This burden is unequally distributed, and 9 of 10 homicide deaths in the Region occur in low- and middle-income countries. Irrespective of country income, interpersonal violence disproportionately affects young people from deprived sections of society and males, who comprise 4 of 5 homicide deaths. Numerous biological, social, cultural, economic and environmental factors interact to increase young people’s risk of being involved in violence and knife-related crime. Factors that can protect against violence developing among young people include good social skills, self-esteem, academic achievement, strong bonds with parents, positive peer groups, good attachment to school, community involvement and access to social support. Good evidence indicates that reducing risk factors and enhancing protective factors will reduce violence among young people. The experience accumulated by several countries in the Region and elsewhere shows that social policy and sustained and systematic approaches that address the underlying causes of violence can make countries in the Region much safer. These make compelling arguments for advocating for increased investment in prevention and for mainstreaming objectives for preventing violence among young people into other areas of health and social policy.

The first successful tanks were used during World War I by the British, French, and Russians. Chemical Warfare – The use of toxic properties in battle and siege.

  • 1 Israel's New Coalition Government Sir Kieran Prendergast, KCVO, CMG After Four Elections and Prolonged Deadlock, Israel
    Israel’s new coalition government Sir Kieran Prendergast, KCVO, CMG After four elections and prolonged deadlock, Israel has a new coalition government, made up of eight highly diverse parties: there are representatives of the left, right, and centre; secular and religious; Jew and Muslim; capitalist and socialist; parties favouring a two-state solution and opposed to settlement activity co-exist with others who are pro-annexation and fiercely opposed to a Palestinian state. There’s something for everyone, even Israeli Arabs and Bedouin. Because of the system of absolute proportional representation, Israel is always governed by coalition. Even so, this one has some unusual features: • Naftali Bennett, who will rotate with Yair Lapid, is the first Prime Minister in Israel’s history to be an observant (i.e., Orthodox) Jew; • he represents a tiny party, with only 6 seats in the 120 member Knesset (5% of the vote); • the ultra-Orthodox parties have been excluded from the Coalition (an objective of both Bennett and Lapid: Avigdor Lieberman is also strongly opposed to special privileges for the Haredim); • for the first time the coalition includes an Arab party, the conservative, Islamist Ra’am Party. Hitherto the conventional wisdom has been that it was unthinkable that a Zionist party should depend for its parliamentary majority on Israeli Arabs. Programme Not surprisingly, given the clashing views within the Coalition on issues connected to the Palestinian issue – on which at least two of the parties are further to the right than former Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu – the emphasis of the written coalition agreement is heavily skewed towards domestic issues, focusing on improvements in healthcare, infrastructure, education and a reduction in poverty.

Stephen Mintz at the MUniversity of Houston provided some very useful guidance and suggestions when I first started to research this topic. Robert J. Cottrol at George Washington University School of Law provided substantial encouragement to this effort as well. Eugene Volokh at the University of California Los Angeles School of Law was also of assistance in tracking down some obscure early decisions. Two significant influences on this work are Sonoma State Uni- versity’s LeVell Holmes and Daniel Markwyn, my thesis committee chair. Scheduling problems dropped me into Professor Holmes’s black history class. I had previously considered black history a mi- nor and not terribly interesting part of the American pageant; but because of Professor Holmes’s efforts, I began to see the sometimes central role that the struggle over slavery and the status of the freedmen played in the development of American law and institu- tions.

  • History and Tradition in Modern Circuit Cases on the Second Amendment Rights of Young People
    HISTORY AND TRADITION IN MODERN CIRCUIT CASES ON THE SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS OF YOUNG PEOPLE David B. Kopel* & Joseph G.S. Greenlee** I. INTRODUCTION This Article surveys nineteenth century laws and cases that restricted arms ownership based on age. We analyze the nineteenth century statutes and cases through the lens of five federal Circuit Court of Appeals cases involving restrictions on the Second Amendment rights of young people. Part II examines Rene E., a First Circuit case. Because Rene E. relied on nineteenth century cases, Part II analyzes those cases. Part III is the Fifth Circuit’s NRA v. BATF, which cited nineteenth century statutes, some of which had led to the cases that Rene E. cited. So, Part III reviews the statutes. Parts IV, V, and VI each have shorter discussions of the other leading Circuit cases: NRA v. McCraw (5th Cir.) (carry permits); Horsely v. Trame (7th Cir.) (parental permission for gun license), and Ezell v. Chicago (7th Cir., “Ezell II”) (ban on persons under 18 using firing ranges). Because this Article focuses on post-Heller circuit court cases and their use of history, there are certain topics that we do not address. First, we discuss the Supreme Court’s Second Amendment decisions only to the extent that they are discussed by the circuit opinions. Second, we do not discuss the history of colonial and Early Republic militia statutes. Those statutes typically set the minimum age for militia service at sixteen, although by the end of the eighteenth century the minimum age federally and in most states had been raised to eighteen.

  • Long Guns in Vehicles
    Notice: It is very important that you read this page completely before going to a state you want information about! Also be aware that firearms are being stolen from vehicles at a very brisk pace! Secure your Firearms! Last Updated: 8/1/2021 Links Checked: 7/22/2021 RV/Car Carry of Long Guns Securing Firearms in Vehicles Firearms theft from vehicles is rising. Many times when a firearm is stolen from a vehicle it is not even locked. Some states have laws on keeping your firearm out of unauthorized hands. Some can hold you responsible for firearms stolen from you that were not secured. Many of those laws are for storage in the home but applying it to your vehicle is not a big stretch. More and more local authorities are passing local ordinances that a firearm must be out of sight and the vehicle must be secured or you are in violation of the local ordinance. Lincoln Nebraska just passed such an ordinance. There are most likely a lot more local authorities who have passed such ordinances. Yes some states have Preemption so local authorities can’t pass such ordinances. Some states do not. ALWAYS if you have to leave your firearm in a vehicle keep it out of sight and the vehicle locked. The trunk is the most secure place in a vehicle. Most smash and grabs are for stuff visible or in the glove box, center console and under the seats. It is your responsibility to secure your firearm and keep it out of unauthorized hands.
