Violence Impacting Children and Youth
While much of the Global North has experienced relative peace after World War 2, the same cannot be said about the Global South, where there have been numerous political and military conflicts. Out of these forms of violence, other subsequent forms of deprivation and state repression have resulted, causing further spinoffs, and inducing more forms of violence impacting children and youth in homes, schools, street life, and in war zones as refugees and child soldiers. This book provides informative perspectives on violence impacting children and youth, examining trends, dynamics, and experiences of violence in the Global South’s varied settings. It enables policymakers to develop useful strategies to protect children and youth since the future of every society lies in the quality of life given to its children and youth. The book will be of great value to educators, social workers, scholars, and researchers in violence-related areas of practice.
Critical Government Documents on Law and Order
Critical Government Documents on Law and Order reviews of many law and order issues facing us today. The book does not offer any new science nor attempt to take sides. It is, however, an attempt to gather together information from as many sources as possible so that you, the reader, don’t have to. It presents arguments for and against the issues covered so that the reader can come to his or her own conclusions. Areas covered include the threat from domestic and international terrorism and the growth of extremist militias, the increase in school place and workplace violence, relationships between police and the public, and how people can protect themselves from being victims of crime. About the Series: TheCritical Documents Series looks at critical issues of our times. It provides non-partisan information with no spin about critical players, events, and information from and about Washington from as many sources as possible — from scientific journals and government reports to political manifestos and lobby group publications. It presents arguments for and against the issues covered so that you the reader can come to your own conclusions.
Adolescent Health
Current policy initiatives that address the health of youth, a group where more than one set of developmental standards may apply, often are based on conflicting evidence. At the same time, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child has provided an over-arching ethical framework with the goal of ensuring that all children and youth have equal human rights, regardless of their personal or family circumstances. How do these approaches coincide and are they working? In Adolescent Health a contemporary setting is used to illustrate the intersection of evidence and ethics in policy making. Individual chapters describe the social determinants of youth health (chronic conditions, ethnicity, famil...
Measuring the Unmeasurable in Education
Debates around quality versus quantity in education can generate controversy about how quality is measured. Many question the drive to delineate and quantify precisely what works, suggesting that much value either cannot be measured or is distorted by measurement. This book explores how we can understand measurement in areas of education policy, planning, and practice that have not previously been considered measurable. The contributors ask four main questions: What do we measure and not measure when we try to measure the unmeasurable in education? When attempts have been made to measure the unmeasurable in education, what metrics have been adopted in which contexts, and with what outcomes? ...
