Mediators of the Association Between a Parent’s Experience of Trauma and Their Children’s Well-Being
At present, our understanding of trauma’s complexity is underdeveloped, particularly with regard to intergenerational effects. In this paper, we review peer-reviewed literature on parental trauma and child well-being, focusing on mediating factors. We conducted a global systematic review of longitudinal, observational studies assessing mediators between a parent’s traumatic exposure and their children’s well-being. The primary outcome of the revi…
Impact and Mental Health Mediation of Intimate Partner Violence on Child Behavior in Trinidad and Tobago
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is known to have detrimental effects on persons who directly experience this form of abuse. Emerging research also indicates that a parent’s experience of IPV may influence their children’s well-being through various intermediary pathways. However, there is still no established model to explain these mechanisms. This study is among the few that assess maternal mental health symptoms as potential mediators of the as…
Making Light Work
This article explores the multiplicity of publics that are enacted in relation to infrastructures. We take the case of street lighting infrastructure in the UK in 2013/4, at a point when innovations in light emitting diode (LED) and smart technologies were making the infrastructuring of street lighting newly visible. Multifarious, emergent and recursive publics were variously enacted by lighting professionals, researchers, and publics themselves …
Breast cancer awareness messages
While national Lebanese studies done on breast cancer attest to the importance of awareness campaigns none, however, examine the type of content that most effectively reaches women. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to examine, through an experiment, the effectiveness of direct versus indirect messaging, in altering knowledge, risk perception, attitudes, behaviors and self-efficacy among two groups of women, those aged 18–40 and 41–65 yea…
Rationality and/or Retribution
In the late 1930 s Hans Kelsen supplemented his Pure Theory of law with an evolutionist model of human social institutions, identifying what he considered to be the minimum content of a legal order and the attributes of the earliest legal orders. He argued that more rational alternatives necessarily developed through social evolution, but that the unevenness of the process allowed the survival of relics of earlier rational legal orders. Among the…
Pedestrian safety on the road to net zero
BACKGROUND: Plans to phase out fossil fuel-powered internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and to replace these with electric and hybrid-electric (E-HE) vehicles represent a historic step to reduce air pollution and address the climate emergency. However, there are concerns that E-HE cars are more hazardous to pedestrians, due to being quieter. We investigated and compared injury risks to pedestrians from E-HE and ICE cars in urban and rural en…
Absence of Street Lighting May Prevent Vehicle Crime, but Spatial and Temporal Displacement Remains a Concern
The incidence of construction site injuries to women in Delhi
This study is the first to estimate the incidence of injuries to female construction site workers in India. The overall injury rate of female construction workers was over half as great as the rate of males. This implies that female construction workers face a not insignificant risk. Hence, safety measures (e.g., personal protective equipment) that are appropriate and culturally acceptable to Indian women are needed
Surveillance, safeguarding and beyond
The Prevent Duty mandates education providers to address young people both as vulnerable to radicalisation and as (potentially) resilient. This paper argues that interventions designed to address vulnerability are problematic, as they tend to adopt the logic of safeguarding – a familiar mindset for professionals working with young people – while also extending practices of surveillance. As well as this safeguarding/surveillance nexus, however, th…

How do children travel to school in urban India? A cross-sectional study of 5,842 children in Hyderabad
Most children in Hyderabad walk (57 %) or cycle (6 %) to school. If these levels are to be maintained, there is an urgent need to ensure that walking and cycling are safe and pleasant. Social policies that decrease distances to school could have a large impact on road traffic injuries, air pollution, and physical activity levels
Contribution of food sources to the vitamin B 12 status of South Indian children from a birth cohort recruited in the city of Mysore
Objective There is evidence that subclinical vitamin B 12 (B 12 ) deficiency is common in India. Vegetarianism is prevalent and therefore meat consumption is low. Our objective was to explore the contribution of B 12 -source foods and maternal B 12 status during pregnancy to plasma B 12 concentrations. Design Maternal plasma B 12 concentrations were measured during pregnancy. Children’s dietary intakes and plasma B 12 concentrations were measured…
Integrating quasi-experimental and inductive designs in evaluation
Evaluations of ‘natural experiments’ in public policy are typically considered ‘weak’ evidence. Challenges include: making credible claims for causal inference (internal validity); generalizing beyond the case (external validity); and providing useful evidence for decision makers. In public health, where experimental evidence is encouraged by funders and enjoys a degree of rhetorical favour, in theory if not practice, current guidance for evaluat…
Reduced street lighting at night and health
Financial and carbon reduction incentives have prompted many local authorities to reduce street lighting at night. Debate on the public health implications has centred on road accidents, fear of crime and putative health gains from reduced exposure to artificial light. However, little is known about public views of the relationship between reduced street lighting and health. We undertook a rapid appraisal in eight areas of England and Wales using…
Closure through Resilience
This article argues that systemic resilience in the face of terrorism is best conceptualized as a response to disruption of the political sphere, brought about by the forceful incursion of a would-be political actor. The ideological negotiation required to deal with political disruption is related to the “cycle of contention” model: engagement may take inclusive or exclusive forms, with consequences for the openness and hence the future resilienc…
The effect of reduced street lighting on road casualties and crime in England and Wales
BACKGROUND: Many local authorities in England and Wales have reduced street lighting at night to save money and reduce carbon emissions. There is no evidence to date on whether these reductions impact on public health. We quantified the effect of 4 street lighting adaptation strategies (switch off, part-night lighting, dimming and white light) on casualties and crime in England and Wales. METHODS: Observational study based on analysis of geograph…
Does Populism Exist
From the UK Independence Party to Forza Italia, populist incomers in democratic politics typically present themselves as challengers to the system itself as well as to its current occupiers.The implicit threat is that the wave of popular discontent which the newcomer has mobilised will be so powerful as to sweep representative democracy away completely.The threat is rhetorical, but it is not always empty.The Social Democratic Party (SDP), founded…
UK open source crime data
In the United Kingdom, since 2011 data regarding individual police recorded crimes have been made openly available to the public via the police.uk website. To protect the location privacy of victims these data are obfuscated using geomasking techniques to reduce their spatial accuracy. This paper examines the spatial accuracy of the police.uk data to determine at what level(s) of spatial resolution – if any – it is suitable for analysis in the co…
Is ethnic density associated with risk of child pedestrian injury? A comparison of inter-census changes in ethnic populations and injury rates
Group density appears to protect 'Black' children living in London against pedestrian injury risk. These findings suggest that future research should focus on structural properties of societies to explain the relationships between minority ethnicity and risk

Health impacts of free bus travel for young people
BACKGROUND: We used the introduction of free bus travel for young people in London in 2005 as a natural experiment with which to assess its effects on active travel, car use, road traffic injuries, assaults, and on one measure of social inclusion, total number of trips made. METHODS: A controlled before-after analysis was conducted. We estimated trips by mode and distances travelled in the preintroduction and postintroduction periods using data f…

METHODS: An observational study based on analysis of geographically coded police road casualties d…
Autonomia and the Political
Sidney Tarrow has identified a ‘cycle of contention’ taking place in Italy between 1966 and 1972; Tarrow characterises the left-wing terrorism of the late 1970s as an after-effect of this cycle. However, there was a second cycle of contention between 1972 and 1979, incorporating the left-wing ‘armed struggle’ milieu alongside a group of related mass movements (notably the ‘area of Autonomia’, the ‘movement of 1977’ and the ‘proletarian youth move…

The limitations of targeting to address inequalities in health
So-called ‘Third Way’ responses to inequalities in health have encouraged the ‘targeting’ of evidence-based interventions at those communities at high risk in order to improve health outcomes. In the UK, one area of persisting inequalities in mortality and morbidity risk is from injury, and there have been recent national and local incentives for relevant agencies to ‘address deprivation’ in delivering reductions in injury through ‘targeting’ par…
Methods to increase response to postal and electronic questionnaires
BACKGROUND: Postal and electronic questionnaires are widely used for data collection in epidemiological studies but non-response reduces the effective sample size and can introduce bias. Finding ways to increase response to postal and electronic questionnaires would improve the quality of health research. OBJECTIVES: To identify effective strategies to increase response to postal and electronic questionnaires. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched 14 elec…

More Work! Less Pay
In the mid-1970s, a wave of contentious radicalism swept through Italy. Groups and movements such as ‘Proletarian youth’, ‘metropolitan Indians’ and ‘the area of Autonomy’ practised new forms of activism, which were confrontational and often violent. Creative and brutal, intransigent and playful, the movements flourished briefly before being suppressed through heavy policing and political exclusion. This is a full-length study of these movements.…

The Energy Glut
World-wide, over a billion adults are overweight and 300 million are officially obese. The Energy Glut expertly tells the story of energy in society, and places ‘fatness’ next to climate change, as manifestations of the same fundamental planetary malaise. This exciting new book argues that the pulse of fossil fuel energy released from the ground after the discovery of oil not only started the process of catastrophic climate change, but also prope…

OP35 The Health Impacts of Free Bus Travel for Young People in London
Background Interventions in transport systems have potentially far-reaching impacts on public health, but can be challenging to evaluate. In 2005, young people in London gained access to free bus travel; an intervention that has a number of potential risks and benefits to health. As transport access is linked to well-being, we might expect the policy to benefit the health of young people by reducing transport exclusion. However, health effects mi…
