Showing titles in Violence in Society

Bart, die aantreklikste ou in haar matriekklas, soen Esli uit haar vel. Vir meer as veertig jaar deel hulle hul lewens, maak saam kinders groot en sien om na vriende en familie. Jaarliks vier hulle Kersfees in Kleinmond met geskenke en trifle en stappies langs die see met hul worshond. Maar hoekom val Bart se broer uit ’n boom voor Esli se ouerhuis? En watter donker geheim is onderliggend aan Bart se ma se vreemde gedrag en onfatsoenlike grappe?

Gewalt, Unfälle, Sucht, Diskriminierung, Hate Speech und Extremismus – Männer dominieren die Statistiken des Abgrunds: Sie verursachen doppelt so viele Verkehrsunfälle, begehen mit Abstand die meisten Straftaten und belegen deshalb auch 94 Prozent der deutschen Gefängnisse. 75 Prozent der Alkoholtoten jedes Jahr sind männlich und mehr als 80 Prozent der häuslichen Gewalt geht von Männern aus.

Live Ready is a book about dangerous people - about predators who live in our midst and who violate our social contract with impunity. It's also a book about navigating a world filled with such people. It shows you how to recognize them, how to understand their methods and motivations, how to keep them at a safe remove from yourself and your loved ones (and when that's not possible, how to defeat them).

The Psychology of Conflict is a timely new contribution on the unique benefits of applying philosophy and psychology to mediating between people in conflict. Following his previous book with Dr. Freddie Strasser - Mediation: A Psychological Insight into Conflict Resolution - Paul Randolph here examines the application of existential philosophy to the psychology of conflict, particularly as seen in mediation.

Do you feel like you're not living your life the way you want? Have you felt like you've been in living in your father's shadow? Or is your marriage in shambles because of your husband's behavior? It's likely you are a victim of a narcissistic parent. Unfortunately, you are just realizing the issue now, but on a good note, it's never too late to turn your life around.

I've written this book to help you decide if you're with a controlling spouse because I know from experience the signs can be subtle, and if you have nobody close to you to talk to, getting validation and affirmation can be challenging. To help you better recognize a toxic relationship, I've compiled these red flag warnings of a controlling partner. Understanding this complex and often covert abuse in a relationship ensures that you're better equipped to deal with it.

I am the narcissist. I will do whatever I want to whenever I want to do it. I will intimidate, triangulate, gaslight, abuse, and scare you at will. I will put you at the center of my friends and my family so that I can control your behavior from all sides and from all angles. You think that you have entered this relationship of your own free will. Not so. You have entered this relationship, and now you are not allowed to leave it before I feel it is time to discard you.

"You’re just too sensitive!" "That didn’t happen. You must be imagining things." "I don’t remember saying anything like that. You must have misunderstood me." Do these phrases seem familiar? Perhaps a little too familiar? If you hear them often, you might be a victim of abuse - gaslighting. It might mean that someone is manipulating you, making you not trust yourself. Someone is trying to take control of your life.

He was a respected family man, beneath whose trivial appearance unimagined abysses slumbered. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for the most serious crimes known to our criminal law. Now he has written his biography, which he entrusted to the Viennese lawyer Astrid Wagner. She had many conversations with him that allow a deep insight into his soul. We learn about what led him this far: his fears, motives, dreams and fantasies; how he lives now; his attitude towards life, sexuality and death.

Over the course of seven months in 1988, eleven women disappeared off the streets of New Bedford, Massachusetts, a gloomy, drug-addled coastal town that was once the whaling capital of the world. Nine turned up dead. Two were never found. And the perpetrator remains unknown to this day. In Killing Season, Smith takes listeners into a close-knit community of working-class men and women, an underworld of prostitution and drug abuse, and the halls of New England law enforcement to tell the story of an epic failure of justice.

Three women had been brutally murdered between early 1968 and late 1969, each after a night dancing at Glasgow’s infamous Barrowland Ballroom. Their murders were linked and ascribed to the spectre of the well dressed, scripture quoting killer who had apparently stalked the city’s dancehalls. The figure was never caught or identified. But the intervening years have spawned a legend that has never quite lost its grip on the popular imagination of Glasgow. The killings provoked the country's largest-ever manhunt.

A frustrated, unhappy wife. Her much younger, attentive lover. A husband who degrades and ignores her. The stage is set for a love-triangle murder that shatters family illusions and lays bare a quiet family community's seedy secret world of sex, sin, and swinging. Better Off Dead, the latest true crime book from New York Times best-selling author Michael Fleeman, strips away the pleasant veneer of the Silver Lakes neighborhood in California's high desert to tell a shocking story about a headline-grabbing crime.

You cannot discover lands already inhabited. Injustice has plagued American society for centuries. And we cannot move toward being a more just nation without understanding the root causes that have shaped our culture and institutions. In this prophetic blend of history, theology, and cultural commentary, Mark Charles and Soong-Chan Rah reveal the far-reaching, damaging effects of the "Doctrine of Discovery."

Sexual abuse is the secret shame that lies deep within. Men hold on to this secret shame for an average of 25 years before they disclose the hurt and pain they have endured and carried from sexual abuse perpetrated by another male. As men disclose their abuse, it is important to examine how the abuse changed their thinking and behavior. A good majority of men were abused before puberty. The research shows that men, on average, are abused around the age of eight or nine, while in the latency stage of development.
