Designing and Implementing Delay Reduction Projects in Courts

Delay Reduction Efforts in Three Juvenile Courts

To provide better customer service, NCJRS has made this Federally-funded grant final report available electronically in addition to traditional paper copies. Opinions or points of view expressed are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official position or policies of the U.S. The causes of delay in the youth justice system are complex. No single approach is likely to be ef...

Why Do Courts Delay?

Answering one question often begets another. We present a decision-theoretic model that describes how this dynamic sequences decisions over time. Because answering an easy question may raise a more difficult one, a rational decision-maker may delay resolution even if he has perfect information about the correct decision. Furthermore, because otherwise unrelated questions may raise similar follo...

Designing and Implementing OLAP Systems

There has been a lot of research on OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing) systems during the past decade. These systems allow decision makers to improve their decisions. Despite numerous multidimensional conceptual models, none tackle the problem of analysing data extracted from text-rich XML documents. These documents represent a lot of unavailable information for actual OLAP systems. Moreover,...

Designing and Implementing Malicious Hardware

Hidden malicious circuits provide an attacker with a stealthy attack vector. As they occupy a layer below the entire software stack, malicious circuits can bypass traditional defensive techniques. Yet current work on trojan circuits considers only simple attacks against the hardware itself, and straightforward defenses. More complex designs that attack the software are unexplored, as are the co...
