Burnout for Experts
Wherever people are working, there is some type of stress—and where there is stress, there is the risk of burnout. It is widespread, the subject of numerous studies in the U.S. and abroad. It is also costly, both to individuals in the form of sick days, lost wages, and emotional exhaustion, and to the workplace in terms of the bottom line. But as we are now beginning to understand, burnout is also preventable. Burnout for Experts brings multifaceted analysis to a multilayered problem, offering comprehensive discussion of contributing factors, classic and less widely perceived markers of burnout, coping strategies, and treatment methods. International perspectives consider phase models of b...

Gender-Based Violence in the Global South
This book amplifies the different voices and experiences of those facing gender-based violence (GBV) in the Global South. It explores the localised ways in which marginalised individuals design modes of coping with and address GBV, including cultural interpretations, and artistic and faith-based expressions. The book examines GBV triggers, prevalence, and societal impacts while referring to community, national, and regional mobilisation to deal with the phenomenon in its various manifestations, including physical, psychological, political, domestic, and public violence. It explores issues related to women’s negotiations with the patriarchal underpinnings of GBV; the role of the law and his...
Negotiating Boundaries
The favelas (slums) of Rio de Janeiro provide an ideal case study since they are renowned for high levels of police and gang violence resulting in high death rates among young black men, causing both outrage and fear. This book foregrounds women's experiences and how different forms of violence overlap and reinforce one another.
Amor e violência
Gerar conhecimento estratégico sobre o tema da violência no namoro e no ‘ficar’ dos adolescentes brasileiros: este foi o objetivo de um estudo pioneiro realizado por pesquisadores de nove universidades públicas e da Fiocruz. O trabalho, que teve início em 2007, coletou, produziu e analisou dados quantitativos e qualitativos de âmbito nacional. O estudo foi realizado com cerca de 3.200 jovens, de 15 a 19 anos, matriculados em escolas públicas e particulares de dez cidades (Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Cuiabá, Florianópolis, Manaus, Porto Alegre, Porto Velho, Rio de Janeiro, Recife e Teresina). Os resultados da investigação deram origem a esta coletânea, que faz uma síntese dos achados, mas também das interrogações do estudo.
Maras
Sensational headlines have publicized the drug trafficking, brutal violence, and other organized crime elements associated with Central America's mara gangs, but there have been few clear-eyed analyses of the history, hierarchies, and future of the mara phenomenon. The first book to look specifically at the Central American gang problem by drawing on the perspectives of researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds, Maras: Gang Violence and Security in Central America provides much-needed insight. These essays trace the development of the gangs, from Mara Salvatrucha to the 18th Street Gang, in Los Angeles and their spread to El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, and Nicaragua as the resul...
World Report on Child Injury Prevention
Child injuries are largely absent from child survival initiatives presently on the global agenda. Through this report, the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund and many partners have set out to elevate child injury to a priority for the global public health and development communities. It should be seen as a complement to the UN Secretary-General's study on violence against children released in late 2006 (that report addressed violence-related or intentional injuries). Both reports suggest that child injury and violence prevention programs need to be integrated into child survival and other broad strategies focused on improving the lives of children. Evidence demonstrates the dramatic successes in child injury prevention in countries which have made a concerted effort. These results make a case for increasing investments in human resources and institutional capacities. Implementing proven interventions could save more than a thousand children's lives a day.--p. vii.

Traçando Caminhos em uma Sociedade Violenta
Objetiva aprofundar o conhecimento sobre a violência praticada por jovens, com base, dentre outras, na seguinte pergunta: por que, na mesma família, somente alguns desenvolvem comportamento delinquente? Foram escolhidos Rio de Janeiro e Pernambuco, com incidência elevada de infrações juvenis, para olhar mais de perto o universo daqueles que cometeram delitos e de suas famílias - que, muitas vezes, não estão envolvidas na criminalidade. Foram entrevistados 61 adolescentes infratores internos em quatro instituições (três no Rio, uma em Recife) e 31 de seus irmãos ou primos que afirmaram nunca terem cometidos atos infracionais. Parte de seus depoimentos está publicada nesta obra que busca compreender tais jovens, suas angústias e anseios na vivência do presente e construção do futuro.
