Super Student

Buku ini membincangkan semua perkara yang menyumbang kepada peningkatan pembelajaran dan gred yang baik. Ketiga-tiga prinsip asas yang menyokong tujuan ini adalah belajar secara efektif, menunjukkan prestasi secara optimum, dan berfikir secara betul. Pengalaman saya yang lalu menunjukkan subjek yang berbeza memerlukan sudut serangan dan teknik yang berbeza. Ramai yang mendakwa teknik seperti kaedah loci dan peta minda sentiasa memberikan kejayaan. Manakala, matlamat saya adalah bagi memberikan senarai teknik berguna dan berkongsi kekuatan dan kelemahan teknik itu. Terpulang kepada pembaca bagi membuat keputusan teknik mana dan pada masa bila mereka hendak gunakan. Beberapa teknik, seperti teknik nota ataupun penetapan matlamat, boleh digunakan serta-merta tanpa sebarang usaha tertentu. Teknik lain, seperti membaca laju, boleh mengambil masa hingga sebulan untuk dipelajari. Kita perlu mencari keseimbangan tentang berapa banyak masa yang kita dapat laburkan.

Our Prisoners

This publication, a collaboration between the Inter-American Development Bank and the University of The Bahamas, presents the findings of a study of sentenced inmates at the prison in The Bahamas known at the Department of Correctional Services Facility, Fox Hill. The materials provide invaluable insight into public policy to further support the transformation of citizen security in The Bahamas. Robust and reliable information is needed to effectively diagnose, plan, carry out, and monitor correctional policies. The data generated by this publication and its underlying research are key inputs for the IDB’s Citizen Security and Justice Knowledge Strategy, which aims to better inform the public debate and decision makers about institutional performance of the criminal justice sectors in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Literacy Experiences of Formerly Incarcerated Women

In Literacy Experiences of Formerly Incarcerated Women: Sentences and Sponsors, Melanie N. Burdick uses narrative research to elucidate the literacy experiences of formerly incarcerated women and how literacy has affected their lives, both while incarcerated and while transitioning back into society. Using Deborah Brandt’s theory of literacy sponsorship (1998), Burdick explores both the mass incarceration of women and their access to literacy as feminist and social justice issues. While reading and writing in prison is often romanticized through caricatures of incarcerated people who become enlightened and reformed, Burdick targets these romanticized views and criticizes their controlling and harmful effects. This book shines a light on the personal and political ramifications of literacy experiences in women’s lives as they grow up in families and schools, move through the prison system, and transition back into society and higher education, arguing that literacy is politically situated and that transitioning out of prison is a complex process marked by literate acts that are dependent upon constructive literacy sponsorship.

The Oxford Handbook of Evidence-Based Crime and Justice Policy

"An evidence-based approach to crime and justice policy can go a long way toward ensuring that the best available research is considered in decisions that bear on the public good. However, the term "evidence-based" is characterized by a great deal of rhetoric. Indeed, there remains a marked disjuncture between calls for "evidence-based" policy and an understanding of what it means for policy to be "evidence-based." The calls for evidence-based policy nonetheless provide a powerful foundation for propelling a movement toward bringing about rational, cost-effective, and humane policies for the betterment of society. This handbook showcases the state of research on evidence-based crime and just...
