...Court Case Analysis of a Young Offender The Canadian public perception of youth crime is that it is growing out of control and that violence crime is common. Sensationalized media coverage, frustrated law enforcement officers and vote-seeking politicians, have tended to portray only parts of the overall reality of youth crime (John Howard Society, 2008). The government of Canada has evolved over the many years to deal with youth crime from installing the Juvenile Delinquency Act in 1908 all the way to the Youth Criminal Justice Act recently amended in 2012. What these acts have accomplished is the separation of youth and adult sentences (Stevenson, 2014). This was done in order to protect children because it is the belief in Canada that children are not responsible for their actions because of Doli incapax or the inability to do wrong. That being said there is still legislation in dealing with youth crime that is punishing and effective (Stevenson, 2014). This paper will analyze a court case decision made under the Youth Criminal Justice Act which involves a young offender who was convicted of a gang-related murder and breached Conditional Supervision Order (R. v. S.(M.), 2014). This court case will be analyzed using relevant research on youth gangs using concept of theories that apply to our young offender. In conclusion, this paper will discuss limitations of laws and possible alternatives that dealt with the young offender. A summary of R. v. S.(M.), the court based...

...technology most people have with them throughout the day is a cell phone. This study will investigate the relationship between the usage of cell phones and the increased risk of brain tumors. Numerous research studies have been done to analyze how the usage of cell phones correlates with the instance of brain tumors. This paper will analyze the findings of these studies and provide a description of the findings from the research studies that have been done related to the question do cell phones cause an increase in brain tumors to the cell phone users. Literature Review Berg, G., Spallek, J., Schüz, J., Schlehofer, B., Böhler, E., Schlaefer, K., et al. (2007) found that exposure to radio frequency and microwave electromagnetic fields can contribute to an increase the incidence of brain tumors. The same kind of radio frequency and microwave electromagnetic fields are produced by cell phone phones. If Radio frequency and microwave electromagnetic fields are both produced by cell phones than this could be an issue to anyone who uses a cell phone. If exposure to these radio frequencies and or microwave electromagnetic waves increases the risk of developing brain tumors this is a problem for the majority of the USAGE OF CELLPHONES AND BRAIN TUMORS population worldwide at an estimated “number of cell phone users in 2014 will reach 1.75 billion.” eMarketer (2014).

We have made significant changes to our supply chain through Ford 2000 and we should be proud of our achievements! Our use of information technology (IT) has enabled us to work together as a global team, even though we are on different continents. We have successfully reduced our supplier network which and work as a team with our current suppliers as well as enjoy cost savings and a more reliable supplier network. Our development of the Ford Production System (FPS) has resulted in a leaner more responsive and efficient manufacturing operation and our Order to Delivery (OTD) initiative has reduced our order to delivery time from 45-65 days to just 15 days! This being said, the global market is extremely competitive and I believe is challenging us in ways we have not seen before.

...examined the themes that emerged, the methodology employed, and the findings yielded, the ultimate goal being to identify knowledge gaps in the literature. To this end, we reviewed the relevant research conducted in the last 15 years by following the procedures outlined below. (a) Using the widely used social science database PsycINFO, we searched for articles which focused on both games and learning. The keywords chosen were “gam*” and either “learn*”, “teach*”, or “educat*” (the wildcard * can stand for any of a defined subset of all possible characters; for example “gam*” includes “game,” “games,” “gaming,” etc.). This generated about 4000 peer-reviewed articles from the earliest date (i.e., before 1960) to the end of 2008. (b) Given that studies conducted a decade ago tended to be less rigorous methodologically or yield obsolete results, we decided to focus our attention on more recent research. Once we narrowed down the time period to the years of 1995 to 2008, about 2400 peer-reviewed articles were left in the search results. (c) A quick survey of the 2400 articles revealed that many of them were not about games for educational purposes (e.g., research on game theory). Therefore, we screened the 2400 articles and eliminated those that were not relevant. This further reduced the number of articles to about 300. (d) We examined the 300 articles and identified if they were empirical or purely...

...A CASE STUDY OF PARTNERING IN LEAN CONSTRUCTION Per Erik Eriksson Management and Business Administration, Luleå University of Technology ABSTRACT Lean construction is a relatively immature literature field in need of unbiased theoretical reasoning and case studies in order to investigate how lean thinking can be applied in a construction project context. The purpose of this paper is to increase the understanding of how various measures of lean thinking can be implemented in a construction project and how these measures work. In order to enhance unbiased theoretical reasoning a frame of reference is first developed through a literature review of peer-reviewed journal articles. The empirical part of the research utilises a lean construction pilot project as a case study. Empirical data was mainly collected through a series of three questionnaire surveys, responded by project participants that were involved in the lean implementation effort (approximately 30 responses) and three follow-up workshops in which the key individuals from all partner companies participated (15-20 individuals). The author of this paper functioned as a facilitator and action researcher, responsible for the design and analysis of the surveys and for planning and facilitating the workshops. Document studies and interviews of twelve project participants were also conducted in order to increase the richness of the case study data. The empirical results show that many of the lean related measures identified...

...ABSTRACT The main objective of this study is to investigate the effects of macroeconomic evils – unemployment and inflation on different categories of crime rates – property and violent crimes in Malaysia via the multivariate Johansen-Juselius and Granger causality techniques. This study used annual data from 1970 to 2006. Johansen-Juselius cointegration tests revealed that property and violent crimes are cointegrated with unemployment and inflation. Furthermore, the empirical evidence exhibit that unemployment and inflation are the driving factors for crimes in Malaysia. Therefore, supply-side economy may be an ideal choice of policy to reduce crime rates in Malaysia. Keywords: Crime, Inflation, Unemployment, Malaysia 1. INTRODUCTION Recent deliberation on whether “Malaysia is a safe haven for travel and investment?” was frequently asked by the international tourists and foreign investors owing to the increasing trend of crime rates in Malaysia. From the visual inspection in Figure 1, both property and violent crime rates in Malaysia has increased quite significantly between 1970 and 2006. Over a decade from 1970 to 1980, both property and violent crime rates in Malaysia increased more than two folds. The property crime rate increased drastically from 25 thousand cases in 1970 to 66 thousand cases in 1980. In the similar vein, violent crime rates increased from approximately 3 thousand cases in 1970 to approximately 8 thousand cases in 1980. During the period of...

The structure of information in all sections of the medical r esearch paper was investigated using Swales' (1981, 1990) genre-analysis m odel. An eleven-move schema was identified, out of which nine were found t o be "normally required" and two "optional". Each schema was found to e mbody "constituent elements" and to be characterized by distinct linguistic f eatures. The study provides insights into the nature of discourse organization in this genre of written discourse. © 1997 The American University.

Key Words: Employee Turnover, Organisational Change, NHS 1 Organisational Change and Employee Turnover Abstract This paper investigates employee turnover, using data from a recent study of 352 NHS nurse leavers. We explore individual decisions to quit in a context characterised by change, and suggest a mechanism whereby organisational and contextual change can prompt individual leaving decisions. We develop and test hypotheses designed to shed light on the links between organisational change and individual decisions to quit. We then develop a theoretical, heuristic model describing the relationship between organisational change and turnover. The managerial implications of this model are outlined and the paper concludes with an agenda for future research. Introduction Employee turnover is a much studied phenomenon (Shaw, Delery, Jenkins and Gupta 1998: 511). Indeed, one recent meta-analysis (Hom and Griffeth: 1995) alone reviewed over 800 such studies (Iverson 1999). However, there is no universally...
