Cruel But Not Unusual
Picture family life in Canada. Does it include women or girls being murdered, on average, every two and a half days? Or the fact that intimate partner violence counts as nearly one-third of all reports to police? Or that child or elder abuse is more common than you might imagine? Written for students, instructors, practitioners, and advocates in all related fields, this expanded and updated third edition of Cruel But Not Unusual: Violence in Families in Canada offers the latest research, thinking, and strategies to address this hard reality in Canada today. Violence takes many forms inside relationships and families, and the systems charged with responding and helping can actually add to the...
Minorities and Deviance
Grounded in both current and original research, Minorities and Deviance, expands the definition of stress and its relationship to deviance, providing a better understanding the role stress can play in addiction, obsession, and self-harm. Focusing on ten types of relatively minor deviant behaviors, Pamela Black explores the stress engendered by minority group membership and the associated feelings of powerlessness and how this can serve as a significant source of stress in and of itself, but when combined with other stressors magnifies the possibility of deviance. Using theoretical constructs derived from Robert Agnew’s 1992 General Strain Theory, Black tests the effects of not only minority group membership and powerlessness as stressors, but also examines group differences in the effect of more traditional forms of stress: finances, health, and relationships.
Offenders and the Sexual Abuse of Children
This book synthesizes the nascent but growing body of literature and research emerging on risk management and treatment of persons who sexually offend against children. This volume demonstrates the need for change by placing current attitudes toward sexual offending in their sociocultural context and then discussing the impact of these attitudes. Rather than parse the needs of children who have been victimized from those who have offended, a model emerges that explains the interlocking dynamics of those who offend and those offended against. This book upends the convenient fiction that child sexual abuse can be reduced by locking away those who offend and then monitoring them upon release. R...
Happy Singlehood
Despite enduring whispers, sideway glances, and blatant discrimination, men and women today are choosing to remain single—and are enjoying complete and joyful lives. In this carefully crafted, thoroughly researched book, Elyakim Kislev delivers groundbreaking insights on the fastest growing demographic in the world: singles. Happy Singlehood investigates how unmarried people create satisfying lives in a world where social structures and policies are still designed to favor married couples. The book challenges readers to rethink how single people organize social and familial life in new ways, and illuminates how educators, policymakers, and urban planners ignore their needs. Based on personal interviews, singles’ writings, and widespread quantitative analysis, Happy Singlehood investigates how singles nurture social networks, create innovative communities, and effectively deal with discrimination. Showcasing voices of singles, Kislev charts a way forward to assist singles to live life on their terms, and explains how everyone—single or otherwise—benefits from the freedom to develop new and fulfilling lifestyles.
Young People, Stalking Awareness and Domestic Abuse
This book addresses domestic abuse and stalking among young people in the UK and Ireland, with a focus on intersectionality and lifestyle settings. In partnership with the Alice Ruggles Trust, this book draws on a wealth of expert contributions including those with lived experience, frontline services such as Paladin National Stalking Advocacy Service, charities EmilyTest and Hollie Gazzard Trust, researchers of so-called honour-based abuse and online harms, and forensic psychologists who work with people who stalk. It begins with an overview of ways to recognise harmful behaviours, including those carried out online. The discussion then moves on to methods and motivations of stalking and co...
Hébergement, logement et rétablissement en santé mentale
Le logement constitue le point d'ancrage de l'individu dans la société. Ainsi, avoir une adresse constitue un des facteurs les plus importants pour l'intégration sociale. Le fait pour les personnes vivant avec des troubles mentaux de ne pas toujours accéder à cet idéal signe en quelque sorte leur marginalité. Quelles sont les solutions? Du Connecticut, d'Ontario et du Québec, des expériences réussies.
Revenu minimum garanti
Cet ouvrage définit la notion de revenu minimum garanti avant d'explorer les diverses modalités (minimum social, impôt négatif et revenu de citoyenneté) au Canada, aux États-Unis et dans divers pays européens. L'auteur fait ressortir les dilemmes que pose toute stratégie de mise en place d'un revenu minimum garanti tant au plan des effets redistributifs et de l'efficacité économique qu'à celui de l'incitation à l'emploi et aborde aussi les controverses quant à sa faisabilité économique et sa légitimité politique.
Visages multiples de la parentalité
En tentant de rendre compte de la parentalité sur les plans biologique, social, psychologique et juridique, l'ouvrage propose un état des connaissances et identifie des pistes d'intervention et de recherche afin de clarifier nos représentations de ce qu'est un père ou une mère à travers les nombreuses ruptures conjugales qui engendrent des parents à temps partiel; les recompositions familiales qui donnent des fonctions parentales à des adultes sans lien juridique ou de sang avec les enfants; l'implantation d'ovocytes provenant de femmes fertiles à des femmes stériles; l'adoption d'enfants par des couples gais ou lesbiens; etc.
Contrer le décrochage scolaire par l'accompagnement éducatif
L’écriture de ce livre a été guidée par les histoires de sept jeunes ou, plutôt, un moment précis de ces histoires : celui de leur passage dans un organisme communautaire de lutte contre le décrochage scolaire (OCLD). Histoires de jeunes malheureux, meurtris, frustrés, qui ont accumulé abandons, incompréhension, rejets et échecs, dans leur famille et à l’école. Histoires qui reflètent les défaillances d’une diversité d’adultes et d’institutions, voire de la société tout entière. Histoires singulières, mais où se retrouvent des convergences, ces parcours de vie mettant en relief l’ensemble des éléments qui amènent les jeunes à entrer dans la spirale du dé...
