...Sexually Abused Children Who Exhibit Sexual Behavior Problems: Victimization Characteristics Samantha Chromy, PhD The recognition of sexual behavior problems (SBP) in children has implications for child protection. Research needs to focus on identifying factors that indicate and contribute to the development of SBP. SBP is a common aftereffect of sexual abuse, but not all sexually abused children develop SBP. The child’s experience of abuse is thought to impact the development of SBP. This study used a retrospective chart review of the clinical records of 125 children who received services at a counseling center specializing in sexual abuse concerns. The children who exhibited SBP and those who did not were compared on variables related to their experience of sexual abuse. Analysis showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups on the frequency and the age of onset of abuse. The children who exhibited SBP were abused with more frequency and at a younger age than those who did not. [Brief Treatment and Crisis Intervention 7:25–33 (2007)] KEY WORDS: sexual, abuse, children, behavior, behavior problems, victim. There is increased awareness that childhood sexual abuse is perpetrated not only by adult offenders but also by children (Araji, 1997). Many adult and adolescent offenders began perpetrating or displayed sexual behavior problems (SBP) at young ages (Araji, 1997; Burton, 2000). Data from child protection agencies have indicated that 40% of all childhood...

...Sexual Predation and Pedophilia Smith Aja Professor Chuck Russo RC507 American Military University Introduction Childhood is supposed to be a time of discovery and play, not abuse. Sexual predators have been lurking this planet for decades; now they're being marked for life because of there actions. Neighbors and the home towns of sexual predators are being alerted of their crimes and whereabouts by local police. Such towns have responded by putting up signs in their town, "CHILD MOLESTER TWO DOORS DOWN" (Popkin, pg 73). Others responded by burning or flooding their new neighbors out (Popkin). What did these convicted criminals do to deserve such punishment? They violated the most precious living creature on this planet, a child. Communities definitely have a right to know that a dangerous child molester is moving to their town. Child molesters have been convicted, charged and sentenced for their crimes for many years. Do people really know the people they live by so well, that they would leave their own child with them? Also, if they had a legal right to, would they check out their neighbor's history at the police office, or trust them? In the summer of 1994, seven-year-old Megan Kanka was kidnapped, raped, and then killed by convicted child molester Jesse Timmendequas. The outraged community was never informed that Timmendequas and two other convicted child abusers had moved in across...

...THE CONSEQUENCES OF MASS COMMUNICATION Cultural and Critical Perspectives on Mass Media and Society Kirk Hallahan ii For Jean and Jenna Copyright info to be set by McGraw-Hill. iii Foreward This book is a brief survey of contemporary ideas about the cultural impact of mass media on society. The use of consequences in the title reflects the fact that most cultural researchers prefer this term (instead of media effects) to describe media's influence on human experience. During the past 30 years, culture has emerged as a major theoretical framework in which to investigate media. Chapter I examines how media influence culture generally, as suggested by various contemporary media scholars and others. Chapter II then focuses on critical-cultural theories about the nature of media power and its potentially negative influence. This book can adopted as a supplementary text in introductory mass media courses along with a survey text such as Joseph R. Dominick's The Dynamics of Mass Communication (available from McGraw-Hill). It also can serve as a foundational text for other assigned readings in advanced courses dealing with mass media and society, communication theory, or cultural studies. Students are encouraged to focus thoughtfully on the main ideas, not attempt to merely memorize details. Important concepts and names appear in boldface and are defined in italics. The abridged Subject Index lists the page with the primary discussion of each topic. Sidebars throughout...

...SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS: A CROSS-COUNTRY COMPARISION Research Work International Doctorate in Entrepreneurship and Business Management Department of Business Economics & Administration Author: Elisabet Ferri elisabet.ferri@uab.cat Supervisor: David Urbano david.urbano@uab.cat September 2011 2 ABSTRACT Social entrepreneurship is a subject of growing interest for both academics and governments. However, from the quantitative approach, little is known about the environmental factors that affect this phenomenon. For this reason, the main purpose of the present study is to statistically explore the relationship between environmental factors and social entrepreneurship, as seen through a cross-country comparison and in the light of institutional economics as the conceptual framework. Linear regression analysis is used over a sample of 49 countries to study the impact of formal institutions (public spending, access to finance and governance effectiveness) and informal institutions (social needs, societal attitudes and education) on social entrepreneurial activity. The main findings suggest that, while societal attitudes increase the rates of social entrepreneurship, public spending has a negative relationship with this phenomenon. Contributions of the research are both conceptual, in terms of development in the field of social entrepreneurship from an institutional perspective, and practical, in terms of designing policies to promote social enterprise...

...Social Enterprises as Hybrid Organizations: A Review and Research Agenda* Bob Doherty, Helen Haugh1 and Fergus Lyon2 The York Management School, University of York, Freboys Lane, York YO10 5GD, UK, 1Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, Trumpington Street, Cambridge CB2 1AG, UK, and 2Middlesex University, The Burroughs, London NW4 4BT, UK Corresponding author email: bob.doherty@york.ac.uk The impacts of the global economic crisis of 2008, the intractable problems of persistent poverty and environmental change have focused attention on organizations that combine enterprise with an embedded social purpose. Scholarly interest in social enterprise (SE) has progressed beyond the early focus on definitions and context to investigate their management and performance. From a review of the SE literature, the authors identify hybridity, the pursuit of the dual mission of financial sustainability and social purpose, as the defining characteristic of SEs.They assess the impact of hybridity on the management of the SE mission, financial resource acquisition and human resource mobilization, and present a framework for understanding the tensions and trade-offs resulting from hybridity. By examining the influence of dual mission and conflicting institutional logics on SE management the authors suggest future research directions for theory development for SE and hybrid organizations more generally. Introduction The phenomenon of social enterprise (SE) has attracted...
