Parental notification policies, practices, and impacts in 2000 and 2002

Since the enactment of the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989, there have been several additional attempts by Congress to address the problem of alcohol abuse on college campuses. In 1 990, Congress passed the Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act containing a provision requiring institutions to notify students of the number of arrests for liquor law violations. In the 1998 Higher Education Amendments (HEA), Congress proposed a set of initiatives institutions should take to change the culture of alcohol consumption on college campuses. Entitled The Collegiate Initiative to Reduce Binge Drinking and Illegal Consumption, this particular section of HEA was not law, but only a resolution expressing the sense of Congress. HEA also renamed the Campus Security Act as the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act and expanded the data regarding alcohol violations that institutions were required to report. Prior to the 1998 Amendments, institutions were mandated only to keep and distribute data on the number of arrests for alcohol violations. HEA broadened that requirement to include persons referred for campus disciplinary action for liquor law violations. Finally, HEA included changes to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) to allow institutions to notify the parents of students under the age of 21, if those students violated Federal, State, or local laws or any rule or policy of the institution governing the use or possession of alcohol. This is now commonly referred to as parental notification

The Evaluation of Task Preference on Reinforcer Efficacy

Stimulus preference assessments have determined high and low preferred items that increase the rate of frequency of responding for various skills. Within applied settings, high preferred items may not attain the same reinforcing value across tasks which might decrease responding. The preference of the task might have an effect on reinforcer efficacy that is being presented. The purpose of the current study is to evaluate changes in reinforcer efficacy as a function of preference for the task. Three children diagnosed with ASD participated in the study. HP/LP items and HP/LP tasks were identified through paired-choice assessments, and each item was presented as a consequence for each task in a counterbalanced multi-element format. Results indicated that preference for the task had little effect of the rate of responding across items

Washington Post Locations of Unsolved Homicides in the US, 2008-2018

This point shapefile represents locations of more than 52,000 criminal homicides between the years 2008-2018 (approximately) in 50 of the largest American cities. The data includes the location of the killing, whether an arrest was made and, in most cases, basic demographic information about each victim. Reporters from the Washington Post received data in many formats, including paper, and worked for months to clean and standardize it, comparing homicide counts and aggregate closure rates with FBI data to ensure the records were as accurate as possible. In some cases, departments provided only partial information about the homicides, so reporters consulted public records, including death certificates, court records and medical examiner reports, to fill in the gaps. The data is more specific than the federal homicide data gathered annually by the FBI from police agencies nationwide. The Post mapped each homicide, identifying arrest rates by geography in each city, sharing the analysis with the local police department prior to publication. This data was downloaded at the date of the data release and converted into a shapefile by NYU Data Services. The original data is available at: https://github.com/washingtonpost/data-homicides/
