    Referring Youth in Juvenile Justice Settings to Mentoring Programs: Effective Strategies and Practices to Improving the Mentoring Experience for At-Risk and High-Risk Youth A RESOURCE COMPENDIUM CONTRIBUTING AUTHORS J. Mitchell Miller, Ph.D. Holly Ventura Miller, Ph.D. J.C. Barnes, Ph.D. Pamela A. Clark, National Partnership for Juvenile Services Michael A. Jones, National Partnership for Juvenile Services Ronald J. Quiros, National Partnership for Juvenile Services September 2012 Scott Bernard Peterson, Global Youth Justice A Findings and Implications of the Research A new study supported by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), U.S. Department of Justice, identifies effective practices and strategies to improve the mentoring experience for at-risk and high-risk youth who are involved in the juvenile justice system. Researching the Referral Stage of Youth Mentoring in Six Juvenile Justice Settings: An Exploratory Analysis examines best practices for referring youth to mentoring when they are in certain juvenile justice system settings, including Juvenile Detention, Juvenile Corrections, Juvenile Probation, Delinquency Court, Youth/Teen Court and Dependency Court. As a low-cost delinquency prevention and intervention option that capitalizes on the resources of local communities and caring individuals, mentoring has emerged as a promising delinquency reduction strategy for at-risk or high-risk youth. This research study, which used multiple methods to capture data from mentoring and juvenile justice settings, provides a deeper understanding of how youth are referred to mentoring, challenges faced during the referral process, examples of effective strategies to face the challenges and action steps. The research was conducted by a team that included Global Youth Justice, National Partnership for Juvenile Services, MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership and criminal justice researchers from the University of Texas at San Antonio.

    Nursing 1 Nursing For other uses, see Nursing (disambiguation). "Nurse" redirects here. For other uses, see Nurse (disambiguation). Nurse A British nurse caring for a baby in 2006 Occupation Names Nurse Occupation type Healthcare professional Activity sectors Nursing, Health care Description Competencies Caring for general well-being of patients Education required Qualifications in terms of statutory regulations according to national, state, or provincial legislation in each country Nursing is a profession within the health care sector focused on the care of individuals, families, and communities so they may attain, maintain, or recover optimal health and quality of life. Nurses may be differentiated from other health care providers by their approach to patient care, training, and scope of practice. Nurses practice in a wide diversity of practice areas with a different scope of practice and level of prescriber authority in each. Many nurses provide care within the ordering scope of physicians, and this traditional role has come to shape the historic public image of nurses as care providers. However, nurses are permitted by most jurisdictions to practice independently in a variety of settings depending on training level. In the postwar period, nurse education has undergone a process of diversification towards advanced and specialized credentials, and many of the traditional regulations and provider roles are changing. Nurses develop a plan of care, working collaboratively with physicians, therapists, the patient, the patient's family and other team members, that focuses on treating illness to improve quality of life. In the U.S. (and increasingly the United Kingdom), advanced practice nurses, such as clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners, diagnose health problems and prescribe medications and other therapies, depending on individual state regulations.

  • The Political Construction of Collective Insecurity: from Moral Panic To
    Center for European Studies Working Paper Series 126 (October 2005) The Political Construction of Collective Insecurity: From Moral Panic to Blame Avoidance and Organized Irresponsibility by Daniel Béland Department of Sociology University of Calgary 2500 University Drive NW Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2N 1N4 Fax: (403) 282-9298 E-mail: [email protected]; web page: http://www.danielbeland.org/ Abstract This theoretical contribution explores the role of political actors in the social construction of collective insecurity. Two parts comprise the article. The first one briefly defines the concept of collective insecurity and the second one bridges existing sociological and political science literatures relevant for the analysis of the politics of insecurity. This theoretical framework articulates five main claims. First, although interesting, the concept of moral panic applies only to a limited range of insecurity episodes. Second, citizens of contemporary societies exhibit acute risk awareness and, when new collective threats emerge, the logic of “organized irresponsibility” often leads citizens and interest groups alike to blame elected officials. Third, political actors mobilize credit claiming and blame avoidance strategies to respond to these threats in a way that enhances their position within the political field. Fourth, powerful interests and institutional forces as well as the “threat infrastructure” specific to a policy area create constraints and opportunities for these strategic actors. Finally, their behavior is proactive or reactive, as political actors can either help push a threat onto the agenda early, or, at a later stage, simply attempt to shape the perception of this threat after other forces have transformed it into a major political issue.

    Updated April 14, 2020 Metro FAQ | Temporary telework policy Metro has updated the temporary telework policy effective April 13, 2020. To support public health, the temporary policy provides for all employees who can telework to do so, including regular status, variable hour and temporary employees, and those on probation. IN THIS DOCUMENT - Overview of temporary telework policy - Frequently asked questions POLICY OVERVIEW Approvals and standards for work Telework agreements are not required by Human Resources or Information Services in the temporary telework policy.

Existing performance and conduct standards apply for telework. You may be asked to track work hours and provide regular updates to your supervisor on tasks, projects and work objectives. Equipment and Metro work products and records Work products and communications like emails, even those on a personal computer, are Metro documents and should be saved and handled to meet public records law.

Regulation 34 CFR 668.43 (a) (5) (v) will require the nursing program to provide: a list of all states/jurisdictions where the institution's curriculum meets state educational requirements for professional licensure or certification, a list of all states/jurisdictions where the institution's curriculum does not meet state educational requirements for professional licensure or certification, and a list of all states/jurisdictions where the institution has not made a determination of whether the curriculum meets educational requirements. Additionally, a direct disclosure to the student in writing is required in regulation 34 CFR 668.43(c) by the education institution if the program leading to professional licensure or certification falls in one of the latter two categories above.
