Globally, rates of sexual violence remain unacceptably high, with disproportionate effects on women and girls. While most scholars and practitioners uniformly concur about the scope of the problem, there is currently little agreement about how to prevent sexual violence before it occurs.Drawing on diverse disciplines such as criminology, education, health promotion, law, psychology, social work, socio-legal studies, sociology and women's studies, this book provides the first interdisciplinary collectionon the primary prevention of sexual violence. The volume addresses the key causes or determinants of sexual violence, including cultural attitudes, values, beliefs and norms, as well as systemic gender-based inequalities that create the conditions underlying much violence against women. Including contributions from internationally renowned experts in the field, the volume critically investigates the theoretical underpinnings of prevention work, describing and analysing the limits and possibilities of primary prevention strategies 'on the ground'. The chapters collectively examine the role that structural violence and gender inequality play in fostering a 'culture' of sexual violence, and reflect on the relationship between macro and micro levels for understanding both sexual violence perpetration and prevention.This book will be a key resource for scholars, practitioners and policymakers involved in the fields of sexual violence prevention, education, law, family violence, and child sexual abuse.Including contributions from Victoria L. Banyard (University of New Hampshire, USA), Alison Cares (Assumption College, USA), Moira Carmody (University of Western Sydney, Australia), Gillian Fletcher (La Trobe Univeristy, Australia), Wendy Larcombe (University of Melbourne, Australia), Claire Maxwell (University of London, UK), Mary M.

It brings together, for the first time, the activities of different educators and pressure groups, operating locally, nationally and internationally, over a period of 47 years. Who were these activists? What ideological and organisational resources did they draw on? What proposals did they make? And how did others respond to their views? Secularist activists represented a minority, but offered a recurrent challenge to majority views and shaped ongoing educational debates. They achieved some, albeit limited, influence on policy and practice. They were divided among themselves and by 1944 had failed to supplant majority views. But, with the place of religious and secular ideals in schools remaining a subject of debate, this analysis has resonance today. |Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/499d2a8b/morality-and-citizenship-in-english-schools-susannah-wright-9781137399434.jpg|9781137399434|Morality and Citizenship in English Schools : Hardback : Palgrave Macmillan : 9781137399434 : 19 Dec 2016 : This book sheds new light on early twentieth-century secularism by examining campaigns to challenge dominant Christian approaches to the teachi ...|new|1|1|999|64.99|0|GBP|Susannah Wright|Palgrave Macmillan|19 Dec 2016|Schools 9781137397713|The Political Economy of Investment in Syria|69.99|https://wordery.com/the-political-economy-of-investment-in-syria-linda-matar-9781137397713|Linda Matar examines Syria's failure to promote employment-generating investment prior to the uprising. Tackling the thorny issue of the inapplicability of modern investment theory to a developing country, she situates the analysis of investment in Syria in its historical context and examines the socioeconomic structure and political preconditions that set the course of capital accumulation. Matar argues that the class in charge of development, which oversaw the allocation of resources during the Hafiz and Bashar Assad regimes, precipitated a crisis of capital accumulation. Difficult-to-access data and information compiled from fieldwork reveal how neoliberal reforms failed to build productive capacity and instead enriched a few through short-term speculative and mercantile ventures. Productive investment in Syria prior to the uprising lurched downward, and the key related socio-economic variables followed. These deteriorating conditions contributed to the social explosion in 2011. Exploring the poor quality and quantity of investment, this study probes how the cant of the free market served as a veneer behind which the institutional decisions distorted income distribution in a way that would inevitably lead to collapse.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/e85d9c1c/the-political-economy-of-investment-in-syria-linda-matar-9781137397713.jpg|9781137397713|The Political Economy of Investment in Syria : Hardback : Palgrave Macmillan : 9781137397713 : 06 Jan 2016 : Linda Matar examines Syria's failure to promote employment-generating investment prior to the uprising.|new|1|1|999|64.99|0|GBP|Linda Matar|Palgrave Macmillan|06 Jan 2016|Political economy 9781137393838|Learning with the Labyrinth|36.99|https://wordery.com/learning-with-the-labyrinth-jan-sellers-9781137393838|This book discusses the theory and practice of labyrinth creation and use.
