A Prospective Randomized Study of the Efficacy of "Turning Point", An Inpatient Violence Intervention ProgramLoveland-Jones, Catherine Elizabeth January 2013 (has links)
Background: From 2002-2011, there were over 17,000 shootings in Philadelphia. "Turning Point", Temple University Hospital's violence intervention program, takes advantage of the teachable moment that occurs after violent injury. In addition to receiving social work services, Turning Point patients watch their trauma bay resuscitation video and a movie about violence, meet with a gunshot wound survivor and an outpatient case manager, and undergo psychiatric assessment. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of Turning Point in changing attitudes toward guns and violence among victims of penetrating trauma. Methods: This prospective randomized study was conducted from January-June 2012. Patients who sustained a gunshot or stab wound were randomized to Standard of Care, which involved social work services only, or Turning Point. The Attitudes Toward Guns and Violence Questionnaire was administered to assess attitude change. Analysis was performed with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. A p < 0.05 was significant. Results: A total of 40 out of 159 patients with gunshot or stab wounds were enrolled and completed the study in its entirety. The most common reason for exclusion was anticipated length of stay being less than 48 hours. The two groups were similar with respect to most demographics. Unlike the Standard of Care group, the Turning Point group demonstrated a 44% reduction in its Aggressive Response to Shame, a 33% reduction in its Comfort with Aggression, and a 20% reduction in its overall proclivity toward violence. Conclusion: Turning Point is effective in changing attitudes toward guns and violence among victims of penetrating trauma. Continued enrollment and longer follow-up are necessary to determine if this program can have a long-lasting impact and truly be a turning point in patients' lives. / Public Health

Obstacles to Peace in Chechnya: what scope for international involvement?Russell, John January 2006 (has links)
No / Recognising the failure of both internal and external parties to achieve a peaceful resolution of the Russo - Chechen war, this article seeks to establish what scope remains for international involvement to end the violence in Chechnya. By applying theories from the disciplines of conflict resolution and counterinsurgency to the confrontation, distinctions are drawn between opportunities of peacekeeping, peacemaking and peacebuilding, as well as between legitimate 'need' and exploitative 'greed' at a time of 'violent' politics. Key findings include the scope for international assistance in addressing the root contradictions of the conflict and for curtailing the influence of the 'entrepreneurs of violence'.

Vision Imagery and Its Relationship to Structure in the Novels of Flannery O'ConnorSanders, Diane 08 1900 (has links)
An investigation of the prominence of vision imagery in the two novels of Flannery O'Connor, Wise Blood and The Violent Bear It Away, reveals the importance of vision to the themes and structures of the novels. Seeing truth in order to fulfill one's human vocation is a central concern in O'Connor's fiction. The realization or non-realization of truth by the characters is conveyed by vision imagery. O'Connor's Southern and Catholic heritage is the back-ground of her concern for vision as an integral part of her artistic theory. An analysis of vision imagery in each novel shows how the themes are developed and how the structures relate to such imagery. Each novel progresses according to the main character's clarity of sight. Contradictory patterns occur when the character's sight is not true.

Programy EU pro boj proti násilnému extremismu: Zkoumání rozdílů mezi teorií a praxí / EU-wide CVE Programmes: Exploring the Gap between Theory and PracticeKaishauri, Giorgi January 2021 (has links)
Author: Giorgi Kaishauri Study programme: International Security Studies Master's thesis: EU-wide CVE Programs: Exploring the Gap between Theory and Practice Abstract The aim of this research was to determine congruence between the EU-initiated P/CVE program, CT MORSE, and prominent theoretical and empirical insights present in the academic literature on P/CVE. This research presents an exploratory qualitative study which employs a deductive approach to explore a potential gap between counter-radicalization theory and counter- radicalization practice as observed in a major EU project. The data collected and analyzed in this research suggests a partial correlation between academic insights and project's activities. Three out of eight determinants of effective P/CVE strategy discussed in the literature - community engagement, community resilience, and the role of women, are fully accounted for by the project, while the other three - dialogue, identity formation, and personnel expertise are partially present in the form of their constituting elements. Individual resilience and inclusion of former radicals receive neither implicit, nor explicit focus in the project's undertakings across the globe. Moreover, the data suggests that existing congruence is not completely arbitrary, however, a substantially deeper...

A study of motivational factors of violent protest in Malamulele and Vuwani, Limpopo ProvinceChabalala, Olinda, Ruth January 2021 (has links)
Thesis (Ph. D. (Criminology)) -- University of Limpopo, 2021 / The 1996 Constitution of the Republic of South Africa [RSA], allows people to protest,
demonstrate, picket, and assemble when they believe their constitutional rights have
been violated. There are legislations that have been put in place to ensure that while
people are showing their dissatisfaction, they do not infringe on the rights of others by
engaging in riotous behaviour. The Regulation of Gatherings Act [RGA] (Act 205 of
1993) is one of such acts. This study explored the motivations of violent protests in
Malamulele and Vuwani in the Limpopo Province. A qualitative research methodology
was utilised and in-depth interviews and focus group discussions were used to collect
data. Purposive and snowball sampling techniques were used to sample the people
who participated in the protests that occurred in the areas of this study. Thematic
Content Analysis was used to analyse the findings from the in-depth interviews and
the focus group discussions.
The study found that the Malamulele residents were concerned about being in the
Thulamela Municipality, and some of their concerns included but were not limited to
employment and service delivery. This study found that in Vuwani, the violent protests
were influenced by the government’s inability to effectively consult residents in the
merger between Vuwani and Malamulele which was done with the intention of
quenching the violent protests that had erupted in the Malamulele area. Violence is
said to have occurred because the government was unresponsive, and it had failed to
provide adequate services and had also made unfulfilled promises.
Moreover, this study also found that people engaged in collective violence because of
anger and frustration. There were also people who promoted collective violence to
gain access to free grocery through looting. The destroying of government properties
was seen as punishment to both the community and the government. Some protestors
were emotionally disturbed when they saw buildings burning, while some children also
learnt to respond with violence when in conflicting situations. The government lost
money as they had to refurbish or replace things that they had already provided for.
However, in comparison, the participants indicated that it is easy for the government
to recover, because they only lose money while the community has to live with the
scar of collective violence and its aftermath for a long time.

Deterring violent extremism in America by utilizing good counter-radicalization practices from abroad: a policy perspectiveBonanno, Amy Fires 03 1900 (has links)
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / The problem of violent extremism is approaching a critical point in America. American government and community leaders must find an effective approach to deterring violent extremism immediately. A national and comprehensive approach to deter violent extremism in America is currently lacking. This comparative policy perspective seeks to determine whether the United Kingdom and Australia have good practices to deter violent extremism that can be useful in America. Secondly, this thesis also seeks to determine whether the United States can implement potential good practices to deter violent extremism. After a thorough review of the issue of violent extremism in America, this thesis studies similar background, research, and violent extremism issues in the United Kingdom and Australia. This thesis concludes that a variety of good practices in the United Kingdom and Australia can counter radicalize and deter violent extremists in America. The findings and recommendations from this research include challenges and a way forward to implement certain potential best practices for the United States. The arguments offer viable options and alternatives that the United States should consider when creating a national deterring-violent-extremism strategy. The details and information regarding understanding and implementing good practices to deter violent extremism in America are contained in this thesis. / Major, New York Army National Guard, Latham, New York
