Personality and job performance: the importance of narrow straits

Article Abstract:

New findings contradict the conclusion of Ones and Viswesvaran that broader and richer personality traits will have higher predictive validity than narrower traits. Results reveal that there is no integrity-related general factor of personality and that broad personality measures are slightly less correlated with workplace delinquency than are narrow measures. Narrow traits appear to be better predictors of job performance.

Listen to the children: the decision to transfer juveniles to adult court

Article Abstract:

Judicial review should be the only way in which the decision to try a juvenile as an adult can be made, as it is in keeping with juvenile justices basic tenet, seeing the person as an individual. Neither prosecutorial discretion or statutory exclusion are true to this tenet. Many juveniles can be rehabilitate, and only if treated as individuals will the ones who can be saved get the chance.
