This document summarizes several sociological theories of crime, including social structure theories, social process theories, and conflict theories. It then focuses on social structure theories like social disorganization theory, strain theory, and culture conflict theory. Social structure theories examine the impact of institutional arrangements and social processes on socialization and behavior. Strain theory proposes that pressure to achieve socially approved goals but lack of access to legitimate means can result in crime. Culture conflict theory suggests crime stems from clashes in values over proper behavior.
Crime Analytics: Analysis of crimes through news paper articlesChamath Sajeewa
Crime analysis is one of the most important
activities of the majority of the intelligent and law enforcement
organizations all over the world. Generally they collect domestic
and foreign crime related data (intelligence) to prevent future
attacks and utilize a limited number of law enforcement
resources in an optimum manner. A major challenge faced by
most of the law enforcement and intelligence organizations is
efficiently and accurately analyzing the growing volumes of crime
related data. The vast geographical diversity and the complexity
of crime patterns have made the analyzing and recording of
crime data more difficult. Data mining is a powerful tool that can
be used effectively for analyzing large databases and deriving
important analytical results. This paper presents an intelligent
crime analysis system which is designed to overcome the above
mentioned problems. The proposed system is a web-based system
which comprises of crime analysis techniques such as hotspot
detection, crime comparison and crime pattern visualization. The
proposed system consists of a rich and simplified environment
that can be used effectively for processes of crime analysis.

“What Worries the World” is a monthly online survey of adults aged under 65 in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Britain, Germany, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Peru, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United States. It finds that the majority of people across 25 countries think that their country is on the wrong track (62% on average), remaining unchanged from last month. Meanwhile, the three biggest worries for global citizens are unemployment, financial and political corruption, and poverty and inequality.
This is a clear and comprehensive approach to crime prevenGrazynaBroyles24
This is a clear and comprehensive approach to crime prevention. The focus of the book is applied and practical, which makes it ideal for the
classroom. The new edition provides an excellent in-depth coverage of what works in crime prevention, and how prevention programs are
evaluated to assess their impact on crime and fear of victimization. It is an essential resource for both students and practitioners.
Jonathan Kremser, Kutztown University
This book, in comparison to others I have seen, offers the widest coverage regarding the different possible approaches to crime prevention—it
addresses strategies as diverse as environmental design, block-watch initiatives, media-driven public service announcements, community-
oriented policing, correctional rehabilitation, and many, many more. As such, it provides students with the foundation for an impressive
breadth of knowledge regarding crime prevention.
Pamela Wilcox, University of Cincinnati
I have used Professor Lab’s text on crime prevention and found that his crime prevention typology is great for the classroom. Grouping
tactics by primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention allows students to really think about some of the underlying factors driving these
crimes and gives them some basis for critiquing the initial efficacy of a program. This text is great for students and professionals alike.

Crime Prevention
Crime Prevention: Approaches, Practices, and Evaluations, Ninth Edition, meets the needs of students and
instructors for engaging, evidence-based, impartial coverage of the origins of crime, as well as of public policy
that can reduce or prevent deviance. The book examines a range of approaches to preventing crime and
elucidates their respective goals. Strategies include primary prevention measures designed to prevent
conditions that foster deviance; secondary prevention measures directed toward persons or conditions with a
high potential for deviance; and tertiary prevention measures to deal with persons who have already
committed crimes.
This edition provides research and information on all aspects of crime prevention, including the physical
environment and crime, neighborhood crime prevention programs, community policing, crime in schools, and
electronic monitoring and home confinement. Lab offers a thorough and well-rounded discussion of the many
sides of the crime prevention debate, in clear and accessible language.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
