Book excerpt: Depuis 25 ans, de nombreuses études ont permis de documenter les capacités des enfants de moins de 12 ans à rapporter les agressions sexuelles qu'ils ont subies dans un contexte d'entrevue d'enquête policière conduites. Cependant, les adolescents représentent une grande proportion des victimes potentielles. Notre compréhension des enjeux en lien avec les entrevues d'enquête réalisées auprès des adolescents est limitée, alors qu'il est bien établi dans la documentation scientifique qu'ils se distinguent des enfants sur le plan développemental. Ainsi, l'objectif de cette thèse est d'examiner les différences quant au déroulement des entrevues d'enquête entre les enfants et les adolescents victimes d'agression sexuelle. Le premier article vise à comparer les entrevues d'enquête quant aux types de questions utilisées par les enquêteurs, aux types de réponses fournies par les victimes et aux liens entre ces deux éléments dans le but d'examiner la dynamique de l'entrevue en fonction du groupe d'âge. Vingt-deux transcriptions d'entrevues d'enfants âgés de 7 à 10 ans ont été codifiées et comparées à vingt-deux transcriptions d'entrevues d'adolescents âgés de 13 à 16 ans. Les résultats révèlent des structures d'échange différentes entre les enquêteurs et les victimes d'agression sexuelle selon l'âge. En effet, il est observé que les enquêteurs utilisent plus fréquemment des questions suggestives avec les adolescents, et ce, même à la suite de réponses qui fournissent des détails sur l'événement d'agression sexuelle de la part des victimes. Cette dynamique dans les interactions est susceptible de nuire à la qualité de l'entrevue étant donné les risques associés à l'utilisation de questions suggestives pour interroger les victimes (p. ex., contradiction dans le discours, détails erronés). Le deuxième article vise également à comparer les types de questions utilisées par les enquêteurs et les réponses des victimes en fonction de l'âge, mais en considérant la spécificité des réponses des mineurs (qualité des réponses) et les diverses catégories d'informations relatives à l'infraction (actions et parties du corps, contexte de l'agression sexuelle, autres victimes potentielles et témoins, référents internes). La méthodologie est la même que celle utilisée dans l'article 1. Les résultats suggèrent une utilisation plus fréquente des questions suggestives par les enquêteurs avec les adolescents en ce qui concerne les informations liées au contexte de l'agression sexuelle, alors qu'ils énoncent plus souvent des invitations auprès des enfants lorsque les informations se rapportent aux référents internes (émotions et interprétations). Pour ce qui est de la qualité des réponses, les adolescents fournissent une plus grande proportion de réponses élaborées en lien avec les informations portant sur le contexte de l'agression sexuelle, sur les autres victimes potentielles et les témoins ainsi que sur les référents internes. Les contributions de cette thèse seront discutées compte tenu des résultats observés dans les deux articles. En effet, il semble que les enquêteurs utilisent une grande proportion de questions suggestives auprès des adolescents, mais aussi de façon générale lors des entrevues avec les mineurs. De plus, les adolescents victimes ont de meilleures capacités pour rapporter des informations plus détaillées relatives à l'infraction (contexte de l'agression sexuelle, autres victimes potentielles et témoins, référents internes). Par ailleurs, en ce qui a trait aux implications, il est important que les enquêteurs aient accès à des formations et des suivis post-formation afin de mieux connaître les enjeux développementaux des adolescents et dans le but d'adopter des pratiques optimales lors des entrevues, notamment une utilisation plus fréquente des invitations. Actuellement, des protocoles d'entrevue non suggestive pour interroger les enfants, de même que les adultes, sont existants afin de guider les policiers dans la conduite de leurs entrevues. Cependant, le développement ou l'adaptation d'un protocole pour la conduite des entrevues spécifiquement auprès des adolescents victimes d'agression sexuelle s'avère pertinent. Finalement, concernant les avenues de recherches futures, il demeure essentiel de mieux comprendre le contexte d'utilisation des questions suggestives, ainsi que le vécu des adolescents et des policiers lors des entrevues d'enquête.

Book excerpt: Depuis les années 1990, de nombreuses recherches ont porté sur le dévoilement de l'agression sexuelle chez l'enfant et sur les caractéristiques y étant associées. Outre les facteurs liés à l'enfant et au contexte, le type de questions utilisé par l'intervieweur (notamment les invitations et les questions ouvertes) est une variable déterminante pour le dévoilement de l'enfant et la quantité de détails qui sera fournie entourant l'agression sexuelle. Bien que plusieurs enquêteurs reçoivent une formation sur l'utilisation des questions ouvertes dans les entrevues avec les enfants, peu d'entre eux utilisent un style de question approprié une fois sur le terrain. L'objectif de cette recherche vise à déterminer si certaines caractéristiques personnelles des enquêteurs sont associées à leur adhésion à un protocole d'entrevue structuré pour lequel ils ont été formés, à l'utilisation de questions ouvertes dans des entrevues d'enquête auprès d'enfants soupçonnés d'avoir vécu une agression sexuelle et à la quantité de détails dévoilés par l'enfant lors de ces entrevues. Deux études ont été menées pour répondre à cette question. La première étude a été effectuée à l'École nationale de police du Québec auprès de 24 enquêteurs de police ayant suivi une formation d'une semaine visant l'apprentissage du protocole d'entrevue structuré du National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). Le genre féminin, les habiletés cognitives et le trait de personnalité Ouverture à l'expérience sont trois caractéristiques personnelles qui ont été reliées positivement à la performance des enquêteurs lors d'une entrevue simulée avec un comédien jouant le rôle d'un enfant victime d'agression sexuelle, tandis que le nombre d'années d'expérience et la capacité de gestion du stress de ces enquêteurs ont montré une relation négative avec cette performance. Dans la seconde étude effectuée sur le terrain auprès de 13 enquêteurs du Service de police de la Ville de Montréal, 114 entrevues conduites auprès d'enfants ayant dévoilé une agression sexuelle ont été recueillies et cotées pour mesurer l'adhésion au protocole d'entrevue du NICHD, le ratio de questions ouvertes et la quantité de détails dévoilés par l'enfant par question posée par l'enquêteur. L'intelligence émotionnelle et les traits de personnalité Extraversion, Esprit consciencieux et Agréabilité ont été trouvés comme des caractéristiques personnelles positivement associées à l'adhésion au protocole d'entrevue et à l'utilisation de questions ouvertes, tandis que le nombre d'années d'expérience et le trait de personnalité Névrosisme ont été négativement associés à ces deux critères de performance. Le niveau d'habiletés cognitives des enquêteurs a quant à lui montré une association positive avec la quantité de détails dévoilés par l'enfant. La signification et l'interprétation de ces résultats, de même que les implications potentielles pour la sélection et la formation des enquêteurs sont finalement discutées.

Book excerpt: Deux dimensions influenceraient le nombre de détails révélés par l'enfant sur son agression sexuelle (AS) : le type de question posée par l'enquêteur et l'âge de l'enfant. L'objectif de cette étude est de connaître la nature des mots, soit les catégories utilisées par les enfants, ainsi que la quantité de nouveaux détails concernant la description du présumé agresseur en fonction de leur âge et du type de questions posées (invitation ou directive). Au total, 75 entrevues d'enquête policière réalisées auprès d'enfants (50 filles et 25 garçons) âgés de 3 à 12 ans (M = 7,21; É.T. = 2,75) scindées en 3 groupes (3 à 5 ans, 6 à 8 ans et 9 à 12 ans) ont été analysées. Des ANOVAS à un facteur et des tests post-hoc indiquent qu'il y a des différences significatives entre les trois groupes d'âge pour toutes les catégories. En effet, les enfants âgés de 9 à 12 ans révèlent significativement plus de détails que ceux âgés de 3 à 5 ans. De plus, une analyse de contenu illustre que la précision de la description du suspect s'améliore en fonction de l'âge des enfants. Enfin, les résultats de cette étude ne permettent pas d'identifier que les catégories des mots nommés par les enfants comportent un effet d'interaction entre le type de question et l'âge des enfants. Toutefois, un effet principal du type de question est obtenu pour la catégorie pronoms/noms. Également, un effet principal du groupe est identifié dans presque toutes les catégories. Ainsi, cette étude qui est la première à s'attarder au contenu dévoilé par l'enfant, permettra de mieux baliser les attentes des enquêteurs concernant la description du suspect.

This publication presents theoretical information, methods and resources for education and training activities, along with concrete exercises that users can put into practice in their daily work. Violence is a serious issue which directly affects the lives of many young people. It often results in lasting damage to their well-being and integrity, putting even their lives at risk. Gender-based violence, including violence against women, remains a key human rights challenge in contemporary Europe and in the world. Working with young people on human rights education is one way of preventing gender-based violence from occurring. By raising awareness on why and how it manifests and exploring its impact on people and in society, gender-based violence will no longer go undetected. Gender really does matter, to women, to men, to young people - to all of us. This manual serves to explore these human rights issues and act upon them."--Book jacket.

Book excerpt: This book is a practical and thoughtful guide for the forensic interview of children, presenting a synthesis of the empirical and theoretical knowledge necessary to understand the account of child victims of abuse or witnesses of crime. It is a complex task to interview children who are suspected of being abused in order to gather their stories, requiring the mastery of many skills and knowledge. This book is a practical one in that constant links are made between the results of the research and their relevance for the interventions made when interviewing child victims of abuse or witnesses of crime and in understanding their accounts. This book also presents in a detailed and concrete way the revised version of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD-R) Protocol, a forensic structured interview guide empirically supported by numerous studies carried out in different countries. The step-by-step explanations are illustrated with a verbatim interview with a child, as well as other tools to help the interviewer to prepare and handle an efficient and supportive interview. Conducting Interviews with Child Victims of Abuse and Witnesses of Crime is essential reading for stakeholders in the justice, social and health systems as well as anyone likely to receive allegations from children such as educators or daycare staff. Although the NICHD-R Protocol is intended for forensic interviewers, the science behind its development and application is relevant to all professionals working with children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Alsop and Heinsohn present an analytic framework that can be used to measure and monitor empowerment processes and outcomes. The measuring empowerment framework, rooted in both conceptual discourse and measurement practice, illustrates how to gather data on empowerment and structure its analysis. The framework can be used to measure empowerment at both the intervention level and the country level, as a part of poverty or governance monitoring. The authors first provide a definition of empowerment and then explain how the concept can be reduced to measurable components. Empowerment is defined as a person's capacity to make effective choices--that is, the capacity to transform choices into desired actions and outcomes. The extent or degree to which a person is empowered is influenced by personal agency (the capacity to make purposive choice) and opportunity structure (the institutional context in which choice is made). Asset endowments are used as indicators of agency. These assets may be psychological, informational, organizational, material, social, financial, or human. Opportunity structure is measured by the presence and operation of formal and informal institutions, including the laws, regulatory frameworks, and norms governing behavior. Degrees of empowerment are measured by the existence of choice, the use of choice, and the achievement of choice. Following the conceptual discussion and the presentation of the analytic framework, the authors show how the measuring empowerment framework can be applied using examples from four development interventions. Each example discusses how the framework guided analysis and development of empowerment indicators. They also present a draft module for measuring empowerment at the country level. The module can be used alone or be integrated into country-level poverty or governance monitoring systems that seek to add an empowerment dimension to their analysis. This paper--a product of the Poverty Reduction Group, Poverty Reduction and Economic Management Network--is part of a larger effort in the network to conceptualize, operationalize, and measure empowerment"--Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition from adolescence to adulthood has undergone significant changes in recent decades. Unlike a half century ago, when young people in industrialized countries moved from adolescence into young adulthood in relatively short order at around age 20, now the decade from the late teens to the late twenties is seen as an extended time of self-focused exploration and education in pursuit of optimally fulfilling relationships and careers. Recognition of this new period is stronger than ever, but an important question remains: should emerging adulthood be considered a developmental stage, or a process?In Debating Emerging Adulthood: Stage or Process? two pairs of developmental psychologists take sides in a debate that is central to the very concept of emerging adulthood. Arnett and Tanner argue that as young people around the world share demographic similarities, such as longer education and later marriage, the years between the ages 18 and 25 are best understood as entailing a new life stage. However, because the experiences of emerging adults worldwide vary according to cultural context, educational attainment, and social class, these two scholars suggest that there may not be one but many different emerging adulthoods. An important issue for this burgeoning area of inquiry is to explore and describe this variation. In contrast, Hendry and Kloep assert that stage theories have never been able to explain individual transitions across the life course; in their view, stage theories-including the theory of emerging adulthood-ought to be abolished altogether, and explanations found for the processes and mechanisms that govern human change at any age. This engaging book maps out the argument of "stage or process" in detail, with vigorous disagreements, conflicting alternatives, and some leavening humor, ultimately even finding some common ground. Debating Emerging Adulthood is an absolute must-read for developmental psychologists as well as anyone interested in this indisputably important time of life.

It is both practical and well justified on the basis of the literature. The approach and survey instruments developed to measure empowerment are innovative and very useful. Developing an approach to empirically measure empowerment, and to track empowerment indicators over time in a way that is operationally feasible and consistent with World Bank standards is certainly an outstanding achievement."Reginer Birner, Senior Researc.

Book excerpt: Contemporary Criminological Issues tackles some of today’s most pressing social issues, from the criminalization of Indigenous peoples to interpersonal violence, border control, and armed conflicts. This book advances cutting-edge theories and methods, with the aim of moving beyond the scholarship that reproduces insecurity and exclusion. The breadth of approaches encompasses much of the current critical criminological scholarship, serving as a counterpoint to the growth of managerial and administrative criminologies and the rise of explicitly exclusionary and punitive state policies and practices with respect to ‘crime’ and ‘security.’ This edited collection featuring two books, one in English and one in French, includes important contributions to knowledge and public policy by eminent experts and emerging scholars. This book is published in English.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Awakening the Dreamer: Clinical Journeys, Philip Bromberg continues the illuminating explorations into dissociation and clinical process begun in Standing in the Spaces (1998). Bromberg is among our most gifted clinical writers, especially in his unique ability to record peripheral variations in relatedness - those subtle, split-second changes that capture the powerful workings of dissociation and chart the changing self-states that analyst and patient bring to the moment. For Bromberg, a model of mind premised on the centrality of self-states and dissociation not only offers the optimal lens for comprehending and interpreting clinical data; it also provides maximum leverage for achieving true intersubjective relatedness. And this manner of looking at clinical data offers the best vantage point for integrating psychoanalytic experience with the burgeoning findings of contemporary neuroscience, cognitive and developmental psychology, and attachment research. Dreams are approached not as texts in need of deciphering but as means of contacting genuine but not yet fully conscious self-states. From here, he explores how the patient's "dreamer" and the analyst's "dreamer" can come together to turn the "real" into the "really real" of mutative therapeutic dialogue. The "difficult," frequently traumatized patient is newly appraised in terms of tensions within the therapeutic dyad. And then there is the "haunted" patient who carries a sense of preordained doom through years of otherwise productive work - until the analyst can finally feel the patient's doom as his or her own. Laced with Bromberg's characteristic honesty, humor, and thoughtfulness, these essays elegantly attest to the mind's reliance on dissociation, in both normal and pathological variants, in the ongoing effort to maintain self-organization. Awakening the Dreamer, no less than Standing in the Spaces, is destined to become a permanent part of the literature on therapeutic process and change.

Book excerpt: Grounded in research and accumulated clinical wisdom, this book describes a range of ways to integrate mindfulness and other contemplative practices into clinical work with trauma survivors. The volume showcases treatment approaches that can be tailored to this population's needs, such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), and mindful self-compassion (MSC), among others. Featuring vivid case material, the book explores which elements of contemplative traditions support recovery and how to apply them safely. Neurobiological foundations of mindfulness-oriented work are examined. Treatment applications are illustrated for specific trauma populations, such as clients with chronic pain, military veterans, and children and adolescents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past two generations, extensive research has been conducted on the determinants of homosexuality. But, until now, scant attention has been paid to what is perhaps the most mysterious--and potentially illuminating--variation of human sexual expression, bisexuality. Today, as ignorance and fear of AIDS makes greater awareness of all forms of sexual behavior an urgent matter of private and public consequence, leading sex researchers Martin Weinberg, Colin Williams, and Douglas Pryor provide us with the first major study of bisexuality. Weinberg, Williams, and Pryor explore the riddle of dual attraction in their study of 800 residents of San Francisco. Fieldwork, intensive interviews, and surveys provided a wealth of data about the nature of bisexual attraction, the steps that lead people to become bisexual, and how sexual preference can change over time. They found that heterosexuals, more often than homosexuals, become bisexual; that bisexual men and women differ markedly in their sexual behavior and romantic feelings; that most bisexuals ultimately settle into long-term relationships while continuing sexual activity outside those relationships; and they also explain why transsexuals often become bisexual. Moreover, the authors discovered that as the AIDS crisis unfolded, many bisexual men entered into monogamous relationships with women, and bisexual women into more lesbian relationships. Recent media accounts attest that a growing number of researchers and writers are narrowing the fundamental cause of sexual preference to a single factor, biology. But if, as this study shows, learning plays a significant part in helping people traverse the boundaries of gender, if past and present intimate relationships influence their changing preferences, and if bisexual activity is inseparable from a social environment which provides distinctive sexual opportunities, then a mosaic of factors far more complex than those previously considered must be entertained in explaining the fuller spectrum of sexual preferences. Dual Attraction is one of the most significant contributions to our understanding of sexuality since the original Kinsey reports and Bell and Weinberg's 1978 international bestseller, Homosexualities. It is must reading for all those interested in the study of sexual behavior--especially now, since the onset of AIDS.

This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the nature and significance of the impact of population growth on the weIl-being of developing countries-in particular, the effects on economic growth, education, health, food supply, housing, poverty, and the environment. In addition, because family planning programmes often significantly affect population growth, the study examines the impacts of family planning on fertility and health, and the human rights implications of family planning programmes. In considering the book's conclusions about the impact of population growth on development, four caveats should be noted. First, the effects of population growth vary from place to place and over time. Thus, blanket statements about overall effects often cannot be made. Where possible, the authors note the contexts in which population effects are strongest and weakest. Second, all of the outcomes examined in this book are influenced by factors other than population growth. Moreover, the impact of population growth may itself vary according to the presence or absence of other factors. This again makes bl anket statements about the effects of population growth difficult. Throughout the chapters, the authors try to identify other relevant factors that influence the outcomes we discuss or that influence the impact of population growth on those outcomes.

How can we assess the feasibility and probability of terrorists in certain circumstances resorting to nuclear, chemical or biological weapons? Bearing in mind that terrorists have already resorted to mass murder in the form of sabotage bombing of airliners, tragically demonstrated in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, how effective have the aviation authorities been in using technology and other measures to combat this threat?

Book excerpt: If the hurt and grief we carry is a woven blanket, it is time to weave ourselves anew. In the Nłeʔkepmxcín language, spíləx̣m are remembered stories, often shared over tea in the quiet hours between Elders. Rooted within the British Columbia landscape, and with an almost tactile representation of being on the land and water, Spíləx̣m explores resilience, reconnection, and narrative memory through stories. Captivating and deeply moving, this story basket of memories tells one Indigenous woman’s journey of overcoming adversity and colonial trauma to find strength through creative works and traditional perspectives of healing, transformation, and resurgence.
