Unsere Gesellschaft zeichnet sich durch eine Vielfalt an Lebensformen und -stilen, von weltanschaulichen Orientierungen sowie ethnischen Herkünften aus. Zugleich lassen sich Gruppenbildungen und Identitäten erkennen, welche diese Pluralität mehr oder weniger gewaltsam zu negieren suchen und damit eine Herausforderung für die Soziale Arbeit darstellen. Der Band versammelt einschlägige theoretische sowie empirische Forschungsbeiträge, anwendungsorientierte Konzepte sowie Erfahrungsberichte aus den Handlungsfeldern der Sozialen Arbeit. Er leistet einen Beitrag, Dynamiken der Abwertung, Abgrenzung und Diskriminierung zu verstehen und ihnen entgegenzuwirken.

The author has met many monsters in her life. Some monsters she was able to escape from without looking back, and some still haunt her dreams today, even knowing that they can never hurt her, her family, or those she cares about ever again. Like many who have dealt with real-life monsters, she has found herself suspicious of everyone who enters her life. She is very cautious about who she lets in, and the moment she finds the slightest sign of something being off, she detaches herself from others and never looks back. When she second-guessed her choices at one point in life, she quickly realized that her first instincts were spot on and learned to move on instead of second-guessing things again. Katie Sexton's biography tells a powerful true story of survival and resilience. As she shares her nightmares, she finds that she is stronger than many expected. In the end, she can't be broken.

Spousal abuse is all too common, and there are many-too many-families that are irreparably damaged.This book is a first-person account of what it takes to survive sexual assault, emotional abuse, and long-term harassment by an intimate partner. It takes the reader through the fear and anguish, the hiding and moving, and the journey through the court system to finally achieve justice and safety for the author and her children.Few of us can imagine that we could allow ourselves to fall victim to this kind of abuse, and this book is a perfect illustration of how a strong and confident woman can go from being on the verge of meeting her career goals to being under the control of a man who is not what he seemed, and who ultimately damaged her physical and mental health, her ability to support herself, and her sense of trust and safety in the world. But this is also a story of hope: you CAN escape an abusive relationship; you CAN ask for help and be believed; you CAN keep your children safe; you CAN bring your abuser to justice through the courts; and you CAN come out the other side to happiness and safety.

One woman's reality will move you, inspire you, and get your blood thumping. It's time to understand some ugly truths. When an abuser's actions are kept secret, who benefits? The abuser or the abused?The difficult questions posed in this harrowing story of one woman's account of her abuse will challenge the status quo. With the rise of the #MeToo movement, many have stepped up and relayed their experiences. This specific event covers one woman and her sister's experience of horrific abuse as children. Their experience happened in broad daylight in their neighborhood. In front of their home. Where they thought they were safe. For years they held their secret and hid feelings of shame. These secrets became a prison, and now, the author is choosing to break free. The shame was never hers-the shame belongs with the evil that invaded her and her sister's lives that fateful day. It's time to have an uncomfortable conversation and point the blame where blame is due; directly on the shoulders of pedophiles and rapists.

As a comedian and conservative thinker, whip-smart funny Tom Shillue grounds his ideas about our current culture and political climate in stories from his childhood -- a portrait of growing up in 1970s America. Growing up as one of five kids in a devout Irish Catholic family in a small town outside of Boston, Tom sincerely believes that the rough-and-tumble, rules-dominated world in which he came of age was a better America--a time and place that made him into the well-adjusted, happy, successful man he is today. In Mean Dads for a Better America, Tom reminisces about his childhood, his family, and the traditional values he cherishes. He takes us back to a time when neighbors disciplined each other's children without fear of being sued, when kids made it to the family table for dinner, when parents' rules were gospel, when the occasional fistfight was considered a fair way to solve a problem, and when children were free to roam, make mistakes, and experience the first tastes of independence. Tom debates, debunks, and entertains with his hilarious approach to issues of the day, tackling the issues that confound many Americans, like our hypersensitive culture and overzealous parenting. As Tom celebrates the stability of family life and the sanity of days gone by, he encourages us to hold on to our sense of humor and look back at our own lives, as we work towards creating a better future for ourselves and our kids, all while making us laugh.

Fin dal 1859, la storia d'Italia è costellata da un susseguirsi di episodi di violenza politica che hanno segnato nel tempo l'identità stessa del nostro paese. La ferocia di questi atti assume sempre una valenza comunicativa: a volte il mandante ha alle spalle una legittimazione statale, come il comandante militare in guerra o durante uno stato di assedio; altre volte opera senza una copertura istituzionale o in aperto conflitto con l'autorità costituita, come lo squadrista, il mafioso o il terrorista. In alcuni casi la violenza è entrata nella coscienza pubblica e si è radicata nella memoria collettiva attraverso le notizie sui media, le fotografie e i filmati o la raccolta di informazioni per le indagini e per i processi giudiziari. In altri casi, invece - come nelle fucilazioni 'disciplinari', nei massacri di civili ma anche negli stupri di guerra - la violenza è stata in gran parte nascosta finché un lavoro di ricostruzione storica e documentaria non l'ha riportata alla luce. David Forgacs, uno dei più originali e innovativi studiosi dell'Italia contemporanea, esamina dodici casi di violenza che si sono consumati nel nostro paese e nelle sue colonie tra il 1859 e il 2018. Il risultato è un libro che cambierà il modo di pensare non solo alla violenza ma anche alla storia italiana dell'ultimo secolo e mezzo.

A public health approach to understanding and eliminating excessive police violence.Excessive police violence and its disproportionate targeting of minority communities has existed in the United States since police forces first formed in the colonial period. A personal tragedy for its victims, for the people who love them, and for their broader communities, excessive police violence is also a profound violation of human and civil rights.Most public discourse about excessive police violence focuses, understandably, on the horrors of civilian deaths. In From Enforcers to Guardians, Hannah L. F. Cooper and Mindy Thompson Fullilove approach the issue from a radically different angle: as a public health problem. By using a public health framing, this book challenges readers to recognize that the suffering created by excessive police violence extends far outside of death to include sexual, psychological, neglectful, and nonfatal physical violence as well.Arguing that excessive police violence has been deliberately used to marginalize working-class and minority communities, Cooper and Fullilove describe what we know about the history, distribution, and health impacts of police violence, from slave patrols in colonial times to war on drugs policing in the present-day United States. Finally, the book surveys efforts, including Barack Obama's 2015 creation of the Task Force on 21st Century Policing, to eliminate police violence, and proposes a multisystem, multilevel strategy to end marginality and police violence and to achieve guardian policing. Aimed at anyone seeking to understand the causes and distributions of excessive police violence--and to develop interventions to end it--From Enforcers to Guardians frames excessive police violence so that it can be understood, researched, and taught about through a public health lens.

Child abduction has impacted everyone from royalty to a-list movie stars. It is estimated that every year at least 500 children will be abducted from Australia, overseas. Many more will be abducted within our shores, making Australia one of the highest ranking parent-child abduction hotspots in the world.The Child Snatchers takes an investigative look at some of Australia’s more notorious cases. Sally Faulkner, who found herself in a Beirut prison for trying to bring her children back to Australia; The four Vincenti sisters, brought to Australia and returned to Italy under traumatic circumstances; Dorothy Lee Barnett, wanted for abduction by the FBI for 20 years, finally found on the Sunshine Coast. Each of these stories are deeply personal, highly complex and frighteningly true. Were they a desperate act of protection; or a despicable act of revenge?The Child Snatchers explores the too-often bitter nature of separation and divorce, and our heavy reliance on the overburdened Australian Family Law system. It brings you the heartfelt, true accounts of left-behind parents and the children they longed for. Some are heart-warming, successful recoveries; others may never see their children again. All will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew.

Resting on a convincing body of evidence that violence is not a necessary component of conflict among states and between states and non-state actors, World BEYOND War asserts that war itself can be ended. We humans have lived without war for most of our existence and most people live without war most of the time. Warfare arose about 10,000 years ago (only 5% of our existence as Homo Sapiens) and spawned a vicious cycle as peoples, fearing attack by militarized states, found it necessary to imitate them; and so began the cycle of violence that has culminated in the last 100 years in a condition of permawar. War now threatens to destroy civilization as weapons have become ever more destructive. However, in the last 150 years, revolutionary new knowledge and methods of nonviolent conflict management have been developing that lead us to assert that it is time to end warfare and that we can do so by mobilizing millions around a global effort. Here you will find the pillars of war which must be taken down so that the whole edifice of the War System can collapse, and here are the foundations of peace, already being laid, on which we will build a world where everyone will be safe. This book presents a comprehensive blueprint for peace rooted in three broad strategies for humanity to end war: 1) demilitarizing security, 2) managing conflicts without violence, and 3) creating a culture of peace. These are the interrelated components of our system: the frameworks, processes, tools and institutions necessary for dismantling the war machine and replacing it with a peace system that will provide a more assured common security.
