Child Abuse and Neglect: Ecological Perspectives
No full textThere are large bodies of work looking at both the rate of occurrence of child maltreatment and potential outcomes. In this edited book, the current state of knowledge about incidence and prevalence of child abuse and neglect, as well as the methodological difficulties obtaining accurate estimates, are outlined in Chapter 2 by Lorraine Radford. Similarly, Sarah Font in Chapter 5 overviews the outcomes that may follow child abuse and neglect, including the increased risk of negative outcomes for victims in childhood (Barnes, Noll, Putnam & Trickett, 2009; Cicchetti & Toth, 1995; Johnson et al., 2004), adolescence (Hussey, Chang & Kotch, 2006) and into adulthood (Hillberg, Hamilton‐Giachritsis & Dixon, 2011). However, how and why does child maltreatment occur? This chapter aims to provide a summary of the theoretical perspectives behind the aetiology of child abuse and neglect, including historical perspectives. In particular, the most commonly considered approach is outlined: the ecological theory of child maltreatment. This latter perspective argues that child abuse and neglect must be seen within the broader context of a child, their family, immediate environment (school, peers, community) and the wider social and cultural context. For example, in recent years there has been a very substantial and notable social change, i.e., the increased use of and dependence on technology. This has both positive and negative outcomes: alongside increased channels by which potential offenders can access children, there are also increased opportunities for positive interventions following abuse and neglect. Hence this will be used as an example throughout the chapter

Alexander Hamilton: The Unloved and Forgotten Founding Father
No full textAs Americans, we tend to place a high importance on our Founding Fathers. There are streets, schools, monuments, cities, money and more all bearing the name or image of Founding Fathers. In looking at these it becomes apparent that history has not treated all of the Founding Fathers kindly, or equally. Alexander Hamilton, who was undeniably vital to the country?s formation, has become forgotten and actually viewed unfavorably. This negative perception that people have of Alexander Hamilton has been somewhat written about, but among scholars no one has been able to pinpoint its origin. The goal of this paper is to analyze the theories that have been previously written, combined with letters from Hamilton and his peers, in an attempt to come to a conclusion regarding Hamilton's perhaps unfounded bad reputation. Based on this method, a new theory has been found by looking at the previous theories in a new way: as a whole. Alexander Hamilton has come to be regarded with a negative reputation because of his disagreements with Thomas Jefferson, his own personality flaws, combined with Americans tendency to push him away because he reminds us of facts we would rather not remember. Hamilton was also an easy target for those seeking to attack him. This uneven memory of the Founding Fathers is changing though, with new and more truthful biographies about the individuals being published

No full textHamilton, Catherine Jane [pseud. Retlaw Spring] (1841-1935), author and journalist, was born on 25 January 1841 at Kilmersdon, Somerset, where she was baptized on 12 April 1841, the younger of two daughters of Richard Hamilton (1805?-1859), vicar of Kilmersdon, and his wife Charlotte, née Cooper (1809-1882), the fifth daughter of William Cooper, of Queens County, Ireland. She was of Irish heritage on both sides. Her father belonged to a military family with roots in Strabane (county Tyrone) - his father, John Hamilton, and her father’s four older brothers were all officers in the Fifth Foot – and was a graduate of Trinity College Dublin. He had been a bright scholar with an aptitude for languages, and as a preacher was praised for his powerful sermons and his ability to bring the Bible to life for his parishioners
