Download or read book Black Identities written by Mary C. WATERS and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of West Indian immigrants to the United States is generally considered to be a great success. Mary Waters, however, tells a very different story. She finds that the values that gain first-generation immigrants initial success--a willingness to work hard, a lack of attention to racism, a desire for education, an incentive to save--are undermined by the realities of life and race relations in the United States. Contrary to long-held beliefs, Waters finds, those who resist Americanization are most likely to succeed economically, especially in the second generation.
Download or read book Violence Against Women written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Violence against women undermines women's core fundamental rights such as dignity, access to justice and gender equality. For example, one in three women has experienced physical and/or sexual violence since the age of 15; one in five women has experienced stalking; every second woman has been confronted with one or more forms of sexual harassment. What emerges is a picture of extensive abuse that affects many women's lives but is systematically underreported to the authorities. The scale of violence against women is therefore not reflected by official data. This FRA survey is the first of its kind on violence against women across the 28 Member States of the European Union (EU). It is based on interviews with 42,000 women across the EU, who were asked about their experiences of physical, sexual and psychological violence, including incidents of intimate partner violence ('domestic violence'). The survey also included questions on stalking, sexual harassment, and the role played by new technologies in women's experiences of abuse. In addition, it asked about their experiences of violence in childhood. Based on the detailed findings, FRA suggests courses of action in different areas that are touched by violence against women and go beyond the narrow confines of criminal law, ranging from employment and health to the medium of new technologies."--Editor.

Northern Ireland Affairs Committee and published by Stationery Office Books (TSO). This book was released on 2005 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hate crimes are offences committed on grounds of ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, political opinion or disability, and can include verbal abuse, physical assault, intimidation or damage to property. Given the rise in recent years in the level of such incidents in Northern Ireland, the Committees report examines the reasons for the increase; the effectiveness of enforcement measures and responses by the central and local government, community organisations, employers, trade unions and Churches to tackle the issue and give support to the victims of such prejudice; and the effectiveness of the existing law on hate crime in Northern Ireland and proposed reforms. The Committees findings include i) concern that, until recently, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) had no formal definition of sectarian hate crime; and ii) the pace of policy and strategy development and leadership by Government and enforcement measures by the PSNI will need to be speeded up. A number of recommendations are made for co-ordinated and urgent action to halt the rise in hate crimes, in order to avoid the serious consequences for the pace of social improvement in Northern Ireland.
