Recent racial inequities as illustrated by the health disparities in COVID-19 infections and deaths, the recent killings of Black men and women by law enforcement, and the widening socioeconomic inequality and have brought systemic racism into a national conversation. These unprecedented times may have deleterious consequences, increasing stress, and trauma for many members of the neurology workforce. The Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism Committee within our Department of Neurology provides infrastructure and guidance to foster a culture of belonging and addresses the well-being of faculty, staff, and trainees. Here, we present the creation and implementation of our Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism (EDIA) Pledge, which was central to our committee's response to these unprecedented times. We outline the process of developing this unique EDIA Pledge and provide a roadmap for approaching these important topics through a Continuing Medical Education Neurology Grand Rounds aimed at fostering a diverse, inclusive, equitable, and antiracist work environment. Through the lived experiences of 4 faculty members, we identify the impact of bias and microaggressions and encourage allyship and personal development for cultural intelligence. We hope that these efforts will inspire neurology departments and other academic institutions across the globe to make a similar pledge.

Unique Type

The nature of police work includes toxic work environments and uncertain danger which imparts a unique type of occupational stress spillover or the transfer of stress from work life to home life for law enforcement officers. Work stress places officers at risk for negative health and psychosocial outcomes. While it has been shown that occupational stress can compromise the well-being of police officers, little is known about how spillover can effect other areas of life for officers such as marital relationships. This study investigates the association between work demands, emotional stress spillover, and marital functioning in a law enforcement sample. Data from 1,180 married law enforcement respondents to the Police Officer Questionnaire which included 148 items assessing work stress, health, family, and support were examined. Responses were analyzed using regression analyses. Results showed that career demands and emotional spillover were statistically significant predictors of the variance in marital functioning. Social and emotional spillover of work-related stress carries negative consequences for communication and emotion regulation within law enforcement marriages.

The Future

This chapter argues that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau presents a model for how government can serve all Americans, helping remedy individual injustices and correct larger distortions in our market economy. Providing support to consumers—ranging from financial education to law enforcement to setting regulations that reform dysfunctional practices in the marketplace—contributes to individual well-being and strengthens families. As fully two-thirds of our economic output is consumer driven, shoring up consumers and imposing sensible regulations to curb excesses of corporate power make the economy sounder and more resilient. People are anxious about the future, and they feel the indignity of corporate indifference when their legitimate concerns are ignored or dismissed. If people lose faith in government’s ability to stand up to powerful special interests, their alienation threatens to destabilize a broad and empowered middle class. Promoting and safeguarding a marketplace that serves consumers—all Americans—is essential to our democracy.

Premorbid Functioning

Victims of stalking are a diverse group, but most individuals who are subjected to the persistent pursuit of a stalker, regardless of age, gender or socioeconomic background, experience fear. Some suffer profound distress and lifestyle disruptions, and many experience a decline in their psychological and physical well-being. Stalking is not uncommon in today's society and there is evidence to suggest its incidence is increasing (Budd & Mattinson, 2000). It is therefore anticipated that the victims of these behaviours will be presenting to law enforcement and health professionals in ever-expanding numbers. The efficacy of the interventions they receive will determine whether they can reclaim their lives and premorbid functioning or whether, through ignorance, they are condemned to continuing torment and chronic disability, to the detriment of society as a whole.

Black And Latino

Proactive policing, the strategic targeting of people or places to prevent crimes, is a well-studied tactic that is ubiquitous in modern law enforcement. A 2017 National Academies of Sciences report reviewed existing literature, entrenched in deterrence theory, and found evidence that proactive policing strategies can reduce crime. The existing literature, however, does not explore what the short and long-term effects of police contact are for young people who are subjected to high rates of contact with law enforcement as a result of proactive policing. Using four waves of longitudinal survey data from a sample of predominantly black and Latino boys in ninth and tenth grades, we find that adolescent boys who are stopped by police report more frequent engagement in delinquent behavior 6, 12, and 18 months later, independent of prior delinquency, a finding that is consistent with labeling and life course theories. We also find that psychological distress partially mediates this relationship, consistent with the often stated, but rarely measured, mechanism for adolescent criminality hypothesized by general strain theory. These findings advance the scientific understanding of crime and adolescent development while also raising policy questions about the efficacy of routine police stops of black and Latino youth. Police stops predict decrements in adolescents’ psychological well-being and may unintentionally increase their engagement in criminal behavior.

Summary The past decade has witnessed an increasing number of patient assaults on doctors in China. Patient-centered communication (PCC) may be one way to mitigate this problem. This study examined the effects of PCC and patient trust on emotional health outcome, especially how patients’ attitude toward medical violence affected this relationship. Data were drawn from the China Governance and Public Policy Survey administered in 2017 with a sample size of 3784. The results showed that PCC had no direct effect on emotional well-being. Instead, patient trust completely mediated this path. Also, patients’ attitude toward medical violence increased the indirect effect of PCC on emotional well-being, suggesting a moderated mediation model. We call for education programs to promote PCC for both providers and patients, mass media campaigns to condemn violence against doctors and stricter law enforcement to stop medical violence.

Nowadays, the modernization of the education system is the basis of dynamic sustainable economic development and citizens’ well-being. The key agent for the implementation of educational policy and the developer of the legal framework governing the functioning of the educational sphere is the state and its bodies. The Kazakhstani state policy’s main priorities in the field of education are formulated in several strategic documents. Using the review approach, this article examines the current state of public policy and legal regulation in Kazakhstan’s education sector. The article analyzes key documents that define the contours and content of the main directions of public policy and legal regulation. This article attempts to identify, review, and analyze the legal characteristics of the key process and factors existing in the legal field of Kazakhstani education, such as “Bologna factor,” “soviet legacy,” “provision of quality,” etc. The article concludes that the existing legal tools do not fully comply with law enforcement practice. The interpretations of some legal acts are somewhat different, which causes difficulties for actors providing educational services. Based on the result of the analysis, the article provides the main recommendations for improving legislation in education. Acknowledgment This article was written under grant from Kazakhstan Ministry of Education and Science No. АР05135081 “Student with disabilities and distance education learning environment: socio-practical and legal dimensions” coordinated by Prof. Dr Zulfiya Movkebayeva (Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University).

The theological question raised in this article violence against women theologically, drawing and incorporating the South African government’s response to it in terms of legislation and policing strategies and the need for greater participation of communities to combat gender-related crimes. The caretaker approach of the church as the custodian of the Hebrew Bible was also highlighted. Even though a church-based care approach may be limited, it still has the potential to support the efforts of law-enforcement agencies. When women in communities do not feel safe and fear violence at the hands of men, they are forced to resort to the state to provide protection. Crime, including crime against women, draws on insecurities about the level of safety and well-being in communities. It cannot be prevented or eliminated by the police alone but by the concerted collaboration of the private sector, NGOs, faith-based organisations such as churches and the community itself.

Settlement Of Dispute

 Environmental law enforcement put forward settlement of dispute through administration law as well as civil and criminal law. Based on the principle of state responsibility, the state will guarantee that the utilization of natural resources will provide benefits for the greater well-being and quality of life, both present and future generations as a goal of the implementation of sustainable development.The formulation of the problem a point issue is environmental management in Indonesia by the state in accordance with the principle of state responsibility? And, how is the implementation of sanctions as environmental law enforcement based on Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 22 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of Environmental Protection and Management? The method used in this research is juridical normative with regulation approach. The results of the study conclude that Indonesia has not been maximized in carrying out the function of the principle of state responsibility because there is still a lot of forest destruction that has occurred, and law enforcement, both administrative, civil and criminal, should be carried out in a balanced manner so that the deterrent effect of law enforcement can be a reflection for the parties who will do environmental damage

Prosecution authorities in most countries act as guarantors of the legality and validity of criminal prosecution, thereby ensuring the social and economic well-being of the state and society. Outdated paper forms of interaction between prosecution authorities and other law enforcement agencies in criminal investigations overload the existing system and make it less effective. Using the main general scientific methods of cognition, the authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to improve the legal regulation of the digitalization of the prosecution authorities. As a result of the study, three main tasks have been identified to which the digitalization of the activities of the prosecution authorities should be directed.
