This edited collection examines women's roles in the academy.
Statistics show that women outnumber men in most universities and
that women's pay still lags behind men's, but the numbers only hint
at the broader story. This edited collection fills that gap with
the stories of twelve women-from part-time faculty to college
presidents-who answer key questions such as why they pursued a
career in the academy and how they handled childcare issues and
sexism in the workplace. Advice, encouragement, and caution are
offered to guide those considering a career in the academy and
those already in academe who are wondering about their options.
This book is recommended for burgeoning female scholars and for
established scholars of any gender in women's studies, gender
studies, higher education, and communication studies.
This study integrates social science research, social policy, and legal analysis related to children and the law. It provides the most cutting-edge information available on topics such as child abuse, children's eyewitness testimony, divorce and custody, juvenile crime, and children's rights. The volume is an important resource for researchers, attorneys, judges, policy makers, legislators, and mental health, social service, and police professionals.
Child witnesses pose unique challenges to the legal system, and
courtrooms are daunting and alien to children. Timely and truly
international in scope, this volume focuses on the techniques and
procedures used to accommodate child witnesses in legal systems in
countries around the world and on the research investigating the
effectiveness and implications of those techniques. Featuring the
work of renowned scholars from the international psycholegal
community, International Perspectives on Child Abuse and Children's
Testimony not only provides support for all countries seeking to
broaden their approach to child psychology and law but also
promotes justice where child protection is virtually unknown.
Special emphasis is given to techniques currently in use and under
investigation in the United States as well as the U.S.
applicability of techniques and procedures used in other countries.
At a time when issues surrounding children's testimony are under
close scrutiny, International Perspectives on Child Abuse and
Children's Testimony provides outstanding findings and guidelines
for researchers and practitioners in psychology, medicine,
criminology/law, social policy, and social work as well as advanced
students in these and related fields.

Grounded in the latest clinical and developmental knowledge, this
book brings together leading authorities to examine the critical
issues that arise when children and adolescents become involved in
the justice system. Chapters explore young people's capacities,
competencies, and special vulnerabilities as victims, witnesses,
and defendants. Key topics include the reliability of children's
abuse disclosures, eyewitness testimony, interviews, and
confessions; the evolving role of the expert witness; the
psychological impact of trauma and of legal involvement; factors
that shape jurors' perceptions of children; and what works in
rehabilitating juvenile offenders. Policies and practices that are
not supported by science are identified, and approaches to
improving them are discussed.
