Silver empowerment is a valuable paradigm to improve care and support systems for older persons. It aims to counteract the dominant image of ageing, which is all too often one of decline, dependency and vulnerability, and rather sees ageing and the ageing population as a challenge that opens up new opportunities. By focusing on the strengths and connections of older persons, silver empowerment strives for an inclusive, age-friendly society that will allow everyone to grow old with dignity and meaning. In this book, leading academics from a variety of disciplines discuss ways to enhance the empowerment of older persons in practice. Covering a wide range of topics such as resilience, loneliness, community-based care, the interplay between formal and informal care, the inclusion of older persons’ perspectives in research and care, and empowering policy, Silver Empowerment is of interest to academics, policy makers and practitioners interested in empowerment and care and support systems for older persons.
Kolonialisme kwam niet tot een einde na de formele onafhankelijkheid van kolonies. Ook vandaag nog zien heel wat mensen koloniale structuren en denkwijzen doorwerken. Ze verwijzen daarbij naar allerlei vormen van discriminatie, racisme, sociale ongelijkheid en ongelijke machtsverhoudingen. Zij roepen daarom ook op om samenlevingen wereldwijd te dekoloniseren. Dit volume in de reeks Historisch Denken verbindt het actuele maatschappelijke debat met recente ontwikkelingen en trendbreuken in de geschiedschrijving over postkolonialisme, (de)kolonisatie en subalterniteit (ondergeschiktheid) en geeft concrete aanzetten voor de vertaling ervan naar de klaspraktijk. Het eerste deel plaatst het dekolo...
An innovative collection of perspectives on school bullying and cyberbullying from India, Western Europe and Australia.
The focus of restorative policing is within a community-oriented policing approach, where the police have important tasks in rendering services to the population. Traditional forms of penal treatment no longer satisfy entirely, especially in relation to nuisances, incivilities, and petty crime. Is the community police officer the simple 'registrator' of events between victim and offender? Can s/he take the role of mediator, or can s/he refer to external instances in the domain of mediation or to civil judges? Do the police have their own restorative regulations and institutionalized practices, and are they involved in mediation in penal matters? In what ways do police officers contribute to informal restorative practices and conflict resolution in neighborhoods? This book is about restorative policing practices, and the place and role police forces can take in this kind of approach.

The Auditory System and Human Sound-Localization Behavior provides a comprehensive account of the full action-perception cycle underlying spatial hearing. It highlights the interesting properties of the auditory system, such as its organization in azimuth and elevation coordinates. Readers will appreciate that sound localization is inherently a neuro-computational process (it needs to process on implicit and independent acoustic cues). The localization problem of which sound location gave rise to a particular sensory acoustic input cannot be uniquely solved, and therefore requires some clever strategies to cope with everyday situations. The reader is guided through the full interdisciplinary...
