psychological development and it can create changes on all levels

includes essays by internationally renowned academics from a range
of disciplines including social psychology, international relations
and child development.
Now in its second edition, Cybercrime: Key Issues and Debates
provides a valuable overview of this fast-paced and growing area of
law. As technology develops and internet-enabled devices become
ever more prevalent, new opportunities exist for that technology to
be exploited by criminals. One result of this is that cybercrime is
increasingly recognised as a distinct branch of criminal law. The
book offers readers a thematic and critical overview of cybercrime,
introducing the key principles and clearly showing the connections
between topics as well as highlighting areas subject to debate.
Written with an emphasis on the law in the UK but considering in
detail the Council of Europe's important Convention on Cybercrime,
this text also covers the jurisdictional aspects of cybercrime in
international law. Themes discussed include crimes against
computers, property, offensive content, and offences against the
person, and, new to this edition, cybercrime investigation. Clear,
concise and critical, this book is designed for students studying
cybercrime for the first time, enabling them to get to grips with
an area of rapid change.
Child Pornography: Law and Policy draws on interdisciplinary work
in order to critically address the law relating to child
pornography. Child pornography is recognized as a specific form of
child abuse and there are now many national, and international,
efforts to tackle it. Yet despite these efforts, the volume of
child pornography, particularly on the internet, is increasing. The
law has reacted to this situation by adapting its definitions,
increasing sentences and providing new powers to law enforcement.
It is, however, unclear how far the law should extend. What should
the relationship be between criminalization and free-speech? Is
there a link between the "use" of child pornography and contact
offending? The issue of child pornography has been the subject of
considerable literature in the areas of psychology, sociology and
psychiatry. These studies provide the basis for a greater
understanding of the nature of child pornography, as well as the
profiles and behaviour of those who access or produce such
material. Child Pornography: Law and Policy brings this wider
literature to bear on the legal and policy frameworks relating to
child pornography, questioning both the appropriateness and the
effectiveness of the law in this context.
The crisis of western civilization is a crisis of public
philosophy. This is the charge of Public Philosophy and Political
Science, a stunning new collection of essays edited by E. Robert
Statham Jr. Vividly cataloging the decay of the moral and
intellectual foundations of civic liberty, the book portrays a
generation of Americans alienated from institutions built on public
philosophy. The work exposes the failure of America's political
scientists to acknowledge and understand this alarming crisis in
the American body politic. The distinguished contributors examine
the evolution of public philosophy; the inextricable relationship
between politics and philosophy; and the interplay between public
philosophy, the constitution, natural law, and government. They
reveal the dire threat to deliberative democracy and the
fundamental order of constitutional society posed by public
philosophy's waning power to refine, cultivate, and civilize. The
work is an indictment of a society which has discarded a way of
life rooted in natural law, democracy and the traditions of
civility; and is a denunciation of an educated elite that has
divorced itself from the standards upon which public philosophy
rests. It is essential reading for philosophers and political and
social scientists seeking to resurrect the standards of American
public life.

This book provides background to the current debate on health policy by studying the political conflict over it in Australia from 1910 to 1960. It looks at both state and national levels to identify the main structures and forces that shaped the system of publicly-subsidized private practice, which is now most obvious in the fee-for-service scheme.
No area of social welfare in Australia has seen as much conflict as
health policy. Clashes have involved the medical profession,
bureaucrats, friendly societies and political parties, often to the
detriment of the patient. This 1991 book provides background to the
current debate by studying the political conflict over health
policy in Australia from 1910-60. It looks at both state and
national levels for the origins of the system of publicly
subsidized private practice epitomized in the fee-for-service
scheme. The different currents within state policy are analysed
along with the various obstructions to the development of the
national health insurance policy. The role of the British Medical
Association, which in its indigenous form continues to have a
hostile relationship with the government because of its
determination to maintain its independence and fee-for-service
practices, is closely examined. The Price of Health will be of
particular interest to health policy makers.
From personal finance and consumer spending to ballooning
national expenditures on warfare and social welfare, debt is
fundamental to the dynamics of global capitalism. The contributors
to this volume explore the concept of indebtedness in its various
senses and from a wide range of perspectives. They observe that
many views of ethics, citizenship, and governance are based on a
conception of debts owed by one individual to others; that artistic
and literary creativity involves the artist s dialogue with the
works of the past; and that the specter of catastrophic climate
change has underscored the debt those living in the present owe to
future generations."

New perspectives on the history of twentieth century public health
in Europe. European public health was a playing field for deeply
contradictory impulses throughout the twentieth century. In the
1920s, international agencies were established with great fanfare
and postwar optimism to serve as the watchtower of health the world
over. Within less than a decade, local-level institutions began to
emerge as seats of innovation, initiative, and expertise. But there
was continual counterpressure from nation-states that jealously
guarded their policymaking prerogatives in the face of the push for
cross-national standardization and the emergence of original
initiatives from below. In contrast to histories of
twentieth-century public health that focus exclusively on the
local, national, or international levels, Shifting Boundaries
explores the connections or "zones of contact" between the three
levels. The interpretive essays, written by distinguished
historians of public health and medicine, focus on four topics: the
oscillation between governmental and nongovernmental agencies as
sites of responsibility for addressing public health problems; the
harmonization of nation-states' agendas with those of international
agencies; the development by public health experts of knowledge
that is both placeless and respectful of place; and the
transportability of model solutions across borders. The volume
breaks new ground in its treatment ofpublic health as a political
endeavor by highlighting strategies to prevent or alleviate disease
as a matter not simply of medical techniques but political values
and commitments. Contributors: Peter Baldwin, Iris Borowy, James A.
