Predicting involvement in prison gang activity: Street gang membership, social and psychological factors.
No full textThe aim of this study was to examine whether street gang membership, psychological factors, and social factors such as pre-prison experiences could predict young offenders’ involvement in prison gang activity. Data were collected via individual interviews with 188 young offenders held in a Young Offenders Institution in the United Kingdom. Results showed that psychological factors such as the value individuals attached to social status, a social dominance orientation, and anti authority attitudes were important in predicting young offenders’ involvement in prison gang activity. Further important predictors included pre-imprisonment events such as levels of threat, levels of individual delinquency, and levels of involvement in group crime. Longer current sentences also predicted involvement in prison gang activity. However, street gang membership was not an important predictor of involvement in prison gang activity. These findings have implications for identifying prisoners involved in prison gang activity, and for considering the role of psychological factors and group processes in gang research

Need-Based Street Children Management in Surakarta City of Central Java Province of Indonesia
No full textThe objective of research is to find out the characteristics of street children, the cause of children becoming street
children, and the management of street children problems in Surakarta City. As the marginalized and alienated
children from the hard environment of city, the some street children living and working in the street, work in the
street but still return back to their parents’ home everyday, then some of them work in the street and return back
to their origin once in 1 – 3 months and the problematic street adolescents disperse in a variety of certain zones
because of poverty, domestic violence, parents’ encouragement, and children’s environmental factor. The
management of street children is determined by the need and problem the street children is facing whether using
street based with street literacy, centre based and re-socialization through the open house for street children as
well as community based approaches by conducting activity and advocacy on the street children problems
involving all potencies of society. In fact, the approaches above are overlapping. The most important point is our
empathy and commitment to manager the street children problem.

The Shop on Main Street: The Holocaust in Context
No full textThe Slovak film, The Shop on Main Street (Obchod na korze), was the first Central European production to win an Oscar and also the first film about the Holocaust to win an Oscar. While fascism was anathema to the communists who ruled Czechoslovakia at the time the film was made, the road to depicting the Holocaust film under their rule was over a decade long, and the ancestry of The Shop on Main Street in domestic filmmaking was limited
Risks and vulnerability to HIV, STIs and AIDS among street children in Nepal: public health approach
No full textStreet children are a population highly at risk of HIV/AIDS/STIs, which is becoming an overriding concern. Due to the critical importance of the problem under investigation, this study focuses on the causes and consequences of risks involved in the dynamics of HIV/STIs transmission and the occurrence of AIDS. The study utilised a qualitative paradigm, with two methods of data collection from children and young people in the street; these were observation and in-depth interviews, which emerged as the most appropriate methods for investigating the HIV/AIDS risks and vulnerability of street children. The study was guided throughout by a public health theoretical framework.
The study revealed that children leave home due to parental mistreatment; they engage in risky sexual behaviour living in the street, they have little or no understanding of HIV, AIDS and STIs or of the respective relationship between these, and they have negative attitudes towards HIV/ STIs treatment and people affected by HIV/AIDS. Four domains of HIV/STIs and AIDS risks and vulnerability of street children were identified: parental mistreatment (causing vulnerability to exposure and thus the likelihood of acquiring HIV and STIs); high risk-taking sexual behaviour (creating vulnerability to infection); lack of knowledge regarding HIV, AIDS and STIs (vulnerability to re-infection); negative attitudes towards HIV/STIs treatment and people affected by HIV/AIDS (resulting in denial, failure to seek treatment and contributing to the perpetuation of the problem); and the effects of living in the street (increasing vulnerability to progression from HIV to AIDS). By exploring the prime and subsequent root risk factors, these complex interlinking risks have been analytically conceptualised, providing a model which explicates the complete phenomenon of risks and vulnerability to HIV/STIs and AIDS for street children, as well as for broader society, in a cyclical manner. Hence, HIV/STIs and AIDS is not a health problem among street children only, it is a public health problem in the broader society in Nepal.
Having identified these problems for street children, this study offers an intervention plan, the CAP model. This model extends previous public health approaches and argues for targeted action to prevent risk and vulnerability for children in the street, and suggestions for policy and legislation which would enable the implementation of the model are offered
A model of client-related violence against female street sex workers.
No full textAlthough a plethora of studies provide evidence of the extent and severity of violence that street workers experience from clients, there is little consensus across the explanations that have been advanced to account for this. To explore this, the present study examines in detail the nature of the attacks suffered by 65 street-workers. A Multidimensional Scaling analysis, (Smallest Space Analysis (SSA-I)) of 17 violent behaviours derived from a content analysis of interviews with street-workers drew attention to three distinct forms of attack. These could be interpreted in terms of Canter's (1994) Victim Role modes that have been the basis for differentiating offending styles in other violent interpersonal offences. The three Victim as Object, Victim as Vehicle and Victim as Person modes identified are consistent with different theoretical explanations for the attacks, providing a framework for integrating the diverse aetiological perspectives on violence against street sex- workers
When sexuality is in a research topic! The methodological\ud challenges in sexuality and street healing research in\ud Bangladesh
No full textThis paper is a bridge between two studies by the author: (i) completed MA research; and (ii) on-going PhD research, on male sexual health and the street healing system in Bangladesh. Street healing, a traditional healing system in Bangladesh, is at the centre of the studies. This is a popular form of folk healing in Bangladesh, where male impotency is a central issue. The author has been researching street healing to understand male sexual health-seeking behaviour in Bangladesh. In this paper, the author brings in experiences from his MA research to explore the challenges of studying sexuality and street healing in Bangladesh and concludes by describing his plan to address those issues in his on-going PhD research
VULNERABILITY OF URBAN INFORMAL SECTOR: STREET VENDORS IN YOGYAKARTA, INDONESIA
No full textThis study has been focusing on the vulnerability of street vendors in Java since the time when Java was hit severely by the economic crisis in 1997/1998, which also had reversed the trend of economic formalization in Indonesia. For this aim, a survey was conducted during the month of February 2007 in Yogyakarta and Sleman districts in Yogyakarta Special Province. The survey covered 122 street vendors in several streets in both areas. These samples consist of three groups of street vendors: food seller, non-food seller, and services providers. Based on this survey, vulnerability index of street vendors is measured. The study found that most of street vendors in Yogyakarta experience vulnerability at the medium level. In general, vulnerability of food seller vendors is higher than other vendors. Vulnerability also varies across the locations of vending.informal sector, street vendor, vulnerability, Indonesia.
