Many people question if women went into the war because of patriotism or because they lacked other opportunities. Women responded to the call differently depending on age, race, class, marital status, and number of children. They switch from lower-paying female jobs to higher-paying factory jobs. While patriotism influenced women,

According to the Wounded Warrior Project website, a survey in 2014 revealed that 34.9 percent of the Wounded Warrior alumni population experienced worse financial status than in 2013. According to the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, 14.2 percent of veterans between the ages of 18-34 are in poverty. The majority of the 14.2 percent will have a child that the veteran will be struggling to maintain his or her cost of living. In addition to the poverty rates, 30.2 percent of female veterans that have children are either widowed, divorced/separated, or never married, as reported by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans Affairs also reports the median income with female veterans is $53,998 and $55,297 for male veterans, and between male and female veterans, 10.5 percent of all households are without income. All of these facts come to the same conclusion: veterans need our

The population of interest, based on the aforementioned research question is, female combat veterans. For the purpose of this research, this is narrowed down to female service members, more specifically of the Army, who have previously been activated in support of an operation in said combat zone. Participants must have received combat benefits, such as hostile fire pay to fall within the realm of the veteran interest group.

The objective of this thesis is to provide comprehensive information to all stakeholders who have an interest in enhancing minority recruitment and selection. The goal of this thesis is to address law enforcement professionals about the importance of diversifying police agencies; more importantly, is to address the underrepresentation of Asian-American police officers and the challenges of recruiting potential candidates from Asian communities. Through community policing, mediation, trust building, collaboration with stakeholders, and cultural diversity training, law enforcement agencies will achieve its recruiting and diversity goals. Targeting Asian cultural events, partnering up with higher learning institutions, and sending mass emails regarding job opportunities to criminal justice majors could produce students’ interests and desires to pursue a career in law enforcement (Castaneda & Ridgeway, 2010). Recruitment issues and needs will be examined; moreover, the importance of evaluating implemented strategies must be followed up in order to monitor community changes or problems that may arise (Tangel, 2015).

Diversity recruitment is vital to any organization, especially that of a law enforcement agency. Many police departments across Missouri are struggling to maintain a workforce that is equally as diverse at the community it serves. According to The Police Chief magazine, one of the most effective recruitment techniques to achieve a diverse police force is to generate a positive perception of police within the community. (Pearsall & Kohlhepp, 2016)

Within the last ten years, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has begun to measure and collect data on gender-neutral health screenings to determine if there were any gender specific health disparities among the veteran population. The findings of the study showed some significant disparities between sexes. In an article recently written by Whitehead, Czarnogorski, Wright, Hayes, & Haskell (2014), and published in the American Journal of Public Health, disparities among women veterans were explored as well as the statistical data surrounding the inequities analyzed. There is an urgency needed in addressing these health disparities among women veterans, as they are the fastest growing new population within the VA health

I am a student with a unique passion to help Military Veterans returning from the war and there will be a growing need for counselors in the military as they begin to return from war. This program will require a great amount of personal commitment and I am willing to make the necessary sacrifices. Argosy is choosing a qualified candidate who will take this program seriously and professionally.

The disproportion between the police and the general population highlights a problem with the hiring techniques and practices of law enforcement agencies. Under the direction of President Barack Obama, the Department of Justice in 2016 issued a report outlining how police can modify their human resource management techniques to recruit and retain officers of diverse backgrounds. The report reviews several tactics by which police forces can try to diversify. The Department of Justice identifies progress made in recent years within certain agencies while also highlighting areas that may be attributing to the lack of diversity and workable solutions to these roadblocks. The areas focused on by the DOJ are within police departments process of recruitment and selection and how modifications may lead to more diversity and inclusion of what are currently underrepresented groups.

Over the past few years, there has been huge discussions when the topic of equality for women who have joined the military is being brought up. Being that gender equality is a big thing in the military now, I decided to chose this topic and discuss how I feel about it. According to the United States constitution, all men are created equal and this does not exclude women. One of the main things I learned is that equality for women in the military is a major issue. There should be no gender inequality in the United States military period. Most jobs are now open to women that were once allowed for only a man to do but when it comes to something such as the military, it should have always been that way No one should be told they can’t do something when it requires fighting for your country. Even back when men were drafted in the military, women should have been able to get drafted as well. You would think the military would take any and everybody that is willing to fight for his or her country simply because it would make our job easier as a whole. Frequently, women are stereotyped as feeble and incapable of doing certain things. Nevertheless, this should not be applied in any kind of career, particularly in the military.

Hi, Billy, what you discussed made me think about the challenges that Law Enforcement Officers are facing as far as recruiting, and retention have its completion. There are a growing number of private armed security companies that's provided jobs to individuals who may qualify as a law enforcement officer. The standards are so high that judgmental prosecution question a unique ability for a person who provides safety to the public. It makes you wonder if security companies are performing a federal background check. This individual qualifies for a state license to carry a firearm, but due to their health, weight, education, age, history, moral ethics, and oral interview may disqualify them as law enforcement officers. Look around some of the

Women have fought alongside men in the United States Military in every major battle since the American Revolution. The roles of women in the military have evolved over time to allow the incorporation of women in expanding military career fields. Women have proven themselves to be an asset to the military despite some of society believing women would weaken America’s military effectiveness. Today more than 200,000 women are active-duty military, this is about 14.5% of all military. Currently, women are involved in all branches of the Armed Forces; there are around 74,000 women in the Army, 62,000 in the Air Force, 53,000 in the Navy, and 14,000 in the Marine Corps (By the numbers: Women in the U.S. Military). Military women continue to

There are even 1.6 million women as military veterans; another 164,000 currently serve in the military (accomplishments that would otherwise have been considered bizarre).

My experiences in research and community service have molded my policy interests and prepared me for my graduate education in policy formulation and analysis. My joint research paper on the lives of women veterans in the U.S.
