Classroom to Prison Cell: the relationship between school and youth offending...
The document discusses research on the relationship between school experiences and youth offending. It finds that there are 7 risk factors in the school experience that can contribute to students feeling alienated and lead them down a path to offending. These include inadequate school transitions, an unhealthy school climate, academic failure, negative peer and teacher relationships, mistreatment by school personnel, and abusive school policies. Interviews with young offenders found that their school experiences exacerbated existing risks and contributed to their sense of alienation. The research recommends better supporting at-risk students through early identification and intervention.
Moving Forward - Implementing a new way of working for youth justice - Chris ...
The document discusses issues with New Zealand's youth justice system in the late 1990s and early 2000s, including underperformance, lack of focus and consistency, and outdated facilities. In response, reforms were implemented, such as dedicated youth justice teams, new residences, and a renewed emphasis on rehabilitation. Challenges remain around recidivism rates, disproportionate Maori representation, and inter-agency collaboration. The strategic direction is to reduce reoffending through outcome-focused services and smarter partnerships between youth justice and other organizations.
YOSEC - Assessing how much of 'what works' programmes do - Kaye McLaren

The document describes a collaborative intervention program called Turning Point that addresses violent and antisocial behavior in young women and girls. The program involves one-on-one coaching with a female mentor, education programs for the young women and their families, family counseling, physical activity, school involvement, and community awareness. Initial outcomes included reduced strain on support systems, improved attitudes towards school, and increased self-esteem and social skills. Follow-ups found 70% employed or in school and improved family relationships two years later. The program is a collaborative effort between local organizations and police to provide gender-specific and trauma-informed intervention.
Violent offending by young people in New Zealand: 'Perception versus reality'...
This document discusses perceptions of youth violence in New Zealand. It finds that media portrayals of youth crime exaggerate the level of violence by focusing on individual cases without context. Official statistics show that while youth apprehensions for violence have increased in recent decades, violence offenses make up a small portion of total youth crimes. Public surveys also find that people generally overestimate youth crime levels and support harsh punishments despite a lack of understanding of trends and the youth justice system. The document advocates for prevention and rehabilitation approaches given risk factors for youth violence like behavioral issues, victimization, and substance abuse.

This document discusses perceptions of youth violence in New Zealand. It finds that media portrayals of youth crime exaggerate the level of violence by focusing on individual cases without context. Statistics show that while youth apprehensions for violence have increased in recent decades, violence offenses make up a small portion of total youth crimes. Public surveys find many people overestimate youth offending and favor punitive responses, but provide less punitive views when given more case information. The document advocates for good assessment of individual youth to determine appropriate interventions for reducing violence.

Breaking through the bars - The importance of early intervention with child o...
The document discusses early intervention approaches for child offenders. It notes that insecure attachment patterns formed in early childhood can influence children's behavior and increase the risk of offending. The current response focuses too much on punishment and not enough on underlying causes. An integrated framework is proposed to provide universal early support services and identify families needing intensive help, with the goal of preventing negative outcomes and reducing child offending.
Web Services Emissions 2006 Falke
1. The document discusses developing an "air emissions cyberinfrastructure" using web services to provide access to distributed emissions inventory data and analysis tools through standardized interfaces.
2. This would allow emissions data to remain controlled by their owners while still being accessible over the web. Users could find, access, and analyze data through a single portal without needing specialized software.

Interactive Analytics at Scale in Apache Hive Using Druid
Druid is an open-source analytics data store specially designed to execute OLAP queries on event data. Its speed, scalability and efficiency have made it a popular choice to power user-facing analytic applications, including multiple BI tools and dashboards. However, Druid does not provide important features requested by many of these applications, such as a SQL interface or support for complex operations such as joins. This talk presents our work on extending Druid indexing and querying capabilities using Apache Hive. In particular, our solution allows to index complex query results in Druid using Hive, query Druid data sources from Hive using SQL, and execute complex Hive queries on top of Druid data sources. We describe how we built an extension that brings benefits to both systems alike, leveraging Apache Calcite to overcome the challenge of transparently generating Druid JSON queries from the input Hive SQL queries. We conclude with a demo highlighting the performant and powerful integration of these projects.

Semantic HTML
The document discusses different methods for embedding semantic information in HTML pages, including microformats which use standard HTML tags and attributes to describe information, and RDFa which uses XML attributes to carry metadata. It provides examples of using microformats and RDFa to add semantic annotations and explores tools for processing and consuming these semantic data formats. The conclusion questions which technology, microformats or RDFa, web developers will embrace more in the future for adding semantics to web pages.
Geospatial Web
The document provides an introduction to geospatial web technologies and geographic information systems (GIS). It discusses how GIS allows users to store, manage, analyze and display geographic data. Key geospatial web technologies described include GML and KML for describing geographic data in XML formats, and WMS and WFS for sharing maps and geographic features as web services. The document also briefly mentions technologies for geotagging web resources with location data.
OpenSearch
OpenSearch is a specification that describes how to build search services for the open web. It uses XML to describe search services and publishes search results in RSS or Atom formats. Key features include autodiscovery of services, search result descriptions, and URL templates that clients use to compose search requests to the service. Many websites and browsers support OpenSearch to allow discovery and use of new search services.
RSS and Atom in the Social Web
RSS and Atom formats have evolved over time to support syndication of content on the social web. RSS is used to push updates and news to users, while Atom enables describing web resources with additional metadata. The Atom Publishing Protocol allows creating, reading, updating and deleting resources via HTTP and XML, powering applications like blogs and content management systems.
An Introduction to Ajax Programming
This document provides an introduction to Ajax programming, including what Ajax is, how it differs from traditional HTTP paradigms, the key components needed for Ajax (XHTML, JavaScript, CSS), how to use the DOM and XMLHttpRequest objects to send and receive data from the server without refreshing the page, examples using the MochiKit JavaScript library to simplify Ajax programming, common pitfalls to avoid like breaking the back button and accessibility issues, and how Ajax can be used to make web pages more interactive and responsive.
Machine Tags
Machine Tags allow users to describe custom properties and relate online resources using a syntax based on subject-predicate-object triples, enabling uses like geotagging photos, field-based search, and linking to semantic web data. However, Machine Tags have limitations in expressing complex object values and semantic relationships. The document discusses how the software gnizr implements Machine Tag support by detecting tags, looking up locations in an external database, and notifying listeners to process and store the tag information.
Web 2.0 Mashups
A mashup is a web application that combines data from multiple sources to create a new integrated application. Mashups are enabled by recent web technologies like Ajax, REST, XHTML, CSS and RSS that allow data to be dynamically pulled from different sources and presented in a unified way. While similar to earlier concepts like web portals and aggregators, mashups uniquely generate new information and experiences from existing data sources. Legal and business issues remain regarding rights to use third-party data and reliance on external data sources.
Gnizr Architecture (for developers)
The document discusses several design patterns used in the Gnizr architecture, including the Data Access Object (DAO) pattern, Inversion of Control (IoC), Singleton, and Interceptor patterns. It provides examples of how each pattern is implemented in Gnizr, such as how DAO classes abstract access to the database and how the Spring framework enables IoC through dependency injection configured via XML. It also covers how WebWork actions, results, and interceptors are used in Gnizr.
Folksonomy and Tagging in the Social Web
The document discusses the emergence of folksonomy and tagging in social web applications. It describes how folksonomy differs from traditional taxonomy in that it allows collaborative, uncontrolled tagging of user-generated content. The document also analyzes the cognitive processes involved in tagging and categorizing information, and presents different models of how tagging systems can be characterized based on factors such as who is allowed to tag resources and how tags and resources are connected.
Developing Java Web Applications
The document discusses several key technologies for developing Java web applications, including Java Servlet technology, WebWork framework, Spring framework, and Apache Maven build tool. It provides an overview of how each technology addresses common problems like stateless communication, business logic implementation, view generation, and data access overhead. Examples are given showing how WebWork and Spring can be used together with Maven to build a simple "Hello World" application that follows the MVC pattern and leverages dependency injection.
Inside Gnizr
Gnizr is a web-based information organizer that helps users find, bookmark, visualize and share information. It was developed under research projects funded by NGA and AFRL and draws inspiration from Web 2.0 apps, the Semantic Web, and mashups. Gnizr Enterprise is a commercial product by Image Matters that provides customized knowledge fusion and integration solutions using Gnizr's open source code. The demo shows gnizr in action with screenshots available on Flickr. Gnizr addresses challenges like knowledge integration from distributed data stores and new tools for effective knowledge retrieval, visualization, and sharing.
Social Web Technologies
The document discusses the history and key concepts of Web 2.0 and social web technologies. It introduces the differences between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0, noting that Web 2.0 focuses on user-generated content and harnessing collective intelligence. The class will cover how social web technologies can improve productivity and develop social applications, and will discuss topics like folksonomy, tagging, mashups, geospatial web, semantic web, and blogs. Homework includes engaging with social media sites and resources related to the class topics.
