Sexual Predators

Sexual Predators

Robert A. Prentky; Howard E. Barbaree; Eric S. Janus

Routledge

Convicted sex offenders released from custody at the end of their criminal sentences pose a risk for re-offense. In many US states, Sexually Violent Predator (SVP) laws have been enacted that allow for the post-prison preventive detention of high risk sex offenders. SVP laws require the courts to make dispositions that protect the public from harm while at the same time respecting the civil rights of the offender. This book describes these SVP laws, their constitutionality, and aspects of their operation. Courts hear expert risk testimony based heavily on the results of actuarial risk assessment. Problems associated with this testimony include the lack of a theory of recidivism risk, bias due to human decision-making, and the insularity of scholarship and practice along developmental lines. The authors propose changes in legal standards, as well as a unified developmental model that treats sexual violence as an "evolving" condition, with roots traceable to childhood and paths that extend into adolescence and adulthood.

Handbook of Refugee Experience: Trauma, Resilience, and Recovery is a comprehensive resource for students, scholars, and practitioners who work with refugee populations. This collection explores contemporary issues including migration, war, oppression, genocide, health crises, and racial and cultural identities to shed light on the refugee experience. The text offers a balance of theory, research, case studies, narratives, and clinical application, while emphasizing the concepts of resilience, recovery, and successful adaptation. The first section of the handbook examines the social, cultural, and political contexts in which refugees experience their lives. The second section features powerful narratives from refugees that illuminate what it feels like to survive, recover, and flourish after exile. In the third section, readers hear from helping professionals about their struggles, challenges, frustrations, and triumphs while serving refugee populations. The fourth section focuses on clinical considerations, discussing common assessment and treatment issues, as well as practical techniques, interventions, and community-based strategies that have proven successful. The final section focuses on resilience and courage, exploring the gifts refugees, and their helpers, have received after surviving difficult life circumstances. Handbook of Refugee Experience is an ideal resource for counseling, health care, and social work courses, or any other course that prepares future practitioners to assist refugee populations.
Seneca Falls

Seneca Falls

A village located along the Seneca River, Seneca Falls was incorporated in 1831 and was soon linked to the Erie Canal by the Cayuga Seneca Canal. The women's suffrage movement was born in Seneca Falls when the first Women's Rights Convention, led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, was held on July 19 and 20, 1848. Seneca County and Seneca Falls were also part of the Underground Railroad, and prominent citizens such as Ansel Bascom and Henry Seymour worked with freedom seekers in the decades before the Civil War. The town's knitting mills produced socks for the army during the war, second only to New York City in production. Many famous people also came to Seneca Falls to rally around the town's causes, among them are Lucretia Mott, Frederick Douglass, Garrett Smith, and Susan B. Anthony.
New Developments in Array Technology and Applications

New Developments in Array Technology and Applications

This IAU Symposium brought together researchers who use CCDs and arrays, designers and manufacturers of CCDs and array mosaics, and those who write the software to control these devices and to reduce the large amounts of data contained in each frame. At the meeting such topics as plans for applying the new technology to the new large telescopes that have been built recently and those planned in the near future, new developments in infra-red arrays, advances and concerns with the use of CCDs in photometry and spectroscopy and the creation of large mosaics in photometry and spectroscopy, and the creation of large mosaics of chips which allow larger areas of the sky to be covered in a single frame were discussed. There were sessions devoted to the following topics: new developments in CCD technology; new developments in IR detector arrays; direct imaging with CCDs and other arrays; spectroscopy with CCDs and other arrays; and large field imaging with array mosaics. Scientific results of studies made with this technology were covered in the poster sessions. CCD and array detectors have become the detectors of choice at all the world's optical observatories. Such instruments on small university and college telescopes have turned these telescopes into instruments that can now do observations which in the past were done only on the largest telescopes. CCDs and arrays are known as "the people's detector" because of their ability to turn small telescopes into true research instruments. On large telescopes observations can be made of extremely faint and crowded objects that were impossible to observe before the advent of CCD and Array technology. The proceedings of this meeting should be useful to all those who are interested in the design, manufacture and use of CCDs and arrays for astronomical observations.

Conservative Philanthropies and Organizations Shaping U.S. Educational Policy and Practice

Conservative Philanthropies and Organizations Shaping U.S. Educational Policy and Practice

This book is about conservative philanthropies, the organizations and individuals within their networks, and the strategies they use to shape educational policy and practice in K-12 and higher education. Each chapter examines a philanthropy, philanthropic network, or corporation focused on pushing an agenda of individualism, privatization, and conservative ideologies. Based in extensive research, including the tax filings of specific philanthropic foundations, the authors demonstrate how the philanthropic elite work within federal, state, and local governmental contexts to influence policy and practice. Within a global context of increasing wealth inequality, the authors question the motivations of these privileged few to withhold tax dollars from the US treasury where duly elected representatives can determine how tax dollars are used to benefit society. By allowing these philanthropic organizations tax exemptions under the guise of assumed benevolence, are citizens giving up their ability to hold these organizations accountable for how the money is spent? This book, aimed at a general audience of educators, provides the in-depth knowledge necessary to understand and resist private control of public policies and institutions.

Kehokauhu, body horror, on kauhun alagenreistä groteskeimpia. Se perustuu mielikuvalle, että oma tuttu ruumis ei olisikaan enää oma tai tuttu; että se muuttuisi vieraaksi, vastenmieliseksi, joksikin mitä ei enää itse hallitse. Kehokauhutarinat ovat tarinoita muodonmuutoksista, mutaatioista, oudoista loisista tai taudeista, silpomisesta ja hajoamisesta.Nyt H. P. Lovecraftin, Clive Barkerin, David Cronenbergin ja muiden kehokauhun legendojen jalanjäljissä on lähtenyt tarpomaan joukko suomalaisia spekulatiivisen fiktion mestareita ja nousevia kykyjä. Kolmetoista novellia tarjoavat kattavan valikoiman iholle ja sen alle tunkevia, ihastuksensekaisia inhonväristyksiä.

”Jos maailma on olemassa vielä tuhannen vuoden päästä kaikesta tästä mitä nyt tapahtuu on voinut tulla satu. Sit lapsille kerrotaan satuja oudoista ihmisistä jotka joskus eli ja kuoli pienten rahasummien perässä ja lapset kuuntelee suu auki ja kaikki se kuulostaa ihan taianomaiselta niiden mielestä ja ihmeelliseltä. Tuhannen vuoden päästä. Kuka tietää. Nykypäivän työläiset ja köyhät voi olla seuraavan vuosituhannen tinasotilaita. Tai sit ne voi olla seuraavan vuosituhannen lohikäärmeitä ja noitia. Jos maailma on silloin vielä olemassa. Ja jos silloin vielä kerrotaan satuja. Kuka tietää.”Kasvotusten - nykykreikkalaisia novelleja esittelee Suomessa melko huonosti tunnettua kreikkalaista nykykirjallisuutta. Antologiaan on koottu novelleja kahdeksaltatoista Kreikan eturivin kirjailijalta. Teos asettaa lukijan kasvotusten kreikkalaisen yhteiskunnan ja siitä kantautuvien kokemusten ja tottumusten, tavallisten inhimillisten ihmisten kanssa, kun erilaiset ja eri lähtökohdista olevat kirjoittajat kuvaavat ihmisen suhdetta itseensä ja ympäristöönsä. Teoksen on toimittanut ja kääntänyt Ateenassa nykyään asuva Riikka P. Pulkkinen.

Janis Joplin includes more than sixty photographs, and an assortment of anecdotes from Janis’s friends and band mates. This thoroughly researched and well-illustrated biography is a must-have for all young artists, music lovers, and pop-culture enthusiasts.
