6. Juvenile Justice Converges on Principles Leading to the International Harmonization of the Juvenile Justice System

Author

Subjects
juvenile justice, convention on the rights of the child, south africa, united states, massachusetts., Law
Abstract

In November 1989, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child. This Convention expected member countries to harmonize their juvenile justice systems in the direction of making the best interest of the child the main focus of their justice administration, guaranteeing the respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms of children. South Africa and the United States are examples of how member countries abided by the Convention. On one hand, South Africa ratified the Convention and gave children a unique position in its juvenile justice system, whereas, on the other hand, the United States has signed the instrument but has not fully eradicated the typical punitive traits of its system; nonetheless, both countries still move in the direction of the shared international values. In particular, in the United States, individual States – such as Massachusetts – are showing how it is possible to successfully implement the international values shared in the Convention moving to a rehabilitation model.

11. Foods of Bat s (Family Vespertilionidae) at Five Locations in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

Author

THOMAS, HOWARD H., MOOSMAN, PAUL R., PIERRE VEILLEUX, JACQUES, and HOLT, JASON

Abstract

Diet and feeding relations of six species of bats at five locations in New Hampshire and Massachusetts were studied to improve understanding of foraging niche differentiation. Fecal samples were collected from 100 Big Brown Bats (Eptesicus fuscus), 154 Little Brown Myotis (Myotis lucifugus), 49 Northern Myotis (M. septentrionalis), 54 Eastern Small-footed Myotis (M. leibii), 9 Eastern Red Bats (Lasiurus borealis), and 1 Hoary Bat (L. cinereus) netted during non-hibernation periods from 2004 to 2008 at four locations in southern New Hampshire and one in north-central Massachusetts. Beetles (Order Coleoptera) were the major food of E. fuscus (mean percentage volume = 81.6%, 97% occurrence) followed by moths (Order Lepidoptera), with scarabaeid and carabid beetles the most abundant consumed families by volume and frequency. Moths were the most important item by volume and frequency preyed on by the remaining species (M. lucifugus, mean percentage volume 30.7%, 82% occurrence; M. septentrionalis, mean percentage volume 42.7%, 82% occurrence; M. leibii, mean percentage volume 49.4%, 81% occurrence; L. borealis, mean percentage volume 62.8%, 100% occurrence; L. cinereus, mean percentage vol-ume 82%, 100% occurrence). Little Brown Myotis consumed the largest variety of prey (40); Northern Myotis consumed the highest volume of spiders (8.1%). Community similarity index values indicated diets of the three species of Myotis were more similar to each other (similarity = 0.71 ) than to those of non-Myotis. The diet of E. fuscus was more similar to that of the Myotis cluster (0.58) than to either species of Lasiurus. Results suggest that, despite faunal differences between the U.S. Northeast and other parts of North America, foraging relationships among guild members follows a similar pattern.

12. Nomadic Behavior of an Old and Formerly Territorial Eastern Coyote, Can is latrans.

Author

Way, Jonathan G. and Timm, Brad C.

Abstract

We document the fate of a female Eastern Coyote on Cape Cod, Massachusetts that was a breeding resident of a ∼30 km2 territory for at least six years (19982004) and then became nomadic. Her behavior dramatically changed in January 2005, when she was located on six occasions sleeping under sheds and/or decks in highly residential neighborhoods at the southeastern edge of her range. On 11 March 2005 she localized in a small area (95% MCP range = 5.85 km2) at the northeastern edge of her old territory, where she remained until 1 March 2006. After briefly associatihg with other Coyotes (late-February 2006), her movement patterns changed again. She used a much larger area (∼200 km2) until she was shot dead in February 2007. Tracking data indicated that she lived in localized areas during this nomadic period, possibly to avoid resident Coyote packs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

17. The impact of state intervention on 'underperforming' schools in Massachusetts: Implications for policy and practice.

Abstract

Since passage of the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) in 2002, state departments of education across the U.S. have been busy creating or modifying school accountability systems to meet NCLB guidelines. Ultimately, NCLB seeks to have all public school students proficient in English/Language Arts and mathematics by 2014. To identify schools in danger of not meeting this goal, states must establish student performance benchmarks and identify schools not making adequate yearly progress (AYP). Those consistently failing to make AYP can be ordered into "radical restructuring," which may include having the state intervene in running the school (U. S. Department of Education, 2002). Given these NCLB provisions and the growing number of schools not meeting AYP, the number of state interventions in low-performing schools will certainly increase. Accordingly, this article explores two questions about state-led interventions. First, how have teachers and administrators in underperforming schools in Massachusetts perceived state intervention? In addition, based on their perceptions, what might be done to make the process more effective? At three schools that experienced interventions from the Massachusetts Department of Education, a qualitative study explored the process of state intervention. A survey to principals in 22 of the 23 schools deemed underperforming by the state between 2000 and 2004 supplemented the in-depth qualitative work. Drawing on these mixed methods data sources, this article offers a series of proposals aimed at informing future state interventions in Massachusetts and elsewhere.
