Every year, there are advances in the way that we deal with
information as individuals, governments, and organizations. We live
and work predominantly online resulting in an enormous amount of
digital data. The way that information is used is constantly
changing with individuals, governments, and corporations all
involved in collecting, storing, using, disclosing, and
transferring information online. The growth in artificial
intelligence and its effects on data will impact all individuals.
It is imperative that a greater understanding of these new advances
is gained, in particular, the legal implications they have for
society. Legal Regulations, Implications, and Issues Surrounding
Digital Data is an essential research publication that assists
readers in understanding the current technology they are using, how
digital data is being used by governments and organizations, and
the current legal issues surrounding these areas that set out
challenges in everyday life. Highlighting topics such as data
protection, cybercrime, and privacy, this book is ideal for
lawyers, academicians, IT specialists, policymakers, cybersecurity
professionals, law professionals, researchers, academicians, and
students.
Although research on aggressive men and boys has been plentiful,
much less attention has been directed toward aggression in girls
and women. The increasing number of young women who find themselves
living violent lives, both as perpetrators and victims, has led to
urgent calls for more information on understanding what causes,
what perpetuates and what can be done about this problem.
Addressing this need, Girls and Aggression presents a range of
interdisciplinary perspectives on risk and protective factors,
developmental pathways and intervention principles specific to the
problem of aggression and violence in the lives of young women.
Contributions come from the fields of psychology, criminology,
education, and sociology, and use both qualitative and quantitative
methodologies to explore the issues. Girls and Aggression will be
of interest to academic researchers and mental health practitioners
alike by providing an up-to-date and comprehensive view of this
important and underexplored area.
Originally published in 1984. The history of sex in the last 100
years has usually been written as a story of progress from
repression to sexual liberation. This book argues that the reverse
is true, demonstrating that the 'sexual revolution' came as a
backlash to a women's movement which challenged men's sexual abuse
and tried to reconstruct male sexuality in women's interest. At
first it looks at those groups at the turn of the twentieth century
who campaigned to challenge prevailing ideas about sexual
behaviour. It moves on to review the work of the most influential
sexologists Ellis, Kinsey, Masters and Johnson, and then presents a
critical analysis of the sex magazine Forum.

During the last twenty years feminist research into the history of
sexuality has made important contributions to the theoretical
understanding of the relationship between sexuality and male power.
When sexology became established as a science, feminists had for
many years been engaged in a struggle to change male sexuality, by
waging campaigns against male sexual violence and abuse of women
and children; by challenging the institutions of marriage and
prostitution; and by asserting in theory and in practice the right
to female sexual autonomy. Despite the excellent research published
in this important and fascinating aspect of feminist history, there
are still gaps in our knowledge.; "The Real Facts of Life" aims to
fill these gaps: Why and when did sexuality become an important
political issue for the 19th century feminist?; What was the
history of campaigns against double standards of sexual morality?;
Why were feminists so divided in their views about sexual freedom
and its relationship to women's emancipation? The analysis of these
issues illuminates past and present feminists' ideas and theories
about sexuality. Margaret Jackson's main aims in "The Real Facts of
Life" are to make a contribution towards understanding the history
of the struggle for female sexual autonomy; to provide a
revolutionary feminist analysis of the social construction of
sexuality and its relationship to male power, and to provide a
critique of sexology and the male-defined concept of sexual
"liberation."

- Represents both sides of the problem of violence in the lives of
girls - girls as victims of violence; and girls as perpetrators of
violence. To fully understand the problem of violence it is
essential to consider both sides of the 'violence coin'. - Provides
perspectives from multiple disciplines using both quantitative and
qualitative methodologies thereby providing a fuller understanding
of the issues. - Provides a bridge from research on causal factors
and developmental course to research on intervention.
New applications of horizontal drilling techniques and hydraulic
fracturing, in which water, sand, and chemical additives are
injected under high pressure to create and maintain fractures in
underground formations, allow oil and natural gas from shale
formations to be developed. As exploration and development of shale
oil and gas have increased, including in areas of the country
without a history of oil and natural gas development, questions
have been raised about the estimates of the size of these
resources, as well as the processes used to extract them. This book
examines the environmental and public health requirements, risks,
and size of shale resources of unconventional oil and gas
development.
Cyberbullying is a problem that is being increasingly investigated
by researchers, however, much of the cyberbullying research
literature to date has focused on children and youth. Cyberbullying
at University in International Contexts fills the gap in the
research literature by examining the nature, extent, impacts,
proposed solutions, and policy and practice considerations of
bullying in the cyber-world at post-secondary institutions, where
reports of serious cyberbullying incidents have become more
prevalent. This book brings together cutting-edge research from
around the world to examine the issue of cyberbullying through a
multi-disciplinary lens, offering an array of approaches,
interpretations, and solutions. It is not solely focused on
cyberbullying by and against students, but also includes
cyberbullying by and against faculty members, and permutations
involving both students and faculty, as well as institutional
staff, presenting perspectives from students, practitioners and
senior university policy makers. It draws on research from
education, criminology, psychology, sociology, communications, law,
health sciences, social work, humanities, labour studies and is
valuable reading for graduate students in these fields. It is also
essential reading for policymakers, practitioners and University
administrators who recognize their responsibility to provide a
healthy workplace for their staff, as well as a safe and respectful
environment for their students.
