Description : The mass entrepreneurship policy has introduced a new era of sustainable development in China. Yet, the policy alone does not describe how individuals and organizations might pursue this new approach to economic expansion. In this paper, Xiaoming Yang and his co-author suggest that under this new policy, partnerships between social ventures and donors, beneficiaries, and government agencies serve as a vehicle to co-create value for sustainable development.

Description : Counterproductive work behavior (CWB), also called workplace deviance, has recently received significant attention in the organizational behavior literature. CWB includes actions such as theft, fraud, non-compliant purchasing, intentionally working at a slower place, intentional deception by employees in order to gain resources, and similar problems of concern to the profession (Karjalainen, Kemppainen, and Raaij 2009). In this research, Roopa Venkatesh and others proposed a study directed at understanding the individual-level characteristics that contribute to CWB in managerial accountants, specifically, the creation of budgetary slack.

Description : Family Support Programs are community-based services that help to promote the well-being of children and families as well as increase the strength and stability of families. The services can be for youth and/or parents, and can occur within the home or at community locations. There are 4 sub-types of family support programs: Parenting Class, Advocacy, Social Workers, and Family Support.

Description : Alternatives to Detention (ATDs) are programs that increase supervision on a youth rather than placing the youth in a secure facility while awaiting their court hearings (prejudicated youth). Youth in these programs are allowed to remain in the community with the ATD intervention to help prevent them from committing new law violations and make sure that the youth appear in court. ATDs include electronic monitor, tracking services, day and evening reporting centers and shelter care. Electronic monitor (EM) programs use electronic devices, usually worn on the youth’s ankle, that monitors their location and movement centered around their home, allowing them to go to school, jobs, activities, etc. as approved by the personal monitoring their movement.

Description : School-based programs help provide educational support, training and/or supervision for youth where academic and/or behavioral problems originated in the school setting. There are four types of school-based programs: After School, Alternative School, School Interventionist, and School Resource Officers. School Interventionists identify and coordinate behavioral or academic intervention for a student. Youth can be referred to the school interventionist for attendance issues, poor grades, lack of engagement, behavior issues, etc. The intervention process includes clearly identifying the problem, selecting a strategy to address the problem, and measuring the effectiveness of the strategy. The intervention can include other supports for the youth within the school or community.
