: What is the happy balance for healthcare facilities to maintain their accessibility to the public while also implementing security measures to prevent terrorist attacks? With that base, I give recommendations in the areas of cybersecurity, physical infrastructure, and physical and mental health, based off the existing literature and data gathered from terrorist attacks against hospitals over several decades.

Do Degrees Matter? Rethinking Workforce Development For Youth With Intellectual Disabilities And Mental Health Challenges, Susan Reay, William E. Reay, Kris Tevis, Lisa Patterson
Social Work Faculty Publications
The global workforce crisis significantly impacts how evidence-based treatment is provided to youth with developmental disabilities and co-occurring mental health conditions. Addressing the workforce crisis requires re-examining the long-standing methods of selecting individuals for employment based on academic degrees. This project offers an innovative workforce development option that provides specialized training to staff with advanced education degrees and staff with less education. The participants in this study were employed in a rural area of the USA within the mental health, child welfare, and correctional industries. All participants worked with youth experiencing intellectual disabilities and mental illness. Results indicated that participants …

Archival Collection Digitization: Great Plains Black History Museum, Wendy Guerra
Criss Library Faculty Proceedings & Presentations
The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) Libraries’ Archives and Special Collections formed a partnership with Omaha's Great Plains Black History Museum (GPBHM) to digitize a selection of their archival materials and host the collection on our Islandora instance. The partnership was designed as a pilot test for how UNO could partner with local institutions to help facilitate access to their unique holdings. We selected materials to temporarily transfer onsite for digitization last spring. We hired a student employee to arrange and describe, then begin digitizing materials relating to UNO's Department of Black Studies before expanding the scope to include …
