Presentation at the HEA-funded workshop 'Making undergraduate social science count: engaging sociology and criminology students in quantitative research methods'.
This workshop aimed to encourage pedagogical reflection and debate on the teaching of quantitative methods to sociology/criminology undergraduates and provide delegates with opportunities for the sharing of best practice in this area. The event included dissemination of the outputs of two recent HEA-funded projects on teaching research methods in the social sciences. Delegates were also introduced to some new and existing quantitative datasets and resources and explore the potential for integrating these across the undergraduate curriculum.
This presentation is part of a related blog post that provides an overview of the event: http://bit.ly/1iBrVMR

Legalized Recreational Marijuana: Local vs. State Regulation and the Trump Ad...Meyers Nave
The Control, Regulate, and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act ("AUMA") creates a new licensing and regulatory structure for nonmedical marijuana activities and opens the door to a robust industry relating to recreational marijuana use in California. This webinar identifies and discusses lingering issues, both legal and practical, related to the implementation of AUMA.
The presenters address the status of state regulations for commercial nonmedical marijuana activities and discuss their impact on public agencies' ability to exercise local control. Additionally, the presenters cover common issues that have arisen regarding local regulation of marijuana related industries and creative solutions to address those issues. The presenters also review how the Trump Administration's marijuana policy may alter the status quo regarding federal enforcement.
Legal Compensation Explained: Stats Every Litigant Should Know Before They Suelawsuitlegal

Modern Nonviolent Resistance – a pixie anecdote – written by Ah’livia
The presentation evaluates current models of popular social justice and introduces a fresh alternative.
Presentation offers an innovatively simple outlook and suggestions on social justice and the Occupy Wall Street movement.
When we disagree with what is happening in our world we usually see two choices: (a) keep quiet and keep up a pretense of peace (b) disagree and risk burning bridges. Nonviolent communication provides a third option: share your own experience and ask for what is life-giving.
This talk explores the soft skill necessary to speak up in a nonviolent way. Learn to suspend judgement, feel your emotions, be vulnerable, ask for what you need and see the best in other people.

On-Body Cameras: Answering Tough Questions from Empirical and Legal StandardsBest Best and Krieger LLP
Best Best & Krieger attorney Jordan E.A. Ferguson delivered a presentation titled, "On-Body Cameras: Answering Tough Questions from Empirical and Legal Standards." In his presentation (below), Jordan discusses the promises and challenges of law enforcement use of body-worn cameras, establishing policies surrounding their use and the privacy, data retention and criminal justice issues that go along with them.
This seminar aims to give practical advice to those investigating and prosecuting regulatory offences. We also look at the new powers of the Magistrates and sentencing guidelines for regulatory offences to assist you in presenting cases to ensure meaningful penalties are imposed.
We will be covering:
• immediate challenges in the hours and days after an incident
• identifying the suspect
• preparing your case - admissible evidence
• effective use of compulsory powers
• interview under caution - disclosure, defence tactics and how to deal with them
• drafting effective case summaries and Friskies Schedules
• the reluctant defendant - basis of a guilty plea, unused material and costs
• sentencing - giving the court the tools to do the job - including Proceeds of Crime Act and the new sentencing guidelines for regulatory offences.
This session is delivered by experienced solicitor-advocates who have advised local authorities on a variety of criminal and regulatory investigations and prosecutions as well as prosecuting on behalf of a range of other regulators including the Health and Safety Executive. It is intended to supplement your existing knowledge and assist you in building stronger cases able to withstand scrutiny in the Magistrates and Crown Court.

B8 Cross-cultural and comparative victimologyVSE 2016
(Eva Mulder & Antony Pemberton, Intervict. Also representatives from APAV and LINC will participate in this workshop)
To what extent do cultural differences and diverse historical trajectories lead to different understandings, valuation and experiences of victimisation and the reaction to victimisation? This is the topic of a second workshop. It presents and discusses key findings from project IVOR (Implementing Victim-Oriented Reform of the Criminal Justice System in the European Union) which sought to ascertain the progress made in the development of the position of victims of crime across Europe. This project was led by APAV, in cooperation with INTERVICT, the Leuven Institute of Criminology (LINC) and VSE.
IVOR concerned three interrelated work-streams. The state of the art concerning the transposal of the EU-directive into legislation and practice, a review of the current empirical evidence base of the provisions of the Directive across Europe and an analysis of the different context in EU member states. The highlights of each of the results of the work-streams will be presented.
Subsequently we will invite participants to reflect with us, how given the diverse contexts in EU member states, and the relative lack of empirical research across large parts of the EU, we could best go about improving the position of victims, to achieve the Directive’s goal of minimum standards across the European Union. Can we advance on the current one-size-fits-all approach still underlying the EU’s efforts, and if so how?

An astonishing, first-of-its-kind, report by the NYT assessing damage in Ukraine. Even if the war ends tomorrow, in many places there will be nothing to go back to.
In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
