Accenture Publishes 2018 Corporate Citizenship Report
Company strengthens commitment to reduce environmental impact and progresses toward its
Skills to Succeed and gender-balanced workforce goals
NEW YORK; April 16, 2019 – Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has published its 2018 Corporate Citizenship Report, which details how the company innovates to improve the way the world works and lives. “As the pace of innovation disrupts what it means to be a responsible business, organizations must take a leadership role in positively contributing to society at a scale that makes a difference,” said Laurence Morvan, Accenture’s corporate social responsibility officer and also chief of staff — office of the CEO. “ With the passion of our people, our technology expertise and a diverse ecosystem of partners, we are driving innovations and programs that help address society’s pressing problems.” Accenture’s 2018 report illustrates the company’s commitment to purpose-driven innovation across the two pillars of its global corporate citizenship focus: Innovating for Society and Shaping Responsible Business. Innovating for Society
Investing in skilling for the future. In May 2018, the company committed to invest more than US$200 million in education, training and skills initiatives over three years to equip people around the world for work in the digital age.

Content: We decided to dig up and analyze every study that followed people on diets for two to five years. We concluded most of them would have been better off not going on the diet at all. Their weight would be pretty much the same, and their bodies would not suffer the wear and tear from losing weight and gaining it all back.” People on diets typically lose 5 to 10 percent of their starting weight in the first six months, the researchers found. However, at least one-third to two-thirds of people on diets regain more weight than they lost within four or five years, and the true number may well be significantly higher, they said. “Although the findings reported give a bleak picture of the effectiveness of diets, there are reasons why the actual effectiveness of diets is even worse,” Mann said. Mann said that certain factors biased the diet studies to make them appear more effective than they really were. For one, many participants self-reported their weight by phone or mail rather than having their weight measured on a scale by an impartial source. Also, the studies have very low follow-up rates — eight of the studies had follow-up rates lower than 50 percent, and those who responded may not have been representative of the entire group, since people who gain back large amounts of weight are generally unlikely to show up for follow-up tests, Mann said. “Several studies indicate that dieting is actually a consistent predictor of future weight gain,” said Janet Tomiyama, a UCLA graduate student of psychology and co-author of the study. | https://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/Dieting-Does-Not-Work-UCLA-Researchers-7832 |

A Brief History of Mail-In Vote Fraud
Content: Prosecutors found that they had bought votes, registered illegal immigrants and imaginary voters, and even had voting precinct captains physically change their vote counts. But by far their most common trick was casting fraudulent absentee ballots. The corrupt precinct captains who were in on the fraud had their workers "encourage voters to apply for absentee ballots whether or not they had a valid reason to do so and to turn the blank ballots over" to the election workers, who would then vote for them. The investigation found that "although the [vote] canvass disclosed that a number of persons who were registered to vote in the precinct had died, moved away, or for some other reason had become ineligible to vote, these persons were not struck from the list of eligible voters. Finally on election day the defendants, either personally or by acting through others, caused numerous false ballots to be cast for the straight Democratic ticket." The conspirators preyed on the elderly and infirm, because they "would be the most unlikely to challenge the theft of their franchise." 12 years later, in Greene County, Alabama, eleven people were convicted of widespread vote fraud through the use of phony absentee ballots. "The defendants included Greene County commissioners, officials, and employees; a racing commissioner; a member of the board of education; | https://newstalk1130.iheart.com/featured/common-sense-central/content/2020-05-28-a-brief-history-of-mail-in-vote-fraud/ |

A Brief History of Mail-In Vote Fraud
Content: As the Miami Herald noted, "numerous absentee ballots were cast in the primary by people who live outside of the City of Miami. Some voters were unaware they had voted at all. One ballot was cast by Manuel Yip, who has been dead for four years." When the fraud was discovered and the election was held again, a different candidate won. In 2003, a member of East Chicago Mayor Robert Pastrick's campaign was found guilty of casting fraudulent ballots by promising jobs to people in exchange for letting him vote for them in the primary. Because of this widespread fraud, the primary was re-run and Pastrick lost. Five years later, community activist group ACORN engaged in what Washington's Secretary of State called "the worst case of voter registration fraud in the history of the state" by submitting nearly 2,000 fake voter registration forms.

A Brief History of Mail-In Vote Fraud
Content: Because of this widespread fraud, the primary was re-run and Pastrick lost. Five years later, community activist group ACORN engaged in what Washington's Secretary of State called "the worst case of voter registration fraud in the history of the state" by submitting nearly 2,000 fake voter registration forms. According to CNN, the group "took addresses from homeless shelters, used fake birthdays and Social Security numbers and took names from baby books to create voters out of thin air." Clifton Mitchell, the ringleader of the scheme, spent three months in prison, and four of his co-conspirators were sentenced to jail time. ACORN itself was fined $25,000. The group was under investigation for fraud in 10 different states for its activities ahead of the 2008 presidential election. The following year, The Wall Street Journal reported: Nevada officials charged ACORN, its regional director and its Las Vegas field director with submitting thousands of fraudulent voter registration forms last year. Larry Lomax, the registrar of voters in Las Vegas, says he believes 48% of ACORN's forms "are clearly fraudulent." Prosecutors in Pittsburgh, Pa., also charged seven Acorn employees with filing hundreds of fraudulent voter registrations before last year's general election. | https://newstalk1130.iheart.com/featured/common-sense-central/content/2020-05-28-a-brief-history-of-mail-in-vote-fraud/ |

In 2012, Martin, Kentucky Mayor Ruth Thomasine Robinson ran a mail-in ballot scheme that preyed on people who lived in properties she either owned or supervised. The FBI said in a press release: According to evidence at the trial, Thomasine Robinson and her co-conspirators intimidated poor and disabled citizens in order to gain their votes during Robinson’s 2012 campaign for re-election. For instance, members of the conspiracy directed residents of public housing to vote by absentee ballot under the supervision of Thomasine Robinson or another member of the conspiracy. The conspirators also targeted residents of private housing owned and leased by Thomasine Robinson. | https://newstalk1130.iheart.com/featured/common-sense-central/content/2020-05-28-a-brief-history-of-mail-in-vote-fraud/ |

What do space and time mean at the Planck scale?
Content: Does Planck-scale physics challenge relativity? According to Special Relativity 's time dilation and length contraction, two observers with relative motion are condemned to eternal disagreement about times and lengths. Or are they? They will disagree over the arbitrary times measured in seconds and lengths measured in metres or whatever units. They would also disagree over clock ticks, atomic vibrations and light wavelengths. But what if there were some absolute time and length, determined by the very nature of the universe? And what if these quantities could be measured in different frames of reference? Wouldn't the observers have to agree on those having the same value, if they agree on the same laws of physics? Well, there is an abolute length and an absolute time. It's possible that we'll never be able to measure them, so any threat posed to relativity is distant and perhaps even hypothetical. | https://newt.phys.unsw.edu.au/einsteinlight/jw/module6_Planck.htm |

Between the years 1870-1900, Americans began to respond to the effects fostered by these corporations. From urban factory workers to rural farmers, Americans began to organize against these big businesses. With mass industrialization, more job’s were made available to women, these jobs were often in factories with terrible conditions, sweatshops. There was a sameness about working in mass production factories. Thus, working in these modern mass production factories created a homogenous environment that diminished individualism and the need for skilled workers. ( Doc. C) Strikers were common during this era, workers participated in strikes and joined labor unions, such as The American Federation of Labor and the Knights of Labor, due to the terrible working conditions.

The Prologue does appear to have a deeper, more important function, as it does not merely set the scene of Romeo and Juliet; it tells the audience exactly what is going to happen. The Prologue refers to a pair of ‘star-cross’d lovers,’ which means, literally, against the stars. In Elizabethan times, stars were thought to control people’s destinies. The Prologue itself creates this sense of fate providing the audience with the knowledge that Romeo and Juliet will die even before the play has started, and also that their tragic deaths end their parents’ feud. “ Doth with their death bury their parents’ strife”. | https://newyorkessays.com/essay-conflict-in-romeo-and-juliet/ |

Romeo’s cry, “O, I am fortune’s fool! ” ( 3:1:127), refers to the fact that it is written in the stars, he believes that what is happening is beyond his control, reminding the audience again of the sense of fate that hangs over the play. Lady Capulet continues the theme of violence demanding that Romeo be put to death in punishment. Act 3, Scene 5, also conveys conflict, but different from the previous scenes. The conflict here is emotional conflict, between ‘light and dark’, ‘day and night’.

Every media outlet has methods of agenda-setting that have been meticulously cultivated since the inception of mass media over a century ago. There are many forms of bias that show up in the media, and there are many reasons why these biases happen. Media Bias in News Reporting Essay Example
According to Studentnewsdaily. com Bias by omission is when the author intentionally leaves out facts that support the other side of an argument presented in an article. This bias can happen over the short term (for xample, an article on CNN that rips apart Obamacare by systematically pin-pointing how this system will attempt to under-cut conservative interests, such as private- sector health insurance providers); or, this bias can occur over long-term (for example, Fox News has become a haven for conservative viewpoints because, over time, this media hub has systematically omitted the liberal voice in the majority of the stories it reports). Another form of bias is inherent in the selection of sources to support a specific viewpoint in a news story. An example of this is when a newspaper uns a story about abortion and backs up its assumptions by testimony from “experts” who already subscribe to a school of thought that is either anti- or pro- abortion. | https://newyorkessays.com/essay-media-bias-in-news-reporting/ |

Feldman, although I disagree, supported Keynes believing that the economic and financial settlements were ‘horrendous failures. ’ [ 6] This was an extreme view and seemed to ignore the circumstances the delegates were dealing with.

Recommendations often come from the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, members of Congress, sitting judges and justices, and the American Bar Association. Some judicial hopefuls even nominate themselves. A special, very powerful tradition for recommending district judges is called senatorial courtesy. According to this practice, the senators from the state in which the vacancy occurs actually make the decision. A senator of the same political party as the President sends a nomination to the president, who almost always follows the recommendation. To ignore it would be a great affront to the senator, as well as an invitation for conflict between the president and the Senate.

Because they do not have to worry about reelection, they are relieved of the outside pressure of public opinion. After all, the majority is not always right.

Judicial activists believe that the federal courts must correct injustices that are perpetuated or ignored by the other branches. Supporters of judicial restraint point out that appointed judges are immune to public opinion, and if they abandon their role as careful and cautious interpreters of the Constitution, they become unelected legislators.

A key element in Roosevelt’s New Deal was agencies to create employment by carrying out public works. The largest public works project was the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which employed more than eight million people from 1935-1943. Was The New Deal Effective? Essay Example
The purpose of the WPA was to provide people with jobs until the economy recovered from the Great Depression. | https://newyorkessays.com/essay-was-the-new-deal-effective/ |

Broadly, it includes display units (CRT, LCD, LED monitors), processors (CPU, GPU, or APU chips), memory (DRAM or SRAM), and several audio components. These days, e-waste is a burning issue both in developing and developed countries. The stock of e-waste is growing very fast. Therefore, this creates a requirement for effective recycling. Basically, the explosive growth of the electronics industry is the major reason for escalating the issue of the landfill. Additionally, the reduced life spans of electrical, electronic and consumer electronic devices are generating large e-waste. E-waste Recycling Industry Potential in India
Basically, the growth of the E-waste market is supplemented by the growing need for upgrading to the latest technologies. A desire towards the adoption of new technologically advanced devices leads to the generation of millions of tons of E-Waste across various regions. As per the International Finance Corporation (IFC), The electronic waste sector is going to create 4.5 lakh direct jobs by 2025 and another 1.8 lakh jobs in the allied sectors of the transportation and manufacturing industry in India. | https://nextwhatbusiness.com/e-waste-recycling-business/ |

In addition, the new product launches with updated features and additional services are attracting the customers to upgrade their old products with new products. This has reduced the lifespan of these devices to about 3-4 years. Thus, this is adding more and more e-waste at a tremendous rate. | https://nextwhatbusiness.com/e-waste-recycling-business/ |

Why are books banned? Is it for use of inappropriate language or maybe for inappropriate sexual scenes? Or maybe the book in question is not appropriate for a high school reading level. Over the years several books have been banned across America. Some books are banned for logical reasons, but other reasons seem foolish. Northgate High School is no exception to having guidelines about what students can and cannot read. Schools across the nation ban different books for different reasons. Butler University says, “The most common reasons for banning books are: racial issues, encouragement of “unpleasant” activity, blasphemous dialogue, sexual situations or dialogue, violence or negativity, presence of witchcraft, unpopular beliefs, political bias, and age inappropriate material.” Schools have banned the following books such as: | https://nghscrimsontimes.com/2173/news/the-process-behind-banning-books/ |

Books that many people consider classics, or even powerful books of generations, are banned across the nation. Northgate High School does not house any banned books in their library or school premises. Northgate does ,however, have two officially challenged books, Walking Across Egypt and Death of a Salesman. The school chooses to not buy and distribute books that would, or possibly could, be banned or challenged. | https://nghscrimsontimes.com/2173/news/the-process-behind-banning-books/ |

All challenges that came Northgate’s way were defeated
Content: Both books were classroom sets, and parents felt they were inappropriate for a classroom setting. The books are still currently class sets and can still be checked out in the library today. In both cases, an official complaint was made, and both books had to go through the process of banning a book from the school. In both cases, the complaints were proven unjustifiable, because the information was taken out of context. The process for banning a book is a thorough and detailed one indeed. It all begins with a reconsideration form where parents, or whoever is trying to ban the book, talk about the “questionable material”. One statement on the form to ban a book reads as following, “ You need to have read the book, and then discuss why it should be taken off the shelf.” Parents also need to find an appropriate replacement for the book in question. The last step involves a Media Committee, where teachers, a media specialist, administrators, a student, and parents come together to determine the fate of the case. All the members of the committee read the book and then come together to discuss if the book should be considered inappropriate or appropriate. “ | https://nghscrimsontimes.com/2173/news/the-process-behind-banning-books/ |

In the cases of both Walking Across Egypt and Death of a Salesman the official process occurred, and both were determined appropriate for Northgate High School. Northgate, thankfully, is an outlier among a sea of schools with rules on banned books. We are free to choose what we read, even when some people disagree.

Prison Security
Prison security is crucial to maintaining staff and inmate safety in a correctional setting. Security in prisons includes, but is not limited to, managing restrictive housing populations, classification and assessment, managing special populations, and security audits. Security Audit Training
The Prisons Division of NIC is seeking candidates for the Security Audit Program. In order to be considered for participation, each agency must submit a 3-member team. Team members should be in a supervisory role within the agency and in a position to affect change within the organization. The work of the security audit may best be described as a risk assessment, the function of which is to determine the likelihood of a significant security problem or vulnerability to injury, escape, disruption or destruction of property due to inadequate policy, procedure, physical plant, and/or performance. Risk assessment, hence security audit, is the process of determining the risk remaining after all the normal management safeguards have been applied, including clarity of policy, procedure, post orders, training, physical plant accommodation, and daily supervisory activities. Prison Staffing Analysis
Capitalize on staff strengths and abilities by using the right people in the right positions at the right times. This is the essence of staffing analysis, and it relies on decision makers’ competence to use their knowledge and understanding of basic staffing concepts, post identification, shift relief factors, critical staffing levels, and more to accurately assess staffing needs for new or existing facilities and operations. This 32 hour program explores several methodologies for assessing current staffing levels and determining staffing requirements. | https://nicic.gov/prison-security |

Suicide in Corrections
Suicide is a threat to all persons involved in corrections. The rates of inmate suicide are far higher than the national averages, and even higher still for special populations (including juvenile and LGBTI inmates), even corrections officers have a much greater occupational suicide rate. The resources provided will help give an overview of the problems surrounding correctional suicides and the ways one can implement strategies to turn around the alarming upward trajectory of suicide rates.

Even though the last two days’ worth of news — the official autopsy, the fact that Bland had told prison officials she had attempted suicide earlier this year, and a video in which she had recounted her struggles with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder — do point to suicide, there’s still a formal investigation to be done.

"Today, prisons house those potentially at risk for self-harm in isolation cells, while additional personnel check on them every 15 minutes. Although this form of surveillance “tends to be highly effective, it’s very labor-intensive,” not to mention costly and invasive, says Jeffrey Ashe, a principal scientist at General Electric. And like Helzer, inmates can simply attempt suicide between check-ins and personnel shifts." | https://nicic.gov/suicide-in-corrections |

"What happens when an inmate is put on suicide watch? He's put in an observation room and kept away from dangerous objects. Suicide watch is mostly designed to prevent hanging, which is far and away the most common suicide method in prisons and hospitals. An observation room might have little more than a mattress on the floor. Any stray bits of fabric could be used as a noose: Some states make sure the inmate sleeps with an extra-thick blanket that can't be tied or torn into strips. | https://nicic.gov/suicide-in-corrections |

This report discusses the role correctional officers must play in dealing with inmate suicides. Especially, those officers in jails. The suicide rate for local jails is about four times that of the U.S. as a whole with the rate for jails of 100 beds or less being nearly 10 times greater.

Stages of Grief

How to Grieve Well: 6 Practical Tips for Coping with Grief and Loss
1. Don’t put time-limits on your grief.
Grief does lessen with time, but how quickly and to what extent is difficult to predict.
2. Resist comparing your grief to other people’s.
But the act of comparing our grief to that of others and then judging it accordingly usually isn’t helpful.
3. Spend time grieving intentionally.
Trying to avoid difficult emotions only makes them stronger in the long-run.
When you approach your grief willingly, it signals to your own mind that what you’re experiencing is painful but not bad or dangerous.
4. Seek out the right kind of social support.
Just because you’re grieving, doesn’t mean you have to talk about your grief all the time!
5. Allow yourself you feel more than just sadness.
By limiting our grief exclusively to sadness, we end up invalidating the emotionally complex nature of grief.
6. Take self-care seriously.
Myths and Misconceptions About Grief
In order to move on with your life, you need to forget about your loss.
Grief is an emotion.
If you don’t shed tears or frequently feel sad you’re not processing your grief in a healthy way.
Women grieve more than men.
The more intense and lasting your grief the better.
Grief should last for approximately one year.
The best way to minimize the pain of grief is to ignore it.

Understanding Grief
What is grief? Grief is the natural response to the loss of a person or things that was valuable or loved. Grief is often quite intense and long-lasting and occurs on many levels from emotional and physical to social and spiritual. Especially in the early stages, people who are grieving often describe feeling overwhelmingly sad and distraught, although grief may also manifest emotionally as “numbness” or feeling “disconnected.” What causes grief? Grief is almost always triggered by the loss of someone or something very valuable or loved. Traditionally, we associate grief with the death of a loved one. And indeed, this is a common cause for grief. But any significant loss can lead to grief: | https://nickwignall.com/grief/ |

And indeed, this is a common cause for grief. But any significant loss can lead to grief: Many people experience grief in response to the loss of a job. Grief is also quite common (though not talked about much) after divorce or separation. Miscarriage is another common but little-discussed source of grief. Sometimes grief is caused by children going away to college. People frequently experience grief after the death of a beloved pet. | https://nickwignall.com/grief/ |

How to Grieve Well: 6 Practical Tips for Coping with Grief and Loss
1. Don’t put time-limits on your grief.
Grief does lessen with time, but how quickly and to what extent is difficult to predict.
2. Resist comparing your grief to other people’s.
But the act of comparing our grief to that of others and then judging it accordingly usually isn’t helpful.
3. Spend time grieving intentionally.
Trying to avoid difficult emotions only makes them stronger in the long-run.
When you approach your grief willingly, it signals to your own mind that what you’re experiencing is painful but not bad or dangerous.
4. Seek out the right kind of social support.
Just because you’re grieving, doesn’t mean you have to talk about your grief all the time!
5. Allow yourself you feel more than just sadness.
By limiting our grief exclusively to sadness, we end up invalidating the emotionally complex nature of grief.
6. Take self-care seriously.
Myths and Misconceptions About Grief
In order to move on with your life, you need to forget about your loss.
Grief is an emotion.
If you don’t shed tears or frequently feel sad you’re not processing your grief in a healthy way.
Women grieve more than men.
The more intense and lasting your grief the better.
Grief should last for approximately one year.
The best way to minimize the pain of grief is to ignore it.

Content: Worry. It’s common during grief to find yourself worrying about what life will be like without the person or thing you’ve lost. It’s also common to worry about the spiritual state of their loved one after death. Significant worry during grief can lead to high levels of anxiety. Intrusive memories. During the grieving process, it’s normal to have all sorts of people, places, or things trigger memories of the loved one who’s passed away or other loss. Although it’s understandable, habitually avoiding situations that might trigger painful memories can make those memories even more common and intrusive. Fantasizing. Often people in the grief process find themselves fantasizing about what their life would be like if the person or thing hadn’t been lost.

Summary and Key Points
Content: If you do it enough, you’ll begin to change your default way of interpreting difficult situations to be more flexible and realistic. This is a huge step in becoming more resilient. Trait #2: Sense of Purpose
Purpose doesn’t have to be something grandiose or spiritual. Having a sense of purpose can simply mean that you have positive things in your life that you are excited about, curious about, look forward to, and that you consider valuable. The more of these intrinsic values we have, the stronger our sense of purpose and therefore the more motivation we have to push through difficulties. Here’s an example of how a modest sense of purpose can help us stay resilient in the face of adversity: I had a client once who lost her mother to cancer suddenly at a relatively young age. My client was devastated. For the first few weeks after her mother’s death she hardly left the house, barely ate, and was almost totally disconnected from her family and friends. | https://nickwignall.com/resilient/ |

Content: Adaptability
People who are resilient to the stressors in their life have an uncanny ability to be flexible when circumstances change. Rather than becoming paralyzed or resorting to wishing and complaining that things were different, they set about to change the one thing they actually have control over—themselves. In other words, resilient people have a knack for being creative and inventive in the face of stress which allows them to adapt and “roll with” their difficulties rather than crumble or try to escape. One of the best examples of everyday resilience and adaptability came from a client of mine and how she learned to communicate better with her husband. By nature, this client of mine had a very direct, matter-of-fact style of communicating. As soon as she recognized something was wrong, she wanted | https://nickwignall.com/resilient/ |

Content: What are the benefits of self-awareness? It’s hard to overstate the benefits of self-awareness, so I’ll just list a few of the most common positives that come from increasing our self-awareness: Better relationships. It’s difficult to ask for what we want and need in a relationship when we’re not very clear about those things ourselves. What’s more, the less self-awareness we have, the easier it is to get defensive in our interactions with people, which is a recipe for disaster in any type of relationship. If you want to improve your relationships, start by trying to become more self-aware. Improved moods. Our mood and how we tend to feel hour-to-hour is largely dependent on how we choose to think and behave. When we improve our awareness of the relationship between thoughts, behavior, and emotion, it becomes easier to regulate our feelings and moods. Clearer thinking and better decision-making. | https://nickwignall.com/self-awareness/ |

Achieving a clearer sense of what you believe and what you really want makes it far easier to communicate in any aspect of life, whether it’s with a spouse, manager at work, or best friend.

Content: 1. Pay attention to what bothers you about other people
Often the things that irritate us the most in other people are a reflection of some quality we dislike in ourselves. We all have aspects of ourselves that we’re not proud of—a tendency to bend the truth a little too often, for example. Or maybe we avoid conflict like the plague, often ending up feeling like a doormat or getting used by those around us. If we don’t know how—or believe it’s possible—to change these things, we can end up doing the next best thing: Not thinking about them. And while ignorance can feel like bliss, it isn’t really. Not in the long-term. So, whenever someone does something that seems to particularly annoy or irritate you, ask yourself: Could this be a reflection of something in me that I dislike? | https://nickwignall.com/self-awareness/ |

this
process,
it
is
virtually
impossible
for

choice
people

thus

Hispanic/Latino Civil Rights
Hispanics and Latinos in the United States have faced many of the same problems as African Americans and Native Americans. Although the terms Hispanic and Latino are often used interchangeably, they are not the same. Hispanic usually refers to native speakers of Spanish. Latino refers to people who come from, or whose ancestors came from, Latin America. Not all Hispanics are Latinos. Latinos may be of any race or ethnicity; they may be of European, African, Native American descent, or they may be of mixed ethnic background. Thus, people from Spain are Hispanic but are not Latino. Many Latinos became part of the U.S. population following the annexation of Texas by the United States in 1845 and of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado following the War with Mexico in 1848. Most were subject to discrimination and could find employment only as poorly paid migrant farm workers, railroad workers, and unskilled laborers. | https://nigerianscholars.com/tutorials/american-civil-liberties-and-rights/hispanic-latino-civil-rights/ |

Most were subject to discrimination and could find employment only as poorly paid migrant farm workers, railroad workers, and unskilled laborers. The Spanish-speaking population of the United States increased following the Spanish-American War in 1898 with the incorporation of Puerto Rico as a U.S. territory. In 1917, during World War I, the Jones Act granted U.S. citizenship to Puerto Ricans. In the early twentieth century, waves of violence aimed at Mexicans and Mexican Americans swept the Southwest. Mexican Americans in Arizona and in parts of Texas were denied the right to vote, which they had previously possessed, and Mexican American children were barred from attending Anglo-American schools.

Content: The Spanish-speaking population of the United States increased following the Spanish-American War in 1898 with the incorporation of Puerto Rico as a U.S. territory. In 1917, during World War I, the Jones Act granted U.S. citizenship to Puerto Ricans. In the early twentieth century, waves of violence aimed at Mexicans and Mexican Americans swept the Southwest. Mexican Americans in Arizona and in parts of Texas were denied the right to vote, which they had previously possessed, and Mexican American children were barred from attending Anglo-American schools. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, Mexican immigrants and many Mexican Americans, both U.S.-born and naturalized citizens, living in the Southwest and Midwest were deported by the government so that Anglo-Americans could take the jobs that they had once held. When the United States entered World War II, however, Mexicans were invited to immigrate to the United States as farmworkers under the Bracero ( bracero meaning “manual laborer” in Spanish) Program to make it possible for these American men to enlist in the armed services. Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans did not passively accept discriminatory treatment, however. In 1903, Mexican farmworkers joined with Japanese farmworkers, who were also poorly paid, to form the first union to represent agricultural laborers. In 1929, Latino civil rights activists formed the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) to protest against discrimination and to fight for greater rights for Latinos. Just as in the case of African Americans, however, true civil rights advances for Hispanics and Latinos did not take place until the end of World War II. | https://nigerianscholars.com/tutorials/american-civil-liberties-and-rights/hispanic-latino-civil-rights/ |

Hispanic and Latino activists targeted the same racist practices as did African Americans and used many of the same tactics to end them. In 1946, Mexican American parents in California, with the assistance of the NAACP, sued several California school districts that forced Mexican and Mexican American children to attend segregated schools. In the case of Mendez v. Westminster (1947), the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Court held that the segregation of Mexican and Mexican American students into separate schools was unconstitutional. Although Latinos made some civil rights advances in the decades following World War II, discrimination continued. Alarmed by the large number of undocumented Mexicans crossing the border into the United States in the 1950s, the United States government began Operation Wetback ( wetback is a derogatory term for Mexicans living unofficially in the United States). | https://nigerianscholars.com/tutorials/american-civil-liberties-and-rights/hispanic-latino-civil-rights/ |

From 1953 to 1958, more than three million Mexican immigrants, and some Mexican Americans as well, were deported from California, Texas, and Arizona. To limit the entry of Hispanic and Latino immigrants to the United States, in 1965 Congress imposed an immigration quota of 120,000 newcomers from the Western Hemisphere. At the same time that the federal government sought to restrict Hispanic and Latino immigration to the United States, the Mexican American civil rights movement grew stronger and more radical, just as the African American civil rights movement had done. While African Americans demanded Black Power and called for Black Pride, young Mexican American civil rights activists called for Brown Power and began to refer to themselves as Chicanos, a term disliked by many older, conservative Mexican Americans, in order to stress their pride in their hybrid Spanish-Native American cultural identity. Demands by Mexican American activists often focused on improving education for their children, and they called upon school districts to hire teachers and principals who were bilingual in English and Spanish, to teach Mexican and Mexican American history, and to offer instruction in both English and Spanish for children with limited ability to communicate in English. | https://nigerianscholars.com/tutorials/american-civil-liberties-and-rights/hispanic-latino-civil-rights/ |

In March 1968, Chicano students at five high schools in East Los Angeles went on strike to demand better education for students of Mexican ancestry. Los Angeles schools did not allow Latino students to speak Spanish in class and gave no place to study Mexican history in the curriculum. Guidance counselors also encouraged students, regardless of their interests or ability, to pursue vocational careers instead of setting their sights on college. Some students were placed in classes for the mentally challenged even though they were of normal intelligence. As a result, the dropout rate among Mexican American students was very high. | https://nigerianscholars.com/tutorials/american-civil-liberties-and-rights/hispanic-latino-civil-rights/ |

Content: That same year, Congress passed the Bilingual Education Act, which required school districts with large numbers of Hispanic or Latino students to provide instruction in Spanish. Bilingual education remains controversial, even among Hispanics and Latinos. What are some arguments they might raise both for and against it? Are these different from arguments coming from whites? Mexican American civil rights leaders were active in other areas as well. Throughout the 1960s, Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta fought for the rights of Mexican American agricultural laborers through their organization, the United Farm Workers (UFW), a union for migrant workers they founded in 1962. Chavez, Huerta, and the UFW proclaimed their solidarity with Filipino farm workers by joining them in a strike against grape growers in Delano, California, in 1965. Chavez consciously adopted the tactics of the African American civil rights movement. In 1965, he called upon all U.S. consumers to boycott California grapes, and in 1966, he led the UFW on a 300-mile march to Sacramento, the state capital, to bring the state farm workers’ problems to the attention of the entire country. The strike finally ended in 1970 when the grape growers agreed to give the pickers better pay and benefits. | https://nigerianscholars.com/tutorials/american-civil-liberties-and-rights/hispanic-latino-civil-rights/ |

The boycott, organized by Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers using the slogan “Sí se puede” or “Yes, it can be done!” ( b), ultimately forced California growers to improve conditions for migrant laborers. As Latino immigration to the United States increased in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, discrimination also increased in many places. In 1994, California voters passed Proposition 187. | https://nigerianscholars.com/tutorials/american-civil-liberties-and-rights/hispanic-latino-civil-rights/ |

Social settings have an influence as well. People drink more than usual when participating in drinking games, which have become common on some campuses. Peer group norms in many sororities and fraternities accept getting drunk as part of college life. The norm for most fraternity parties is to drink heavily. In focus groups, female students talked about warning signs such as getting too drunk or getting attention from men who have a reputation for forcing sex. However, most of these women said they believed that they were protected by the social setting because other people were nearby.

Introduction
A widespread technology that allows people to connect with anyone, anywhere, has created concerns for corrections officials. The use of inexpensive, disposable cell phones has changed the age-old cat-and-mouse game of controlling whom inmates communicate with in the outside world and is creating serious problems for public safety officials. In the 1990s, cellular phones were larger and heavier and had audio capabilities only. Today they are lightweight, can be thinner than a match- book, and can send both audio and data, including written messages and streaming video. Although these advances are welcome in society in general, they have had a negative impact on the law enforcement community, as criminals have taken advantage of cellular technology to conduct illegal activities. Cell Phones Are a Widespread Problem
Talking About Cell Phones
In 2010, NIJ hosted a plenary session "Cell Phones in Prisons," which involved a discussion among Federal and State Corrections officials, the FCC and NTIA. Listen to the plenary or read the transcript. The issue of cellular phone use by criminals, especially prison and jail inmates, gained national attention when a death row inmate used a cell phone to threaten a Texas senator. In Nevada, prison officials fired a dental assistant for helping an inmate get a cell phone to plan a successful escape. In New York, an inmate used a cell phone to orchestrate an attempted escape while on a medical transfer. | https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/cell-phones-prisons |

In Tennessee, prison officials banned jars of peanut butter after learning that an inmate accused in the shooting death of a guard had used a jar to hide the cell phone he used to coordinate his escape. Prisoners have also used cell phones to harass and threaten their victims. In Texas, courts have convicted more than a dozen corrections officers in recent years for accepting bribes in exchange for cell phones or phone parts. Cell Phones as Contraband
The number of contraband cell phones being confiscated is also noteworthy. For example, in California, correctional officers seized 1,331 cell phones in the first six months of 2008. | https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/cell-phones-prisons |

The number of contraband cell phones being confiscated is also noteworthy. For example, in California, correctional officers seized 1,331 cell phones in the first six months of 2008. Corrections officials in other states have also reported finding hundreds of cell phones. Corrections officials have spent millions of dollars to outfit prisons and jails with metal detectors, but the detectors do little to stem the flow of cell phones from the outside. Some cell phone parts are made of plastic and go undetected. Shutting Down Cell Phones
Summary of Technological Approaches to Combating Contraband Cell Phone Use in Prisons
Blocking cell phone service involves using technologies to stop the transmission or reception of other radio signals. In some cases, blocking signals can be tuned to leave specific frequencies open, which would allow for communication among corrections personnel, or they can block almost all signals. | https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/cell-phones-prisons |

Content: NIJ ( see reuse policy ). Shootings are just one of many traumatic events that children may face at school. They may also be threatened or injured by a weapon, be bullied, be physically assaulted, or be affected by natural disasters. In support of stakeholder efforts to ensure that students are safe in school, NIJ has funded numerous initiatives over the years that evaluate school safety practices. These efforts range from how to prevent tragic incidents like school shootings to how to promote a positive school environment where day-to-day challenges, like bullying and harassment, can be reduced. Historical School Safety Efforts
Although federal programs and policies related to school safety can be traced to the early 1970s, the United States did not begin collecting national data on school violence until 1989, [2] when the School Crime Supplement was added to the National Crime Victimization Survey. The School Crime Supplement was conducted for a second time in 1995 and then became a biannual survey starting in 1999. Mass Shooting Research
Mass murder and shooting sprees are tragic and traumatizing events. When they occur in school settings with child victims, they are particularly shocking. NIJ-supported research seeks to improve our understanding of mass shooters and mass shooting incidents to inform efforts to prevent and deter future attacks. | https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/making-schools-safe-students |

Mass murder and shooting sprees are tragic and traumatizing events. When they occur in school settings with child victims, they are particularly shocking. NIJ-supported research seeks to improve our understanding of mass shooters and mass shooting incidents to inform efforts to prevent and deter future attacks. Ongoing projects supported by NIJ include the creation of a mass shooter database with events dating back to 1966, a study on the pathways and trajectories of school shooting perpetrators, and an examination of the short- and long-term impact school shootings have on communities. A series of school shootings in the late 1990s, including the one that occurred at Columbine High School, led to new programs that examined the thinking, planning, and other pre-attack behaviors of school shooters. One such program was the Safe School Initiative led by the U.S. Department of Education and U.S. Secret Service. As part of this initiative, NIJ supported a 2002 study that explored the behavior of student-attackers in an effort to identify information that could help communities prevent future attacks. [ 3] The study evaluated 37 incidents of targeted school violence in the United States between December 1974 and May 2000. | https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/making-schools-safe-students |

Defining values and principles and incorporating them into every facet of operations may be more important than hiring decisions. Diligence in detecting and addressing misconduct will show officers that managers practice what they preach. How to Improve Integrity
Findings from a study of 3,235 officers from 30 mostly municipal law enforcement agencies reveal the following recommendations for police managers [4]: Address and discipline minor offenses so officers learn that major offenses will be disciplined too. Open the disciplinary process to public scrutiny. Rotate officer assignments to discourage the formation of bonds that lead officers to cover up the misconduct of others. Many departments are improving integrity and raising the standards for officers by taking the following steps: Improving the way they hire and train officers in ethics and cultural awareness. Collecting data to track traffic stops and other encounters with citizens. Soliciting community input through citizen review boards, ombudsmen or community problem-solving initiatives. | https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/police-integrity-and-how-improve-it |

This was no ordinary telephone call. A Baltimore man allegedly used a cell phone to arrange a murder, offering to pay $2,500 for the crime, according to Maryland federal prosecutors. Moreover, the man should not have had a cell phone — he was in the Baltimore City Jail on the evening he allegedly placed the fateful call. Indeed, according to the federal indictment, he was being held on a murder charge and made the call to arrange the killing of a witness to the original murder. Cell phones and the electric chargers that power them are just the latest form of contraband that correctional institutions grapple with daily. | https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/using-technology-make-prisons-and-jails-safer |

One NIJ-sponsored pilot program that enjoyed success used a millimeter wave imaging system to scan visitors at the Graterford State Correctional Institution in Pennsylvania. The imaging system can look through clothing to detect weapons, cell phones and nonmetallic objects. Currently used by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to scan passengers at an increasing number of airports, the system was tested and evaluated at Graterford, a maximum-security facility that houses about 3,100 inmates outside Philadelphia. A person steps into a "portal," which looks like a booth. The system beams radio energy in the millimeter wave spectrum from antennas that rotate around the person. | https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/using-technology-make-prisons-and-jails-safer |

Content: It is reprinted with permission of the American Correctional Association, Alexandria, VA. All rights reserved. Hardly a new issue, the ongoing difficulty finding and retaining good staff has intensified to the point where many jurisdictions are now in full crisis mode. [ 1] For example, Kansas and West Virginia have recently issued state of emergency declarations in response to understaffed institutions. [ 2] Correctional officer vacancy rates in some prisons approach 50% as of late including two Mississippi institutions. [ 3] Although community supervision agencies typically fare better, probation and parole officer vacancy rates have been reported as high as 20%. [ 4] And in some state prisons, annual correctional officer turnover rates as high as 55%, test the system’s essential functionality. [ 5]
Given the shrinking pool of qualified workers, agencies often compete for candidates, and the sector, for a variety of reasons, appears to be losing the competition for talent. To address the corrections workforce shortage, the RAND Corporation and the University of Denver (DU) analyzed insights from a work group of agency executives and academics who have researched the correctional workforce. This work, sponsored by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), identified a series of 64 systemic needs, with 13 top-tier needs associated with the following five themes, described in more depth below: | https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/workforce-issues-corrections |
