There is extensive use of graphs, charts statistics and quotes from the field.
From the Paper
"Violence against children is not a new phenomenon. In ancient times, infants had no rights and children were considered the property of the father, to do with whatever he wished (Bensel, Rheinberger, & Radbill, 1997). Diodorus Siculus, a Greek historian from late in the first century B.C.E. reported that it was customary to put children who were weak or infirm to death for fear that they would weaken society (Bensel et al.). Although the practice of infanticide became less acceptable in the Middle Ages it is clear that physical abuse was still commonplace (Bensel et al.). A law from the Middle Ages reads, ?If one beats a child until it bleeds, then it will remember ? but if one beats it to death, the law applies.? (Bensel et al., pp 9). It was not until the sixteenth century that scholars began to argue for non-violent means of raising children (Bensel et al.). However, this did not cease cruelty to children nor were children offered any legal protection. "

Abstract
This paper explains that the issue of security has become so crucial in the schools that security has priority above gaining knowledge; natural calamities, hostility, bereavement, abuse of armaments, mishaps, and threats of suicide are considered disasters that interfere with the schooling process and with the psychological development of children. The author points out that, first, in the process of counseling the victimized student, it is the duty of the worker to permit the fullest possible expression of emotions, giving no room for implications and assumptions. The paper relates that, because of an emerging trend towards occurrences of campus crisis, educators all over the country, as well as globally, are striving to organize School Crisis Response Teams and Critical Incident Crisis Intervention Teams.
From the Paper
"Differing orders of events with the victims takes place at the critical conditions depending upon the call of the situations and some times simultaneous occurrence of the several steps together is noticed. Most commonly, students are noticed to display the indications of tension like the adults in response to the psychological reactions to the loss suffered out of the disastrous event. Even though such tensions can not be totally evaded, however means exist for minimization of the magnitude of the influence of the crisis on the victimized students and teachers with providing assistance on adjusting to the changing circumstances. Varied indications occur with the advancement in the age and maturity of the child. Taking all these factors into consideration, emphasis should be made on the security and in pursuit of the wider objectives of the students."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Bosnia and the Kosovo conflicts marked the biggest outbreaks of violence in Europe after the end of the Second World War. The instable political environment in federal Yugoslavia after the fall of communism, brought about the emergence of salient ethnic issues, which led to the deaths of tens of thousands of people. The focus of this paper is the Kosovo conflict, the human rights violations that led to its escalation, and the international response that followed. Even though the situation in Serbia has changed and democratic parties are in power, the Kosovo question is still far from being resolved due to the mutual hatred of Serbs and Albanians. Moreover, the downturn of the Kosovo crisis gave credibility to the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) as a political player, which has further exacerbated the situation not only in Kosovo, but also in neighboring Montenegro and Macedonia."

Abstract
This paper discusses the growing issue of physical inactivity in relation to the increase in related diseases. The writer looks at various studies and how patients can be behaviorally influenced by specifically targeted interventions that address health issues and help them realize that they can actively take part in re-orienting themselves around healthy lifestyles.
Outline:
Epidemiology of physical inactivity
Review of interventions from the literature
Implications for advanced practice nurses
From the Paper
"It is not hard to see the crucial role of physical activity in any individual's lifestyle. The prevalence of physical inactivity has been indirectly linked to mortalities associated with the aforementioned diseases. In the case of overweight and obesity, in 2001, the Surgeon General asserted the urgency of addressing overweight and obesity's cause: excess calorie accumulation and/or physical inactivity (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2001). In 2005, overweight and obesity in the U.S. reached a prevalence rate of 60.5% and 23.9%, respectively (Centers for Disease Control [CDC], 2006). Even more alarming, this prevalence has significantly increased within 1995-2005 across all states (p < 0.01), in spite of a decrease in prevalence of obesity <20% in 28 states from 1995-2000 (CDC, 2006).
"A typical profile of a high-risk family group is generally one that endorses a sedentary lifestyle. Children as early as 3 to 4 years of age and adolescents in particular, are at high risk for adapting behaviors that promote physical inactivity and often carry these behaviors into adulthood (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2000). Risks for decreased physical inactivity include watching television for 4 or more hours daily, physical activity during less than half the total time allocated to physical education classes, lack of at least 30 minutes of moderate and regular physical activity daily either as part of a particular setting (work, home, school, leisure), conditions that prevent carrying out a physical activity regimen, and an environment that is not conducive to safe physical activity (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2000)."

Abstract
This paper examines the long-term and short-term effects of child sexual abuse, future self-esteem issues, future drug abuse, effects on future relationships, and future repetitive behavior. The writer explains that the problem of child sexual abuse does not end when the abuse ends. The effects of sexual abuse on children are wide-ranging and often last a lifetime. It concludes that children may be abused only once, but the effects of that abuse can color their outlook forever.
From the Paper
"Child abuse may be much more prevalent than many people believe. One expert estimates as many as one-quarter of all children in America are sexually abused (Miltenberger and Roberts 84). More sexual abuse has been reported in the last two decades, which accounts somewhat for this high figure, and there are many forms of abuse that are now considered sexual, including: touching or grabbing a child inappropriately, showing body parts to the child, fondling the child, hugging, kissing, or touching inappropriately, and attempted or successful sexual intercourse. Any or all of these types of abuse can leave lasting marks on a child. Even more disturbing is the estimate that average abuse begins between the ages of seven and nine (Miltenberger and Roberts 84). Clearly, childhood sexual abuse is more widespread than many believed, and it begins early enough that many children will bear lasting scars from their early experiences. Much research has shown that the biggest factor in childhood sexual abuse may be an unhappy home life. These researchers note, "Although a variety of factors can contribute to an "unhappy" home, some factors that may contribute include families separated by divorce, families with only one natural parent, or families in which there is discord" (Miltenberger and Roberts 84). Sadly, research also shows that the more severe the abuse, the more symptoms that show up during childhood, and remain during adulthood."

Russian Financial Crisis 1998: A Self-made Crisis, 2002.
A paper that covers the financial crisis that hit Russia in August 1998.

Abstract
This paper contains an analysis of factors, both internal and external, that caused the financial crisis in Russia in 1988. The main argument of the paper is that the main causes of the crisis originated from inside. The monetary system that the Russian government created after the fall of the USSR failed to provide a stable channel for the implementation of an adequate monetary policy. The paper shows that the banking system was ill-designed and corrupt, mainly serving as a channel for government funds to favored industries. Finally, the paper shows that the extreme usage of government debt (often for the personal benefit of the Russian officials) was the factor that shut the whole economy down. Bonds were printed like paper, which is unsustainable even in the short-run.
Table of Contents:
A Self-made Crisis
Fake Monetary System
The Banks that Weren?t
Russian FIGs
A Pyramid of Bonds
The Fall of the Babylon
The Responsibility
Works Cited
From the Paper
"In 1998 Russia was hit by a large-scale financial crisis. The bad news of Russian default (or payment suspension) in August 1998 was one of the primary concerns of almost all Russian and western media. The events and outcomes of the crisis were relatively similar to the ones that took place in Asia in 1997 or, more recently, in Argentina (the latter has recently defaulted on the largest government debt in history). These amounted, but were not limited to: national currency being largely devaluated, collapse of the banking system, and political unrest resulting in dramatic changes in the government."

Victims and Victimization vs Resistance, 2005.
This paper reviews the novel 'Ragtime' by E.L. Doctorow, focusing specifically on the theme of victimization.

Abstract
In this paper, the role of victim/victimizers in Doctorow's 'Ragtime' is apparent, as many of the characters in Ragtime struggle to establish or counteract social norms. The basis race and creed become the catalysts for bigotry and class stratification that allows the victim concept to be enacted. However, the sense of awareness and consciousness that Mother, Walker, Sarah, and others feel against the hypocritical Father become resistance. The basis of resistance lies on the ability of Doctorow's character to consciously change themselves by avoiding societal traditions and traps that limit their lives.
From the Paper
"In this literary study, the novel 'Ragtime' by E.L. Doctorow will be examined in relation to the theme of victims and victimization versus resistance. This novel relies more upon resistance to the historical trends found within Doctorow's "turn-of the century" American cultural and racial perspectives. Although many characters become victims and victimizers of the historical period in question, the greater reliance on Doctorow's literary approach reflects resistance to accepted societal norms. In essence, although arguments can certainly prove that the "victim roles" and "victimization" do abound in the way that characters interact within this novel, resistance provides a more conscious and verifiable way to understand change and intercultural relationships in Ragtime. The feelings of victimization in Ragtime are present within Doctorow's various stories through the institution of the American family."

Abstract
The paper questions whether society makes the man or whether the character of the individual determines his or her fate. The paper studies the protagonists of the 19th century stories "The Death of Ivan Ilyich," "The Lady with the Dog" and "Hedda Gabler" and shows how, although all of the protagonists are subject to social shaping, none of them are innocent. The paper explains that all characters show some free will in their actions, to the extent to which they allow their love of creature comforts or fear of what people will say to prevent them doing from what they morally know is right.
From the Paper
"Anton Chekhov's "The Lady with the Dog" has a female protagonist named Anna who is married to a man she does respect, a man very similar to Tolstoy's unattractive central character, a man she calls a flunky. She unexpectedly falls in love with a man while she is on a seaside vacation in Yalta who is not her husband, a man who is also trapped in a loveless marriage named Gurov. Anna and Gurov married before they knew what love truly could feel like, but the live in a society where divorce is a kind of social death."

Abstract
This paper explains that the social technology of crisis intervention is recommended training for all law enforcement officers who are responsible for immediate management of a crisis situation; whereas, the social technology of hostage negotiations is recommended training for special teams where bargaining is required. The author points out that the immediate management in crisis intervention is essential to interrupt ineffective, maladaptive behavior brought about by stress and tension in an individual's life. The paper relates that both crisis intervention and hostage negotiations require a specialized training curriculum including special training for units working on terrorism and terrorist activities.
Table of Contents
Key Concerns that Differentiate Crisis Intervention and Hostage Negotiations
Tactics Differences Between Crisis Intervention and Hostage Negotiations
Training Similarities and Differences Between Crisis Intervention and Hostage Negotiations
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Circumstances requiring hostage negotiations are more commonly publicized than those requiring only crisis intervention tactics. Hostage negotiations include such events as situations with a kidnapper in a known location, as opposed to an unknown location where control is not possible, hostage taking, barricade situations and suicide attempts.
The foregoing definitions differentiate crisis intervention from negotiation situations involving hostages in that crisis intervention focuses on immediate management whereas hostage negotiations "seek peaceful resolution of a dangerous situation" with time being a plus factor, in most instances, for negotiators."

Abstract
This paper discusses the question of whether or not international intervention into the Kosovo crisis was necessary. It specifically discusses how the prevailing philosophy of international law is applied to the case. The paper begins by describing the background of the situation in Kosovo. It then focuses on the United Nations' and NATO's charters. Finally, the paper analyzes the situation in Kosovo through the applicable international law in order to reach a conclusion as to whether or not the international intervention was legitimate.
Table of Contents:
The Kosovo Quagmire
The Philosophy of International Law
International Law and Kosovo Intervention
From the Paper
"Today, the United Nation backed talks have made some progress on technical matters, although ultimate resolution remains a distant hope. Both parties continue to be opposed to the question of Kosovo's status itself. Even this year, an international draft resolution for independence for Kosovo has been rewritten at least four times. The main reason for this is that Russia, a member of the United Nations Security Council, has raised the issue that creating a sovereign Kosovo goes against international law principles of state sovereignty. On the other hand, the United Nations Security Council fears that if Kosovo Albanian's demand for independence is not granted, escalated violence will occur and thus international peace and security will be threatened. In other words, the ongoing question of international law and legitimacy continues to work its way out."

Effective Crisis Management Techniques, 2002.
This paper examines how an organization can handle a crisis. The steps an organization takes during a crisis will determine how they come out of it. This paper lays out how an organization can effectively deal with crisis to prevent lasting damage.

Abstract
This paper looks at the importance of a company's crisis management strategy and how the strategy that an organization takes during a crisis can affect the long-term health of that organization. It also puts forth the theory that organizations often collapse because when a crisis occurs they are not equipped to deal with it in a quick and timely fashion.
From the paper:
"Planning ahead of time can help soften the negative impact of an ongoing crisis. Decisions made while planning for a potential crisis tend to be more rational then a decision made in the middle of a crisis. Develop a crisis manual that is simple and easy to read and make sure it is used; it is worthless if it sits idle on a shelf. All employees need to be trained so they know what their roles will be during a crisis. This training will help prepare everybody in the organization to avert or effectively manage extraordinary incidents. It is not possible to plan for all potential crises that can occur. Rather an organization should prepare an action plan that involves responses for various aspects of a possible crisis."

Abstract
Introduction
Literature Review
Method
From the Paper
"The problem of child abuse is a pervasive problem not only for the families and individuals involved, but also a community and social one. In particular, victims of child abuse sometimes become not only perpetrators, but also end up scarred mentally and physically."
"Deterrents to child abuse such as making known to the public that services such as child protection or reporting of suspected cases of child abuse by people that can help recognize signs of ongoing abuse (other than social workers) such as physicians are in place, yet resources to tackle the problem more effectively are lacking (Christian, 2003). All things considered, the solution not only lies in case surveillance, reporting and deterrence, but also in understanding the effects of child abuse in adults."
