Elderly Crime and Victimization - Perspectives

Manish Joshi

Sinossi

"Elderly Crime and Victimization: Perspectives" offers a comprehensive examination of crimes committed against and by the elderly. This book brings together insights from researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to shed light on various dimensions of elder crime and victimization.
We explore the vulnerability of the elderly to physical abuse, financial exploitation, and neglect, emphasizing factors like cognitive decline, social isolation, and limited access to resources. Societal attitudes and ageism further contribute to their victimization. By challenging stereotypes and promoting positive attitudes towards aging, we aim to reduce these risks.
The book also addresses crimes committed by the elderly, such as fraud and theft, examining factors like financial pressures and mental health issues. We propose strategies for preventing and addressing these crimes.
Our interdisciplinary approach draws on criminology, sociology, psychology, and social work, offering a nuanced understanding of elderly crime and victimization. This book is a valuable resource for understanding and addressing the challenges faced by the elderly in relation to crime.

The Ballot and the Bible - How...

Kaitlyn Schiess

"A nuanced look at America's legacy of scriptural language." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
 
 
 
How do Bible passages written thousands of years ago apply to politics today? What can we learn from America's history of using the Bible in politics? How can we converse with people whose views differ from our own? 
 
 
 
In The Ballot and the Bible, Kaitlyn Schiess explores these questions and more. She unpacks examples of how Americans have connected the Bible to politics in the past, highlighting times it was applied well and times it was egregiously misused. 
 
 
 
Schiess combines American political history and biblical interpretation to help listeners faithfully read Scripture, talk with others about it, and apply it to contemporary political issues—and to their lives. Rather than prescribing what listeners should think about specific hot-button issues, Schiess outlines core biblical themes around power, allegiance, national identity, and more. 
 
 
 
Listeners will be encouraged to pursue a biblical basis for their political engagement with compassion and confidence.

The Encyclopedia of Out of Place...

Martin K. Ettington

Out of Place Artifacts is a fascinating subject. There are too many of these unusual objects for them to be fakes. I’ve already written several books on this subject including “Strange Objects Which Should Not Exist”, “More Out of Place Objects”, and “A 300 Million Year Old Civilization Existed on Earth”. 
 In this book I’ve compiled everything I could find out about these unusual finds from my prior three books and additional research. 54 artifacts are covered in detail. 
 I’ve included all of this information except that specifically related to Aliens and UFOs since that information is in my books on those topics. 
 The information here is presented in five parts: 
 Part A: Artifacts Found in Historical Times 
Part B: Very Ancient Objects to Millions of Years Old 
Part C: A Civilization 300 Million Years Ago 
Part D: Human Footprints in Rock 
Part E: Artifacts of Undetermined Ages 
 I hope you find all of this information as interesting as I do since it changes our understanding of the history of our planet in incredible ways.
