Working in High School and Adaptation in the Transition to Young Adulthood among African American Youth

Researchers have found mixed support for documenting whether work is protective or harmful during adolescence. This study examined the association between work and problem behaviors among African American youth (N = 592; 53% female; M = 14.8 years, SD = .60) followed from mid-adolescence to young adulthood over eight Waves (90% response rate over the first four Waves and a 68% response rate across all eight Waves). We explored three competing operationalizations of work: work history (never worked, worked), work intensity (no work, 20 h or less, and 21 h or over), and work trajectories (never worked, episodic work, stopped working, late starter, and consistent worker). Non-working youth reported higher marijuana use during young adulthood than their working counterparts. Nonworkers reported lower self-acceptance during young adulthood than those working greater number of hours per week. Differences in work trajectories for cigarette use, depression, and anxiety during adolescence imply that when and for how long youth work are also important factors to explore. Our findings lend tentative support to the work benefits perspective and suggest that the association between work and problem behaviors may depend on the work measure used. We discuss the implications of employing different work measures in adolescent research.

Work Requirements in Public Housing: Impacts on Tenant Employment and Evictions

In recent years, many have debated adopting work requirements in the public housing program, and a limited number of public housing agencies (PHA) have implemented these policies through the flexibility provided by the Moving to Work program. One such agency—the Charlotte Housing Authority (CHA)—has implemented a work requirement across five (of 15) public housing developments that mandates households to work 15 hr weekly or face sanctions. This article evaluates this policy and presents the first empirical analysis on the outcomes of a work requirement on employment and evictions. We find that, following work requirement enforcement, the percentage of impacted households paying minimum rent (a proxy for nonemployment) decreased versus a comparison group. Analysis of additional data on both employment and hours worked indicates similar results regarding employment gains, but no increase in average hours worked. We find no evidence that work requirement sanctions increased evictions, and very modest evidence that enforcement increased the rate of positive move-outs such as moves to unsubsidized housing.     

新时期公安工作贯彻群众路线的思考

群众路线是公安工作的生命线和根本路线,公安机关各级领导干部要主动适应当前形势的新变化,牢牢把握人民群众的新期待,积极探索新形势下专门工作与群众路线相结合的新办法,着力提高广大民警做好群众工作的本领,不断密切同人民群众的血肉联系,努力为公安工作赢得最广泛、最可靠、最牢固的群众基础。     

跨行政区划检察院案件管辖

确定跨行政区划检察院设置及其案件管辖，应当基于我国单一制的国家结构形式、诉讼经济原理、司法改革相关政策、行政区划改革政策等因素，以及跨行政区划检察院管理体制。必须以坚持检察职权法定为前提，弄清楚跨行政区划检察院管辖的案件从哪里来，到哪里去。由跨行政区划检察院的功能所决定，其管辖案件应当实行固定管辖与接受指定管辖相结合。其固定管辖案件需要与按行业设置的公安机关侦查职能大致衔接，与跨行政区划法院的管辖范围大致对应。其接受指定管辖的案件应当是具有受地方因素影响的高度可能性的案件或者已经受到地方因素影响的案件。     

保卫模式及其属性分析

从保卫主体上分析,公安保卫工作有指导监督型模式和派出型模式两种,单位保卫工作则有自我型模式、保安型模式和结合型模式三种。根据公安机关与单位治安保卫机构两者联系方式的不同,保卫工作大致可分为指导监督自我型模式、指导监督保安型模式、指导监督结合型模式和公安特派员型模式。按照《企业事业单位内部治安保卫条例》的规定,保卫工作不具有公安工作的属性,但对此认识不必僵化,从新出现的公安特派员型模式来看,其保卫工作是具有公安工作属性的。     

社区类型与邻里关系特质——以北京为例

受传统主义、社会主义和市场经济三大因素的影响,我国城市社区形成了三种基本类型:第一种类型是街道平房社区;第二种类型是社会主义工业化建设时期的单位社区;第三种类型是20世纪90年代以后兴起的商品楼社区。值得注意的是,我国城市在出现“富人区”与“穷人区”分化的同时,也出现了不同居住阶层居民混住的特征,而市区之外不同居住层次的小区则出现了分区混在的特点。探索在社区空间中消除居民之间阶层差异的机制,以生活主义为基本原理重构居民生活体系,是我国城市社会面临的一个重要课题。     

以公安信息化引领现代警务机制建设

社会治安的显著变化要求公安工作必须有所突破，严峻复杂的社会治安形势要求我们必须大力实施科技强警战略。围绕信息化建设总体要求，闵行分局积极配合开展信息平台建设，并强化工作应用。目前，公安信息化已经对公安工作现代化和公安队伍正规化建设产生深刻影响，传统的侦查手段和破案方式发生了新变化，公安信息化前景广阔。     

试探大学生思想教育网络化

随着人类进入信息社会，网络以其独特的方式影响着社会各个领域。大学生作为一种特殊的群体，网络给他们的思想带来了诸多影响，可借助网络，做好大学生思想教育工作。     

完善非道路交通事故处理工作的思考

由于交通事故处理法规的滞后性,非道路交通事故处理工作存在着管辖权限混乱、执法无明确依据、惩戒教育力度不够、有放纵违法犯罪可能等问题,已成为当前影响农村社会稳定及制约公安工作的一个薄弱环节和不可忽视的因素。因此,规范非道路交通事故处理工作,使非道路交通事故处理有法可依、并且明确非道路交通事故处理的管辖权限,对道路交通管理工作将有十分重要的指导作用。
