This book is based upon a study and an analysis of offenders and their victims. The modus operandi of this offense is reviewed and the response of the victims outlined. Evaluations on why, where, and when men expose themselves, what their methods of committing this offense are, how they select their victims, and other sex offenses commonly associated with indecent exposure are discussed. Police response, criminal investigations, and legal aspects of this problem are reviewed. The concluding chapters on treatment includes recent advances in behavior therapy

Although attitudinal effects of exposure have been demonstrated, previous reports of weak relationships between attitudes and behavior raise questions regarding the behavioral effects of exposure. Substantial positive correlations were found between an index of exposure to each U.S. President, probability of recalling the President in a free recall task, rated favorableness of attitude toward each, and number of Presidential decanters purchased in several grocery stores. Using multiple regression, however, only recall significantly predicted decanter sales (r = 0.81), while only the exposure index significantly predicted favorableness ratings (r = 0.75). Theoretical implications are discussed.

Editor's Note: In February 1981 the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Organization Committee (GASBOC) recommended the establishment of a governmental accounting standards board. Its exposure draft will be the subject of intense examination in the coming months. Shortly after the draft was issued, the Financial Accounting Foundation, which is involved in accounting standards for private organizations, called for a single group to set standards for both public and private entities.Much more is involved than the jurisdictional issue of whether a single or a dual structure should be established for accounting standards. Once in operation, these standards will shape governmental accounting and reporting practices, much in the way that standards now dictate the accounting procedures of private firms. Many state and local governments will have to revamp their accounting structures in order to satisfy the new standards. At issue also is the question of whether standards should primarily satisfy the needs and interests of external users or those of the governmental unit. Should governments be accountable principally through the political process or through externally enforced rules? This question goes to the heart of American democracy. The way it is answered will not only influence financial management, but also the conduct and quality of government.In order to encourage informed debate, excerpts from berth the GASBOC exposure draft and the FAF statement are published here. In addition, a selected bibliography by James Chan should help readers work their way through the maze of accounting standards.
This pamphlet discusses exposures to hazardous substances in the environment. It explains how public health scientists try to connect environmental exposures to illness. It lists some sources of environmental hazards, and suggests ways you can either reduce your exposure to them, or reduce the likelihood of adverse health effects for those you can't avoid. It also contains information on some of the illnesses and other health effects known to be caused by some of the more common environmental hazards. ; This pamphlet is supported in whole by funds from the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act trust fund through a cooperative agreement with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, Public Health Service, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Atlanta, Georgia ; Date range is approximate, but must be after 1980 due to mention of Superfund legislation and likely later than that due to the word processor look of document.
