“…It follows the tradition of educational intervention research (cf. Hunt and Hunt, 2004; Mansoori-Rostam and Tate, 2017; Shiina et al, 2017; Turetsky and Sanderson, 2017). One focus of the study is on the coverage and analysis of the participants’ complex ICT biography (family/school) in connection to gender stereotypes and the participants’ interest in ICT professions.…”

Although many jobs in today's information science allow favorable work-life-schedules for women, they still hesitate to enter this territory. In a study based on individual interviews with N = 134 students aged 14-18 years, who visited the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany, we collected data on the students' socialization in information and communication technology (ICT), on their self-rated ICT competence, their working knowledge of ICT professions, and their reaction to sexist statements. To analyze more in depth, we provided the participants with two alternative forms of vocational counseling interventions designed to modify their ICT-related attitudes (information vs. robotics condition). Analyses of variance and multiple linear regressions were administered to the data. Results: The girls in this study were socialized more than one year after the boys in using computers. While the boys received their ICT training mostly through their fathers and peers, the girls frequently had to rely on their teachers for ICT instruction. The girls rate their ICT competence lower than the boys; nevertheless, both genders share a relatively high interest in ICT professions. What's more, the girls are less convinced that men have a natural talent for computer science. Openness toward taking up jobs in the ICT industry in the case of the boys is less determined by their self-rated computer competence and the perceived ICT talent assessment by their parents. In both intervention conditions, they eagerly received and processed the new information provided. The girls' interest in an ICT career largely depends on preconditions, namely on their self-rated ICT competence, on a longstanding enthusiasm for computers, and on what they perceive their parents think about their ICT talents. Unlike the more pragmatic approach of the boys, their self-doubts, especially among the academic high school girls brings about that they are still in danger

“…Therefore, it is essential to treat people with mental disorders at risk of violence properly. Further, patients who committed a crime in an abnormal state due to mental illnesses should be allowed to receive medical treatment before being punished as a criminal [7]. From a practical perspective, the risk of reoffending can be reduced effectively after proper treatment in psychiatric hospitals than imprisonment.…”

BackgroundsThe treatment of mentally disordered offenders is an issue in forensic mental health. In most countries, police officers working in the community are the first to deal with patients at risk of harming themselves or others. However, their perceptions and opinions regarding forensic mental health have not been adequately investigated in Japan.MethodsWe conducted a national survey to gather police officers' views regarding legislation on mentally disordered people and inter-organizational collaboration.ResultsA total of 241 police officers participated in this study. Many participants were aware of the mental health care scheme in their daily work. Contrastingly, many participants complained about the public health center and psychiatrists. They seem to have emerged partially from the differences in each organization's structure, lack of resources, and communication gaps. Many participants felt a lack of opportunity to learn about psychiatry.ConclusionBetter collaborative care for mentally disordered people requires mutual relationships among the police, public health centers, and psychiatrists with a deeper understanding of community mental health.
