The Significance of Listening to Street Children: A Qualitative Case Study |Chapter 1 | New Ideas Concerning Arts and Social Studies Vol. 3

Globally, street children are seldom viewed positively, and they habitually encounter prejudice and discrimination daily. They are constantly disregarded, and very few people listen to them. It is instructive to note that they are normal human beings and have a right to express themselves. Hence, this research was conducted among seventeen street children at Rose Institution, a drop-in centre, in Trinidad and Tobago. The principal objective of this qualitative case study provide these children with an opportunity to express their views and opinions. Although they live in Rose Institution, they continue to frequent the streets. Published research indicates that there exists a lack of information about their lives and experiences, and this research fills that gap. Semi-structured interviews and open-ended questionnaires were employed, and data were triangulated. Data revealed that listening is necessary to try to understand the lives, goals and aspirations of these children. Listening can also diminish the barrier between these children and mainstream society. Although it is difficult and demanding, it is strongly suggested that professionals, policy makers and indeed all citizens listen carefully to the voices of these children to bring about some meaningful change.

Violence and Cannibalism: Considerations on Cannibalism in Pre-Modern Societies: The Case of Mesa Verde | Chapter 17 | Anthropological Explorations of Gender, Identity, and Economics

Cannibalism refers to the phenomenon of eating one own species for certain reasons that widely exists among living things of this planet. In nature, animals eat the same kind of meat mainly for individual survival and gene continuation. For human beings, although one should not deny that cannibalism caused by a series of specific reasons is an objective phenomenon, which runs through the whole history of this species. The validity of the appalling rumors about cannibalism brought back by sailors and travelers heard for a long time, and even ethnographic data collected by modern anthropologists, need to be verified. Today, cannibalism for social and cultural reasons is a thing of the past in most societies. This paper takes Cowboy wash’s case as an example, relies on authentic ethnographic materials from various perspectives and uses the cross-cultural comparison method of anthropology. It aims at sorting out the possible causes of cannibalism from the perspectives of history and social-cultural imperatives, and tries to sieve through the relationship between violence and cannibalism.

The Consequences of Childhood Neglect-Induced Violence | Chapter 2 | Recent Research Advances in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 1

 The purpose concerning this research is to analyze the ingredients that prevent supernatural development exerted by intensity, neglect and affective omission by parents, presented in a case in the form of a dispassionate vignette.  There are inconspicuous levels of violence present in the family building that profoundly influence a child's psyche, in the way that abuse brought on by unconcern, a persistent pattern of silent management that ends up annulling the infant's subjectivity and leaving the caregiver entirely helpless, futile, and without resources to find ways to allow  the infant to express their affections. Difficulties are noticed in the child's connection accompanying others and insert into their social context. Negligence is not the tangible absence of the person the one provides maternal care, but rather an emotional dearth, a form of violence at which point the newborn is deprived of care, support, care, and attention. They are sensitive and lack psychological resources. It is somewhat normal at this time for parents to not have time to help their children's fundamental needs; they have additional priorities, therefore carelessness is not a sort of intensity that is easily discovered. In clinical practice, it has happened noticed that children at this time struggle to be approved as persons, as subjects accompanying sufferings, desires, dreams, and wishes.

The Roots of Post-modern Violence and How to Stop It | Chapter 1 | Recent Trends in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 7

 The Chapter opens accompanying the claim that personal Aggression, Violence and Hostility enhanced permanent visitors in our place. This dismal situation was the main reason for article this paper, but due to the Authors' occurrence, it refers mainly to US and Europe. The Author's main reason for literature this chapter is to making conscious or alert readers, Governments and additional relevant organizations, to the potential danger hidden in the smooth disregarding and carelessness of this danger.Postmodernism is trendy, in spite of its appeal is strongest between the younger production within IR hypothesis and the social sciences in general. Its claim amount to a theory is argued, to say the slightest; its implications are unclear; and its descriptive value remnants to be found, to put it mildly. After a short real review, the author contrasts the tumultuous world understanding of the 21st Century with the earlier well-organized 20th Century. The Author also reveals that the 20th Century saw the fatality of tens of millions of population in two World Wars and the Cold War, which split the world into two considerable blocs. The essay also demonstrates how the century is various in this regard. No-more big all-embracing armed conflicts, but many end-less narrow disturbing disorders, potent and terror cases in the industrialist Nations. The distinctness referred more to the personal eminence of the leaders of the wars. The prominence Winston Churchill – the great outstanding manager of the West, Joseph Stalin – the sadist Communist Dictator the one killed tenths heaps, and Adolf Hitler - the mentally-ill Tyrant of the Nazi regime the one was a horrendous, savage and murderer of heaps. The criminals and terrorists of contemporary are sick, confused, and feeble people`the one, in contrast to these officers, crave for attention.  According to me's additional reports, every common community holds a small minority group that involves this tiny portion of thugs.  The Author assumes that criminal Violence and Terror extend at present, in US and Europe as a result of three reasons: (1) The end of political debates on account of the political bodies' deterioration, (2) A wrong understanding of the 21st Century Post-modern chaotic order, and (3) An wrong feeling on the decent meaning of the profit of Equality.  This wrong approach that springs from envy and jealousy leads to seek few compensations in wrong places and events. The Author supports nations' current initiative for fighting against present terrorists by corroborating special Polce and Military wholes, which know the task, professionally and effectively.  However, for fixing the issue at the future, and improving the situation of this sick wonder, the Author stresses the need to collect trustworthy information about the appropriate population and its individual weaknesses. It is seen that most violent and anxiety activities, in the West, are initiated and completed activity by sick, crooked and less-balanced population, who inquire publicity, recognition and once even revenge.  As Violence and Terrorism are proactive pushs, so should be public backlash – imaginative, brave, smart and decisive.  Almost all initiative is substantiated for eradicating this trouble-making hazard.

Sexual Abuse against Female Gender: Four-years Report of Three Reception Centers in Dakar | Chapter 8 | Research Developments in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 2

 Establishing the epidemiological profile of sexual abuse was the goal of this investigation. Sexual abuse is a public health problem because of its magnitude, its severity on the victims and their vulnerability linked to human behavior. The study had two parts and spanned four years (2009–2012). One, quantitative, was based on the use of all victim records from three reception centers. The other, qualitative, focused on interviews of professionals involved in the care of victims.

There were 78 cases in total. The victims, with 14(±7) years on average age, were mostly educated in French (72%), from Dakar area (85%), students (61%), under parental supervision (55.1%), and less than 4 siblings (59%). The alleged perpetrators, whose average age is 29 (±11) years, were predominantly acquaintances (51%), parents (36%) for the victims, and of unspecified profession (69.23%). The sexual abuse, incestuous in 18% of cases, was more frequently linked to rape (68%) committed at the alleged perpetrators’ (37.2%) and followed by behavioural disorder (47%), pregnancy (15%), alcoholism and/or running away (12%). According to professionals, the victims are typically minors from disadvantaged areas. The victim's post-traumatic treatment is delayed as a result of the victim's judicial concern, which is often the first reaction of parents.  The management should focus on socio-economic development; Information, education and communication, favour prevention and accessibility of functional structures with competent and motivated professionals, facilitate the treatment of residual cases.

The Reflections on Governance and the Rule of Law in Zimbabwe: Political Philosophy of Nicollo Machiaevelli | Chapter 6 | Research Developments in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 5

In academic circles and at international conferences, where the topic of human rights violations has been extensively addressed both formally and informally, governance and the rule of law have emerged as hot topics. Politics, the economy, the leadership crisis, the ideal political leadership, and legitimacy are the main topics of political debate in the media. The situation in Zimbabwe has been examined using a standard drawn from Machiavellian philosophy. Due to the collapse of African law and order brought on by the colonisation of Zimbabwe and other African nations, violence developed. The challenge of creating a perfect framework for defining and operationalizing the two concepts at both the national and international levels has been further exacerbated by globalisation. The globe should be governed as a single, integrated community under a perfect international legal order. The ultimate goal is to produce a new generation of political leaders who respect human rights, appreciate life, and offer human security. The most unclear and divisive issues facing the African community and the globe at large are security and human rights. The study objectives were achieved by using surveys, interviews, and secondary data sources. My research is based on hermeneutics and philosophical analytical approaches. The study's findings show a diversity of developing viewpoints on African political leadership, governance, and the rule of law. The most common, if contentious, assumption is that violence, rigging, and corruption are necessary components of African politics. As this article explains, the rights to a respectable quality of living, enough security, access to healthcare, land, and peace have evolved from being basic human rights to political rights.

A Peer-Facilitated Violence Prevention Program for Women in Prison: An Experimental Study | Chapter 17 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 7

 There is a substantial link between victimisation and aggression, according to the literature. Victimization and violence against women often continue when they are in custody, since they may be subjected to sexual and physical assault as a result of interpersonal ties created in jail, conflict with other inmates, and custody personnel. Because the majority of violence treatment programmes and research have focused on men, it is critical that services be tailored to the needs of women who commit violence. Beyond Violence (BV) was created to fill a void in violence prevention programming for women involved in the legal system who had been victims or perpetrators of violence. The new study improves on prior BV research by using an experimental design to systematically analyse the impact of the peer-facilitated model of the BV programme on women in prison's mental health and anger/aggression. The intervention and study were done with the help of women who volunteered. The 20-session BV condition or the waitlist control (WC) condition were assigned to the participants. All 145 participants were given a pre-intervention (Time 1) and post-intervention (Time 2) survey that contained validated measures for depression, anxiety, PTSD, anger/aggression, and emotional dysregulation. At Time 1, preliminary evaluations of background variables and pre-intervention outcome scores revealed no significant differences between the groups, indicating that randomization worked. Separate ANCOVAs were run for each of the 13 outcomes, using the study participants' pre-test scores as the covariate and group assignment as the independent variable. The data showed that the BV individuals had significant reductions in the most of the outcome measures at the post-intervention evaluation when compared to the WC participants, indicating that the hypotheses were mostly validated. Future research should look into the benefits of peer-facilitated programme models, as well as post-release outcomes to track improvement over time.

A Proposal for a Teacher Training Curriculum on School Violence and Violence in Schools | Chapter 11 | Modern Perspectives in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 9

In the first part of this study, the question of school violence is examined, whether it is violence that occurs at school as a result of external pressures (cultural, social, and familiar) or violence that occurs within the school's organisational structures (institutional violence), and is then reflected in all those involved in the school. When it comes to explaining violence, it can be explained by individual, psychological, and behavioural characteristics, as well as familiar and social elements, and the interaction of each of these aspects. Nonetheless, because school violence is unlikely to go away anytime soon, it is critical that teachers-in-training be prepared in advance to deal with various levels of violence. To this end, a specific subject titled Violence in School: Educating to Intervene, Intervening to Prevent was created for teachers-in-training of Infant and Primary School. In the second half of the article, three instructors from the University of Aveiro's Educational Department (Portugal) describe how, as part of the European Project NOVAS RES, they developed a curriculum for reducing school violence. We hope that our curriculum will inspire other institutions to provide future teachers-in-training with the resources they will need to deal with violence.

Domestic Violence in Senegal: A Quantitative and Qualitative Study | Chapter 10 | Challenges in Disease and Health Research Vol. 5

Introduction: The under-denunciation remains shrill among victims linked to socio-cultural constraints in the face of the predominance of domestic abuse. A descriptive analysis of the epidemiological and clinical dimensions of domestic violence and the experiences of victims in Senegal is the purpose of this research.

Methodology: A mixed procedure was done. The information was compiled from the 2006 to 2015 court reports of female victims of physical and/or sexual assault. It also included female victims of physical and/or sexual abuse at the hands of their husbands who had a court record in one of the high courts of Senegal during this time. For the analysis, all records that met the inclusion criteria were chosen and the information was analyzed using Epi Info 3.3.2. There was a qualitative empirical analysis conducted. The victims were the sample population. In order to gather victims' experiences of violence, individual interview guides have been made. Content analysis aided by thematic analysis was performed with the program Iramuteq.

Results: The average age of the victims was 30.6 ± 10.1 years, according to the court reports of 148 female victims of domestic abuse. Over 3⁄4 (76.4%) of the victims were housekeepers, of whom 82.4% were uneducated. The average age of the offenders was 40.4 ± 11.4 years and, in 47.3% of cases, they were self-employed in the informal sector. Moreover, more than 3⁄4 (78.4 percent) of the suspects were uneducated. Eleven women were raped while pregnant (8 percent of the victims). Physical violence was prevalent (95.3%), whereas sexual assault-related violence accounted for 4.7% of instances. Of the 7 cases of sexual violence reported, 3 were cases of unwanted sexual intercourse and all cases of physical violence were cases of battery and assault. In 81.8 percent of cases, the abuse occurred at the perpetrators' house. Victims obtained treatment and care within 24 hours or less in 84.7 percent of the cases. 73 percent of the victims showed clinical lesions. Contusions, hematomas and penetrating wounds were the most common, comprising 23.1%, 19.4% and 13.9% of cases, respectively. The key aggressor, the husband, is at the center of all forms of abuse. He beats his wife, for instance (physical violence), he abuses his wife (verbal abuse), or he refuses to have sex with his partner. Sometimes, women hide the abuse experienced by those around them for fear of divorce and deny any denunciation.

CONCLUSION: Despite the low number of cases reported in the justice system over the past ten years, there has been a lot more violence without the victims being condemned. Therefore, it seems necessary to increase community understanding and crack socio-cultural barriers that obstruct the recognition of the rights of women in the couple.
