POLICE REFORM IN DIVIDED TIMES

Introduction to the special issue ‘Tracer Applications in Sediment Research’

The confrontation between black children and young people and the apparatus of justice is the actual and symbolic moment at which the opaque institutionalised racist oppression which bears on all black people is made transparently in the official interventions and judicial disposals to which black young people are subjected. The contrast between the ethnic composition of the professional 'technicians' of the criminal justice system with that of its subjects illuminates any analysis of race, crime and justice. The institutions, structural arrangements and policies that influence the transitionary developments from childhood, through youth and into adulthood have been fundamentally reshaped and redefined. The experiences of black young people within the labour market—experiences underpinned by racism, and marginalisation—condemn disproportionate numbers of them to the miseries of claiming state benefits, where their difficulties are likely to be further compounded. There is no shortage of policy and practice initiatives that have been established to address the racialised injustices of the 'justice' process.

“There Is No<i>New</i>Black Panther Party”: The Panther-Like Formations and the Black Power Resurgence of the 1990s

Since the late 1980s, academics and activists have been drawing attention to a slow-moving global crisis: the ongoing destruction of global linguistic diversity. Despite this attention, language loss has proceeded unabated, and conservative estimates now suggest that around half the world’s languages will no longer be in use by the end of this century. In this provocation, I argue that only a global mass movement has the capacity to change the course of this crisis. I furthermore argue that a rights-based approach, centred on language rights, is our best bet for organising such a movement. Drawing on social movement studies, and my own experience as a language rights researcher and advocate, I explore three key areas where language rights provide the foundations for a mass movement in defence of linguistic diversity. First, I look at how language rights provide a discursive frame that resonates with other movements and clarifies the problem that needs to be addressed. Second, I look at how the concept of language rights can help recruit individuals and organisations into a mass movement and sustain their involvement in the cause. Third, I discuss how language rights provide a basis for effective collective action. In the conclusion I briefly discuss some of the challenges that will need to be overcome in forming a global mass movement for language rights.

PROTOCOL: Family Behavior Therapy (FBT) for young people in treatment for non‐opioid drug use

Anthropological–sociological studies since the colonial period in India largely saw tribes as homogeneous, unchanging and undifferentiated groups which were free from conflicts or exploitation. This article critiques this notion of tribe and shows heterogeneity within tribes through an analysis of the social history of Tripura in the north-east region of India and mass movement of tribal organisations like the Ganamukti Parishad therein in the late 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. As a princely State, Tripura showed the presence of socio-economic exploitation and contradiction between social strata in the second half of nineteenth century. In the late 1940s, the GMP formulated a notion of tribe that intersected the categories of peasant and class. It was the result of this formulation that class unity between tribal and non-tribal (Bengali) peasantry was an important pivot in its mass movement during this period. In addition, the development of landed class among Tripura tribes over the last few decades is a new and important feature of the state’s agrarian structure, and was further proof of the development of socio-economic heterogeneity within tribes. This article, thus, argues for a dynamic notion of tribe that changes with time and has close linkages with other categories like peasant and class.

To Grunge or Not to Grunge on the Periphery? The Polish Grunge Scene of the 1990s and the Assimilation of Cultural Patterns

Review Questions/Objectives The objective of this review is to synthesise the best available evidence on the effectiveness of population based (public health) risk reduction programs and services (interventions) on sexual and reproductive health risk taking among young people (aged 10 to 24 years old) in developing countries (countries with low and middle gross national income (GNI) per capita as defined by World Bank). The specific review questions are: 1. What is the effectiveness of population based (public health) risk reduction programs and services (interventions) on risky sexual behaviors among young people? 2. What are the characteristics of population based interventions that are effective in reducing risky behaviors among young people? 3. What specific outcome measures best assess the impact of interventions that effectively reduce sexual risk taking among adolescents in developing countries? Inclusion Criteria a. Types of Participants The review will consider individuals of ages 10 to 24 years residing in developing countries. b. Types of interventions The review will consider population based (public health) risk reduction programs and services that target young people in developing countries. c. Types of Outcomes Anticipated outcomes related to reduction in risky sexual behavior among young people include the following: Primary outcomes: Abstinence rates, rates of early/premarital sexual initiation, numbers of sexual partners, condom use at first sex, consistent and correct contraceptive (condom) use during sexual encounters among the study population, alcohol and/or substance use prior to or during sexual encounters (short term outcomes). Secondary outcomes: Pregnancies and their outcomes including rates of abortion, births (live and still), etc., STI rates, HIV/AIDS rates, maternal mortality and educational attainment levels of adolescents in the study population (Long term outcomes).

ABSTRACTSocial media are influential sociocultural forces that construct and transmit information about gender, health and bodies to young people in the digital age. In health and physical activity, Chinese people are often represented and positioned differently to other (minority) ethnic groups. For example, Black young people are often understood as having low academic motivations and aspirations but as ‘natural’ athletes; in contrast, Chinese young people, seen as the ‘model minority’ who excel in STEM subjects, are fragile, reserved and disinterested in physical movements. These public forms of representation may sit in opposition to the young people’s embodied identity. When these misrepresentations are internalised, issues such as micro-aggression and racism may have an impact on Chinese young people’s health and wellbeing. This paper aims to examine how Chinese bodies are gendered and racialised in contemporary social media sites (e.g. Google News, LiveJournal, Medium, Wordpress). Drawing on critical discourse analysis and Foucault’s concepts of normalisation and discursive practice, the paper will problematise the often taken-for-granted gendered and racialised stereotypes related to Chinese physicality and health on social media sites. Implications for developing future research and teaching resources in critical media health literacy for young people on issues related to gender and equity will be provided. The results affect how we understand, represent, and discuss Chinese (young) people on social media sites, thereby how Chinese young people engage, construct, and perform their embodied identities in Western, English speaking societies.
