Substantial policy, communication and operational gaps exist between mental health services the police for individuals with enduring needs.To map cost pathways through services, to model impact of implementing key policy recommendations.Within a case-linkage study, we estimated 1-year individual-level healthcare policing costs. Using decision modelling, then potential on costs three recommended service enhancements: street triage, Mental Health Act assessments all Section 136 detainees...
The current study evaluates the quality of 60 city parks in Northwest Florida, using Public Space Index developed by Vikas Mehta. This index combines following five dimensions public space: inclusiveness, safety, comfort, pleasurability and meaningful activities. It uses 40 variables to score spaces across these dimensions. analysis serves as a replication extension PSI mid-sized environment. findings attest utility this methodological tool for space urban environments, on larger scale,...
Aims and method: We evaluate the initial outcomes from Cornwall Criminal Justice Liaison Diversion Service (CJLDS) which includes a pilot Neighbourhood Outreach scheme to support police with vulnerable individuals suspected mental illness but not necessarily criminal involvement. Results: review first nine months' operational data, including six month follow-up of three assess impact intervention. The service identified large proportion new cases at an earlier stage. Intervention...
Trumbo’s (1981) ideas on bivariate choropleth design have been underexplored and underutilized. He noted that effective map (including color selection) is directly informed by the intended goal or use of (i.e., what questions might answer), he identified three common spatial relationships can be displayed a choropleth: inverse relationships, range one variable within another, direct relationships. Each best suited to answering different readers’ questions. Trumbo also suggested sample...
Abstract This article presents a case study of how user‐centered design (UCD) approach was utilized during the addition interactive masking capability to an existing web‐based geographic information system (Web GIS). By analyzing and discussing specific aspects user‐developer dialog within context Web GIS software development life cycle, this for similar systems. The results UCD methodology is discussion that shift from initial new that, based on user feedback, furthers utility usability GIS.
Introduction: Liaison and Diversion (L&D) currently serves 50% of the population England. L&D relies on modified working practices with key delivery partners, especially police. Service evaluation data is thus presented from both police health services. Method: A before after intervention review 3 months operational in Cornwall focusing health, criminal economic outcomes. Results: After individuals’ contact as either victim or perpetrator reduced significantly. Implications: Preliminary...
In the United States, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is national agency that conducts supports public health research practice. Among CDC’s many achievements development of a social vulnerability index (SVI) to aid planners emergency responders when identifying vulnerable segments population, especially during natural hazard events. The includes an overall ranking as well four individual themes: socioeconomic, household composition & disability, ethnicity language,...
Background Existing research identified substantial gaps between NHS mental health services and the criminal justice system for individuals with enduring moderate to severe needs (EMHN). A pilot study in Cornwall echoed these findings, identifying deficiencies provision at interface of police services. Aim To explore interagency management EMHN as they come into contact police. Design mixed-methods approach within a community psychology framework enhance implementation findings. Stage 1:...
Florida's automobile transportation corridors have fragmented the natural range of black bear, greatly impacting its movement. This fragmentation limits bear migration and genetic interchange prevents them from utilizing seasonally important nutrients. In extreme cases, highways lead to vehicle–bear collisions as animals attempt cross road. The Florida Fish Wildlife Commission (FWC) has attempted mitigate these negative factors with highway crossing structures. These structures are...
With the increasing availability of web mapping application programming interfaces, those tasked with job developing and designing web-based geographic information systems (Web GIS) are faced question how to (re)develop new existing capabilities. While Web GIS often reproduces features currently available within desktop GIS, usage requirements demand it be both easier use more specific in its purpose. As has become integrated evolving technologies, many semantic ways which functions depend...
This study considers the balance of amenities and coastal hazards on housing prices between 2000 2015. We test whether risk communication via hurricane evacuation zone (a proxy for storm-surge flooding) affects sales price while controlling relevant property characteristics, beach frontage, flood zones, proximity to coast. Additionally, we employ a difference-in-difference technique two highly publicized updates maps, which changed status many homes in county, led penalties homes. focus our...
Historically, dense vegetation cover near buildings has caused power disruptions during weather phenomena. These types of severe storms impact the coast Florida each year. However, challenges exist for obtaining both outage data and calculating tree cover. NASA's Nighttime Lights, Black Marble, VNP46 product is utilized to analyze natural built environments. One aspect environment that can be mapped with Marble megawatts electricity used by electrical grid based on magnitude emitted...
In recent years, leveraging satellite imagery with deep learning ( DL ) architectures has become an effective approach for environmental monitoring tasks, including forest wildfire detection. Nevertheless, this integration requires substantial high-quality labeled data to train the models accurately. Leveraging capabilities of multiple Python libraries, such as rasterio and GeoPandas, Google Earth Engine’s API , study introduces a streamlined methodology efficiently gather, label, augment,...
Forest loss due to natural events, such as wildfires, represents an increasing global challenge that demands advanced analytical methods for effective detection and mitigation. To this end, the integration of satellite imagery with deep learning (DL) has become essential. Nevertheless, approach requires substantial amounts labeled data produce accurate results. In study, we use bi-temporal Sentinel-2 sourced from Google Earth Engine (GEE) build California Wildfire GeoImaging Dataset (CWGID),...
