Download or read book Community Led Orientation How to Control That Which Cannot Be Controlled written by Karl-Johan Spiik and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-06-06 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a network leader? Leading a network is a skill that is needed more and more in today's working life, but a previous position as a supervisor and years of experience do not guarantee anything in networks. A network is uncontrollable, it cannot be ordered around nor controlled, and every member of the network can influence its operations. If you want to realise your own will i.e. lead the network, you need to get the others to understand your point of view, entice people to cooperate, listen to others, and tolerate diversity and critique. In a network you orientate everyone into a culture where you communicate efficiently as well as ask for and give feedback. In a network you cannot e.g. not inform others about how the project is coming along, or merely announce things after all the decisions have been made, but rather, all information should be open. On the other hand, openness does not mean the same as drowning people in information so that no one can keep up. The flow of information in a network needs good tools, and you need to be able to measure your success. Leading a network is not easy, but it is rewarding. A network is support and safety, a source of learning and development, and a key to new opportunities and new collaborative partners. Your network might be quite like-minded with you, or it might consist of sharply differing people, but the most important thing is that you recognise people's differing motivations and needs. This book gives tips and examples on how you can be a network leader who achieves results and a good spirit. If you want to develop as a network leader, this book is for you!

Download or read book Restorative Policing Experiment written by Paul McCold and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bethlehem Police Family Group Conferencing Experiment was the first randomized trial of restorative justice in the United States. Moderately serious juvenile offenses were randomly assigned either to court or to a diversionary "restorative policing" process called family group conferencing. Police-based family group conferencing used trained police officers to facilitate a meeting attended by juvenile offenders, their victims, and their respective family and friends. This group would discuss the harm caused by the offender's actions and develop an agreement to repair the harm.The effect of the program was measured through surveys of victims, offenders, offender's parents, and police officers, and also by examining the outcomes of conferences and formal adjudication. The book contains an extended appendix that presents these outcome-based statistics for this seminal program. At a time when research for new restorative justice programs in the 1990s was just beginning to surface, this study provides a valuable picture of the successes of the family conferencing model in its early formation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term "adversity" is used to describe exposure to unpropitious or calamitous circumstances.

It is also observed in more individually targeted events, such as child abuse, bereavement, rape, physical illness, marital separation or divorce, unemployment, and homelessness. This volume brings together contributions from leading investigators in the field. They review and analyze research on the nature of adversity and its relationship to major types of psychopathology including schizophrenia, depression, alcoholism and other substance use disorders, antisocial personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and nonspecific distress. Adversity, Stress, and Psychopathology is the only book to offer such a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the role of psychosocial stress in mental disorders. It will be welcomed by psychiatrists: psychologists, especially clinical, health and social; public health researchers, especially epidemiologists; and social scientists, especially sociologists.

Download or read book Corporate Dictatorship The World Controlled From the Top By megalomaniacs Volume II written by Raymond Pairan and published by Raymond Pairan. This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insanity and compulsiveness, the gamblers spirit pervades this upside down top-heavy society – a society that values the ignorance of well positioned marketing sales types over informed intellect. Capitalism is a fundamentally coherent societal framework if it can be encapsulated from the political substrate and left to small and medium sized corporations without the destructive influences of industry oligarchy. Later stage capitalism unfortunately empowers the crafty snake oil dealers groomed in cult like educational institutions to buyout all the original creative entrepreneurs. This collection of essays in Volume 2 continues to show how our current societal framework is designed to benefit the few at the expense of the many and how we can change this trajectory of wealth despotism into an egalitarian cooperative community of equally important community participants.

Download or read book House of Commons Communities and Local Government Committee Community Budgets HC 163 written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Communities and Local Government Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community Budgets are demonstrating their potential to deliver cheaper, more integrated and more effective public services. They are at risk, however, of being replaced after a few years if key issues are not resolved. If this opportunity is missed, the Committee warns that local services could come under unsustainable pressure in the face of increased demand and reduced budgets. This in turn may result in more spending later on judicial and emergency health and welfare interventions. The Government should send a clear message that it will assist every local authority wishing to introduce Community Budgets and to set out the specific assistance it will provide them with. Furthermore, the programme of pilots must not be allowed to slow progress towards wider implementation. If they are to succeed, public service providers and local authorities must realise investment in Community Budgets will bring them benefits. Local authorities, their partners, and central government should, therefore, develop a framework for agreements on how the benefits of investment are to be shared. On the Troubled Families Programme, the Committee is supportive of the work being done but highlights the need for greater focus on how work with these families will continue after the programme ends in 2016. Noting that the resources available have not increased in proportion to the number of families added to the programme in June, DCLG needs to monitor carefully progress and provide more resources to local authorities if necessary
