Volume 3 - No. 1 – Spring 2006

Sharon J. Williams
“This paper examines cases handled by U.S. State juvenile justice courts in order to determine whether the court acted justly in cases where the defendant had a fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), which is an ‘umbrella’ term that describes the range of effects that can occur in an individual whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy, including physical, mental, behavioral, and/or learning disabilities with possible lifelong effects.”

[USA] Responding to Sexual Offenses: Research, Reason and Public Safety / Center for Community Alternatives, 2006

Kostas A. Katsavdakis, Marsha Weissman, and Alan Rosenthal
“Overall, research shows that sex offenders reoffend significantly less often than other offenders, so civil commitment as a general practice must not assume a reoffending risk not supported by research. In discussing these issues, the authors draw upon lessons learned in New York State. Contrary to popular beliefs, not all individuals who commit sexual offenses have the same behaviors, psychological makeups, and bleak prospects for rehabilitation. There are valid and reliable risk-assessment methods that can inform treatment-offender matching and reduce the risk of reoffending."

Reducing Gun Violence: Community Problem Solving in Atlanta / National Institute of Justice, 2006
PDF - http://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/209800.pdf
“The fifth report in NIJ’s Reducing Gun Violence series examines the lessons learned from an ambitious program implemented during the late 1990s in Atlanta to reduce juvenile gun violence. The city adopted a problem-solving approach within an existing program called ‘Project PACT.’ Atlanta PACT formed strategic partnerships with Federal, State, and local law enforcement and community-based groups to break the chain of illegal events leading up to juvenile gun violence. Some of the partnerships and strategies formed then endure today within Project Safe Neighborhoods. The report describes the program’s methods and lessons for other communities.”

An Information Operations Approach to Counter Suicide Bomber Recruiting / U.S. Army War College, 2006
PDF - http://handle.dtic.mil/100.2/ADA449231
Lieutenant Colonel William S. Rabena; Dr. Larry P. Goodson
"The study will analyze how information operations, in the form of counterdeception and counterpropaganda, can target the recruiting base for suicide bombers. More specifically, the project explores the possible success that could be achieved when counterpropaganda and counterdeception address cognitive third order effects of those who are most influential to the potential suicide bomber’s decision-making. This new approach targets the Sunni religious faction and the family. This departure from current information operations norms serves as a change to current strategy. The recommended strategy changes also are included in the study.”
