This eye-opening volume examines ways in which religious
institutions can be misused to mask illegal financial dealings, and
steps law enforcement can take to combat these criminal activities.
The chapters review legal rights and responsibilities of churches
and the types of loopholes that can allow unscrupulous practices to
flourish. This book offers local and global proposals for the study
and practice of improving financial transparency for religious
organizations, and assessing and curbing monetary crimes within
their ranks. A sampling of criminal cases of financial wrongdoing
by churches and temples spotlights the ingenuity involved in such
scams as well as in the ongoing fight against them. Included in the
coverage: • Religious freedom in the U.S. and Brazilian
constitutional orders • Government regulation of religious
organizations • Criminal investigations and cases involving
financial crimes practiced by and through religious institutions
• International religious activities and legal cooperation for
repatriation of assets • Payments through illegal and disguised
means, and the misuse of churches, temples, and charitable
organizations •Proposals to improve the war against financial
crimes within temples and churches Its unique subject matter and
depth of information makes Churches, Temples, and Financial Crimes
distinctly useful for professionals involved in efforts to curb
this form of crime, particularly law enforcement personnel,
prosecutors, and judges.
Half of all marriages end, and, when they do, most parents hope to
achieve a "good divorce" in which they can amicably raise their
children with their former spouse. Unfortunately, about 20% of
divorces are high-conflict, involving frequent visits to court,
allegations of abuse, and chronic disagreements regarding parenting
schedules. In response to this conflict, some children become
aligned with one parent against the other - even a parent who has
done nothing to warrant the hostile rejection of their formerly
loving children. These "targeted" parents suffer from the loss of
time with their children, the pain of watching their children
become distant, even cruel, and the uncertainty of not knowing if
and when their children will come back to them. These parents are
on a painful journey with an uncertain outcome. Surviving Parental
Alienation fills the tremendous need for concrete help for these
parents. Too often parental alienation stories that are shared by
word of mouth, on the internet, or in books depict unending pain
and frightening outcomes. Surviving Parental Alienation provides
true stories and information about parents who have reconnected
with their lost and stolen children, and offers better insight and
understanding into what exactly parental alienation is and how to
handle it. Targeted parents are desperate to be understood and to
find cause for hope, even as they search for answers. Surviving
Parental Alienation is where they can start to find this hope.
