Daktaro disertacijoje tyrinėjami liudytojo teisinės padėties baudžiamajame procese sampratos ir šio subjekto procesinių interesų apsaugos klausimai. Disertacinio tyrimo objektas – liudytojo teisinė padėtis baudžiamajame procese, liudytojo instituto istorinė raida, liudytojo teisinė prigimtis, jo procesinio statuso klausimai. Ne mažiau svarbi tyrimo objekto dalis yra ir liudytojo procesinių interesų apsaugos tema, apimanti apsaugos paskirties, apsaugos priemonių sistemos, šių priemonių mechanizmo klausimus. / The doctoral thesis deals with the understanding of witness‘s legal position in criminal procedure and the questions of protection of its procedural interests. The object of the study – the witness‘s legal position in criminal procedure, historical development of the witness‘s institution, his legal nature, other questions of procedural status. The theme of protection of the witness‘s procedural interests, which enhances the questions of the purpose of protection, the system of protection and the mechanism of protection measures, is important as well.

The current study tests a social-cognitive model of bystander responses to bullying in an attempt to better understand why bystanders respond as they do. Three forms of bystander responses were predicted by adult and friend responses to bullying and the bystander’s reasons for intervening. The present study involved 326 children from grades 4-8 who completed the PREVNet Assessment Survey, a novel wide-ranging measure of bullying phenomena. Sound psychometric properties were found for the four measures used in the present study. In elucidating the effects of social context, the differential impact of adult and friend responses on bystander responses was examined. Results indicate that friends are more influential than are adults in predicting bystander responses. Further, results of serial multiple mediation analysis generally support a social-cognitive model, suggesting that social context impacts intervention reasoning, which in turn, impact bystander responses. Implications for future research and policy are discussed. / SSHRC Joseph-Armand Bombardier CGS Master's Scholarship

This dissertation examines the missiology of Donald A. McGavran as it applies in urban contexts. Chapter 1 introduces the research question by examining the current state of global urbanization and urban missions. Alongside the study of urban missions is an outline of the rise of Donald McGavran's church growth thought through the twentieth century, including the rise and decline of the Church Growth Movement's missiological emphasis. Chapter 2 includes a more in-depth biographical study of Donald Anderson McGavran and an outline of his church growth missiology. The biographical section surveys McGavran's missionary career and the development of church growth thought. The chapter concludes with an outline of key principles of church growth missiology. Chapter 3 presents an overview of McGavran's understanding of urban missions, including a survey of his writing and teaching directed specifically at urban missions. Because much of McGavran's influence on cities came through his students at the Institute of Church Growth and the School of World Mission at Fuller Theological Seminary, the chapter includes a brief outline of his students' work. The final three chapters go more deeply into three key elements of McGavran's urban missiology that have application to contemporary urban ministry. Chapter 4 addresses McGavran's contention that research is a key to church growth, with an emphasis on his advocacy of urban research. Chapter 5 explains McGavran's understanding of evangelism in urban contexts. Within this understanding, three important facets of evangelistic strategy are addressed: people movements, the Homogeneous Unit Principle, and church planting. Chapter 6 delves into McGavran's work related to "holistic" missions and his understanding of the relationship between social ministry and missions. McGavran's leadership in the conciliar/evangelical debates is addressed, as is his own work related to social justice issues. Chapter 7 answers the final research question, how might McGavran's teachings be applied in urban contexts today, if at all? The dissertation concludes with a summary and reinforcing insights from McGavran's teaching on urban missions. / This dissertation is under embargo until 2013-12-13.
