Suggested Reading Materials
from European Journal of Criminology, Reassessing the Fear of Crime by Emily Gray,Keele University, UK, E.Gray@keele.ac.uk, Jonathan Jackson, London School of Economics, UK, J.P.Jackson@lse.ac.uk and Stephen Farrall, Sheffield University, UK, S.Farrall@sheffield.ac.uk
A large body of empirical research exploring emotional responses to crime in Europe, North America and elsewhere suggests that substantial proportions of the public worry about victimization. The British Crime Survey (BCS) has asked questions exploring English and Welsh respondents' worry about crime since 1982, and in the 20034 sweep of the BCS new questions were inserted into a subsection to explore the frequency and intensity of such fearful events. As well as illustrating the rationale of the new measurement strategy, this research note reports the results of the new questions in direct relation to the `old' methods. The findings show that few people experience specific events of worry on a frequent basis and that `old'-style questions magnify the everyday experience of fear. We propose that `worry about crime' is often best seen as a diffuse anxiety about risk rather than any pattern of everyday concerns over personal safety.
Welcome to the ICA Certification Section
The ICA Certification Program, the first Internationally developed and recognized practitioner certification program in the world was developed by an internatonal committee of professionals and academics over a span of more than 4 years. Advanced and Practitioner level certification was introduced in 2004 at the ICA International Conference in Calgary and applicants have been recognizing the value of arreditation ever since.
Recertification
Those receiving certification as ICBCP or ICACP must recertify every three years. To do so they must also be members in good standing at the time of application. To recertify the applicant must submit an updated log book to the Certification Committee. The log book must clearly indicate three new proofs of continued competency and evidence of those three accomplishments must also be provided. A Competency Recertification Application must also be submitted.
The three proofs can take many forms. Articles written, presentations/classes given, surveys or assessments conducted, committees participated in, plans reviewed or degrees or certifications attained in related fields. These proofs, or accomplishments, must have all occurred during the current certification/recertification cycle. The date of required recertification is December 31st of the third year AFTER the year of original certification or recertification. If you were certified in 2001 then the recertification would be due no later than December 31st of 2004. This way you get a full three years of certification beyond the year in which you were certified
Certification is open to members and costs $200 (US Funds). Upon succesfull completion of the requirements you will receive a wall plaque and certificate stating your level of certification.
Below you will find resources and information regarding the program as well as a list of successfull applicants. Certification is open to members and non-members. Application information is included in the links below.
