Quels sont les outils à déployer pour améliorer la détection et la prise en charge des victimes dans les établissements ?

"En principe, les décisions rendues contre un mineur âgé de 13 à 18 ans ne sont pas inscrites au Fijais (fichier judiciaire automatisé des auteurs d'infractions sexuelles ou violentes), s'il a commis un délit (acte interdit par la loi et puni d'une amende et/ou d'une peine d'emprisonnement inférieure à 10 ans).
"Par exception, une inscription peut être ordonnée par la juridiction qui a prononcé la décision ou par le procureur de la République."

"La richesse des débats et la diversité des expériences des trois champs concernés par ces travaux (associations d’aide aux victimes, usagers, institutions centrales et territoriales, professionnels de terrain) ont permis de produire un vocabulaire unique et transversal."

Violences sur les enfants : comment organiser le contrôle des établissements ?
France Culture · Violences sur les enfants : comment organiser le contrôle des établissements ?Alors que le collège-lycée de Notre-Dame Bétharram est au cœur d'une vaste enquête sur des violences, agressions sexuelles et viols dénoncés par plus d'une centaine de plaignants, comment pouvons-nous améliorer le contrôle des établissements recevant des enfants ?

New paper out.

What happens when you make a model that includes realistic details about how people discuss ideas and decide how to act upon them? The answer is that with just 3 such elements of realism, one can mathematically explain the emergence of commonly observed situations, such as reaching a consensus and exchanging opinions, but also the separation of ideologies and the appearance of stable polarization. Not only this, but one can also account for phenomena such as peer pressure, cognitive dissonance, tactical voting and toxic idealism ( @benroyce I told you I was going to do it 😀 ) and prove how they affect the final state of the system.

- it seems to me that some "authorities" (re-)define the term "consensus" or "consensual" as if it no longer describes "a state of general agreement among all parties involved".
- but then, using this logic of theirs, it would also be "consensual" if, in a mass sex between 100 people, 5 of them disagreed with that sex (and felt raped by the majority of those 95 people). After all: those 5 people out of 100 are an "insignificant minority" that won't make much difference to the consensus of the majority... :-D
- this new vague use of the term "consensus" therefore leads to a degradation of the term, and presumably its original meaning, from the general consent of all to a mere "majority democracy" where the majority simply outvotes the minority and enforces its will even in the case of the minority's dissent.
- in my opinion, the original meaning of consensus is well described here (etymology of "concensus") :
"A general accord or agreement of different parts in effecting a given purpose," originally a term in physiology; 1861, of persons "a general agreement in opinion;" from Latin consensus "agreement, accord," past participle of consentire "feel together," from assimilated form of com "with, together" (see con-) + sentire "to feel" (see sense (n.)). There is an isolated instance of the word from 1633."

@lindividue Merci beaucoup pour tous ces éléments !

J'utilise souvent cnrtl.fr et aussi le dico des synonymes crisco4.unicaen.fr/des

J'avais pourtant lu (et imprimé) l'article wikipedia, et j'avais oublié déjà la réf à GEN- (au moins aussi pertinente et sans doute plus sûre - même si de façon + GÉNérale, wikipedia n'est pas à 100% fiable, surtout sur des sujets délicats et antiques ^^)

Je mélange pas le grec et le latin : perso ne connais que peu l'un ni l'autre mais c'est Jacqueline Picoche (citée dans le premier post) qui remonte aux racines communes des deux. Une étymologiste reconnue (peut-être controversée mais qui ne l'est pas ? #consensus ) ...

I am sort of forcing myself on org to do a IT upgrade and overhaul plus training and enlightenment - they never really asked for it but in this day and age almost every smb/non profit/org needs to look at their business processes and take advantage since there is so much value there and room for improvements and upgrades - it is not show and dance and smoke and mirrors but real tangible and finally affordable so why not - it was worth proposing some changes to them and see if they will buy in at all and offer up some of their own ideas - maybe they can get fiber? that could be near top of the list - improved connectivity #consensus builder

"In a #consensus decision-making process, the decision and the buy-in land at the same time. Rather than making a decision and then getting everyone on board, you get everyone on board, at which point the decision is clear."

Looking forward to #Datenspuren24 !

I'll be giving a talk about #names . One aspect I want to mention is #consensus in naming people. Is your name consensual?

Think of the name you use the most. Did you agree to have it or do you just kind of put up with it?

Good look at a bad problem. The author is a friend from grad schol at the #University of #Colorado, where she was a faculty member when I was a grad student. She’s since gone on to bigger and better things, and I’ve gone on to … well, things.

Anyway. I’ve never been particularly worried about #Cylons, #Skynet, etc. Humans doing stupid human tricks, and using #AI to do them much faster, OTOH, yeah.

The internet community of anti-science #cranks is an example of #model #collapse happening at human speed. #Antivaxers, #creationists, #climate change #deniers et al. prey on people with legitimate questions about some particular aspect of the broad #consensus. Those people often go down an increasingly loony rabbit hole, and end up propagating the absurdity, sometimes adding their own bizarre spin which their new-found colleagues happily add to the ideology.

If this becomes part of the #academic ecosystem, with AI reviewers approving AI-generated #papers and no human checks on the process, the scholarly corpus will become hopelessly contaminated. I have no idea what to do about that.
