Harm To Others

Abstract. Background: Identifying precursors that will aid in the discovery of individuals who may harm themselves or others has long been a focus of scholarly research. Aim: This work set out to determine if it is possible to use the legacy tokens of active shooters and notes left from individuals who completed suicide to uncover signals that foreshadow their behavior. Method: A total of 25 suicide notes and 21 legacy tokens were compared with a sample of over 20,000 student writings for a preliminary computer-assisted text analysis to determine what differences can be coded with existing computer software to better identify students who may commit self-harm or harm to others. Results: The results support that text analysis techniques with the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) tool are effective for identifying suicidal or homicidal writings as distinct from each other and from a variety of student writings in an automated fashion. Conclusion: Findings indicate support for automated identification of writings that were associated with harm to self, harm to others, and various other student writing products. This work begins to uncover the viability or larger scale, low cost methods of automatic detection for individuals suffering from harmful ideation.

The development of technology that continues to grow, the public increasingly facilitates socialization through technology. Opinion on free and uncontrolled social media causes harm to others. The law sees this phenomenon subsequently changing. Legal Information Known as Information and Electronic Transaction Law or ITE Law. However, the ITE Law cannot protect the entire general public. Because it is an Article in the ITE Law that is contrary to Article in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.

Do So

Srinivas et al provide a comprehensive guide to the law, regulations and practice concerning the management of ‘restricted patients', who are the responsibility of both the clinical services treating them and the Home Office. In doing so, they make the assumption, with apparent approval, that there is a ‘partnership’ between clinicians and the Home Office. However, partnership assumes parties working towards a common goal on an equal footing. Neither assumption is correct here. Although forensic mental health services direct themselves explicitly towards enhancing public safety, they do so in conjunction with treatment aimed at the relief of dysphoria in the patient. The interest of the Home Office in the patient's mental health is solely in terms of its impact on the risk of harm to others. There is therefore no ‘partnership’. Rather, there is constructive tension between agencies working towards differently valued and balanced objectives. Certainly the relationship is not one of equal power.

Pharmaceutical Governance

This article provides a history of three pharmaceuticals in the making of modern South Africa. Borrowing and adapting Arthur Daemmrich’s term ‘pharmacopolitics’, we examine how forms of pharmaceutical governance became integral to the creation and institutional practices of this state. Through case studies of three medicaments: opium (late 19th to early 20th century), thalidomide (late 1950s to early 1960s) and contraception (1970s to 2010s), we explore the intertwining of pharmaceutical regulation, provision and consumption. Our focus is on the modernist imperative towards the rationalisation of pharmaceutical oversight, as an extension of the state’s bureaucratic and ideological objectives, and, importantly, as its obligation. We also explore adaptive and illicit uses of medicines, both by purveyors of pharmaceuticals, and among consumers. The historical sweep of our study allows for an analysis of continuities and changes in pharmaceutical governance. The focus on South Africa highlights how the concept of pharmacopolitics can usefully be extended to transnational—as well as local—medical histories. Through the diversity of our sources, and the breadth of their chronology, we aim to historicise modern pharmaceutical practices in South Africa, from the late colonial era to the Post-Apartheid present.

Risk Assessment And Management

It is debatable whether the notion of dangerousness now has any utilitarian value for psychiatry. The presence or absence of dangerousness is very much in the eye of the beholder. It is an all or nothing term – you either have it or you do not! While there is usually little disagreement about the few very violent individuals “who, for 24 hours a day, and in any situation, are likely to cause harm to others” (Chiswick, 1995), most patients are not in this category and “little bit dangerous” is unlikely to be of much comfort to clinical staff. It is unhelpful to deny that dangerousness is any more than an adjective which has been elevated into a pseudoscientific construct whose definitions (Scott, 1977; Walker, 1978; Home Office & DHSS, 1975) amount to little more than “past harm predicts future behaviour”.

Design And Methods

Aims: Most alcohol research has focused on how drinking harms the drinker. Research on alcohol’s harms to others (AHTO) has studied primarily single or small groups of countries. This article describes the methodology of a new multinational study—Gender and Alcohol’s Harm to Others (GENAHTO)—of how social and cultural contexts are related to AHTO, from the perspectives of both perpetrators and victims.Design: The GENAHTO Project uses surveys in 21 countries that provide data from drinkers who report causing harms to others, and surveys in 16 countries that provide data from victims of AHTO. The countries surveyed vary widely in alcohol policies, drinking cultures, gender-role definitions, and socioeconomic conditions.Participants: More than 140,000 men and women, aged 15–84, participated in the surveys.Measures: Individual-level measures include demographics, alcohol use patterns, and alcohol-related harms. Regional- and societal-level measures include socioeconomic conditions, drinking patterns, alcohol policies, gender inequality, and income inequality.Findings: The project seeks to identify characteristics of AHTO victims and perpetrators; within-country regional differences in AHTO; and associations between national alcohol polices and individual and regional levels of AHTO.Conclusions: GENAHTO is the first project to assess AHTO in diverse societies. Its findings can inform policies to abate AHTO in varying cultural contexts.
