pits and travel through dangerous ice caves to complete their
mission. Along the way they also meet Scrat, a squirrel-rat
determined to plant an acorn in a glacier. Features the voices of
John Leguizamo, Denis Leary and Jack Black.

This handbook promotes a comprehensive strategy founded on
evidence-based programming for juvenile justice systems to adopt or
enhance their current system. The comprehensive strategy is
supported strongly by the broad research base that is now
available. This strategy recognizes, first, that a relatively small
proportion of the juveniles who initially enter the juvenile
justice system will prove to be serious, violent, or chronic
offenders, but that group accounts for a large proportion of the
overall amount of delinquency. An important component of a
comprehensive evidence-based juvenile justice system, therefore, is
distinguishing these offenders from others and focusing attention
and resources on that smaller group. Second, a comprehensive
strategy recognizes that serious, violent, or chronic delinquency
emerges along developmental pathways that progress from less to
more serious profiles of offending. Priority must be given to
interrupting these offender careers by calibrating the level of
supervision and control of the juveniles' behavior to their level
of risk. The third major component of a comprehensive strategy,
therefore, is effective intervention programs that are capable of
reducing the recidivism of those juveniles at risk for further
delinquency. The Comprehensive Strategy for Serious, Violent, and
Chronic Juvenile Offenders is an administrative framework that
supports a continuum of services that parallel the development of
offender careers. This framework emphasizes evidence-based
programming specifically on recidivism reduction, and supports
protocols for developing comprehensive treatment plans that match
effective services with offender treatment needs along the
life-course of delinquent careers, as they move from intake onward,
to probation, community programs, confinement, and reentry.
Juvenile justice systems will benefit from incorporation of a
comprehensive strategy as provided in the handbook.

Concerning sexual behavior in children can be challenging to
understand, difficult to talk about, and hard to manage in school
and community settings. Without a systematic best-practice approach
for addressing these behaviors, communities run the risk of
exposing their children to harm and their organizations to
liability. In this book, Dr. Wilson Kenney, a clinical psychologist
with over 15 years experience treating and assessing kids with
concerning sexual behavior, lays out a comprehensive
school/community based model for identifying and addressing
concerning sexual behavior in children that is based upon
best-practice models for threat assessment. The reader will find
practical and economically sensitive recommendations regarding
school and community supervision, ideas for accessing consultation,
and advice regarding how best to approach these topics with
families. Further, this book contains all the necessary paperwork
and guidance needed to establish a formal school-based process for
addressing concerning sexual behavior in children, regardless of
the size of your community. It is a comprehensive how-to guidebook
for keeping your school and community safe.

In the early 1980s, the welfare state, for too long regarded as a
notable contribution to the establishment of a humane social order,
had over the previous decade come under increasing attack. Some of
its critics, especially in the UK and the USA, maintained that it
had failed to deal satisfactorily with the problem of poverty.
Others held that it was over-elaborate, created a psychology of
dependence and imposed costs that needed to be reduced as part of a
policy of general economic recovery. In a number of countries, cuts
had already been imposed or were now contemplated. In this
situation it was crucially important to direct attention once more
to the basic objectives of the various welfare services from a
systematic and comparative standpoint. Originally published in
1982, the authors of this book, one an economist and the other a
specialist in social administration, subjected these aims to
rigorous analysis and discuss the underlying issues of social
philosophy. They then attempt to assess the various methods adopted
for their attainment in Britain and comment on those adopted in the
USA and in some continental European countries. Although the
authors reject the more extreme assertion that the welfare state
has been a failure, they point to the need to relate some of the
policies followed more clearly to the basic objectives. A number of
proposals for reform are put forward which would imply some change
of emphasis and should permit a simplification of existing
over-complex arrangements.

Graduate nurses are expected to 'hit the ground running', taking on
complex care challenges in a stressful and fast-paced environment.
This comprehensive yet accessible textbook provides expert guidance
for students and commencing nurses on the contexts for their
practice. Part 1 presents a pragmatic insight into the
intersection, tensions and complexities of practice and
professional issues for Australian nurses. It outlines the nature
of nursing roles and professional codes of conduct, national health
priority areas and legal and ethical issues including the growing
use of health informatics. There is an examination of the diverse
career paths available in nursing, a focus on nurses' mental health
and well-being and a special examination of Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander health issues. Part 2 unpacks key issues across a
range of clinical contexts that will be a key resource for clinical
practicums. Contexts covered include acute care, community nursing,
paediatric nursing, mental health nursing and aged care. Part 3
examines the professional and practice issues of nursing in
diverse, distinctive and emergent practice areas including
aesthetic nursing, military nursing and international nursing with
case studies and vignettes highlighting common issues and
challenges. Drawing on the expertise of a wide range of Australian
clinical and academic nursing professionals, this text is a key
reference for all nursing undergraduates seeking to enter
successfully into the profession.
