No review available on this record. Title : Imagining the victim of crime Material Type: printed text Authors: Sandra Walklate, Author Publisher: McGraw Hill /Open University Press (UK) Publication Date: 2007 Pagination: x, 189 p Size: 24 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-0-335-21727-4 General note: Includes bibliographical references and index Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Victims of crimes Class number: 362.88 Abstract: "Imagining the victim of crime" - This book situates the contemporary preoccupation with criminal victimisation within the broader socio-cultural changes of the last twenty five years. In so doing it addresses not only the policy possibilities that have been generated as a consequence of those changes but also concerns itself with the ability of victimology to help make sense of this change. Written in the post 9/11 context, this book considers the efficacy of theory and policy relating to questions of victimhood to accommodate the current political and cultural climate and offers a critical understanding of both. It adopts an explicitly cross-cultural position on these questions. It will be vital reading for anyone interested in the problems and possibilities posed by criminal victimisation understood in the broadest terms. Contents note: Are we all victims now; Ways of thinking about victims and victimology; Exploring criminal victimization and its impact; Victimization, risk and fear; Responding to victims needs or harnessing victims' rights; Crime, victims and justice; Record link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=13505

Title : Mental Health Policy and Practice Across Europe : the future direction of mental health care Material Type: printed text Authors: Martin Knapp, Editor ; David McDaid, Editor ; Mossialos Elias, Editor ; G.J. Thornicroft, Editor Publisher: McGraw Hill /Open University Press (UK) Publication Date: 2007 Pagination: xxvii, 452 p. Size: 24 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-0-335-21467-9 General note: Includes bibliographical referneces (p.438-440) Includes indexes (p.[441]-452) Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Mental health Mental health services Class number: 362.2 Abstract: Health targets have been proposed as a tool to improve the governance of health systems. Health targets express a commitment to achieve specified outputs in a defined time period, and enable monitoring of progress towards the achievement of broader goals and objectives. They may be quantitative or qualitative, and based on outcomes or processes. However, like any tool, they must be used appropriately or they could lead to unintended or undesirable consequences. As governments strive to improve the performance of their health systems, it is timely to assess the experiences of those countries or regions that have employed targets. This book draws on a series of case studies written by experts from Catalonia (Spain), England (United Kingdom), Flanders (Belgium), France, Germany, Hungary and the Russian Federation. The book reviews the major technical, managerial and political challenges surrounding the definition and implementation of health targets. It concludes that they do offer scope to focus attention on agreed goals but, in order to realize their potential, they need to be based on evidence, accepted by those who must work to achieve them, be embedded in frameworks of mutual accountability, linked to appropriate incentive and/or sanction mechanisms and supported by an adequate intelligence infrastructure.

Migration And Health In The European Union 

No review available on this record. Title : Migration And Health In The European Union Material Type: printed text Authors: Bernd Rechel, Editor ; Philipa Mladovsky, Editor ; Walter Devillé, Editor ; Barbara Rijks, Editor Publisher: McGraw Hill /Open University Press (UK) Publication Date: 2011 Series: Observatory Studies Series Pagination: 257 p. Size: 24 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-0-335-24567-3 General note: Includes (p. [251]-257) Includes bibliographical references Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: European Union countries Health policy Medical care Transcultural medical care Class number: 362.2 Abstract: This book explores key features of health and migration in the European Union (EU). The increasing diversity of populations in Europe creates new challenges for health systems, which have to adapt in order to remain responsive. These challenges are increasingly recognized with regard to migrants, who comprise a growing share of European opulations. Eurostat data on the size of the population in the EU ithout EU citizenship provide indications of the scale of migration to Europe: in 2009, 4.0% of the EU’s total population were citizens of countries outside the EU (Vasileva 2010). However, citizenship is an mprecise measure of migrant status, since it does not include aturalized migrants who have assumed the citizenship of their host country (Castles and Davidson 2000; Nielsen et al. 2009). In addition, there is an unknown number of irregular or undocumented migrants, believed to account for 0.39–0.77% of the population in the 27 EU member states in 2008 (Vogel 2009), although other estimates suggest hat this proportion could be as high as 4% (Karl-Trummer et al. 2009). Taken together, this means that the size of the migrant population in the EU is considerably higher than the Eurostat data indicate.

Assessment for learning / Paul Black

No review available on this record. Title : Assessment for learning : putting it into practice Material Type: printed text Authors: Paul Black, Author ; Christine Harrison, Author ; Clare Lee, Author Publisher: McGraw Hill /Open University Press (UK) Publication Date: 2003 Pagination: vi,135 p. Size: 24 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-0-335-21297-2 General note: Includes bibliographical references (p. 126-130) Includes index (p. 131-135) Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Education, Secondary - Great Britain Teacher-student relationships Teaching Class number: 371.3 Abstract: The starting point of this book was the realisation that research studies worldwide provide hard evidence that development of formative assessment raises students' test scores. The significant improvement in the achievements of the students in this project confirms this research, while providing teachers, teacher trainers, school heads and others leaders with ideas and advice for improving formative assessment in the classroom. Assessment for Learning is based on a two-year project involving thirty-six teachers in schools in Medway and Oxfordshire. After a brief review of the research background and of the project itself, successive chapters describe the specific practices which teachers found fruitful and the underlying ideas about learning that these developments illustrate. Later chapters discuss the problems that teachers encountered when implementing the new practices in their classroom and give guidance for school management and LEAs about promoting and supporting the changes. This book offers valuable insights into assessment for learning as teachers describe in their own words how they turned the ideas into practical action in their schools.
