Research examining young people’s experiences of harassment has tended to focus on the school and digital environment. Despite street harassment being identified as a common experience for adult women, very few studies have explored adolescents’ experiences of street harassment. The paper aims to discuss this issue.

A person-centred analytical approach, based on experienced reporting, was used to create a typology of street harassment. The reports of street harassment were received from 118 (68 female, 43 male, no gender reported in 7) 11-15-year olds over a 6-8 week period.

Cluster analysis revealed four distinct groups: “predominately verbal”, “non-verbal/non-direct”, “other incident”, and “all forms”. Young women and those in the “all forms” group reported experiencing greater negative emotions following the episode of street harassment. Young men were equally as likely as young women to report experiencing street harassment.

The findings uniquely highlight that adolescents experience distinct types of street harassment, some of which are associated with negative emotions.

The standard forms of construction contract are receiving greater attention in the management of projects scholarship as they probably influence the project success and project disputes. The extant literature suggests that the standard forms of construction contract are one of the top sources of disputes. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of the standard forms of construction contract, FIDIC and NEC, in reducing disputes in the Palestinian construction industry.

The researchers have used qualitative methods to collect data and more specifically have undertaken 12 semi-structured interviews.

The study reveals that the standard forms of construction contract can be a tool to minimise disputes, but certainly not to eradicate them, and NEC appears to be more capable than FIDIC to do so.

This study contributes to knowledge by bringing an industrial perspective into the role of standard forms of contract in disputes creation and avoidance. The interviewees, recurrent users of FIDIC contract, criticised certain features and expressions and proposed some solutions.

Through a survey of 200 employees working in five of the thirty establishments analysed in previous research about the microeconomic effects of reducing the working time (Cahier 25), the consequences on employees of such a reduction can be assessed; and relevant attitudes and aspirations better known.

Today, most institutional investors, practitioners, and regulators seem relatively content with the current state of the art. Although most academics and practitioners fully recognize the conceptual and technological limitations of the “state‐of‐the‐practice” models, systems, and policies, it would appear that no urgent issues remain. However, this author argues that the risk management revolution is not over, and poses some fascinating questions that remain unanswered. The author discusses some challenges that practitioners face and proposes a line of inquiry for future commentary.

This paper examines the ideas of David Hume and their importance to American public administration writing and practice. Hume’s ideas on empiricism, scepticism, and constitutionalism have indirectly, via their impact on modern philosophy, encouraged both support for and criticism of empiricist approaches in public administration. Also, Hume’s ideas on constitutionalism, because of their influence on the Founders' writings and design, provide an important legacy for the practice of public administration. The paper argues that Hume’s notion of mitigated scepticism, as well as his constitutional ideas, have continuing relevance for the study and practice of contemporary public administration.

Dr Everard introduces the article in these terms: Criticisms of the church for not getting to grips with contemporary problems of technology and work will be familiar to readers of this Journal. As a church member, I think such criticisms are well‐placed. It is therefore agreeable to have been part of an ecumenical initiative, led by the Home Mission Division of the Methodist Church, which brought together some sixty scientists, technologists and others to work on some of the ethical issues of technological change. The outcome is a report SHAPING TOMORROW which takes a positive and proactive view of the future. The final chapter, CAN WE SHAPE TOMORROW? ends with the words: ‘Don't just sit there lamenting the present situation — for God's sake do something!’ Moreover, the Report says how, in terms with which many trainers will be familiar. Four key areas of change are meatily discussed: the technology of living things; energy and material resources; the age of electronics; and the social and ethical problems of work and unemployment in technological society. With help from a trade unionist, an accountant and others, David Wright (a former industrial chaplain) and I wrote the chapter on work, its relation to wealth and reward, and the Protestant work ethic. Because it is so relevant to the Phoenix Scenario, you may like to think about what we have to say. Some of you will not agree with us: that is all to the good, because contemporary theology and sociology badly needs fashioning on the anvil of rational argument, rather than set on a pedestal of dogma and ideology.

From the perspective of emergence, professors can facilitate and shape a class as a complex, adaptive, and living system. A case study illustrates phases of emergence in the classroom by tracing how a professor may use this perspective to empower students to share in the leadership of the classroom. Instead of presenting lessons, the professor facilitates emergent activity, creating a classroom structure where students practice leadership behaviors. In this classroom structure, the professor assumes the leadership roles of coach and facilitator. As a result students building the classroom culture together they connect with each other: they develop strong relationships, take initiative, and learn important lessons about leadership. This article concludes with design principles for establishing a classroom of shared leadership in any teaching environment in any subject.
