Re: [Ag Meinungsfindungstool] Tailored Intervention in case of Violation of Human Dignity and Human Rights

Hello Scott,

i think you misunderstood the method.

You wrote: "But what this *looks* like to me is a system by which a small 
number
of individuals (the "jury") can sanction or possibly even silence an
individual that is being disruptive."

Perhaps, you have a little insight into measurement techniques or 
psychometric properties of questionaires, assessment batteries or 
processes of judgement?

This process is not about a jury sentencing a person with a verdict. The 
jury or a couple of independent raters are necessary to make sure that 
there is a consens about a certain extent of antidemocratic or inhuman 
behavior, before anybody is accused by anything.

The specific interventions that are recommended in case of a certain 
extent of antidemocratic and inhuman behavior is planed to be developed 
and scheduled independently of the process of social judgement, wheather 
and how severe there is a violation of democratic norms. The process of 
indendent raters or a jury just makes sure, that the perception of bad 
behavior is an intersubjective and not only the subjective opinion of an 
(authoritarian) person.

So, your statement is a complete misunderstanding. The true intention is 
the opposite of your perception.

Please have a little patience till the paper is translated into English.

Thx
J.
