Honor-Based Violence Policing and Prevention

Honor-Based Violence Policing and Prevention

Honor-based violence (HBV) is a crime committed to protect or defend the honor of a family and/or a community. It is usually triggered by the victim’s behavior which the family and/or community regards as causing offense or dishonor. HBV has existed for thousands of years but has only very recently become a focus of law enforcement policy makers and statutory and non-statutory agencies. A volume in the Advances in Police Theory and Practice Series Honor-Based Violence: Policing and Prevention is designed to assist all those who confront these crimes in understanding what HBV is how it can be recognized and how we can support the victims families and communities that experience it. Topics include: An overview of what is known about the psychological and cultural factors relevant to understanding of HBV Gaps in current knowledge and the strengths and weaknesses of various investigative and management strategies Factors related to risk assessment of HBV Best practices based on the authors’ experience for individuals involved in all levels of policing HBV—from first responders to those involved in strategic management How working in partnership with multiple agencies can reduce risk support investigations and help protect victims The importance of sensitivity toward differences in race culture and religion The research and best practices are drawn largely from the work done by the Violent Crime Directorate of the Metropolitan Police Service (London UK) managed by authors Gerry Campbell and Glen Lloyd. The accessible style of this text makes it a valuable resource for law enforcement and policing professionals who investigate these crimes and a suitable textbook for policing and criminal justice courses. | Honor-Based Violence Policing and Prevention

Abdominal Compartment Syndrome

Abdominal Compartment Syndrome

First suggested in 1863 by Marey abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a constellation of the physiologic sequelae of increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) termed intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH). Recent observations suggest an increasing frequency of this complication in all types of patients neonates to the elderly and in diverse clinical conditions surgical to non-surgical. Even chronic elevations of IAP seem to effect the various organ systems in the body. Despite its obvious clinical implications not enough attention is paid to IAP and IAH. ACS is still not uniformly appreciated or diagnosed. Only a few medical and surgical intensivists believe in the concept of IAH and actively attempt its prevention and treatment. The result as is strongly substantiated by retrospective and prospective data is a successful reduction in organ failures and mortality. Abdominal compartment syndrome is a condition that until recently has been poorly appreciated despite important potential implications for all organ systems. Recent interest has helped clarify the local and systemic effects of increased intra-abdominal pressure and heightened awareness of the importance of early recognition and treatment. This book written by international experts in the field follows the first World Congress on Abdominal Compartment Syndrome held in Noosa Australia in December 2004 and provides an excellent update on this topical subject. Comprehensively constructed this book covers all key aspects of the syndrome from definitions and diagnosis to monitoring and management and is supported throughout by appropriate and ample illustrations. Many of the detrimental consequences of abdominal compartment syndrome are reversible with appropriate and timely intervention and although many questions remain unanswered regarding this condition this book provides a welcome and detailed source of current information and opinion on abdominal compartment syndrome which will be he
