A Systematic Review Protocol for Crime Trends Facilitated by Synthetic Biology Mariam Elgabry1,2 , Darren Nesbeth2 and Shane D
Elgabry et al. Systematic Reviews (2020) 9:22 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13643-020-1284-1 PROTOCOL Open Access A systematic review protocol for crime trends facilitated by synthetic biology Mariam Elgabry1,2 , Darren Nesbeth2 and Shane D. Johnson1* Abstract Background: When new technologies are developed, it is common for their crime and security implications to be overlooked or given inadequate attention, which can lead to a ‘crime harvest’. Potential methods for the criminal exploitation of biotechnology need to be understood to assess their impact, evaluate current policies and interventions and inform the allocation of limited resources efficiently. Recent studies have illustrated some of the security implications of biotechnology, with outcomes of misuse ranging from compromised computers using malware stored in synthesised DNA, infringement of intellectual property on biological matter, synthesis of new threatening viruses, ‘genetic genocide,’ and the exploitation of food markets with genetically modified crops. However, there exists no synthesis of this information, and no formal quality assessment of the current evidence. This review therefore aims to establish what current and/or predicted crimes have been reported as a result of biotechnology. Methods: A systematic review will be conducted to identify relevant literature. ProQuest, Web of Science, MEDLINE and USENIX will be searched utilizing a predefined search string, and Backward and Forward searches. Grey literature will be identified by searching the official UK Government website (www.gov.uk) and the Global database of Dissertations and Theses. The review will be conducted by screening title/abstracts followed by full texts, utilising pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Papers will be managed using Eppi-center Reviewer 4 software, and data will be organised using a data extraction table using a descriptive coding tool.

A Systematic Review of the Effectiveness of the Electronic Monitoring of Offenders
Journal of Criminal Justice 68 (2020) 101686 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Journal of Criminal Justice journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/jcrimjus A systematic review of the effectiveness of the electronic monitoring of T offenders ⁎ Jyoti Belura, , Amy Thorntona, Lisa Tompsona, Matthew Manningb, Aiden Sidebottoma, Kate Bowersa a Department of Security and Crime Science, University College London, 35 Tavistock Square, London WC1H 9EZ, UK b College of Arts and Social Sciences, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Objective: This paper reports the findings of a systematic review on the effectiveness of Electronic Monitoring Electronic monitoring (EM) on reducing recidivism. It identifies mechanisms through which EM is expected to produce reductions in EMMIE recidivism rates, under what conditions, and at what cost. Reoffending Methods: Eligible studies were identified through a search strategy and quality appraised. The review uniquely Recidivism combines findings of a meta-analysis alongside a realist-inspired qualitative synthesis. Meta-analysis Results: 34 studies met our inclusion criteria. Meta-analytic results from 18 studies found that although overall Systematic review Logic models the effect of EM on recidivism was favourable, heterogeneity between studies meant that the effect wassig- nificant for studies using hazard ratios but non-significant for those using proportional data. Findings indicated statistically significant reductions in recidivism for sex offenders; when EM is compared to the alternative of prison; and in European settings. Situational and behavioural mechanisms that might plausibly reduce re- cidivism were identified. EM is cheaper than prison but more expensive than ordinary probation orparole. Conclusions: The study illustrates the complexity of implementing EM.

A Guide to Camden's Parks and Open Spaces
A Guide to Camden’s Parks and Open Spaces Contents Kilburn, West Hampstead, Swiss Cottage and Primrose Hill 2 Gospel Oak, Hampstead, Highgate and Kentish Town 7 Camden Town, Somers Town, Bloomsbury, Holborn and Fitzrovia 12 Useful contacts and how to get involved 21 Alphabetical list of parks, addresses, features and travel details 27 Index 32 1 Introduction Camden Council manages nearly 70 parks and open spaces. They range from small neighbourhood playgrounds to grand city squares, historic graveyards to allotments. These oases dotted throughout the Borough, complement the bigger and somewhat better known areas that the Council does not manage, such as Hampstead Heath, Primrose Hill and Regents Park. In recent years Camden has spent a good deal of money improving its parks and open spaces. In addition, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, over £5 million has been spent on restoring five historic parks (Hampstead Cemetery, Russell Square, St George’s Gardens, St Pancras’ Gardens and Waterlow Park). We have increased the numbers of gardeners and attendants in parks – please let them know what you think of our service, you can identify them by their uniforms. In addition we have Parks Officers on duty every day of the year, backed up by a mobile security patrol. As well as managing public parks, the Parks and Open Spaces Service looks after the Borough’s trees, runs the allotment service and manages a number of large grounds maintenance contracts for other Council departments. We also lead on the Camden Biodiversity Action Plan. We would like you to think of this Guide as a welcoming invitation to Camden’s parks and open spaces.

ORIENTATION HANDBOOK New Student Orientation & Enrolment Programme September 2008
School of Oriental and African Studies ORIENTATION HANDBOOK New Student Orientation & Enrolment Programme September 2008 Important !!! you in September Please bring this document with DIRECTOR’S WELCOME WELCOME I am very pleased to welcome all new students to SOAS. It is a very special place indeed, concerned with the places that matter in the 21st century (Africa, Asia and the Middle East) and the issues that matter (such as human rights, poverty reduction and globalisation, to name just three). It is full of passionate people who care about the world, who want to understand it and through understanding to change it. I’ve been at SOAS for two years now and have never regretted making the move. It is amazingly diverse, a very friendly place and incredibly stimulating. I am certain that you will enjoy your time here. It won’t always be easy – your preconceptions will be challenged and our programmes make serious demands on students – but it should be inspirational and enjoyable. One of our undergraduates wrote this year that “SOAS is such an addictive place – I may return in a few years either for my Masters or just a language course”. She’s right. So as well as welcoming you now, I look forward to welcoming you back to SOAS in the future!
