Disability and Child Sexual Abuse

Disability and Child Sexual Abuse

Martina Higgins; John Swain

Jessica Kingsley Publishers
2009
pokkari
Disability and Child Sexual Abuse examines the ways in which society marginalises, institutionalises and places disabled children in situations of unacceptable risk, and how - as evidenced in the survivors' narratives - patterns of service delivery can contribute to the problem. Based on the accounts of seven disabled individuals who were sexually abused in childhood, the book highlights a wide range of pertinent issues. Through case vignettes and empirical research, the authors ask practitioners to scrutinise their current professional practice, exploring participants' experiences of hospitalisation, education systems and local authorities. They consider the issue of who abuses and why, and highlight issues relating to the complexities involved in revisiting past experiences and confronting unwarranted and unwanted feelings of responsibility. The difficulty of recounting the abuse narrative is also examined within the research context.This book will be relevant for professionals and students in the social, health and education services, such as social workers, teachers and counsellors. It will also offer insights for those seeking a less disablist society, including disabled people themselves.

Legal Professional Privilege in the Common Law World

Legal Professional Privilege in the Common Law World

Andrew Higgins; Jocelyn R W Plant; John Yap

Oxford University Press
2026
sidottu
Legal professional privilege (LPP) is the protection given to confidential communications between lawyers and their clients in connection with legal advice or litigation and related preparatory materials. Legal Professional Privilege in the Common Law World provides a comprehensive account of LPP-also known as attorney client privilege-in six major common law jurisdictions: England, Australia, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the United States. Adopting an avowedly comparative approach, the book reflects both the universal importance given to LPP and the extensive challenges faced by common law jurisdictions in developing and applying a privilege that can, at times, be seen to impede effective law enforcement and the administration of justice. Authors Andrew Higgins, Jocelyn Plant, and John Yap aim to provide judges, practitioners, and academics alike with the key case law from each jurisdiction, as well as a practical set of principles to assist them to navigate the surprisingly large number of areas where the law of privilege remains uncertain. Given these grey areas, the book also illustrates how interjurisdictional dialogue features prominently in recent developments in LPP. Developing from the first edition, Legal Professional Privilege for Corporations, this volume maintains a strong focus on corporate privilege, reflecting the sheer number of disputes involving corporate clients and control over the corporation's privilege material. At the same time, it engages fully with the law as it applies to all clients. Topics given particular attention in this second edition include: shareholder access to the company's privileged material; the scope and operation of waiver; the status of privileged material that has escaped the client's control; choice of law issues in the law of privilege; and the crime-fraud or iniquity exception. The second edition has been updated to add Singapore and Hong Kong as common law jurisdictions under analysis.

The Educator

The Educator

John Lalor; John Abraham Heraud; Edward Higginson; J. Simpson; Sarah Porter

Cambridge University Press
2014
pokkari
This work on the theory of education was first published in 1839. The five writers had been chosen as the winners in a competition for an essay on the 'Expediency and Means of Elevating the Profession of the Educator in Society', organised by the Central Society of Education, founded in 1837 to promote state funding of education, at a time when the 'monitor' system, whereby older children taught younger ones, was seen as an effective (and money-saving) method. The journalist John Lalor (1814–56) won first prize with a wide-ranging consideration of all the aspects of education, comparing the status of teachers through history and across several countries, and championing their 'sacred mission'. The runners-up were the writer John A. Heraud, the Unitarian minister Edward Higginson, the lawyer and author James Simpson, and Mrs Sarah Porter, prolific writer on education and sister of the political economist David Ricardo.

Religion, Civil Society, and Peace in Northern Ireland

Religion, Civil Society, and Peace in Northern Ireland

John D. Brewer; Gareth I. Higgins; Francis Teeney

Oxford University Press
2013
nidottu
Religion was thought to be part of the problem in Ireland and incapable of turning itself into part of the solution. Many commentators deny the churches a role in Northern Ireland's peace process or belittle it, focusing on the few well-known events of church involvement and the small number of high profile religious peacebuilders. This new study seeks to correct various misapprehensions about the role of the churches by pointing to their major achievements in both the social and political dimensions of the peace process, by small-scale, lesser-known religious peacebuilders as well as major players. The churches are not treated lightly or sentimentally and major weaknesses in their contribution are highlighted. The study challenges the view that ecumenism was the main religious driver of the peace process, focusing instead on the role of evangelicals, it warns against romanticising civil society, pointing to its regressive aspects and counter-productive activities, and queries the relevance of the idea of 'spiritual capital' to understanding the role of the churches in post-conflict reconstruction, which the churches largely ignore. This book is written by three 'insiders' to church peacebuilding in Northern Ireland, who bring their insight and expertise as sociologists to bear in their analysis of four-years in-depth interviewing with a wide cross section of people involved in the peace process, including church leaders and rank-and-file, members of political parties, prime ministers, paramilitary organisations, community development and civil society groups, as well as government politicians and advisors. Many of these are speaking for the first time about the role of religious peacebuilding in Northern Ireland, and doing so with remarkable candour. The volume allows the Northern Irish case study to speak to other conflicts where religion is thought to be problematic by developing a conceptual framework to understand religious peacebuilding.

Biomembrane Protocols

John M. Graham; Joan A. Higgins

Humana Press Inc.
2013
nidottu
There have been many important advances in our understanding of biological membrane structure and function over the last decade. Much of this progress has been driven by the development of new techniques for studying membrane components and their interactions. Tradition­ ally, the investigation of membranes has largely occurred within the domains of biochemistry, physical chemistry, and cell biology; but many of the most significant advances have resulted from an expansion into other disciplines, such as molecular biology, immunology, and the clinical sciences. In these two volumes we have attempted to bring together some of these techniques—to combine the old and the new. Biomembrane Protocols: II. Architecture and Function is concerned exclusively with the architecture and activities of membranes, whereas the companion volume, Biomembrane Protocols: I. Isolation and Analysis, deals with their isolation and compositional analysis. The aim of each chapter is to provide detailed technical and meth­ odological information that will allow the reader to perform the tech­ nique successfully, without the need to consult other texts. Detailed reviews of membrane structure and function are not included, except where they are relevant to the choice or efficacy of a particular proce­ dure. In addition to Materials and Methods sections, each chapter has a Notes section that explains the reasons for taking certain steps and pro­ vides practical tips for applying the techniques to other systems.
