In this article, we present the findings of a mixed-methods study of correctional officers’ views on the introduction of body-worn cameras (BWCs) within prisons. Using a statewide survey and in-depth interviews with correctional officers in Queensland, Australia, this study explored officer support for BWCs and the relationship between officer support and several key variables. We found widespread support for the use of BWCs among correctional officers. Female officers and those who held more positive views about the perceived functionality of BWCs and the implementation and training process were most supportive. However, the introduction of BWCs also raises some important considerations for prison management that may impact officer support, including whether to allow officers to access BWC footage for report writing or officer training. Consideration must also be made regarding turn-on policies for BWCs given concerns that more frequent recording has the potential to damage rapport with incarcerated individuals.

The development of skills that allow children to perform satisfactorily in their training process and, later, in their work or social life, has become an objective for all educational and training models developed. This article deals with the relationship between thinking development skills, shared mental models and abstraction mechanisms, from a theoretical review and application with children aged between eight and twelve, from the Childprogramming methodology in a public education institution in Colombia. The results recorded at the end of the practices with this group of students, especially when assessing the progressive use of abstraction mechanisms in the Scratch environment, are presented, using the Dr. Scratch platform.

And Training

Since the 1970s, police training and recruitment has been impacted by two feminist concerns: the low number of female officers and charges of ineffective responses to women victims of male violence. This study analyzes 324 law enforcement officers' responses as to whether policewomen, policemen, or a combination are best suited to respond to woman battering overall, battering victims, and batterers. In addition, the analysis accounts for the relationship between officers' demographic characteristics and their responses. In short, the findings of this study suggest that policemen are less enthusiastic about policewomen's contributions to policing woman battering, than policewomen are of policemen's contributions. Further, the only demographic characteristics related to the officers' responses are their sex and departmental affiliation. (Officers' race, age, education, rank, shift, years of experience, and SES were unrelated to their responses.)

Qualitative researchers who conduct in-depth interviews about sensitive topics can often find themselves in an interaction that mimics psychotherapy in some ways. Many researchers, however, are not prepared to navigate such an interaction. In this article, I examine in-depth interviewing and introduce the notion of the affect-responsive interview. Specifically, I explore the various conceptions of in-depth interviewing, interrogate the relationship the interview can create, and examine the ethics of in-depth interviewing. Through examining literature on therapy efficacy and training, I introduce the affect-responsive interview and offer implications for the ways in which we prepare future qualitative researchers.

This article describes the study of mathematics inter-subject communication in institutes, where the need to pay special attention to the relationship of mathematics with other subjects, especially with the basics of economic knowledge. Inter-subject communication is raised to a higher level of scientific weight training process, providing multifaceted influence on the personality of students, ensuring unity of education, educational and developmental functions. So much attention in institutes for economic education is primarily due to the fact that economic knowledge defined by renowned economists who can teach economic theory necessary for the formation of the economic way of thinking and economic culture of the students. Besides knowledge form the basis of economic education and training student. Influence of inter-subject communications so broadly that it covers the area of teaching all disciplines affects the curriculum, programs and textbooks, beyond the narrowly defined as training, affecting the formation of the world students. So, there is every reason to believe inter-subject communication one of the principles of didactics.

Abstract. Background: Theory is the foundation of science; this is true in suicidology. Over decades of studies of suicide notes, Leenaars developed a multidimensional model of suicide, with international (crosscultural) studies and independent verification. Aim: To corroborate Leenaars's theory with a psychological autopsy (PA) study, examining age and sex of the decedent, and survivor's relationship to deceased. Method: A PA study in Norway, with 120 survivors/informants was undertaken. Leenaars' theoretical–conceptual (protocol) analysis was undertaken of the survivors' narratives and in-depth interviews combined. Results: Substantial interjudge reliability was noted (κ = .632). Overall, there was considerable confirmatory evidence of Leenaars's intrapsychic and interpersonal factors in suicide survivors' narratives. Differences were found in the age of the decedent, but not in sex, nor in the survivor's closeness of the relationship. Older deceased people were perceived to exhibit more heightened unbearable intrapsychic pain, associated with the suicide. Conclusion: Leenaars's theory has corroborative verification, through the decedents' suicide notes and the survivors' narratives. However, the multidimensional model needs further testing to develop a better evidence-based way of understanding suicide.

The relationship between Fulani herdsmen and farmers has in recent years become hot-tempered motivated by competitive control of land resources, particularly in central and north-east Nigeria. In Taraba State, the ongoing nomadic migration pattern from the Sahel in quest of pastures has led to violent confrontation between Fulani herdsmen and farming indigenous natives. Using a descriptive approach consisting of documented evidence, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions, the analysis revealed that conflicts between Fulani herdsmen and indigenous native farmers have culminated in population displacement and destruction of life and property in numerous rural enclaves in Taraba State. Despite the consequences of the conflicts, the Taraba State government was unable to act proactively because of the centralization of command over Nigerian security agencies. Accordingly, the study suggests decentralization of security agencies in Nigeria, especially the police, as the way forward for effective security governance in Nigeria.
