Small Arms Survey 2008: Risk and Risilience
•
1 like•331 views
The document summarizes the work of the Small Arms Survey, an independent research institute that studies issues related to small arms and armed violence. It uses a public health approach to identify risk and resilience factors for violence at different levels, from the individual to society. Known risk factors span individual traits and circumstances, family relationships, peers, and broader community and social influences that can increase the likelihood of engaging in or becoming a victim of violence.

Detrimental Effects Of Zero Tolerance Policies On Childhood Development
Zero-tolerance policies in schools were intended to address serious offenses like gun possession but now are used more broadly. The APA task force found these policies may increase misbehavior and suspend students who then predict higher future misbehavior. Studies also show zero-tolerance can psychologically harm students by labeling them as deviant and damaging self-esteem, while ignoring normal adolescent development processes. More research is needed on how these policies obstruct elementary students' development and affect later adult behavior.

This document discusses the issue of landmines, including their usage, effects, and efforts to address the problems they cause. It notes that landmines were first widely used in World War 2 and have since killed far more civilians after conflicts than soldiers during wars. Several countries like Afghanistan and Iran remain heavily affected by landmines, with millions of hectares of land contaminated. Efforts are being made to ban landmine use and neutralize affected areas, but this faces challenges due to the high risks and costs involved.

The document discusses a multinational injury surveillance pilot project in Africa from 2006-2007 that aimed to collect injury data across multiple countries on factors like cause, context, and victim demographics. The project found that data collection completeness gradually increased over time. Interpersonal violence made up 64.5% of injuries and data showed details on factors like the age, sex, location and mechanisms of these violent incidents. The project demonstrates the value of injury surveillance systems for understanding problems and informing prevention strategies.
Aiming for the Right Thing: Collaboration for Armed Violence Prevention
The document discusses collaboration for armed violence prevention. It argues that violence is socially determined and requires acting on social determinants through collaboration across sectors. Research shows that inequality is socially corrosive and associated with greater violence. Examples from Diadema, Brazil and early childhood intervention programs demonstrate success in violence prevention through multilevel interventions addressing individual, relationship, community, and societal factors. Challenges to collaboration include balancing coordination with differing perspectives and developing models to bridge gaps across levels and practice environments.

This document discusses the role of public health in preventing violence. It argues that violence should be viewed as a public health problem and that the public health community has neglected this role. It makes three key points:
1) The public health community should be more interested in violence prevention and promote the evidence base for effective crime and violence prevention strategies.
2) Public health directors should provide leadership for local crime and violence prevention partnerships and agendas.
3) The police are interested in evidence-based approaches to crime prevention and public policy.
The document provides information on the magnitude of violence as a global public health issue, risk factors, and evidence for effective primary, secondary and tertiary prevention strategies. It emphasizes

Media Violence Does Not Cause Violent Behaviors
The document discusses media and entertainment's influence on societal violence rates. It presents evidence from various studies on the relationship between media violence and real-world violence. However, the evidence presented is mostly lower levels of evidence including expert opinions and descriptive studies rather than high-quality experimental research. The document concludes that parents are ultimately responsible for protecting young children and monitoring what media influences they are exposed to.

1) The study examined the relationship between adolescents' intentional exposure to pornography and sexually aggressive behavior. It found that about 1 in 5 youth reported exposure to non-violent pornography, while 1 in 20 reported exposure to violent pornography.
2) Exposure to non-violent pornography was not associated with increased in-person sexual assault, and may have a protective effect. However, it was linked to increased technology-based sexual harassment.
3) Exposure to violent pornography was strongly associated with increased odds of both technology-based and in-person sexual aggression. The data suggest that violent pornography exposure could increase the risk of peer-to-peer sexual victimization among adolescents.Co-Occurring Risk Behaviors During Adolescence

Jeffrey Jenson presented on promoting healthy child and adolescent development through prevention programs and policies. He discussed the evolution of prevention approaches in the US, from ineffective fear-based programs in the 1960s-70s to evidence-based social learning and cognitive behavioral programs developed in the 1980s. Jenson promoted adopting a public health framework using risk and protective factors to inform prevention strategies. He concluded prevention science shows many programs are effective and one health could help apply prevention worldwide to promote well-being in young people.Criminal Behavior in Your Community HW.docx
The document discusses adolescent substance abuse as a criminal behavior. It describes typical perpetrators as juveniles between certain ages, and outlines individual risk factors like gender, race, and socioeconomic status that may contribute to substance abuse. The document also compares criminal and civil legal systems in terms of penalties, burden of proof, and key players involved. Furthermore, it proposes addressing this issue through prevention and intervention programs focused on strengthening protective factors and reducing risks in schools, families, and communities.
Preventing SV, Berlin2016
The document discusses strategies for preventing sexual violence (SV) on college campuses based on a public health approach. It proposes implementing a multi-level SV prevention strategy called STOP SV across individual, relationship, community and societal levels. This would include bystander intervention programs, social norms campaigns, and creating protective environments through policies. The target population is college students, with challenges including the high-risk environment. Implementation requires involvement from public health, education and other sectors. Outcomes would be measured through evaluations of SV incidence rates and knowledge gains.
Addiction Risk And Protective Factors
This document discusses risk and protective factors for substance abuse from individual, peer, family, school, and community levels. It identifies factors such as low self-esteem, inappropriate coping skills, peer drug use, family history of drug abuse, academic failure, and drug availability as increasing risk, while bonding to pro-social values, social competence, clear family rules, school commitment, and community involvement reduce risk. The document advocates a multidisciplinary approach incorporating available community resources to prevent co-occurring disorders.

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY AND THEORY APPLICATION 2
Criminal justice in the United States is facing significant challenges based on an
increasing rate of criminal offending. Juvenile delinquency is a significant problem within the
United States, which creates a disproportional system that is unable to maintain a stronger
understanding of positive behavior. Juvenile delinquency has been a considerable challenge
within law enforcement. These are young individuals under 18 years who are involved in
offending. Involvement in crime presents a difficult platform where these children can lead a
positive life. The wellbeing of juveniles within the society is based on different factors that
help ensure there are stronger societal concerns that define the development in society.
Juvenile delinquency defines a difficult development among individuals within the
society, considering that most young individuals do not concentrate on their education but are
easily influenced by the existing negative behavior in society. This paper presents a detailed
understanding of juvenile delinquency and the use of routine activity theory in explaining the
development of juvenile delinquency within the community as well as develop better
strategies that can help improve the wellbeing of young individuals within the society.
The contemporary challenge
The number of individuals less than 18 years being involved in crime is increasing
significantly within the country, which provides the need to develop a proper understanding
of the underlying reasons. Child development is a structured process that emphasizes
positive behavior and the development of better counter-measures that solve any glaring
negative behavioral traits that a child might develop with. The inability to control negative
traits influence the chances of offending among young individuals. This means that a child's
background is essential in defining a stronger approach to the existing behavioral and
psychological challenges (Matza & Sykes, 2017).

Risk and protective Factors using Drugs.pptx
This document discusses risk and protective factors for drug use across different domains of life: personal, family, peers/friends, school, and community. Risk factors increase the chances of drug use and include things like early drug experimentation, association with drug-using peers, poor academic performance, and easy community access to drugs. Protective factors decrease drug use risks, such as strong parental guidance, connection to non-drug using friends, good academic performance, and positive community programs/attitudes against drugs. The document provides examples of specific risk and protective factors in each of these life domains.
ARGEC: Elder abuse and maltreatment
Elder abuse is a widespread problem affecting millions of older Americans each year. It most often occurs at the hands of family caregivers and goes unreported. Common types of elder abuse include physical, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse as well as neglect. Those at highest risk tend to be females over 80 with physical or cognitive impairments. Screening tools can help identify abuse, while interventions aim to increase awareness, reporting, and support for victims and their caregivers. Adult protective services investigate reports of abuse and provide assistance.
