Download or read book Crimes against Children written by Stephen Robertson and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2006-03-08 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first half of the twentieth century, Americans' intense concern with sex crimes against children led to a wave of public discussion, legislative action, and criminal prosecution. Stephen Robertson provides the first large-scale, long-term study of how American criminal courts dealt with the prosecution of sexual violence against children. Robertson describes how the nineteenth-century approach to childhood as a single phase of innocence began to shift at the end of the century to include several stages of childhood development, prompting reformers to create legal categories such as statutory rape and carnal abuse to protect children. However, while ordinary New Yorkers' involvement in the prosecution of those offenses reshaped their understandings of who was a child and produced a new concern to establish the age of their sexual partners, their beliefs in childhood innocence and in a concept of sexuality centered on sexual intercourse remained unchanged. As a result, families' use of the law and jurors' decisions ultimately diminished the protection the new laws offered to children. Robertson's study, based on the previously unexamined files of the New York County district attorney's office, reveals the importance of child sexuality and sex crimes in twentieth-century American culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sun was setting and the only place to anchor was at the entrance to a small stream. With anchor down, we jumped into a dinghy to explore the dense jungle the stream penetrated. After a hundred yards or so, we stopped the outboard. Now the fauna slowly recovered from our racket and jungle noises began: bugs, birds, and mystery sounds. We saw colorful parrots and then-by the hundreds-the brilliant scarlet ibis. Then monkeys! Totally quiet, they watched us intently, warily, irritated by our encroachment into their world.

Download or read book Language Literacy and Communication in the Early Years written by Carol Hayes and published by Critical Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-18 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book guides students and practitioners through the wealth of information on cognition and language development by breaking the area down into manageable chunks and drawing these together into a full understanding of the holistic nature of child development. Children with communication difficulties are at risk of poor outcomes educationally, socially and in employability. Whilst there may be a range of interventions which can help children, it is the practice of those working with them that is the key to success. Therefore a firm understanding of communication development and the ability to adapt teaching to support children’s individual needs are vital. The text offers a balanced approach to the theories and research into the development and acquisition of language and literacy in the early years. It examines how practice can be improved and the impact that language and literacy development has on learning outcomes. It also, importantly, addresses the particular pedagogy related to bilingual and multilingual learners. Carefully structured activities are provided and the text clearly relates theory to practice. Pedagogical features encourage a questioning, challenging and reflective approach, promoting critical thinking throughout.

Recently widowed and feeling terrorised, she flees to an anonymous apartment block and, for protection, sets about inventing a marriage with an imaginary husband.

Download or read book Quadruplets and Higher Multiple Births written by Marie M. Clay and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-12-14 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of hormonal infertility treatments and in vitro fertilization techniques have led to a sharp increase in the number of quadruplet and higher-order conceptions in recent years. Improved neonatal care and nutrition have meant that many more of these babies survive. Yet it appears that very little research has been done into the lives of such children and the psychodevelopmental consequences of their multiple status. In this book, Marie M. Clay brings together what is known from historical records and reports in the medical, psychological, and popular press. She points to the contribution that research studies on higher multiple sets could make to our understanding of genetic-environmental interactions and gives valuable methodological advice for those wishing to initiate such a study. Changes in social practices and medical knowledge are highlighted, various aspects of pregnancy and birth are discussed, and the practical and emotional problems faced by families of multiple sets are sensitively described. Appended to the book are an illustrated "Catalog" of quadruplet case reports gleaned from the literature, including birth details and postnatal histories, plus a directory of multiple birth associations, support groups, and study centers around the world.

Detective Inspector Michael Ballard’s relentless pursuit of the group’s hierarchy, backed by colleague’s John Henderson, and the Serious Crime Taskforce Commander, Peter Donaldson, has struck a hurdle. The Board’s tentacles have penetrated the state’s political system, the police force, and even big business. Alarmingly, direct threats have been made against Ballard and John and their families, warning them that should the homicide detectives dogged investigations continue, their loved ones will suffer. If that isn’t shocking enough, The Board has now set its sights on the first shipment of nuclear waste due to be entombed in the Victorian outback—a scenario that has implications for millions of lives. The three detective’s expertise and resolve is about to be tested to the full.
