Disadvantage Or Disadvantaging: Conceptualising Class Differences In Education As A Disease Or As A Process?, Roland Tormey Jan 1999

Disadvantage Or Disadvantaging: Conceptualising Class Differences In Education As A Disease Or As A Process?, Roland Tormey

Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies

Much of the writing on differences in educational attainment by different social classes in Ireland has started by accepting the use of the tenn 'educational disadvantage' and trying to define it afterwards (Kellaghan et at., 1995; Boldt and Devine, 1998). Others, like Drudy and Lynch have simply dismissed the use of the tenns out of hand, preferring instead to write about social class differences in education (1993, p 52). Far from discouraging the use of the term, this latter sort of intervention seems to have had no effect and the use of the tenn has continued to proliferate in this …

Mental Health, Adolescents And Children: A Comparative Analysis Of The Practice/Policy Interface, John S. G. Wells Jan 1999

Mental Health, Adolescents And Children: A Comparative Analysis Of The Practice/Policy Interface, John S. G. Wells

Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies

Mental health services for children and adolescents in Ireland exist in a state of ambiguity. Services operate within a context of resource constraints and increasing demand. The result is that practitioners have to prioritise the client groups according to policy dictates. In Ireland the policy priority is children at risk of physical and sexual abuse. Utilising current literature in the field, this paper discusses the potential consequences of such a focus for clients, practitioners and policy through a comparative analysis with the United Kingdom. It is argued that a lack of legislative clarity, combined with a focus on abuse has …

The Forgotten Ones: Maternal Abusers And Their Victims: A Pilot Study, Shane A. Dunphy Jan 1999

The Forgotten Ones: Maternal Abusers And Their Victims: A Pilot Study, Shane A. Dunphy

Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies

This paper analyses the phenomenon of mothers who sexually abuse their children, most specifically their sons. It defines the term Maternal Abuse, offers a review of the contemporary academic discourse on female sexual abusers, and presents a quantitative study of maternal abuse in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, which appears to show that the existing statistics from Health Board and ISPCC reports (SEHB Section 8 Report, 1997; ISPCC National Report, 1997) significantly underestimate it's prevelence. It concludes by suggesting that though Ireland is considerably more aware of the phenomenon of sexual abuse than in the past, but that …

From Family To Care: Issues For The Child, Paul Bailey Jan 1999

From Family To Care: Issues For The Child, Paul Bailey

Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies

It is still widely held that the traditional or conventional nuclear family is the only suitable environment in which children can grow up and that any deviation from this norm puts children at a considerable disadvantage (Kahan, 1989). The vulnerability of children and young people coming into residential care in Ireland due to their dysfunctional family experiences, and how coming into residential care and their subsequent experience therein can sometimes further increase this level of vulnerability for the adolescent child has been well documented. This paper discusses the question: What can we, as residential child care workers and agencies, do …

Lagrangian Systems On Hyperbolic Manifolds, Philip Boyland, Christophe Golé Jan 1999

Lagrangian Systems On Hyperbolic Manifolds, Philip Boyland, Christophe Golé

Mathematics Sciences: Faculty Publications

This paper gives two results that show that the dynamics of a time-periodic Lagrangian system on a hyperbolic manifold are at least as complicated as the geodesic flow of a hyperbolic metric. Given a hyperbolic geodesic in the Poincaré ball, Theorem A asserts that there are minimizers of the lift of the Lagrangian system that are a bounded distance away and have a variety of approximate speeds. Theorem B gives the existence of a collection of compact invariant sets of the Euler-Lagrange flow that are semiconjugate to the geodesic flow of a hyperbolic metric. These results can be viewed as …

Count The Brown Faces: Where Is The “Family” In The Family Law Of Child Protective Services, Ana M. Novoa Jan 1999

Count The Brown Faces: Where Is The “Family” In The Family Law Of Child Protective Services, Ana M. Novoa

Faculty Articles

Can a system developed from intrusion into the lives of the poor be reconstituted to provide services that will nurture the quality of the lives of all children? If not, then the system should be scrapped and start over. 
Child Protective Services (CPS) has never recovered from its roots in distrust and discrimination against the poor and its mistaken defense of a false moral high-ground, which is perceived from the narrow focus of child-saving rather than on the legitimate and long term needs of children. The foster care system’s lack of concern for natural parents reflects centuries of a dual …

Barriers To Protection At Home And Abroad: Mexican Victims Of Domestic Violence And The Violence Against Women Act, Lee J. Teran Jan 1999

Barriers To Protection At Home And Abroad: Mexican Victims Of Domestic Violence And The Violence Against Women Act, Lee J. Teran

Faculty Articles

Undocumented domestic violence victims face many challenges in proving they will suffer extreme hardship if deported. Heralded as the most significant legislation to aid victims of domestic violence, the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (“VAWA”) recognized two main ideas. First, domestic violence is a serious national problem in the United States. Second, the undocumented immigration status of victims and their fear of deportation exacerbates domestic abuse. VAWA commands that immigration laws remedy, rather than perpetuate, violence in families of citizens and lawful permanent residents. However, requiring victims of domestic violence to prove they will suffer extreme hardship if deported …
