A unique interdisciplinary exploration of a pressing social issue
The numbers of women offenders involved in the correctional system
are quickly growing. Drugs, Women, and Justice: Roles of the
Criminal Justice System for Drug-Affected Women gathers a
distinguished group of researchers and policy analysts into one
volume to explore the broad social and individual implications of
current policy and practice pertaining to women in the criminal
justice system. This valuable resource provides readers with a
superb overview of the current state of knowledge and provides
recommendations for new directions. Each top-notch chapter was
originally presented at the 2005 Drugs, Women, and Justice
Symposium, held on the University of Illinois at Chicago campus and
sponsored by the Jane Addams College of Social Work Substance Abuse
Research Collaboration through a grant from the National Institute
on Drug Abuse. Traditionally, criminal justice studies and
rehabilitation programs have focused on male offenders. Recent
studies reinforce the current evidence that females should have
their needs addressed differently. This unique book presents the
latest research and thinking in complex and still emerging areas of
policy and treatment for women in the criminal justice system.
Topics in Drugs, Women, and Justice: Roles of the Criminal Justice
System for Drug-Affected Women include: characteristics of
drug-involved women in the criminal justice system the negative
impact on families of punitive drug laws and child welfare
legislation assessing and managing the service needs of children
whose mothers have been arrested influences of feelings of
isolation on the course of rehabilitation demographic differences
between women in drug treatment and drug-involved women in the
criminal justice system service needs of women released from prison
a program developed for women who have survived traumatic violence,
working in the street economy, and the criminal justice system the
direct and indirect impact of mass incarceration on women and more
Drugs, Women, and Justice: Roles of the Criminal Justice System for
Drug-Affected Women is essential reading for researchers,
criminologists, sociologists, social workers, psychologists,
clinicians, feminists, and policymakers in the areas of social
welfare, criminal justice, and drug policy.

This list assembles a selected group of approximately 1000 books
and journals currently available in the field of education, mostly
published in the late 1980s. All works are in English and almost
all are American. American government documents and monographs
published by UNESCO have also been included. Although the majority
of entries are individual monographs and journal titles, some
multi-volume standard sources have been included, as have been such
traditional reference works as directories, encyclopaedias and
bibliographies. For certain subject areas, specific types of
resources were included; for example, collections of conference
papers are peculiar to comparative education because the
international scope of the discipline results in the sharing of
information in conference settings. In special education,
handbook-type materials are included; in educational research and
statistics, textbooks are features. In educational reform,
commissioned reports and publications from professional
organizations are prevalent. A balance of perspectives was
attempted whenever suitable materials were available. Educational
materials with radical, conservative and moderate viewpoints were
annotated if they fell within the criteria for inclusion. In
general, materials pertaining to children's literature were
excluded since this subject is covered in other resources.
This book defines over 3,000 terms from the field of education to
assist those charged with teaching students to become global
citizens in a rapidly changing, technological society. John W.
Collins and Nancy Patricia O'Brien, coeditors of the first edition
of The Greenwood Dictionary of Education published in 2003, have
acknowledged and addressed these shifts. This revised second
edition supplements the extensive content of the first through
greater focus on subjects such as neurosciences in educational
behavior, gaming strategies as a learning technique, social
networking, and distance education. Terms have been revised, where
necessary, to represent changes in educational practice and theory.
The Dictionary's focus is on current and evolving terminology
specific to the broad field of education, although terms from
closely related fields used in the context of education are also
included. Encompassing the history of education as well as its
future trends, the updated second edition will aid in the
understanding and use of terms as they apply to contemporary
educational research, practice, and theory. 3,050 A-Z entries,
including over 400 new and revised definitions 128 contributors
from a variety of specialized areas related to education Three
tables and graphs to illustrate specific aspects of mathematics and
evaluation in education An introduction on education terminology by
editors John W. Collins and Nancy Patricia O'Brien, distinguished
librarians in the study of education Author attributions for each
definition An extensive, updated bibliography of sources that

This is an essential reference tool for professionals involved
in the measurement of human performance and abilities through
construction of formally designed instruments. O'Brien . . . has
compiled the bibliography to emphasize test construction and item
construction as they affect the various disciplines. Issues of test
bias, validity, and reliability are related specificallly to the
process of test construction. This immensely useful bibliography
contains 2,759 citations arranged under headings of test
construction, fine arts, foreign languages, intelligence,
mathematics, miscellaneous, milti-aptitude batteries, personality,
reading, science, sensory motor, social studies, speech and
hearing, and vocations. "Journal of Psychology and Theology"
Measurement of human performance and ability through formal
testing reaches into nearly every area of modern life, and a great
deal of research continues to be devoted to improving testing
methods. While there is no scarcity of bibliographies of testing
materials, a comprehensive resource on test construction and design
has been lacking. This new reference is designed to fill that gap.
Bringing together materials on a wide range of areas, it provides
more than 2,700 classified listings on the development, design, and
construction of specific tests as well a general test construction,
its rationales, and the pitfalls involved.
Focusing on English-language publications of the last decade, this
guide identifies and describes key reference and information
sources in the field of education today. In addition to general
reference sources O'Brien covers major social science reference
sources that have a direct or overlapping relationship to
education. Nearly 500 entries are arranged by subject and type of
work. Most are new to this work. For example, there are now a
number of Internet sources with URL addresses and an increased
number of journals, which reflects the increasing reliance on
periodicals as information sources. The book has also been
completely reorganized, with new chapters covering "Educational
Technology and Media"; "Multilingual and Multicultural Education";
"Adult Alternative, Continuing and Distance Education";
"Curriculum, Instruction, and Content areas"; "Educational
Research, Measurement, and Testing"; and so forth. Excluded are
lists of education associations and organizations, general social
science refe
The Pacific Muse offers a fresh perspective on a seductively
familiar topic: the colonial stereotype of the exotic Pacific
island woman. By tracing the evolution of female primitivism from
Western antiquity to twentieth-century Hollywood images, the book
sheds new light on our understanding of how and why this ideal has
persisted and the major role it has played in the colonization of
Pacific peoples. While examining colonial culture in its many
manifestations, from art, literature, and film to the journals of
explorers and missionaries, O'Brien rereads not only the canonical
texts of Pacific imperialism, but also lesser-known remnants of
this cultural heritage with an eye to what they reveal about
gender, sexuality, race, and femininity. Over its long history -
from the famous (and much romanticized) settlement of Tahitian
women and mutineers from the Bounty on Pitcairn Island in 1789 to
the South Seas romantic tradition, Gauguin, and beach culture -
notions of female primitivism changed in response to the
ideological watersheds of Christianity, Enlightenment science, and
race theories, as well as the development of democratic
nation-states, modernity, and colonialism. The Pacific Muse shows
the continuities and differences in representing colonized women
across geographical regions and historical epochs and highlights
the importance of sexualization and feminization in imperial
enterprises. Including 37 illustrations of Pacific women from early
etchings by shipboard artists to recent photographs, this panoramic
view of gendered Pacific history is enlightening reading for
cultural anthropologists, women's and gender studies scholars, and
historians of colonialism and the Pacific.
Patricia O'Brien traces the creation and development of a modern
prison system in nineteenth-century France. The study has three
principal areas of concern: prisons and their populations; the
organizing principles of the system, including occupational and
educational programs for rehabilitation; and the extension of
punishment outside the prison walls.

The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these
important books while presenting them in durable paperback
editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly
increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the
thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since
its founding in 1905.
With violent policing, inhumane detention and imprisonment,
community surveillance and loss of civil rights, the criminal legal
system is unjust; and it is crucial for social workers to
understand and take steps toward change. Under the guise of helping
adults in multiple correctional contexts, social workers have
historically engaged in efforts that privilege the carceral system
and reproduce its harmful apparatus that extends to families and
communities. Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practice and the Carceral
State plots a path to change by using an anti-oppressive and
transformative approach. Patricia O'Brien and Judith S. Willison
critically examine strategies to shift punishment-centered
practices to build collaborative partnerships and possibilities
toward decarceration and individual and community power.

This new edition continues to include considerable coverage of
accounting standards oriented to 2018 IASB standards as well as
major U.S. accounting standards. While the text discussion
concentrates on relating standards to the theoretical framework of
the book, the coverage provides students with exposure to the
contents of the standards themselves. Despite its theoretical
orientation, Financial Accounting Theory, 8/e does not ignore the
institutional structure of financial accounting and
standard-setting. It features considerable coverage and critical
evaluation of financial accounting standards and regulations, such
as fair value accounting, financial instruments, reserve
recognition accounting, management discussion and analysis,
employee stock options, impairment tests, hedge accounting,
derecognition, consolidation, and comprehensive income. The
structure of standard-setting bodies is also described, and the
role of structure in helping to engineer the consent necessary for
a successful standard is evaluated.
Medical Terminology Crossword Puzzles, Volume 1, is designed to
help sharpen skills and facilitate learning for students in the
healthcare field. It is divided into principal areas of study and
each puzzle is organized to focus on main terms associated with
each area of concentration.
From childhood, Susan Gray and her cousin Louisa May Alcott have
shared a safe, insular world of outdoor adventures and grand
amateur theater -- a world that begins to evaporate with the
outbreak of the Civil War. Frustrated with sewing uniforms and
wrapping bandages, the two women journey to Washington, D.C.'s
Union Hospital to volunteer as nurses. Nothing has prepared them
for the horrors of this grueling experience. There they meet the
remarkable Clara Barton -- the legendary Angel of the Battlefield
-- and she becomes their idol and mentor. Soon one wounded soldier
begins to captivate and puzzle them all -- a man who claims to be a
blacksmith, but whose appearance and sharp intelligence suggest he
might not be who he says he is. Through the Civil War and its
chaotic aftermath to the apex of Louisa's fame as the author of
Little Women and Lincoln's appointment of Clara to the job of
finding and naming the war's missing and dead, this novel is
ultimately the story of friendship between women -- women who broke
the mold society set for them, while still reckoning with betrayal,
love, and forgiveness.
League of Nations offers new perspectives on the history, legacies
and impact of the League of Nations. The essays in this collection
demonstrate how vastly diverse topics from film, education,
Christian youth movements, colonial rule in the Pacific islands,
national economic analyses, disarmament, humanitarianism and
refugees as well as international relations, national sovereignty
and domestic League of Nations associations, all led to Geneva. As
well as the shared connection with Geneva and the League, the
chapters are temporally aligned within the twenty-five-year
lifespan of the League, from 1920 to 1946. Together the book
revitalises the history of the League, and deepens understandings
of how its 'many organs' operated and impacted on far-flung parts
of the globe, simultaneously crossing borders and scholarly
boundaries.
