Abstract/Description
The 3MT® competition celebrates the exciting research conducted by graduate students. Developed by The University of Queensland (UQ), the exercise cultivates students’ academic, presentation, and research communication skills. The competition supports their capacity to effectively explain their research in three minutes, in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. The first 3MT® competition was held at the University of Queensland in 2008 with 160 students competing. In 2009 and...

Developed by The University of Queensland (UQ), the exercise cultivates students’ academic, presentation, and research communication skills. The competition supports their capacity to effectively explain their research in three minutes, in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. The first 3MT® competition was held at the University of Queensland in 2008 with 160 students competing. In 2009 and 2010 the 3MT® competition was promoted to other Australian and New Zealand universities and enthusiasm for the concept grew. Since 2011, the popularity of the competition has increased and 3MT® competitions are now held in over 170 universities across more than 18 countries worldwide.

Potential Influences of Rape Myth Acceptance in Police Judgement
Title
Potential Influences of Rape Myth Acceptance in Police Judgement.
Creator
Branscum, Caralin, Carreno-Lukasik, Gina, Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry
Abstract/Description
I explore the influence and potential effects of rape myth acceptance on police decision making, specifically the likelihood that an officer recommends that a case goes to court. From officers’ perspectives, notable characteristics of “legitimate” cases are identified. Next, the relationship between a case’s legitimacy and acceptance of specific rape myths are analyzed. A conclusion that can be drawn is that, police officers endorse few rape myths that affect their judgement in recommending...
Show moreI explore the influence and potential effects of rape myth acceptance on police decision making, specifically the likelihood that an officer recommends that a case goes to court. From officers’ perspectives, notable characteristics of “legitimate” cases are identified. Next, the relationship between a case’s legitimacy and acceptance of specific rape myths are analyzed. A conclusion that can be drawn is that, police officers endorse few rape myths that affect their judgement in recommending cases. However, another study demonstrates that cases that do not go to court also correlate with negative experiences between the victim and officer. I explore a possible explanation that would suggest rape myth acceptance plays a more influential role in policing than previous studies suggest. Lastly, I conclude with general weaknesses in existing literature as well as potential areas of further study.

Abstract/Description
Human trafficking is a heinous human rights violation, impacting as many as 40.3 million people around the globe (Global Slavery Index, 2018). In the United States of America (USA), the Trafficking Victims Protections Act of 2000 (TVPA), and its subsequent reauthorizations, comprise the bulk of the federal response to human trafficking. As a result, federal policies have received a lot of praise and scrutiny in the literature. However, less is known about statewide legislative efforts to...
Show moreHuman trafficking is a heinous human rights violation, impacting as many as 40.3 million people around the globe (Global Slavery Index, 2018). In the United States of America (USA), the Trafficking Victims Protections Act of 2000 (TVPA), and its subsequent reauthorizations, comprise the bulk of the federal response to human trafficking. As a result, federal policies have received a lot of praise and scrutiny in the literature. However, less is known about statewide legislative efforts to combat human trafficking. To fill this gap, the current study analyzes state human trafficking statutes through content analysis. Overall, state legislation could best be described as a hodge-podge of laws related to three themes: 1) conceptualizing human trafficking, 2) victim centeredness, and 3) perpetrator centeredness. Accordingly, several recommendations are made that would reduce inconsistency and increase implementation of evidence-based policy.
