"Sales handles - Presents a considerable body of information on violence in an accessible and integrated format, outlining and illuminating the ways in which forms of violence relate to each other. - Discusses the underlying processes of violence (the syndrome) and not merely the surface behavior (the symptom) that occurs at one point in time. - Teaches students new ways of thinking about violence in order to identify principal causes of violence from an interdisciplinary, global perspective; explain various dynamics underlying different manifestations of violence; analyze connections between self-directed, interpersonal, collective, and structural violence; and suggest effective primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention approaches to the problem. - Discusses violence as multi-determined and resulting from a compound interplay between biological, psychological, social, and ecological forces and processes. - Summarizes existing information on violence from multidisciplinary sources and distinguishes diverse causes of violence that may have similar manifestations. - Discusses current preventive methods, including medical, legal, public health, and policy approaches, and how they can best be applied in a global context. Market description (Please include secondary markets) Undergraduates and graduate students in courses on violence across the social sciences (e.g., Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Department of Criminology or Sociology, or Global Health Studies; School of Social Work; or School of Social Policy) or in professional schools (e.g., School of Law; School of Public Health; or School of Medicine Division of Psychiatry and the Law)"--

"This book is a collection of essays and creative expressions, written and produced in response to the second Making Sense colloquium, which was held in 2010 at the Centre Pompidou and the Institut Telecom in Paris. The contributions to the volume represent the ongoing aim of Making Sense: providing a voice that is at once theoretical and practical, scholarly and inclusive, a bridge between modes of thinking and modes of doing, especially within the contemporary context. The book draws together thinkers and practitioners engaged in the worlds of art, aesthetic philosophy and contemporary theory, to form an interface between artistic creation, theoretical debate and academic scholarship. Critical essays sit alongside images and articles that present shorter bursts of ideas and generate a sense of the installations and performances in which they originated. Several chapters focus on the French philosopher Bernard Stiegler, the keynote speaker at the second Making Sense colloquium, whose contributions to this volume outline his own interpretation of Making Sense"--

Background: Assessment of the growing prevalence of depression in developing countries is hampered by a lack of valid diagnostic instruments for the local settings. Aim and method: This study attempted to examine the validity of the 25-item Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL-25) in a special primary care population in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Results: 787 antenatal participants were recruited, and their responses revealed good internal consistency, interrater reliability, and test-retest reliability, and the scale was validated using content, construct, and discriminant validation methods. Factor analysis of the depression subscale, however, confirmed the need for a locally developed scale. Conclusions: Integrating universalist and relativist approaches, through the validation and modification of scales, may help in the detection of depression in cross-cultural settings.

Background: Based on experience with the Hopkins Symptom Checklist-25 (HSCL-25) in a Tanzanian population, this study attempted to develop a locally specific screen that employs indigenous expressions.Aim and method: Thirty ethnographically derived local idioms were added and the final 47-item questionnaire administered to 787 randomly selected antenatal clinic attendees.Results: Logistic regression identified 19 items for the Dar-es-Salaam Symptom Questionnaire (DSQ), which demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.84), interrater reliability (intraclass r = 0.89), and test-retest reliability (intraclass r = 0.82). Positive endorsement overall increased only slightly, but the report of mild symptoms was more frequent with the DSQ (15.0%) than the HSCL-25 (10.8%). Content and discriminant validation of the local scale conformed to expectation, but depressed affect failed to emerge as an important feature.Conclusion: Locally derived expressions may aid in the reporting of illness and illness severity. Further studies are recommended to uncover universal aspects and culturally specific manifestations of illness expression.Declaration of interest: None to report.

OBJECTIVES: Currently, little is known regarding the effect of regime type on mortality on a global level. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of regime type on the rates of violent deaths (homicide, suicide, and combined rates). METHODS: Three measures of democracy were used to quantify regime type, the independent variable. Homicide and suicide rates were obtained from the World Health Organization. Multivariate conditional fixed-effects models were run to examine associations between regime characteristics and logged rates of homicide, suicide, and violent deaths. Models were adjusted for unemployment and economic inequality. RESULTS: Nations that scored higher on democracy indices, especially emerging democracies, experienced increased mortality due to violence. Homicide and suicide were divergent, showing a different time course and decreasing statistical power as a combined variable. Unemployment and inequality were associated with higher violence-related mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Homicide and suicide appear to be more prevalent in democracies. Future analyses should examine which aspects of democracies lead to higher rates of violent death and should seek to use independently collected mortality data.
