Based on recent studies there is a correlation between child maltreatment and culture and ethnicity. Research indicates that child sexual abuse, physical abuse and neglect are the most common forms of child maltreatment. However, childhood sexual abuse is the most common form of abuse among the Latinos with rates of almost 8%, which is higher than the childhood sexual abuse among the African Americans and the Asians. Additionally, childhood sexual abuse between the Chinese is lower than for the U.S children. This is because of the conservative Chinese cultural norms that discourage sexual activity at an early age.

Increased levels of security threats have made organizations use solutions that provide real time solutions to the threats. An example of such a response is the NetCitadel Threat Response Platform (TRP), which is responsible for providing real-time solutions to the security threats as they occur. Adoption of this platform has been attributed to the increasing attacks in the form of Advanced Persistent Threats (APT). Threat Response Platform works in conjunction with other security threat detection solutions. These include the Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and the Advanced Malware Detection (AMD). The advantage that a solution such as the NetCitadel Threat Response Platform ...

This article talks about the situation described as the “stereotype threat.” Steele and Aronson 919950 describe it a situation where some members of particular groups are considered to be academically inferior as compared to others. In this case, Steele and Aronson sought to establish whether it was true that the African-Americans and the Latino students were academically inferior. They also sought to establish whether the belief that female students are actually poor in moths and sciences courses or whether these are just acts of stereotype threats.
The study carried out by Steele and Aronso (1995) was purely experimental. This can ...

However, it is unfortunate that most of the young people and more especially in institutions of higher learning tend to shun from activities that are geared towards national building. As the United States gears towards election, it is important for the young people in universities to be reminded of the fundamental role they will play in deciding who the next leaders will be. It was hence a wise decision for Alpha ...
Elder abuse

While others are being sexually assaulted, others are harassed, intimidated and denied the necessary support they are supposed to get from the younger generation.
However, the worst of all is the rampant targeting of these people by the ill-in tensioned individuals using the modern technological trends to wreck havoc to ...

Abstract
In this paper, I will cover the issues of treating patients with dual diagnosis. Dual diagnosis is a condition when patients develop two disorders, and most healthcare professionals are not able to assist those patients in treating their conditions. A literature review reveals that lack of proper regulations and specialized treatment models are considered the main causes of low recovery rates among patients with comorbid disorders. Other issues include lack of patient motivation, education, compliance with treatments, etc. The available literature mainly criticizes the contemporary situation in healthcare when it comes to treating patients with comorbid disorders, but some approaches ...

Summary
Because of the prevalence of spousal emotional abuse, especially on women, it is considered as a significant societal problem that must be faced. According to several researchers, such as Dutton, Painter, Sackett and Saunders, psychological abuse leads to “serious negative psychological outcomes for the abused partner” (as cited in Reed and Enright, 2006). These effects include depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, learned helplessness, resentment, and low self-esteem. However, no kind of treatment has been empirically validated to be effective. One of the available treatments for the negative effects of spousal abuse is known as the forgiveness therapy. ...

A. Brief Overview of “Is Hooking Up bad for Young Women?”
Several authors look at the sex culture in today’s youths in comparison to the baby boomers. Jessica Valenti(2010) for instance argues that the problem with America today is not the casual sex as it is not new but the moral panic that exists. The mass media has driven sociologists and psychologists to investigate young hookups even more closely. Statistics by CDC and the NHSLS show that young adults today are having far less sex than the baby boomers. Hookups are not free for all as portrayed by the media but is rather a safe manoeuvre by young adults ...

The premise of this article and the associated research study is that there is a gender gap in areas of reading and math that can, in part, be attributed to gender stereotypes. It understood that there is a significant gap between male and female performance on math assessments. What is not as significantly studied is the performance gap that exists in the area of reading. This is reported as being a surprising fact as the performance gap present in reading is far greater than the gap present in math.

The main belief behind the theory of self-defense as given by Judith Jarvis Thomson rests on the phenomena that a person must become liable to be attacked if somebody else is threatened by him/her considering that he/she is violating the rights of the defender who must not be attacked. Moreover, Judith also assumes that everyone as a human has a fundamental right that must be respected of not being attacked by the other person, but if this right is being violated then the other person loses this right of protection for himself. This means that if a person is being threatened of right ...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) was associated with various behaviors, including violence, impaired emotional regulation, and aggression, which are associated with criminal behavior. It is estimated that TBI affects 8.5 percent of the population, but the highest prevalence of TBI, which can be up to 60 percent, is recorded among prisoners (Williams, 2012). Because TBI is associated with elevating risk factors for offending behaviors, and because it mainly occurs during early stages of life, it is important to investigate clinical implications of treating TBI to reduce criminal behaviors that may be associated with previous brain injuries.

VA Hospital
When considering the VA, many do not think about the technology behind the institution. By some it is considered run down and dreary, too behind the times to have the technology necessary to draw hackers out of their lairs. By others it is considered a medical stronghold for America’s soldiers. By those who work at the Veteran’s administration, they are aware that since 2009, 181 pieces of electronic medical equipment were infected with Malware, leaving them vulnerable to cyber attackers and hackers.
One may ask why a cyber attacker would target the Veteran’s administration, or what ...

In their research “The emotional roots of conspiratorial perceptions, system justification, and belief in the paranormal”, Whitson, Galinsky and Kay (2014) addressed human emotions that are linked with the uncertainty of the world. They suggest a hypothesis that these emotions (such as fear, surprise, hope, etc.) should promote the need to endow the world with structure and order using a variety of compensatory measures.
The reason to conduct the experiments described in the article was a desire to prove that the certainty of the emotions plays a greater role than its valence in the process of activating compensatory control. Moreover, the experiments ...

While it remains debatable that money cannot buy happiness, money certainly can buy quality mental health medications and services. It also may buy a sense of feeling good about one’s self – or at least feeling better in comparison to poorer people. Living in poverty and living with a mental health issue are often comorbidities. Common mental disorders (CMD) such as major depression and anxiety are treatable only if a person suffering from these disorders is able to get access to mental health care. Sadly, this is not often the case for those living at the poverty level or homelessness, no matter ...

The brain is a highly complex organ, with a network of nerve cells that serve as a starting point for everything an individual senses, thinks, and ultimately the actions carried out. There are two responses that the brain is responsible for carrying out: conscious responses and autonomic responses, with fear being an example of the latter due to it usually being triggered unconsciously, leaving the individual to realize that the fear reaction has been triggered only after a myriad of physical responses have occurred (Debiec & LeDoux, 2004).
While the experience of fear is rather autonomic, ...

Two different viewpoints persist in each of the cases. In the Garner case, he had been unable to breathe and choked to death. I think that the officers had no right to punish him with death because a man drinking and driving has no intention to kill others, ...

According to research, racism is not a thing of the past, but is rampant even now, in today’s society. It is a widespread problem that seemingly stems from the belief that black or African-American males are more aggressive than their white counterparts.

It shows empirical evidence by way of researches and tests that were done, by a wide cross-section that determined that racism is still alive and well.

Bitcoin is purely peer-peer electronic cash that makes it possible for online money payments to be remitted directly from one party to the other without having to go through financial institutions. With bitcoin, digital signatures are considered part of the solution but the problem arises when the trusted third party is needed to curtail any form of double spending. The solution to this double spending lies in bitcoin; this is because it timestamps transactions by hashing them into a hash-based work proof. This makes it form a network that will not be altered unless the proof-of work is redone. Bitcoin has ...
