Summary: There is a lack of research on the experiences of early life trauma and trauma symptomology among youth of color involved in the juvenile justice system. Conventional trauma instruments used in this system may not be culturally relevant for racially minoritized youth and fail to capture race-based trauma. The study found significant differences in early life trauma experiences between racial groups, with white youth reporting higher rates of trauma events compared to black and Hispanic youth. Additionally, white youth had several trauma indicators associated with delinquency, while black and Hispanic youth had no associations.

Summary: This paper examines the relationship between the Sami Parliament in Norway and the Sami civil society, finding that Sami interest and participation in civil society are similar to that of the general population. However, the level of contact between political parties in the Sami Parliament and Sami civil society organizations is limited, and these organizations have a weak control and opposition role. The emergence of the Nordkalottfolket party does not appear to have changed this relationship.

Summary: The Spanish government aims to establish a new form of power through policies such as 'Digital Spain 2025' and 'National Artificial Intelligence Strategy.' However, this process has transformed the country into a digital colony, where legal, social, financial, and economic powers are handed over to private corporations, leading to discrimination against minority nations and oppressive law enforcement policies.
