FOREWORD – 3 Foreword We are pleased to provide the foreword to this policy paper on armed violence reduction, which was developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development – Development Assistance Committee (OECD-DAC). 740 000 people die as a result of armed violence each year and it also seriously undermines the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals. This policy paper on armed violence reduction, prepared over a two-year period through a process supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Kingdom, amongst other members, will help the development community understand the dynamics of armed violence and what we can do about it. The United Nations Secretary-General will submit a report on the links between armed violence and development to the General Assembly by the end of 2009. Further political momentum is being provided by the Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence and Development which now commits the 103 signatory States to achieve measurable reductions in armed violence. This OECD policy paper provides practical support to these initiatives by setting out how good words can be turned into good programmes to help reduce armed violence globally. The paper outlines a number of significant emerging trends. Conflict and crime are increasingly linked. Levels of armed violence are a severe challenge in many non-conflict countries. Increasing youth populations in the global South and the emergence of ungoverned urban spaces and youth gangs are a growing reality in many parts of the world. Alongside this, there are increasing links between local, national, regional and global security, for example through the trafficking of drugs, arms or people. Donors have given relatively little attention to these issues as compared to conflict or war. Compounding this, most donor organisations are set up to respond at national, not local or regional, levels. The paper provides the methodology which helps donors tackle the challenges outlined above. It builds on existing frameworks, approaches and ARMED VIOLENCE REDUCTION: ENABLING DEVELOPMENT – ISBN 978-92-64-06015-9 – © OECD 2009 4 – FOREWORD lessons learned from security sector reform, as well as conflict and crime prevention. The innovation in this paper is the focus on the victims and perpetrators of armed violence and the institutional and cultural environment that allows violence to flourish. We believe this broader approach will provide useful guidance in addressing the root causes of armed violence and the motivations of perpetrators. The paper provides useful signposts for assessments and programming. It reveals the value of combining a variety of assessment methodologies, including public health assessments, to better access information and understand people’s views. The paper also puts forward two main approaches: direct programming that aims to prevent and reduce armed violence, and indirect programming whereby existing sector-specific strategies and interventions are adapted to address known risk factors that contribute to armed violence. In addition, the paper highlights the benefits to be gained by bringing together development, political, military, policing and diplomatic efforts. We encourage policy advisors at all levels and programme staff on the ground in countries with armed violence problems to read and assimilate this paper. This would help underpin growing OECD work on armed violence reduction, which we support and welcome.

It outlines: • How armed violence undermines development, whether in conflict, post- conflict or non-conflict contexts. • The emerging patterns and trends in armed violence, including the grow- ing overlaps between conflict and crime, and the resulting programming gaps. • How development practitioners on the ground can combine different assessment methods and programming responses for more effective interventions to reduce and prevent armed violence. • How emerging approaches to armed violence reduction and prevention (AVR) service the broader goals of state-building, peacebuilding and development through their explicit focus on strengthening the legitimacy and resilience of state-society relations. • The need to reinforce whole-of-government responses that synchronise development, political, military, policing and diplomatic efforts. Overall, the paper signposts how development programming is evolving to respond to the emerging landscapes of underdevelopment and insecurity. It lays the foundation for the future development of operational and programmatic guidelines for armed violence reduction. This policy paper was conceived primarily for OECD-DAC donors and development practitioners,

    Incurable Psychopaths? Marianne Kristiansson, MD Treatment, comprising pharmacotherapy and an educational program based on cognitive behavior therapy, of four psychopathic, criminal men fulfilling the crite- ria for borderline personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder is de- scribed. The diagnoses were made during a forensic psychiatric evaluation. An estimation of the capacity of the central serotonergic system was performed by analysing the platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity. The pharmacotherapy was combined with an educational program involving strategies for developing better impulse control. All four men had earlier been regarded as resistant to conventional therapy. In the present cases, a combined psychosocial and biolog- ical approach seemed to be effective in developing an increased control of im- pulses, leading to improved coping strategies. Controlled studies are needed in order to clarify whether the described treatment program proves beneficial.

  • Workplace Bullying: Ignoring the Behavior Is the Same As Condoning the Behavior
    Journal of Management and Marketing Research Volume 21 Workplace bullying: ignoring the behavior is the same as condoning the behavior Dr. Jillian R. Yarbrough West Texas A&M University ABSTRACT Workplace bullying can be challenging to identify and even more difficult to manage and decades of research indicate incidences of workplace mistreatment are increasing on a global scale. Research conducted by the Workplace Bullying Institute found that about 50% of employee’s report experiencing bullying in the workplace. Bullying behaviors result in damage to the targets, bystanders, perpetrators and the organization itself. Managers must not only understand the hostile behaviors but be prepared to address them. Managers that choose to turn a blind eye to workplace bullying are choosing a departmental path that will result in loss of employees, productivity, efficiency and/or morale. The following paper will discuss workplace bullying definitions, statistics, literature and finally suggestions for management strategies that will contribute to the elimination or minimization of bullying in the workplace.

In 2011, a survey conducted by The Society for Human Resource Management found 51% of employees had experienced bullying in the workplace and in a 2014 survey, The Workplace Bullying Institute reported that 50% of employees had experience harassment in the workplace.
