The influence of acculturation and stress on obesity in US latino dyads using systems science
Immigration and acculturation status impede pediatric weight management and increase stress in US Latino caregiver-child dyads. Future studies should consider immigration and acculturation status in caregivers and children as a mediator of treatment outcomes
Clinical Practice Guideline for the Evaluation and Treatment of Children and Adolescents With Obesity
Students’ and tutors’ experiences of remote ‘student–patient’ consultations
Background Remote consulting has become part of the medical student clinical experience in primary care, but little research exists regarding the impact on learning.Aim To describe the experiences of General Practitioner (GP) educators and medical students in using student-led remote consultations as an educational tool.Method A qualitative, explorative study conducted at four UK medical schools. GP educators and medical students were purposively…
Severe obesity and fitness in New York City public school youth, 2010–2018
Findings revealed that more severe obesity was associated with lower fitness. Future research is needed to develop targeted interventions to improve fitness in youth with obesity
Crisis or Opportunity? International Income Growth in Scottish Universities during Covid-19
How did Scottish universities fare in the pandemic? This paper looks at changes in income and student enrolments, comparing the pandemic years (2020–2022) to those preceding them. Despite concerns that Covid would have negative impacts across the university sector, the analysis shows that both income and student numbers increased substantially in Scotland. This article builds on a related analysis ( Armstrong 2023 ) and focuses on a selection of …

At Risk of Rights
This article explores governing through rights in a penal context by analyzing a recent case before the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom (the “Court” or “Supreme Court”), Brown v The Parole Board for Scotland et al. (UKSC 2017). The case involved a prisoner whose stay in prison was extended by several years beyond what the trial court ordered because he was unable to access offender behavior courses due to staffing shortages and waiting lists.…
Association of Physical Activity With Income, Race/Ethnicity, and Sex Among Adolescents and Young Adults in the United States
Importance: Physical activity in youth is associated with adult health. Understanding the prevalence and factors of moderate to vigorous physical activity among adolescents and young adults will guide public health and policy efforts. Objectives: To describe the current patterns of physical activity and duration among adolescents and young adults and to identify the direction and magnitude of associations between physical activity and income, rac…
Prevalence of Obesity and Severe Obesity in US Children, 1999–2016
OBJECTIVES: To provide updated prevalence data on obesity trends among US children and adolescents aged 2 to 19 years from a nationally representative sample. METHODS: We used the NHANES for years 1999 to 2016. Weight status was determined by using measured height and weight from the physical examination component of the NHANES to calculate age- and sex-specific BMI. We report the prevalence estimates of overweight and obesity (class I, class II,…
The cell and the corridor
Imprisonment is the exemplary symbol of waiting, of being stuck in a space and for a time not of our choosing. This concept of waiting is perfectly represented by the image of the prison cell. In this paper, I contrast the cell with the less familiar imagery of the corridor, a space of prison that evokes and involves mobility. Through this juxtaposition, I aim to show that prisons are as much places of movement as stillness with associated implic…
Parent‐adolescent influences on everyday dietary practices
Parents demonstrate an important influence on adolescent obesity and dietary behavior; yet, family-based obesity interventions continue to exhibit limited success among adolescents. To further inform family-based approaches for adolescent obesity treatment, we examined the perceptions of adolescent females with obesity and their mothers of the influences experienced within the parent-adolescent relationship that affect everyday dietary practices.…
Response 1
This response picks up on Valverde’s call for scholars to excavate contestable assumptions about space and time that are embedded in contemporary security arrangements. It does so by re-visiting the problem of time in punishment, focusing on how time works in sentencing and punishment theory compared to how it is experienced by prisoners. Time is both a central concern and banal quality of contemporary punishment, the most basic and so taken for …
Siting Prisons, Sighting Communities
This paper reviews the planning process for a Scottish prison located near a former mining village. Analysing the letters of objection submitted by residents offers an opportunity to explore local views about prison and community and to relate these to the unique social and spatial history of the area. The planning process itself structured how residents were able to express themselves and defined what counted as a relevant objection. After decon…
Repeat Self-Harm among Children and Adolescents Referred to a Specialist Service
Persistent Punishment
Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 22 prisoners to gather information about the characteristic features of short prison sentences. Themes raised in comments included: the frequency and quality of sentences, addiction, family, and penal legitimacy. Most of the participants had extensive experience of prison, and the effects of this played out across sentences and years, accumulating and amplifying impacts. And, despite expressions of g…
Perspectives on Punishment
The book offers an incisive collection of contemporary research into the problems of crime control and punishment. It has three inter-related aims: to take stock of current thinking on punishment, regulation, and control in the early years of a new century and in the wake of a number of critical junctures, including 9/11, which have transformed the social, political, and cultural environment; to present a selection of the diverse epistemological …
Punishing not-for-profit
While a lively debate rages over the role of the private sector in the administration of punishment, this debate focuses nearly exclusively on for profit corporations, excluding the role that nonprofit organizations play. A study of the famous Massachusetts experiment in juvenile decarceration (in the early 1970s) and its aftermath provides information about how the nonprofit sector operates in juvenile justice. This information allows for an ana…
Is the Jurisdiction of England and Wales Correctly Applying the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction
The jurisdiction of England and Wales is vastly experienced in application of the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction 1 (the Convention). The UK 2 was the fifth 3 Contracting State to the Convention, which now boasts 70 State Parties, 4 and England and Wales consistently handles a significant proportion of annual Convention applications. In terms of applications, which were processed by Central Authorities, Engl…
The emergence and implications of a mental health ethos in juvenile justice
Study of the interaction of mental health and justice systems tends to focus on the ways that the respective realms inadvertently 'capture' each other's target populations. There has been little research into a system-level analysis that can answer questions about how styles, organising principles and institutional values of one system relate to and are sometimes incorporated by the other. This paper reconsiders juvenile de-institutionalisation i…
Magazines, Cultural Policy and Globalization
This paper argues that developments associated with economic globalization have heightened the challenge of using domestic policy to foster and protect culture. Two developments associated with economic globalization and internationalization, rapid developments in information technology and the international trade regime, have rendered ineffective Canada's long-standing policy instruments designed to protect the industry. Policy discourse has als…
