Intimate femicide in Israel; temporal, social, and motivational patterns

This study investigated all (76) cases of intimate femicide (the killing of women by their intimate male partners) in Israel during the years 1990–1995. The analysis focused on temporal patterns, the representation of various population groups, and given motives. The findings show a relationship between the incidence of intimate femicide and a number of major events/processes experienced by Israeli society during the period investigated. Following the Persian Gulf War (in 1991), during which families were enclosed for lengthy periods in sealed rooms, there was a sharp increase in intimate femicide. On the other hand, the enactment of the Law for the Prevention of Family Violence in 1991 was followed by a sharp (though temporary) decrease in intimate femicide in 1992. New immigrants from the former Soviet Union and even more so, from Ethiopia were over-represented among intimate femicide offenders. In most cases, more than one motive is given for the intimate femicide, with 'possessiveness' being mentioned in the majority of cases usually in conjunction with other motives (such as argument/conflict between the parties, mental, drinking or drug problems of the offender). Here too, differences were found between the various population groups. The findings are discussed within the framework of a stress-support theoretical model which postulates that violence in society will be positively related to stress factors and negatively related to support systems.     

National trends in female arrests, 1960–1990: Assessment and recommendations for research

Trends in female criminality from 1960 to 1990 are examined. The main focus is UCR arrest statistics but other sources of evidence are also used. Major findings include the following: (1) relative to males, the profile of the female offender has not changed; and (2) the principal change in the female percentage of arrests involves the overall rise in property crime, especially minor thefts and frauds. The effects of broad-based legal and societal trends on female criminality are discussed and an agenda for research on the issue of female crime trends is proposed.     

心理学的后现代转向与新时期人才测评的范式转换

在人才测评的理论、方法论及具体方法的背后,隐含着现代心理学基本范式的取向。新时期人才测评的理论与实践所遭遇的深刻危机,与现代心理学的范式影响有着密切关系。现代心理学自诞生起就存在着科学心理学与人文心理学两大范式的张力,这一张力与后现代思潮相互激荡,汇集成心理学后现代转向的潮流。心理学的后现代转向对新时期人才测评启发甚多,它召唤人才测评基本理论、方法及实践的响应,昭示着新时期人才测评的范式转换。     

山东女性人才发展的人口学研究

女性人才资源的开发程度是一个国家或地区物质文明、精神文明和政治文明整体发展水平的一个重要标志.目前山东女性人才资源开发在其规模、比重、质量水平、分布结构等方面指标都偏低.从世界各国人才发展的几种模式考察,山东正处在第一阶段后半期即由"金字塔型"向"枣核型"的过渡阶段.制约女性人才发展的人口经济学因素主要是女性人口整体文化素质、教育收益、城市化水平、就业水平等几个方面.

Modes of legitimation by female Pentecostal-Charismatic preachers in East Africa: a comparative study in Kenya and Tanzania

ABSTRACT

This paper examines the rise of female Pentecostal-Charismatic (PC) church leaders and how they legitimize themselves in a male dominated religious field in Kenya and Tanzania. It explores, in a qualitative way, four women leaders’ modes of attaining legitimacy in African PC milieus and contributes empirically based knowledge from four cases which include Eleonorah Wambui of Prosperity Gospel Ministries and Jesca Njuguna of Prophetic Word Ministry in Kenya, as well as Neema Mwambembela of Holy Ghost Power Assemblies and Irene John of Miracle Prayer Ministry in Tanzania. We make reference to Boulding’s delineation of sources of legitimacy ([1967] ‘The Legitimacy of Economics.’ Economic Inquiry 5 (4): 299–307). We found that the four East African female preachers that we examined share certain common practices, but that differences are manifest among them owing to differences in their personal preferences and to the contextual flavour of each ministry.     

关于在法学本科教育阶段全面推行导师制的思考

本科生导师制作为国外大学高等教育普遍适用的制度,在我国高校却是一个较新的制度.虽然有些高校已尝试推行本科生导师制,但并未从整体上达成共识.在当今高等教育逐渐普及化与大众化的环境下,如何保证法学院校本科阶段学生的培养质量,培养和造就高规格、个性化和创新型人才,是法学院校的使命与灵魂所在.本文认为,要提高法学本科生培养质量,培养卓越法律人才,应该积极研究、探索法学本科生培养模式,保障法学本科生综合素质的提高,此乃在法学本科生中推行导师制的价值意义所在.
