In recent years, controversy has surrounded the role of top government lawyers in the United States and the United Kingdom. Allegations of bad lawyering and bad ethics in public office over the ’torture memos’ in the United States and the political pressure placed on the Attorney-General in the United Kingdom to approve the legality of the Iraq war, have seen these relatively obscure group of government lawyers thrust into the public debate. Unlike its Anglo-American contemporaries, Australia’s chief legal adviser, the Solicitor-General, has remained largely out of the public eye. This collection provides a rare and overdue insight into a fundamental public institution in all Australian jurisdictions. It provides a historical, theoretical, practical and comparative perspective of this little known, but vitally important, office at a time when the transparency and accountability of government has taken on an increased significance. Of interest to anyone interested in the integrity of government, the book will be particularly useful to government, political parties and the academy. It will also be a valuable reference work to those working towards a redefinition of the role of top government legal advisors.
How should society manage sex offenders who are released from prison? How can sex offenders be detained in a way that prevents re-offending while respecting civil liberties? Is preventive detention a type of double punishment? Do prison-based sex offender treatment programs work? What is the best way to protect the community from sex offending?Professors McSherry and Keyzer focus on three key modern policy responses to such questions, and the cases that propelled their development:Earl Shriner in Washington State, and the United States approach of detaining 'sexually violent predators' in special institutions;Dennis Ferguson in Queensland, and the Australian post-sentence detention and supervision schemes;John Cronin in Scotland, and the Scottish approach of making orders for lifelong restriction at the time of sentence.
This Advanced Introduction provides a concise yet thorough guide to understanding and planning advertising, while answering the key questions at the forefront of this modern topic: what is advertising? What is its role in businesses and organizations? And what are the implications of the offline–online shift?
Beichten eines Reformators" erzählt die Geschichte des katholischen Pfarrers Christian Sauer, der sich gegen die drohende Schließung seiner Dorfkirche zu wehren versucht. Doch Argumente hat er wenige: Das Gebäude ist sanierungsbedürftig, langjährige Kirchgänger sterben ihm der Reihe nach weg und der junge Nachwuchs bleibt aus. Nicht selten begrüßt Christian daher weniger als ein dutzend Menschen zum Gottesdienst, was nicht nur an seiner Zufriedenheit nagt, sondern auch Gedanken über eine Zusammenlegung zweier Gemeinden weckt. In diesem Fall würde Christian sehr wahrscheinlich versetzt werden, was ein Problem darstellt, denn mehr noch als den lieben Gott liebt er seine heimliche Freundin Maren - die nicht bereit wäre, Wohnort und Job für eine ungewisse Zukunft zu opfern.Als Christian seiner heimlichen Verehrerin, der Rentnerin Edith, sein Leid klagt, erzählt sie ihm von einer Gemeinde, der es gelungen sein soll, mit Hilfe von Werbung ihre Kirche wieder zu füllen. Der Pfarrer reagiert zunächst skeptisch auf den Vorschlag, aber ihm wird schnell klar, dass er zu ungewöhnlichen Mitteln greifen muss, wenn er die Jugend erreichen und seine Kirche retten will. Also beauftragt er den kreativen, aber egozentrischen und bis dato eher erfolglosen PR-Berater Markus Schlächter zunächst mit dem Entwurf eines simplen Flyers - und tatsächlich kann Christian beim folgenden Gottesdienst mehrere neue und vor allem junge Gläubige begrüßen.Während Edith damit zufrieden zu sein scheint, hat Christian Blut geleckt und bittet Markus um eine Ausweitung der Werbekampagne. Markus erkennt langsam das Potential, das darin steckt, Werbung für eine Kirche zu machen, und bietet Christian seine kostenlose Unterstützung an - unter der Voraussetzung, dass der ihm freie Hand lässt. Und damit nimmt das Schicksal seinen Lauf...
This book is a single source of a diverse set of tools that will maximize a study's validity when RS and RA are neither possible nor practical. Readers are guided in selecting and implementing an appropriate strategy, including exemplar sampling, sequential sampling, randomization tests, multiple imputation, and much more.
This book stitches together a complete design journey from beginning to end in a way that you’ve likely never seen before, guiding readers (you) step-by-step in a practical way from the initial spark of an idea all the way to scaling it into a better business. Design a Better Business includes a comprehensive set of tools (over 20 total!) and skills that will help you harness opportunity from uncertainty by building the right team(s) and balancing your point of view against new findings from the outside world. This book also features over 50 case studies and real life examples from large corporations such as ING Bank, Audi, Autodesk, and Toyota Financial Services, to small startups, incubators, and social impact organizations, providing a behind the scenes look at the best practices and pitfalls to avoid. Also included are personal insights from thought leaders such as Steve Blank on innovation, Alex Osterwalder on business models, Nancy Duarte on storytelling, and Rob Fitzpatrick on questioning, among others.
This book highlights the field of youth mental health and why it is a specialty distinct from both child and adolescent and adult mental health. Youth Mental Health: Approaches to Emerging Mental Ill-Health in Young People examines issues such as mental health literacy, e-Health, family, psychological, vocational and pharmacological interventions. The authors also discuss issues that are particularly pertinent to young people, such as suicidality, substance abuse, gender identity and sexuality, attention deficit disorder and eating disorders. Taking a preventative focus, this book presents evidence for youth mental health as an important and growing field, makes the case for the reform of existing service structures to better serve this group and outlines the latest specialised approaches to treatment. Drawing on the knowledge and expertise of leading thinkers in youth mental health, this book is instrumental for mental health professionals who wish to design new specialised mental health systems for young people.
This book describes the design of fully digital multistandard transmitter front-ends which can directly drive one or more switching power amplifiers, thus eliminating all other analog components. After reviewing different architectures, the authors focus on polar architectures using pulse width modulation (PWM), which are entirely based on unclocked delay lines and other continuous-time digital hardware. As a result, readers are enabled to shift accuracy concerns from the voltage domain to the time domain, to coincide with submicron CMOS technology scaling. The authors present different architectural options and compare them, based on their effect on the signal and spectrum quality. Next, a high-level theoretical analysis of two different PWM-based architectures – baseband PWM and RF PWM – is made. On the circuit level, traditional digital components and design techniques are revisited from the point of view of continuous-time digital circuits. Important design criteria are identified and different solutions are presented, along with their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, two chips designed in nanometer CMOS technologies are described, along with measurement results for validation.
