Study looks at new approaches in handling juvenile delinquents -- The juvenile justice system's traditional method of dealing with juvenile delinquents is beginning to undergo a transformation, a study by Indiana University School of Social Work Professor Bill Barton has found. Barton's discoveries will be published by Chapin Hall Center for Children at the University of Chicago. The changes in the juvenile justice system come as many practitioners in child- and adolescent related-services have switched to methods that look for ways to build on an individual's strengths, Barton explained.

IU in the news

Salty Snacks Mean More Sodas for Kids
Washington Post, Feb. 20 -- Kids who load up on salty meals and snacks get thirsty, and too often they turn to calorie-filled sodas. So maybe cutting back on the salt is a good way to cut the calories. That's the idea coming from a British study published Wednesday in an American Heart Association journal. "Most people think that sodium comes from the salt shaker. The salt shaker contributes less than 10 to 15 percent," said Dr. Myron Weinberger, a professor of medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine. "Fast foods, for example, are just loaded with sodium. Processed foods are all very high in sodium," said Weinberger, who wrote an editorial related to the study published in the online journal Hypertension. Read the full story.

Rocky Mountain News, Feb. 21 -- Airline employees bore the brunt of the industry's cost-cutting efforts following the 2001 terrorist attacks, taking huge pay and benefit cuts that dampen morale to this day. But workers now wield significant influence, as airlines -- including United Airlines -- explore the possibility of merging, observers say. "Airlines can usually go ahead and force a merger whether unions like it or not" by structuring a deal that avoids violating contract agreements, said Clinton Oster, a professor at Indiana University who has studied airline economics since the 1970s. "But whether the merger is actually successful, that's a different thing. For that to happen you need the work force to acquiesce or even embrace it." Read the full story.
