The Future of Correctional Rehabilitation Moving Beyond the RNR Model and Good Lives Model Debate

The Future of Correctional Rehabilitation Moving Beyond the RNR Model and Good Lives Model Debate

In the aftermath of Martinson’s 1974 nothing works doctrine scholars have made a concerted effort to develop an evidence-based corrections theory and practice to show what works to change offenders. Perhaps the most important contribution to this effort was made by a group of Canadian psychologists most notably Donald Andrews James Bonta and Paul Gendreau who developed a treatment paradigm called the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) model which became the dominant theory of correctional treatment. This approach was more recently challenged by a perspective developed by Tony Ward Shadd Maruna and others called the Good Lives Model (GLM). Based in part on desistance research and positive psychology this model proposes to rehabilitate offenders by building on the strengths offenders possess. GLM proponents see the RNR model as a deficit model that fixes dynamic risk factors rather than identifying what offenders value most and using these positive factors to pull them out of crime. Through a detailed examination of both models’ theoretical and correctional frameworks The Future of Correctional Rehabilitation: Moving Beyond the RNR Model and Good Lives Model Debate probes the extent to which the models offer incompatible or compatible approaches to offender treatment and suggests how to integrate the RNR and GLM approaches to build a new and hopefully more effective vision for offender treatment. A foreword by renowned criminologist Francis T. Cullen helps put the material into context. This book will be of much interest to scholars and students studying correctional rehabilitation as well as practitioners working with offenders. | The Future of Correctional Rehabilitation Moving Beyond the RNR Model and Good Lives Model Debate

The East Asian Model Transformation and Sustainability

The East Asian Model Transformation and Sustainability

Hyungkee Kim analyses the model of East Asian development as it existed during periods of high growth and how it was transformed by pressures from both the Washington consensus and its own internal contradictions. Many have discussed the successes and failures of the East Asian model but Kim is concerned rather with the story of its transformation and its long-term sustainability. He uses a Five Sector Model which focuses on the state corporate financial labour and foreign sectors to identify the core of East Asian model and examine the variants in Korea Japan and China. He also outlines the distinctions between the East Asian model and Western development models including the Anglo-American Rhine and Nordic models. He analyses in detail the institutional changes such as marketization privatization liberalization and flexibilization that have transformed the East Asian model. Highlighting the major problems that emerged from the transformation of the East Asian model Kim assesses its prospects for economic social and ecological sustainability and proposes an agenda for institutional reforms. An essential reading for scholars of East Asian political economy. | The East Asian Model Transformation and Sustainability

Mixture Model-Based Classification

Mixture Model-Based Classification

This is a great overview of the field of model-based clustering and classification by one of its leading developers. McNicholas provides a resource that I am certain will be used by researchers in statistics and related disciplines for quite some time. The discussion of mixtures with heavy tails and asymmetric distributions will place this text as the authoritative modern reference in the mixture modeling literature. (Douglas Steinley University of Missouri)Mixture Model-Based Classification is the first monograph devoted to mixture model-based approaches to clustering and classification. This is both a book for established researchers and newcomers to the field. A history of mixture models as a tool for classification is provided and Gaussian mixtures are considered extensively including mixtures of factor analyzers and other approaches for high-dimensional data. Non-Gaussian mixtures are considered from mixtures with components that parameterize skewness and/or concentration right up to mixtures of multiple scaled distributions. Several other important topics are considered including mixture approaches for clustering and classification of longitudinal data as well as discussion about how to define a clusterPaul D. McNicholas is the Canada Research Chair in Computational Statistics at McMaster University where he is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. His research focuses on the use of mixture model-based approaches for classification with particular attention to clustering applications and he has published extensively within the field.

Multilevel Model Foundations Monopoly Data and Stata

Multilevel Model Foundations Monopoly Data and Stata

This book introduces the foundations of multilevel models using Monopoly® rent data from the classic board game and the statistical program Stata®. Widespread experience with the game means many readers have a head start on understanding these models. The small-data set 132 rent values for 22 properties clustered by the four sides of the playing board combines with extensive graphical displays of data and results so all readers can see core multilevel ideas in action at a granular level. Two chapters on standard statistical models one-way analysis of variance and multiple regression help readers see how multilevel models rely on but also extend these monolevel ideas. Chapters present three basic multilevel models for cross-sectional analyses – analysis of variance analysis of covariance and random coefficients regression – and one basic developmental model for longitudinal analyses. Troubleshooting guidance combined with close examination of data patterns and careful inspection of model parameters all help readers better grasp what model results mean when model results should or should not be trusted and how model results link back to core theoretical questions. Consequently readers will develop a sense of best practices for building and diagnosing their own multilevel models. Those who complete the volume can readily apply what they have learned to more complex datasets and models and adapt available online Stata do files to those projects. Any social scientist working with data clustered in time in space or in both and seeking to learn more about how to use interpret or teach these models will find the book useful. | Multilevel Model Foundations Monopoly® Data and Stata

Beyond First Order Model Theory Volume I and II

Beyond First Order Model Theory Volume I and II

Model theory is the meta-mathematical study of the concept of mathematical truth. After Afred Tarski coined the term Theory of Models in the early 1950’s it rapidly became one of the central most active branches of mathematical logic. In the last few decades ideas that originated within model theory have provided powerful tools to solve problems in a variety of areas of classical mathematics including algebra combinatorics geometry number theory and Banach space theory and operator theory. The two volumes of Beyond First Order Model Theory present the reader with a fairly comprehensive vista rich in width and depth of some of the most active areas of contemporary research in model theory beyond the realm of the classical first-order viewpoint. Each chapter is intended to serve both as an introduction to a current direction in model theory and as a presentation of results that are not available elsewhere. All the articles are written so that they can be studied independently of one another. The first volume is an introduction to current trends in model theory and contains a collection of articles authored by top researchers in the field. It is intended as a reference for students as well as senior researchers. This second volume contains introductions to real-valued logic and applications abstract elementary classes and applications interconnections between model theory and function spaces nonstucture theory and model theory of second-order logic. Features A coherent introduction to current trends in model theory. Contains articles by some of the most influential logicians of the last hundred years. No other publication brings these distinguished authors together. Suitable as a reference for advanced undergraduate postgraduates and researchers. Material presented in the book (e. g abstract elementary classes first-order logics with dependent sorts and applications of infinitary logics in set theory) is not easily accessible in the current literature. The various chapters in the book can be studied independently. | Beyond First Order Model Theory Volume I and II

Legal Ethics for Lawyers A New Model

Legal Ethics for Lawyers A New Model

This book proposes a new model of professional ethics enabling lawyers to advise clients upon both the law and ethics. This will better protect clients and society and enhance lawyers’ professional obligations. The current model of legal ethics developed in the 19th century specified that the role of lawyers was only to interpret the law not also to give ethical advice. This was acceptable to lawyers clients and society at that time. However this is not the case now and legal ethics no longer reflects the needs of modern legal practice. This book draws on moral philosophy to present a new model of legal ethics that explains the analytical process to include ethical advice. It analyses the potential harm of the present model to the legal profession who have duties to the law and justice that may compete with demands by clients to serve them. Further lawyers’ duty to clients to act in their best interests is sometimes not adequately fulfilled as legal ethics does not permit lawyers to give ethical advice even if it may be in clients’ best interests to do so. The work includes a detailed case study of corporate law practice to show why a new legal ethics is required. Other case examples are provided to demonstrate that lawyers practicing in all areas of law encounter ethical issues and they too will benefit from a new legal ethics. The book will be essential reading for students academics lawyers and professional bodies. | Legal Ethics for Lawyers A New Model

A Kryptic Model of the Incarnation

A Kryptic Model of the Incarnation

The Incarnation traditionally understood as the metaphysical union between true divinity and true humanity in the one person of Jesus Christ is one of the central doctrines for Christians over the centuries. Nevertheless many scholars have objected that the Scriptural account of the Incarnation is incoherent. Being divine seems to entail being omniscient omnipotent and omnipresent but the New Testament portrays Jesus as having human properties such as being apparently limited in knowledge power and presence. It seems logically impossible that any single individual could possess such mutually exclusive sets of properties and this leads to scepticism concerning the occurrence of the Incarnation in history. A Kryptic Model of the Incarnation aims to provide a critical reflection of various attempts to answer these challenges and to offer a compelling response integrating aspects from analytic philosophy of religion systematic theology and historical-critical studies. Loke develops a new Kryptic model of the Incarnation drawing from the Greek word Krypsis meaning ’hiding’ and proposing that in a certain sense Christ’s supernatural properties were concealed during the Incarnation.

Model-Assisted Bayesian Designs for Dose Finding and Optimization Methods and Applications

Model-Assisted Bayesian Designs for Dose Finding and Optimization Methods and Applications

Bayesian adaptive designs provide a critical approach to improve the efficiency and success of drug development that has been embraced by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This is particularly important for early phase trials as they form the basis for the development and success of subsequent phase II and III trials. The objective of this book is to describe the state-of-the-art model-assisted designs to facilitate and accelerate the use of novel adaptive designs for early phase clinical trials. Model-assisted designs possess avant-garde features where superiority meets simplicity. Model-assisted designs enjoy exceptional performance comparable to more complicated model-based adaptive designs yet their decision rules often can be pre-tabulated and included in the protocol—making implementation as simple as conventional algorithm-based designs. An example is the Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design the first dose-finding design to receive the fit-for-purpose designation from the FDA. This designation underscores the regulatory agency's support of the use of the novel adaptive design to improve drug development. Features Represents the first book to provide comprehensive coverage of model-assisted designs for various types of dose-finding and optimization clinical trials Describes the up-to-date theory and practice for model-assisted designs Presents many practical challenges issues and solutions arising from early-phase clinical trials Illustrates with many real trial applications Offers numerous tips and guidance on designing dose finding and optimization trials Provides step-by-step illustrations of using software to design trials Develops a companion website (www. trialdesign. org) to provide freely available easy-to-use software to assist learning and implementing model-assisted designs Written by internationally recognized research leaders who pioneered model-assisted designs from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center this book shows how model-assisted designs can greatly improve the efficiency and simplify the design conduct and optimization of early-phase dose-finding trials. It should therefore be a very useful practical reference for biostatisticians clinicians working in clinical trials and drug regulatory professionals as well as graduate students of biostatistics. Novel model-assisted designs showcase the new KISS principle: Keep it simple and smart! | Model-Assisted Bayesian Designs for Dose Finding and Optimization Methods and Applications
