Interviewing Vulnerable Groups
No full textWhile this chapter considers the relevant research literature, its focus is on the practice of interviewing vulnerable people. That is to say that it is intended to be of practical use to interviewers. After briefly discussing the nature of ‘vulnerability’, it considers what interviewers should think about when planning, preparing for and conducting interviews with vulnerable people. It goes on to explore the issues specific to interviews with witnesses and with people suspected of committing crimes (suspects) before discussing some of the limitations surrounding the implementation of good practice. Finally, it looks at the implications for training that follow from the preceding sections. Prior to that, however, it is worth considering the developments that have led to the current and ongoing concerns with vulnerability in the criminal justice system of England and Wales that may have international as well as national implications
The relationship between coping strategies, resistant responses, and suggestibility in children
No full textAccording to the interrogative suggestibility model, coping strategies have an important role in determining people’s resistance to leading questions or their accepting of suggestions. In this study, a sample of 95 children aged 11–14 years were assessed for coping strategies and their effect on immediate suggestibility and Resistant Behavioral Responses (RBR) using Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scales (GSS1 and GSS2), the Children Responses Inventory for coping strategies and Raven’s Progressive Matrices. The results highlighted that task-oriented and avoidant coping strategies that involve active cognitive efforts to reduce stress and social pressure led to lower suggestibility scores and foster greater resistant responses The effect of the coping strategy, such as Logical Analysis, Problem Solving, Cognitive Avoidance and Acceptance-Resignation, was greater for the second administration of the GSS contributing to a reduction of the levels of suggestibility, Problem-solving strategy was found to be highly significant regarding resistant behavioural responses, which also increased during administration of GSS1, but they did not during the administration of GSS2. Furthermore, it emerged that with increasing age, and using more active coping strategies, the suggestibility levels tended to decrease
Size of the bull ray, Pteromylaeus bovinus (Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1817), from the northern Adriatic
No full textThe bull ray, Pteromylaeus bovinus (Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1817), is a subtropical benthopelagic species of the family Myliobatidae (Rajiformes) inhabiting the surf zone to the 150 m depth, and which also enters estuaries and lagoons..
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
On the occurrence of the Bull Ray Pteromylaeus bovinus (Chondrichthyes: Myliobatidae) in the Amvrakikos Gulf, Greece
Full text linkWe document in this note the occurrence of the Bull Ray Pteromylaeus bovinus (Geoffroy St-Hilaire, 1817) (Chondrichthyes: Myliobatidae) in the Amvrakikos Gulf (eastern Ionian Sea), within a recently designated Wetlands National Park. Although distributional data for this species are scant, there is circumstantial evidence depicting the species as rare in Greece and the Mediterranean
