Although child abuse and neglect is a tragic social problem
affecting the lives of many individuals worldwide, the way it is
defined, prevented and treated differs from country to country.
This unique international survey allows readers to identify the
differences and similarities that exist among a variety of cultures
when it comes to defining and preventing the problem. Scholars in
the field have provided qualitative and quantitative data on the
many issues surrounding this universal problem in 16 different
countries chosen to represent all regions of the world. Each
chapter addresses one country and explores the ways in which it
approaches the problem, including: the history of child abuse, how
child abuse is defined, the prevalence of abuse, child protection
and legal actions taken when abuse is suspected, remedial services
available for families and abused children, legal innovations
available for child witnesses/victims of abuse, legislative
reforms, legal ramifications for offenders, and preventative
measures. Readers can choose one or more of these aspects and
compare how each differs from country to country. These
cross-cultural comparisons can help readers identify how each
country's historical perspective and definition of child abuse and
neglect determines how each society identifies, prevents and treats
the issue, why the problem persists, and what might be done to
prevent it worldwide.
For as long as we have been researching human memory, psychologists
have been investigating how people remember and forget. This
research is regularly drawn upon in our legal systems.
Historically, we have relied upon eyewitness memory to help judge
responsibility and adjudicate truth, but memory is malleable, prone
to error, and susceptible to bias. Even confident eyewitnesses make
mistakes, and even accurate witnesses sometimes find their
testimony subjected to harsh scrutiny. Emerging from this
environment, the Cognitive Interview (CI) became a means of
assisting cooperative witnesses with recalling more information
without sacrificing accuracy. First used by police interviewing
adult witnesses, it is now used with many populations in many
contexts, including public health, accident reconstruction, and the
interrogation of terror suspects. Evidence-Based Investigative
Interviewing reviews the application of cognitive research to
investigative interviewing, revealing how principles of cognition,
memory, and social dynamics may increase the accuracy of eyewitness
testimony. It provides evidence-based applications for
investigators beyond the forensic domain in areas such as
eyewitness identification, detecting deception, and interviewing
children. Drawing together the work of thirty-three authors across
both the academic and practice communities, this comprehensive
collection is essential reading for researchers in psychology,
forensics, and disciplines such as epidemiology and gerontology.

The people who shaped America's public broadcasting system
thought it should be "a civilized voice in a civilized community"
-- a clear alternative to commercial broadcasting. This book tells
the story of how NPR has tried to embody this idea. Michael P.
McCauley describes NPR's evolution from virtual obscurity in the
early 1970s, when it was riddled with difficulties -- political
battles, unseasoned leadership, funding problems -- to a first-rate
broadcast organization.
The book draws on a wealth of primary evidence, including
fifty-seven interviews with people who have been central to the NPR
story, and it places the network within the historical context of
the wider U.S. radio industry. Since the late 1970s, NPR has worked
hard to understand the characteristics of its audience. Because of
this, its content is now targeted toward its most loyal listeners
-- highly educated baby-boomers, for the most part -- who help
support their local stations through pledges and fund drives.
