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
Oral History Interview: Peter Bull
No full textThis interview is one of series conducted concerning the Oral History of Appalachia. Peter Bull was an English actor and author. He discusses: Greece; books he has written; long and detailed discussions of teddy bears; his family; people he has known; astrology; his career in theater; movies he has starred in; other movies and plays; his pet dogs; and other topics.https://mds.marshall.edu/oral_history/1566/thumbnail.jp
The role of particle-toughening in improving post-impact compressive strength
No full textThis work investigates the micromechanisms associated with particle-toughening strategies to improve the damage resistant and damage tolerant performance in carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials. Five material systems were studied; consisting of one untoughened and four particle-toughened systems. Synchrotron radiation computed tomography (SRCT) was used to study the damage micromechanisms in standard 150mm x 100 mm rectangular coupons subjected to 30 J low velocity impact loading. Laboratory based micro-focus computed tomography (?CT) enabled damage assessments and comparison of coupons subjected to low velocity impact, quasi-static indentation and at the onset of compression-after-impact failure. Mechanisms leading to damage resistance and damage tolerance are discussed along with strategies to use these observations to inform finite element models
The influence of toughening-particles in CFRPs on low velocity impact damage resistance performance
No full textThe role of particle-toughening for increasing impact damage resistance in carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites was investigated. Five carbon fibre reinforced systems consisting of four particle-toughened matrices and one system containing no toughening particles were subjected to low velocity impacts ranging from 25 J to 50 J to establish the impact damage resistance of each material system. Synchrotron radiation computed tomography (SRCT) enabled a novel approach for damage assessment and quantification. Toughening mechanisms were detected in the particle-toughened systems consisting of particle–resin debonding, crack-deflection and crack-bridging. Quantification of the bridging behaviour, increase in crack path length and roughness was undertaken. Out of the three toughening mechanisms measured, particle systems exhibited a larger extent of bridging suggesting a significant contribution of this toughening mechanism compared to the system with no particle
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
The relationship between coping strategies, resistant responses, and suggestibility in children
No full textAccording to the model of interrogative suggestibility also relevant to children, 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 to 14 years were assessed for coping strategies and their association/possible effect on immediate suggestibility and resistant behavioral responses using (i) Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scales (GSS1 and GSS 2), (ii) coping strategies detected with the Children Responses Inventory and (iii) non-verbal IQ using Raven’s Progressive Matrices. We hypothesized that approach cognitive-behavior and avoidance-cognitive coping strategies with active cognitive efforts would reduce vulnerability in suggestive interviews and that behavioural coping strategies would increase resistant answers to unanswerable questions. The data indicated 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 Direct Explanation 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
