Economic inequality affects everybody. No matter how rich or poor
you are, economic inequality impacts every aspect of your
lifeāthe place where you live, the opportunities you experience,
the healthcare you get, the education you receive. More Than Money
breaks down why the rich seem to be getting richer while the rest
of us are struggling to just get by.Ā With vivid, energetic
illustrations, the use of graphs and charts, and tips for how to
investigate topics of interest, readers learn the most important
issues and ideas in economics to better understand the consequences
of inequality.
Good communication is an essential part of delivering effective
nursing care. Nursing students work in a variety of multicultural
settings and therefore it is imperative that they fully understand
their own cultural context and that of others. This text
illustrates the important differences between cultures and how
these differences can enhance practical nursing. Through the
comprehensive use of case studies and interactive exercises, the
book invites students to reflect on their own knowledge and skills
about culture so that they can learn to communicate in a more
effective and culturally sensitive way. All theory is applied to
nursing practice to demonstrate how situations can arise and be
dealt with appropriately whilst working on clinical placement. This
text is written for students studying the CFP at Year 1.
Communication will be studied either as part of a Professional
Issues module, or Nursing Practice.
This book provides the first empirical analysis of lone-actor
terrorist behaviour. Based upon a unique dataset of 111 lone actors
that catalogues the life span of the individual's development, the
book contains important insights into what an analysis of their
behaviours might imply for practical interventions aimed at
disrupting or even preventing attacks. It adopts insights and
methodologies from criminology and forensic psychology to provide a
holistic analysis of the behavioural underpinnings of lone-actor
terrorism. By focusing upon the behavioural aspects of each
offender and by analysing a variety of case studies, including
Anders Breivik, Ted Kaczynski, Timothy McVeigh and David Copeland,
this work marks a pointed departure from previous research in the
field. It seeks to answer the following key questions: Is there a
lone-actor terrorist profile and how do they differ? What
behaviours did the lone-actor terrorist engage in prior to his/her
attack and is there a common behavioural trajectory into lone-actor
terrorism? How 'lone' do lone-actor terrorists tend to be? What
role, if any, does the internet play? What role, if any, does
mental illness play? This book will be of much interest to students
of terrorism/counter-terrorism studies, political violence,
criminology, forensic psychology and security studies in general.
At Easter of 1916 an armed insurrection, launched by paramilitary
republicans, took place in Ireland. When the General Post Office in
Dublin was seized on Easter Monday, the rebels declared a free
Irish Republic, independent from Great Britain. In the century that
has passed since the Easter Rising, each generation of Irish
republicans has mounted their own paramilitary campaign to bring
about an independent united Ireland, from the War of Independence,
to The Troubles, and right up to the modern-day dissident
republican violence. By bringing together a range of researchers,
from across a variety of academic disciplines, this edited volume
analyses the one hundred years of Irish republican violence from
1916 to 2016. The assembled authors assess the evolution of
paramilitary violence through a variety of themes, including the
IRA from 1919-21, the case of 'the Disappeared', the relationship
between counterterrorism killings and Provisional IRA bombings, and
the analysis of modern-day violent dissident republican statements.
Bringing the volume to a close are two long-form interviews with
two key actors within the Troubles, Danny Morrison and Billy
Hutchinson. In these interviews they discuss their own perspective
on one hundred years of Irish republican paramilitary violence.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Terrorism
and Political Violence.

Lone-actor terrorism has unfortunately been on the rise in recent
decades, causing major adverse societal effects in the United
States and abroad. While lone-actor terrorists can be driven by a
range of identifiable factors such as extremist views or
availability of weapons, the process of becoming and identifying
these individuals is deeply complicated. Lone-Actor Terrorism: An
Integrated Framework outlines the societal causes and impacts of
lone-actor terrorism from a multi-disciplinary, international
perspective. Drawing together seasoned insights across clinical and
forensic mental health, sociology, criminology, law, military and
intelligence, and security, this volume explores patterns common to
lone-actor terrorists across four major sections: historical and
case examples, clinical aspects, non-clinical professional and
allied perspectives, and assessment and potential approaches to
reducing the risk of lone-actor terrorism. Contributors describe
both individual clinical factors affecting lone-actors, including
developmental aspects, mental health variables, psychoactive drugs,
psychometrics and linguists, along with broader social factors such
as propaganda and rhetoric, social media, and geographical
considerations. This volume concludes with a review of the
available threat and risk assessment tools applicable to lone-actor
terrorism cases and provides guidance for professionals seeking to
reduce risk. While there is no uniform approach to the concept of
lone-actor terrorism, this edited volume provides a diverse yet
authoritative overview for those interested in better understanding
the threats of lone-actor terrorism and its professional response.

How does a holy God associate with paedophiles, murderers, drug
addicts, alcoholics and others rejected by mainstream society? This
book is a product of many years working with and in some cases
befriending the most despised people in society, prisoners. It
addresses questions such as: Why do some people end up in prison?
Do they just wake up one morning and think: `I am going to rob a
bank today'? What happens when they get to prison? How do they cope
with the violence? Is rehabilitation a realistic expectation? How
can victims of crime be helped and supported?
