Children are suffering from a hidden epidemic of child abuse and neglect. Every year more than 3 million reports of child abuse are made in the United States involving more than 6 million children. The United States has one of the worst records among industrialized nations – losing on average between four and seven children every day to child abuse and neglect. The WHO reports that over 40 million children, below the age of 15, are subjected to child abuse each year. Domestic violence in the home increases that risk threefold.

It is designed to be a quick reference and focuses on the best practices to use during a child abuse investigation. The guide explains the Minimal Facts Interview, the Forensic Interview, and the entire process from report to court.

Best practices and standard procedures exist to help ensure cases are discovered, reported and investigated properly, to ensure good documentation is obtained to achieve prosecution and conviction.

The “disappearance” and torture of many people during the worst days of the authoritarian regimes that ruled many Latin American countries in the 1970s have been well documented and widely condemned as abuses of human rights. Less well known is what has become of the movements for human rights once democratic governments were restored in these countries. In this book, Michelle Bonner reveals how the defense of human rights continues today, taking Argentina as her primary example (with comparison to Chile in the final chapter). Bonner shows that the role of women—viewed as protectors of the family—is key to understanding how human rights movements have evolved. Moreover, the continuity of the “historical frames” used to legitimate their activity is an essential element in the success of their efforts, even while the claimed abuse has changed from the political repression undertaken by the dictators’ minions to the economic hardships created by market inequities resulting from neoliberal policies. Based on extensive field research and providing a long historical view extending from colonial times to the present, this study compares the activities of the ten most prominent human rights organizations in Argentina and assesses the responses of both state and society.

Werewolf - an unrestrained beast of anarchy or a cold and relentless, calculating killer? If you cannot answer this with absolute certainty, it's possibly because the werewolf you met is more evolved than man ever dreamed. Werewolves do exist and they exist alongside our society, they have their own rules and hierarchy, they hide in plain sight and have done for millennia. Sometimes, the female of the species is Deadlier... than the male.
JACK THE RIPPER What really happened to him Victorian London and in a very short time, the inhabitants of the slums of Whitechapel will find that they have a bigger worry than the usual deprivation, disease and crime. There's a killer in town but not just any killer, he likes tearing his victims apart, feeling their terror as well as their entrails! Jack The Ripper is his adopted nickname and he certainly lives up to it! The part of the Wolf Society that inhabits these streets and the ones in close proximity to Whitechapel are also concerned. If the murderer is not captured shortly, he'll draw attention of the unwanted kind, the kind that may dig deeper than the Wolves would like - deeper than they can afford. If the Hume Police Force should find evidence of Werewolf activity, Wolves will find themselves the hunted once again. Chased from England's shores as they were once before. Chased or eradicated. Hazel must decide whether her Sentinels should find the murderer or allow the Police to find him - but if her suspicions are correct that he is a Throwback and the Police do find him first, then the Werewolf society will be hunted and eradicated anyway!
