Array-ne INCREASINGLY, legislation dealing with sex offenders is being passed that is punitive, untested, expensive and, in many cases, counterproductive â demonizing people who commit sexual offenses without offering any empirical information that the new laws will reduce sexually violent crime.Last week, for instance, New York became the 19th state to enact so-called sexually violent predator legislation. This legislation provides for the indefinite civil commitment of sexual offenders who have served their time in prison and are about to be released.The legislation was passed despite a lack of evidence that such laws actually reduce sexual violence and despite recent reports of warehousing and chaos in some programs and relentlessly rising costs in others.It is just one example of the kind of punitive laws being passed across the country. What’s more, we know that sexual crimes are devastating to victims and their families and that we must do all we can to protect ourselves from predators.But demonizing people rather than treating them makes little sense, and passing laws that are tough but mindless in response to political pressure won’t solve the problem either.The reality is that, despite the popular perception to the contrary, recidivism rates for sexual offenders are among the lowest of any class of criminals. The wife of a man who committed a hands-off crime involving possession of child pornography put it this way: Each of these horrendous crimes drives another nail into our coffin.Another reason for the demonization is that society has failed to fund research on the treatment and management of people convicted of sexual crimes â despite the fact that states are willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on unproven programs for treatment and containment.The current public discourse on sex offenders is, therefore, without a base of empirical studies.

We have been trying to establish exactly what it means when a students gets a C in the LEAP program and when a student gets an A in the LEAP program. You can see, the whole idea of assessment of students’ English language proficiency is much more complex than at first glance.Basically, the way we are envisioning the LEAP program is that a C means about Canadian Benchmark Level 8, and an A means Canadian Benchmark level 9. Because of our rubrics and interrater reliability studies we have been carrying out in LEAP 4, I can pretty much guarantee the same thing for the other teachers as well.There is one more piece of the puzzle that we had to consider when we were establishing exactly what the letter grades in the LEAP program mean. If students get an A in the LEAP program, that means they are excused from writing the Effective Writing test. But what does that mean?The effective writing test evaluates students as follows:SatisfactoryMarginally SatisfactoryMarginally UnsatisfactoryUnsatisfactoryThe LEAP program doesn have any mark that is equal to satisfactory in the Effective Writing Test. An A in the LEAP 4 writing class means that the student is marginally satisfactory according to the Effective Writing Test and is excused from the Effective Writing Test. However, a C in the LEAP program means that the student is Marginally Unsatisfactory in the Effective Writing Test.

Aunt Mary is having a niece’s weekend down at her house, so I’m leaving Friday after English (bio is cancelled for fri and mon) with the Kumfermans, and am gonna hang out with some sweet people (Anna)! This is my loaf of bread that I made with Mary’s bread maker. It was bericous!These are the bottles of shave gel and boxes of monkeys (Anna will get that!) that Mary brought home one day. They were just giving away all these samples in the Romney the other day, so Mary hooked us up.I made away with about 15 bottles of shave gel from Mary cause she doesn’t use it! THIS STUFF WAS ALL FREE!Have a nice day, have a nice day.
