Errors can be positive or negative.
To prevent them from canceling out, we square them.

This turns “being wrong” into a measurable penalty.

Here in the US, today marks the beginning of Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month (#TDVAM).

I want to highlight this, partly because it's an important issue which receives too little attention, but also because it's really difficult to be heard amongst the ongoing chaos and the necessary focus here on that chaos.

TDVAM began as an awareness week in 2006. It became an awareness month in 2010. The White House released an official proclamation every February -- except when Trump is in office. Trump refuses to acknowledge the month.

Although nearly half of all students are in an abusive relationship by the time they graduate from University, over 80% of parents do not know TDV is a problem.

And although students in abusive relationships are more likely to leave school, to abuse drugs or alcohol, and to consider self-harm few schools address the issue.

The awareness month is the time of year when mainstream media is likely to report about TDV and its dangers. This media coverage increases awareness among parents and encourages schools to act.

When Trump refuses to acknowledge TDVAM, the media coverage disappears and then parents are less aware and schools don't participate. The consequence is that more teens are harmed; more are likely to experience abuse as adults.

And some teens do not make it to adulthood.

Sharing this information here is an opportunity to change this, to #prevent #violence now and in the future.

#prevent : hence, to go before as a guide

Do you remember that time when the U.K. Government’s prevent programs attempt at propaganda was so bad it accidentally spawned a right wing meme about a hot goth girl. They had one job which was to show a load of middle aged gammons with missing teeth but nope they picked a goth girl… #Ameila #Prevent

To fix problems, they need to be identified but also corrected in order. Jumping into prevention before correction will cause issues down the line. The Correction Action Plan needs to be used as a tool of steps to take proper action. #capa #correction #problems #prevent #corrective

ORG spoke out against criminalising free expression under the UK Prevent Duty.

An expanding definition of terrorism threatens racialised communities who are disproportionately targeted by a programme that hides surveillance behind safeguarding.

Prevent ≠ safeguarding. It's about surveillance.

The UK ban on Palestine Action and a vague interpretation of 'extremism' has meant that people engaging in the Palestinian solidarity movement have been swept up into the Prevent Duty.

We must not criminalise dissent!

Can a toddler be a terrorist?

A shocking new report has found that babies and toddlers have been referred to the UK's controversial counter-terrorism scheme Prevent hundreds of times since 2016.

ORG has shown that data collected under the Prevent programme is widely shared and retained for years even when referrals are marked ‘no further action’. Lives are being impacted from an absurdly young age.
