Assessing the use and impact of Anti-Social Behaviour Orders
Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) have become the main sanction for dealing with anti-social behaviour in the UK. This book provides one of the first assessments of this sanction, which has become widely used but remains extremely controversial. The report is based on detailed interviews with ASBO recipients, practitioners and community representatives in areas affected by anti-social behaviour. Examining its use and impact from these various perspectives, the book assesses the effects of ASBOs on the behaviour and attitudes of recipients as well as examining the various issues which arise in relation to their implementation. The report should be read by academics and students who want to make sense of ASBOs, practitioners who are involved in implementing them as well as policy makers who are responsible for designing this sanction. It will also be of interest to all those who have an interest in addressing the issue of anti-social behaviour.

Horrid Henry's revenge
An unabridged CD of the bestselling naughty child., so you can read along. Horrid Henry is hugely popular with children and adults - over 500,000 audio copies sold in various formats.

Wickedly subversive, hilariously funny and bang up to date, Horrid Henry's fame is spreading. In this collection, enhanced by Miranda Richardson's brilliant reading and really horrid music and sound effects, Henry accompanies his father to the office, hacks into his parents' computer, meets the Demon Dinner Lady and plans the ultimate revenge on Perfect Peter.

101 Comparing novel to conventional methods for defining adolescents’ environmental exposures using granular spatial data
Statement of PurposeExamine conventional versus innovative approaches to measuring environmental exposures posing violence risks during adolescents’ daily activities.Methods/approachUsing data from a case-control study of daily activities and assault injury among 283 10–24 years old males in Philadelphia, we compared participants’ exposure to 27 environmental risk factors using three Methods home address-based measurement (kernel density (KD)/inverse distance weighting (IDW)), minute-by-minute GIS activity path-based measurement (KD/IDW), and measured differences between actual and potential shortest trip paths (60 ft/660 ft buffers). First, we used R-squared to quantify the extent to which home address-based measures explained gold standard activity path-based measurement. Next, we divided participant’s activity paths into origin-destination segments and used intercept-only linear regressions to test for differences in environmental exposures along actual versus shortest potential trip paths.ResultsDefining environmental exposures based on participant home address resulted in significant misclassification compared to activity path measures, with home address-based measures only partially explaining exposures (R-squared range: 0.05–0.81). Additionally, we found that participants’ actual trip paths often differed from shortest potential trip paths, and resulted in statistically significant differences in exposure to vandalism, narcotics arrests, disorderly conduct, public drunkenness, alcohol outlets, and vacant properties (p<0.05).ConclusionsDefining environmental exposures based on participant home address fails to fully account for individual variability in exposure levels accrued over daily activity. Participants often selected trip paths that differed from the shortest potential trip paths, resulting in statistically significant differences in calculated exposures.Significance/Contribution to Injury and Violence Prevention ScienceSelecting among different methods for ascribing environmental risk factors to measure participants’ experiences can yield different exposure estimates, and impair our ability to accurately assess associations between environmental exposures and violence. Future research on how environments relate to injury outcomes can utilise the innovative spatial methods explored herein to measure exposures more accurately for a given hypothesis.

Disruptive behavior among emergency department patients
[...]patients and visitors can also negatively impact patient safety through interfering with communication and collaboration used in establishing therapeutic relationships. Hospital emergency departments, stressful at baseline, cannot tolerate disorderly conduct among patients or visitors in the form of abusive, combative, or threatening behavior. EPs should work with hospital security personnel to safeguard the ED, and to pursue appropriate civil and criminal actions for any injuries or harms that come to ED staff [13].
