COPING: Children of Prisoners, Interventions and Mitigations to Strengthen Mental Health. Perspectives of Children, Parents and Carers – Ethical Procedures Report
No full textConclusion
No full textThere is an expansive literature on child sexual abuse (CSA), arising predominantly out of North America and other western contexts that spans over thirty years, and yet this book charts a journey that feels as if it is only just beginning. It is not that awareness of CSA in the Caribbean has only recently dawned, how could this be in a part of the world characterised in part by its history of slavery, indentureship and colonial relations through which the sexual victimisation of women and children had become structurally embedded as a proprietorial right (see, for example, Kempadoo, 1999 and Kempadoo and Dunn, 2001). Yet historical accounts aside, the published literature on CSA and its contemporary manifestations in the Caribbean is scant to say the least. Many Caribbean countries lack effective procedures for gathering and sharing information on child abuse. Illustrative of this is the invisibility of Caribbean countries in international reviews of the study of abuse. The International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect global survey: ‘World Perspectives on Child Abuse’ showed that of the eight Caribbean countries invited to participate in the 125-country survey, there was not a single response from the region (ISPCAN, 2008). The global survey has been carried out every four years since 1992 yet only sporadic responses from Caribbean countries have been recorded. In an earlier global study on rehabilitation programmes for child victims of commercial sexual exploitation carried out on behalf of ECPAT (Manion, 2004) there were no data from Caribbean countries at all; governments did not respond to the invitation to participate.</p

Children of Prisoners: Interventions and mitigations to strengthen mental health
No full textWorldwide, unprecedented numbers of people are being imprisoned and in many countries incarceration is on the increase (Walmsley, 2009); indeed ‘more parents than ever are behind bars’ (Murray et al., 2012) and each year, an estimated 800,000 children within the newly-expanded European Union are separated from an incarcerated parent. Despite this, the psychosocial impact on children is little known and rarely considered in sentencing even though the evidence to date suggests that children whose parents are imprisoned are exposed to triple jeopardy through break-up of the family, financial hardship, stigma and secrecy, leading to adverse social and educational repercussions. The rationale for the study of the impact of parental imprisonment is underscored by the findings of a recent meta-analysis of studies of children of prisoners (Murray et al. 2012). This systematic review synthesized empirical evidence on the associations between parental incarceration and children’s later behavioural, educational and health outcomes from 40 studies involving a total of over 7,000 children of prisoners
A culturally contexted study of perceptions, attitudes and opinions on child sexual abuse
No full textThis chapter is one of three that draws on the first extensive research of child sexual abuse (CSA) to be carried out in the Caribbean. The report of the study - Perceptions of, Attitudes to and Opinions on Child Sexual Abuse in the Eastern Caribbean, hereafter referred to as ‘the Study’(Jones and Trotman Jemmott, 2009)1 is available on the UNICEF (Barbados) website. The chapter discusses the context in which the Study was situated, describes the methodology and summarises key findings. Chapter 10 will deconstruct narratives of survivors to explore the complex layers of abuse and Chapter 11 describes a knowledge transfer project that seeks to translate the research findings into interventions and models of good practice.</p

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
