Teaching Social Competencies in Post-Conflict Societies
Learner-centered education is not only a crucial issue for quality of education but also for students' social self-esteem, self-effectiveness and societal peace and coherence. Following the trauma of the genocide, learner-centered education has been systematically introduced in Rwandan protestant schools in response to the need for peace, social coherence and to improve the quality of education. This book provides an overview of the concepts and experiences from a new Rwandan teacher training program "Participatory and active Pedagogy," its educational theory, strategies of implementation, testimonials of teachers involved and the results of an evaluation testing the teachers' development and curriculum effectiveness on students. Francois Rwambonera headed the teacher training program and department for education of the ecumenical Council of Churches in Rwanda from 1995 to 2012. Annette Scheunpflug and Susanne Krogull, both from Otto-Friedrich University in Bamberg, Germany, were charged with completing an independent evaluation of the program.
School Shootings
School shootings are a topic of research in a variety of different disciplines—from psychology, to sociology to criminology, pedagogy, and public health—each with their own set of theories. Many of these theories are logically interconnected, while some differ widely and seem incompatible with each other, leading to divergent results about potential means of prevention. In this innovative work, leading researchers on the topic of school shootings introduce their findings and theoretical concepts in one combined systematic volume. The contributions to this work highlight both the complementary findings from different fields, as well as cases where they diverge or contradict each other. Th...

Understanding Violence Against Women
Violence against women is one factor in the growing wave of alarm about violence in American society. High-profile cases such as the O.J.

The search for solutions has highlighted not only what we know about violence against women but also what we do not know. How can we achieve the best understanding of this problem and its complex ramifications? What research efforts will yield the greatest benefit? What are the questions that must be answered? Understanding Violence Against Women presents a comprehensive overview of current knowledg...
Theories of Sexual Offending
This comprehensive text provides an up-to-date review and critique of current theorising about sexual offending. It presents the key ideas underpinning each theory in a clear and accessible manner. Theories are rigorously tested and evaluated, and their merits are examined from both a research and a clinical point of view. Importantly, the emphasis is on providing clear links between theory and practice, and the clinical implications of the different theories and perspectives are explicitly discussed. In addition, a number of new ideas about the aetiology of sexual offending are presented. Theories of Sexual Offending is one of the few books to draw all of the disparate strands of theorising together, and is the only one to clearly link theory to practice. It will be a valuable resource for any professional working with sexual offenders, such as clinical and forensic psychologists, psychiatrists, probation officers and social workers. It will also be of interest to students of forensic and clinical psychology.
