Her results indicate that youth homicides involved increases in lethal gang altercations, particularly among Latinos, and an increased use of automatic weapons. Young females had very little impact on homicide rates in Chicago. The findings point to several measures of social disorganization that could aid in the prediction of youth homicides, albeit varying across groups. Overall, the results support social d

Sommario/riassunto

The focus of Handbook for Cleaning/Decontamination of Surfaces lies on cleaning and decontamination of surfaces and solid matter, hard as well as soft. Bringing together in a 2-volume reference source:  - current knowledge of the physico-chemical fundamentals underlying the cleaning process;  - the different needs for cleaning and how these needs are met by various types of cleaning processes and cleaning agents, including novel approaches;  - how to test that cleaning has taken place and to what extent;  - the effects of cleaning on the environment;  - future trends
