A qualitative data analysis: family victim advocates in child advocacy centers

ABSTRACT

Family victim advocates in child advocacy centers provide a valuable resource to children and parents involved in child abuse investigations. This work requires that family victim advocates be knowledgeable in such areas as child development, crisis intervention, community resources, family relationships, child welfare and criminal justice systems. Because family victim advocates provide essential services to parents and caregivers, the role requires ongoing training and education to remain current on the ever-changing complexities of working with not only the children and families but also the criminal and child protection systems responsible for investigating these cases. The current study reports the findings from a nationwide survey of family victim advocates employed in child advocacy centers related to their motivation for doing the work as well as their perceptions of their training and potential training needs. A group of doctoral students comprised the research team and worked collaboratively under the supervision of university faculty to conduct the qualitative data analysis. The findings describe the characteristics and motivations of family victim advocates working in child advocacy centers and emphasize the need for more advanced trainings that focus on skill-building and strengths-based practices utilized to support children and parents in child abuse cases.     

Assessment of China’s Poor County Program

ABSTRACT

China made remarkable progress in rural poverty alleviation. A major policy instrument is the County Level Poverty Alleviation Program, which has vast policy support but is also criticized for targeting errors, misuse of funds, and making poverty both shameful and attractive. Whether this program, or the country’s economic growth in general, is the main force in poverty reduction is the question addressed in this article, analyzing data for the 592 poor counties. The response to the economic growth–policy alleviation conundrum is that a push for social wellbeing and empowerment is needed together with economic growth to achieve major poverty improvements.     

湘绣在现代工业社会的发展瓶颈研究

随着现代工业社会的发展,社会格局急剧变化,作为传统手工艺术的湘绣遭遇了前所未有的危机,发展陷入困顿。从农耕文明与工业文明的冲突对湘绣的影响,现代社会进程中湘绣与生活方式脱离并失去个性,以及湘绣在市场经济体制下遭遇发展瓶颈等方面进行分析,揭示了湘绣面对工业文明和市场经济冲击的各种不适应性表现,剖析其衰落的原因,为湘绣的继承与发展提供理论依据。     

多元化的法律实施与定量化研究方法

对法律实施进行定量化研究具有重要意义,法律实施本身的复杂性及统计数据、评价指标和因果关系分析等问题使得定量化研究中易出现一些似是而非的结果和对事实及因果关系的错误判断。为尽可能克服这些局限,需要对研究方法本身不断加以完善;也需要转变视角,从纠纷解决的角度研究多元化的法律实施及其效果,从而更好地发现问题和规律。     

地方院校工科专业卓越人才培养思考

卓越工程师培养计划对高校人才培养提出了新要求.针对一些工科高校培养目标模糊、专业设置无特色、实践教学薄弱等问题,地方院校工科专业的人才培养要明确专业培养目标,专业设置必须有特色;在新形式下,通过更新理念,改革教学体系,改变教学模式,加强校企合作,提高教师实践能力,创新教学方法等来加强学生实践能力的培养.     

解读“多渠道增加居民财产性收入”

“多渠道增加居民财产性收入”面临若干困惑:在理论上,个人“拥有财产性收入”是否背离科学社会主义原理?在实践中,如何构建增加居民财产性收入的制度体系?要解决这些困惑,必须正确区分“私有制”与“私有财产”,明确劳动者应当实现对生产资料与劳动产品的真正占有,并提出一系列增收实践策略,如健全财产权保护的法律体系,推进增加居民财产性收入的制度创新,拓展财产性投资渠道等.     

论阎真小说中的“灰色”人物和文化心态

采用双层子网动态虚通道的片上网络

通过片上网络(NoC)连接多个处理器核是一种新的片上系统结构,其核间的数据交换机制是影响数据传输服务质量(QoS)的关键要素之一。在虚通道数目受限的情况下,提出了动态虚通道分配和双层子网相结合的交换单元结构。动态分配虚通道技术可以有效提高建链成功率;双层子网结构分散了业务数据流,避免数据传输拥塞,减小了数据包传输延时。仿真显示两种技术的结合,在不增加硬件资源开销的情况下,可以为各种业务等级的数据包传输提供良好的QoS保障。     

作为方法的卢梭————现代中国百年卢梭学的反思

法国启蒙思想家卢梭为中国学界接受的历史已逾百年。由于他的思想部分契合了中国社会现代转型的内在需求,因而产生了一种特定的以探讨中国现实问题为最终目的的卢梭研究,即作为“方法”的卢梭。这一研究范式既可能以一种“强形式”的建构方式造成对卢梭思想本身的严重误读,但也可能以一种“弱形式”的建构方式介入对中国本土社会问题的关怀与思考。作为百年中国卢梭学的重要遗产,这一范式也对中国的西学研究提供了重要启示。
