Okay, I will admit it: I am a collector—mostly of children's books. The stories by Louisa May Alcott and Laura Ingalls Wilder that I grew up with often seem to remain fresh in my mind. When I discovered eBay (alas), I began pursuing the McGuffey readers of the 19th century, some of the Little Golden Books that are now out of print, and the Dick and Jane readers that took me right back to my elementary school where I spent some of the best years of my life. I even rediscovered the classic Nurses Who Led the Way, a glossy-covered tome (published in 1961 by the Whitman Company of Racine, Wisconsin) where I was first introd...

Assessing the Anomalous Research on Hispanic Victimization: A Methodological Critique of a Victimological Enigmaemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
This article provides an overview and critique of the research on Hispanic victimization. Analyses of data gathered prior to the mid- to late 1990s consistently show Hispanics were victimized at disproportionately high rates, but numerous recent studies indicate Hispanics were not victimized at disproportionately high rates. Given that research has consistently shown victimization rates are highest among the poor and that Hispanics are a disproportionately impoverished demographic, the findings that Hispanics were not victimized at disproportionately high rates are enigmatic. It is suggested that social changes in the Unit...

While the prevalence, correlates and mental health impacts of intimate partner violence are well documented in adolescents and young adults, fewer studies have considered physical dating violence among clinical samples of help-seeking young people. In a sample of 98 young people aged 15-24 years (54% females) referred to a specialist public youth mental health service, we examined the 12-month prevalence of physical violence inflicted by an intimate partner and its relationship with psychiatric disorders and psychosocial functioning. The reported prevalence of dating violence in the 12 months prior to referral was 13%. Phy...

We aimed to determine the violence against general practitioners (GPs) through their suggestions on its cause and prevention. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study based on self-administered questionnaire answered by a convenience study population consisting of 522 GPs between November and December 2006. Of the participating GPs, 82.8% reported that they experienced violence. They reported 1,020 events, and verbal form was the most common form (89.3%). Verbal and sexual violence were seen more frequently among women, whereas physical and economic violence were more frequent with men. Perpetrators were patients and/or...

The Relationships Between Social Goals, Skills, and Strategies and Their Effect on Aggressive Behavior Among Adolescentsemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
It is widely accepted that conflict-related goals, skills, and strategies are linked. Yet it is rarely explored how these factors relate to each other and how they jointly promote or inhibit aggressive behaviors. The aim of this study is to provide answers to these questions. Data were derived from a structured questionnaire administered to 660 male and female adolescents of an average age of 14.99 years from two urban schools in northern Israel. Findings show that goals, skills, and strategies that promote or inhibit violence are positively interrelated. Furthermore, negative association was found between violence promoti...

The article presents the results of a study on the association between exposure to family violence (i.e., witnessing interparental violence and experiencing parental violence) during childhood and adolescence and adult posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The study was conducted among a self-selected convenience sample of 476 students from Sri Lanka, using a self-administered questionnaire. The findings indicate that the more participants witnessed interparental violence and the more they experienced parental violence, the more they exhibited PTSD symptoms. Moreover, the findings reveal that participants’ exposure t...

Misperceptions of Sex Offender Perpetration: Considering the Impact of Sex Offender Registrationemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
A popular misconception among the general public is that sex offenders most often victimize strangers. To better understand these misconceptions about sex offenders, this study determines the frequency of misperception in the general public and establishes if the misconceptions are related to the policy of sex offender registration. Using a self-administered mail survey, it is found that on average, 3 out of 10 respondents indicate more worry about a child being sexually abused by a stranger than a child being sexually abused by someone known to them. In neighborhoods where registered sex offenders reside, awareness of a l...

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major source of morbidity and mortality nationally. Trauma Centers can be very helpful for victims of IPV but there may be variability in IPV resource provision. A survey was mailed to each of the 65 Trauma Centers in Illinois. Stata and EZ-Text statistical software were used for analysis. Eighty-three percent of trauma centers returned the survey. Ninety percent of respondents had an IPV screening policy. All but one Center reported having IPV services available, including social work (93%) and 24 hour/day IPV teams (7%). Most Centers felt their IPV services were adequate (69%), but 22...

Congenital mitral regurgitation due to papillary muscle infarction: a case report and approach to evaluationemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
We report a case of congenital atresia of left main coronary artery in an asymptomatic 8-month-old presenting with an incidental finding of mitral valvar regurgitation. Appropriate investigations and management lead to restoration of normal coronary blood flow and valve function. This particular case illustrates that congenital coronary anomalies may present in an otherwise asymptomatic child. It should be considered as one of the possible differential diagnosis in unexplained mitral regurgitation. Early recognition and prompt surgical treatment can radically modify the prognosis.
