Economic Damage Due to Crime in Israel, 2008
|
Division of Planning Budget & Monitoring The assessment of the economic damage due to crime is the foundation of the ability of policy makers to make decisions based on cost/benefit analysis. The recognition of the need to assess the economic damages is evolving in the western world, in order to enable examination of the allocation of resources by measurements of cost against benefit among other things.
The purpose of this document is to assess the economic
damage due to crime in the State of Israel, due to the tendency of strengthening the public security component in the national strength equation and the continuing decline of personal security of the citizens of Israel, tendencies which intensify the need to place the field of public security in the center of the national prioritization. | |

Social Violence in Israel A Research and Development Work Plan
|
Barak, Israel Background
In recent years Israeli society has become increasingly violent. Citizens are frequently exposed to incidents of violence, which seem to have become a norm, as is evident if we look at the category of serious assault, which includes such offenses as homicide, attempted homicide, manslaughter, and serious injury. According to statistics issued by the Israel Police, there has been
a steady increase over the past decade in this category of offense, despite the overall improvement in reported crime, as indicated by the statistics on reported crime between 2005 and 2007.
The goal
The goal of this document is to summarize and present information regarding violence in Israeli society, as well as to propose some principal modes of operation aimed at encouraging the trend toward decrease in violence and crime, as indicated by figures issued by the Israel Police since 2005. In this document, the
Bureau of the Chief Scientist in the Ministry of Public Security presents its work plan for 2009, which focuses on attempts to seek solutions to the phenomenon of violence through in-depth scientific research.

The Treatment of Juvenile Offenders in the Israeli Prison System : An Evaluation Study
|
Israel Katz, Shani Kuna, Yaara Leitner,Amit Arpali, Peleg Dor-Haim This report summarizes the findings and conclusions from a three year evaluation study about the treatment of juveniles in the Israeli Prison Service. The study was commissioned by the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Public Security in cooperation with the Israeli Prison Service. The study was conducted at the “Ofek” Prison by a team of researchers from the “Zofnat” Institute for Research and Organizational Consulting. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the principal approaches the treatment programs are based on and how they are being implemented and their implementation.
The study shed some light on the question whether there is justification for a separate prison for juveniles, and if so, what practices are entailed in the most efficient operation of such a facility.
The study began in January 2004, and ended in the final months of 2006, and made use of a variety of data gathering methods (in-depth interviews, questionnaire analysis, case studies etc).
Based on the findings of the study a series of recommendations and instruments for ongoing self evaluation of the prison's function, were set forth.

Detection of Explosive Materials by Rats : A Feasibility Study
|
Joseph Terkel The sense of smell plays a highly significant role in the life of rat. Recently rats have been trained to detect mines. Although rats do not work well in open spaces, they could be used in confined spaces. In addition, rats are small and easily moved from place to place, as needed. If it is really possible to train rats to detect explosives, they may fill a current need in specific sites where there is a danger of introduction of explosives
