Indicators of School Crime and Safety: 2012

Our nation's schools should be safe havens for teaching and learning, free of crime and violence. Any instance of crime or violence at school not only affects the individuals involved, but also may disrupt the educational process and affect bystanders, the school itself, and the surrounding community.Establishing reliable indicators of the current state of school crime and safety across the nation and regularly updating and monitoring these indicators is important in ensuring the safety of our nation's students. This is the aim of Indicators of School Crime and Safety. This report is the fifteenth in a series of annual publications produced jointly by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), Institute of Education Sciences (IES), in the U.S. Department of Education, and the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) in the U.S. Department of Justice. This report presents the most recent data available on school crime and student safety. The indicators in this report are based on information drawn from a variety of data sources, including national surveys of students, teachers, and principals. Sources include results from the School-Associated Violent Deaths Study, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education, the Department of Justice, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; the National Crime Victimization Survey and School Crime Supplement to the survey, sponsored by the BJS and NCES, respectively; the Youth Risk Behavior Survey, sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and the Schools and Staffing Survey and School Survey on Crime and Safety, both sponsored by NCES. The most recent data collection for each indicator varied by survey, from 2007 to 2011. Each data source has an independent sample design, data collection method, and questionnaire design, or is the result of a universe data collection. All comparisons described in this report are statistically significant at the .05 level. Additional information about methodology and the datasets analyzed in this report may be found in appendix A. This report covers topics such as victimization, teacher injury, bullying and cyber-bullying, school conditions, fights, weapons, availability and student use of drugs and alcohol, and student perceptions of personal safety at school. Indicators of crime and safety are compared across different population subgroups and over time. Data on crimes that occur away from school are offered as a point of comparison where available

Benchmarking für ein lebensphasenorientiertes Kompetenzmanagement in der Informations- und Kommunikationsbranche

Die Partner des Projektes "FLIP - Flexibilisierung durch dynamisches Personal- und Kompetenzmanagement für wissensintensive Dienstleistungen" haben sich gemeinsam die Aufgabe gestellt, neue Konzepte für ein dynamisches und flexibilisiertes Kompetenzmanagement speziell für wissensintensive Unternehmen zu entwickeln, modellhaft zu erproben und zu evaluieren. Im Fokus stehen Unternehmen der Informations- und Telekommunikationstechnik (ITK), die in idealtypischer Form die Heraus- und Anforderungen wissensintensiver Dienstleistungsunternehmen repräsentieren. Somit wird eine Branche in den Blick genommen, die unter volkswirtschaftlichen und Innovationsgesichtspunkten von besonderer Bedeutung ist. Denn gerade im ITK-Bereich sind die Wechselwirkungen zwischen gesellschaftlichen und betrieblichen Innovationsprozessen besonders stark ausgeprägt, trägt diese Branche doch maßgeblich zur Beschleunigung des technologischen, ökonomischen und sozialen Wandels bei. Exemplarisch werden im Projekt für die spezifischen Anforderungen von ITK-Unternehmen branchenspezifische Lösungen zum Kompetenzmanagement im demografischen Wandel erarbeitet und im Rahmen eines Benchmarkings zur Verfügung gestellt. Ein solcher branchenspezifischer Lösungsraum mit Fokus auf wissensintensive Tätigkeiten liegt bislang noch nicht vor. Des Weiteren findet eine Verknüpfung von mikropolitisch fundierten Ansätzen individualisierter und selbstorganisierter Lernprozesse mit Aspekten der organisationalen Entwicklung (z.B. Innovations- und Führungskultur) sowie Aspekten moderner Kommunikations- und Vernetzungsprozesse (z.B. Einsatz von kollegialer Beratung). Damit werden gezielt unterschiedliche Analyseebenen zueinander in Beziehung gesetzt. Im Vordergrund steht jedoch weniger eine kurzfristig ausgerichtete Effizienzsteigerung von Maßnahmen des Kompetenzmanagements als vielmehr eine Auseinandersetzung mit sozioökonomischen Veränderungsprozessen, mit Konzepten und Maßnahmen, die am arbeitenden Menschen und seinen individuellen, sich wandelnden Bedürfnissen und Fähigkeiten über das gesamte Erwerbsleben hinweg orientiert sind
