This book is an in-depth look at the experiences of the former head of the Pentagon's Office of Inspector General-the most expansive IG organization in the world-from 2002-2005. The Handbook is designed not only for teaching and training professionals assigned to Offices of Inspector General throughout the US federal and state governments, but also for the benefit of government and corporate leaders who will need, sooner or later, to deal intelligently with an IG. "Important reading for every inspector general."-DONALD RUMSFELD Secretary of Defense of the United States, 1975-1977 and 2001-2006 "Nobody knows the history, traditions, and functions of an Inspector General better than Joe Schmitz. The Inspector General Handbook is a practical guide for anyone working within an IG office who wants to serve in a constitutionally sound role as part of the leadership team. The IG in any organization should detect organizational performance problems early, and should enable rapid responses so that systemic problems can be addressed before they spread further or cause irreversible damage. This first-ever IG Handbook sheds light on an area of American government that is often misunderstood, frequently maligned, and yet indispensable to the functioning of our republic. This book is a 'must read' for all government leaders and for every lawyer who needs to know by what authority and for what purposes an Inspector General serves 'We the People' of these United States." -JOHN ASHCROFT former U.S. Senator and Attorney General of the United States, 2001-2005 "The office of Inspector General can seem highly problematic, located within each executive department but reporting not only to the head of the department but also to Congress and, through Congress, to the public. Schmitz carefully examines the nature of the institution, and demystifies it while at the same time promoting respect for it. The Inspector General Handbook is a work of lasting value." -MICHAEL B. MUKASEY Attorney General of the United States, 2007-2009, and U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York, 1988- 2006 "Joe Schmitz' Handbook delivers a previously missing link in the understanding of post-9/11 law enforcement professionals who take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Of all public sector professionals, Inspectors General should be transparent; the American People ought never to wonder why an IG does what he or she does. And with Joe's Inspector General Handbook, that transparency is now achieved." -LOUIS J. FREEH Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, 1993-2001

Recent decades have drawn more attention to the United States' treatment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Few people realize, however, the extent of the country's relocation, internment, and repatriation of German and Italian Americans, who were interned in greater numbers than Japanese Americans. The United States also assisted other countries, especially in Latin America, in expelling "dangerous" aliens, primarily Germans. In Enemies among Us John E. Schmitz examines the causes, conditions, and consequences of America's selective relocation and internment of its own citizens and enemy aliens, as well as the effects of internment on those who experienced it. Looking at German, Italian, and Japanese Americans, Schmitz analyzes the similarities in the U.S. government's procedures for those they perceived to be domestic and hemispheric threats, revealing the consistencies in the government's treatment of these groups, regardless of race. Reframing wartime relocation and internment through a broader chronological perspective and considering policies in the wider Western Hemisphere, Enemies among Us provides new conclusions as to why the United States relocated, interned, and repatriated both aliens and citizens considered enemies.

Der Schwangerschaftsabbruch stellt die lteste und universalste Form der Verh tung unerw nschter Geburten dar. Er kann als Vorfahre der inzwischen zahlreichen Techniken und Methoden der Reproduktionsmedizin angesehen werden. In den vergangenen Jahren hat die Abtreibung zahlreiche kontroverse Diskussionen ausgel st. Gleichzeitig wurde sich seitens verschiedener Interessensgruppen dieses Themas bem chtigt, um religi sen berzeugungen und ethische Grundeinstellungen zu verbreiten. Die Psychologie des Schwangerschaftsabbruchs ist eng mit religi sen berzeugungen und ethischen Grundeinstellungen verkn pft, sodass die Betrachtung dieses Themas vor einem spezifischen kulturellen Hintergrund besonders angebracht ist. Vor allem die selektive Abtreibung weiblicher Feten f llt ins Auge und verlangt nach eingehender Auseinandersetzung unter psychologischer Perspektive. Die vorliegende Studie konzentriert sich auf den indischen Kulturraum. Der aktuelle Forschungsstand aus den Jahren von 1980 bis 2006 wurde mit dem Ziel einer Darstellung und kritischer W rdigung betrachtet. Dabei soll deutlich werden, welche Beachtung der Schwangerschaftsabbruch in Indien erh lt und in welchen Zusammenh ngen Schwangerschaftsabbr che in Indien erlebt und behandelt werden. Bestehende Tendenzen und m gliche L cken im bisherigen Forschungsgeschehen werden f r zuk nftige Untersuchungen auf diesem Gebiet aufgezeigt.
