Popliteal Entrapment Syndrome Popliteal entrapment syndrome Sidhartha Sinha, MA, MRCS,a Jon Houghton, MRCP, MFSEM,b Peter J. Holt, PhD, FRCS,a Matt M. Thompson, MD, FRCS,a Ian M. Loftus, MD, FRCS,a and Robert J. Hinchliffe, MD, FRCS,a London and Surrey, United Kingdom Introduction: Popliteal entrapment syndrome (PES) is a rare but important cause of intermittent claudication in young people. Controversy exists about optimal strategies for diagnosis and management, particularly for variants such as functional popliteal entrapment. The aim of this review was to systematically catalog the published English-language literature on PES and to determine if evidence-based guidelines for management could be formulated. Methods: An electronic search using the MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, AMED, and CINAHL databases was performed to identify articles about PES published from 1947 to December 2010. The systematic review conformed to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement standards. Prospective studies and retrospective case series with more than five patients with arterial, venous, nerve, and combined neurovascular entrapment were analyzed on a study-by-study narrative basis. Results: The search identified 291 articles, and 44 were included. Of these, 30 studies were on popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES). No relationship was found between duration of symptoms and the presence of irreversible arterial injury. Each study used a median of three diagnostic tests (range, 1-6). Arteriography was used in 28 of 30 studies to diagnose PAES, with an estimated mean sensitivity of 97% (range, 85%-100%). Twenty-three studies described arterial reconstructive procedures, with a median failure rate of 27.5% (range, 0%-83%). The proportion of patients asymptomatic after surgery was reported in only 12 of 30 studies, with a median value of 77% (range, 70%-100%). Conclusions: A large volume of predominantly retrospective clinical data exists on PES. A subset of studies describe a significant failure rate after surgery, but study quality is insufficient to derive robust conclusions allowing recommenda- tion of any one particular diagnostic modality or operative procedure over another. Improvements in management of this condition are unlikely to result from publication of further retrospective case series, and clinicians should concentrate on prospectively collected data with predefined inclusion criteria, outcome measures, follow-up protocols, and transparent standardized reporting criteria.

  • Understanding and Overcoming the Entrapment Defense in Undercover Operations
    1 Understanding and Overcoming the Entrapment Defense in Undercover Operations Understanding and Overcoming the Entrapment Defense in Undercover Operations Sgt. Danny Baker Fort Smith Police Department Street Crimes Unit 2 Understanding and Overcoming the Entrapment Defense in Undercover Operations Introduction: Perhaps one of the most effective, yet often misunderstood investigatory tools available to law enforcement agencies around the world is that of the undercover agent. In all other aspects of modern policing, from traffic enforcement to homicide investigation, policing technique relies heavily upon the recognition and identification of an agent as an officer of the law. Though coming under question in recent years, it has long been professed that highly visible police have a deterrent effect on crime simply by their presence. Simply stated, the belief is that a criminal intent on breaking the law will likely refrain from doing so should he or she encounter, or have a high likelihood of encountering, a uniformed police officer just moments prior to the intended crime. Such presence certainly has its benefits in a civilized society. If to no other end, the calming and peace of mind that highly visible and accessible officers provide the citizenry is invaluable. The real dilemma arises when attempting to justify and fund this police presence that crime ridden neighborhoods and communities continually demand. Particularly when the crime suppression benefits of such tactics are questionable and impossible to measure. After all, how do you quantify the number of crimes that were never committed and, if you could, how do you correlate that to simple police presence? In polar opposition to the highly visible, readily accessible, uniformed officer, we find the undercover officer.

Early English cases report instances of citizens being lured into crime so they might be apprehended. 2 Nineteenth century American cases similarly record examples of persons tempted to illegality for the purpose of subjecting them to criminal sanctions.

Without these documents, the best investigative reporting in the world could not have produced a book, and the secrets of CIA mind-control work would have remained buried forever, as the men who knew them had always intended. From the documentary base, I was able to expand my knowledge through interviews and readings in the behavioral sciences. Neverthe- less, the final result is not the whole story of the CIA's attack on the mind. Only a few insiders could have written that, and they choose to remain silent. I have done the best I can to make the book as accurate as possible, but I have been hampered by the refusal of most of the principal characters to be interviewed and by the CIA's destruction in 1973 of many of the key docu- ments.

  • Social Entrapment Evidence: Understanding Its Role in Self-Defence Cases Involving Intimate Partner Violence
    326 UNSW Law Journal Volume 44(1) SOCIAL ENTRAPMENT EVIDENCE: UNDERSTANDING ITS ROLE IN SELF-DEFENCE CASES INVOLVING INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE HEATHER DOUGLAS,* STELLA TARRANT** AND JULIA TOLMIE*** This article considers what evidence juries need to help them apply the defence of self-defence where a woman claims she has killed an abusive partner to save her own life. Drawing on recent research and cases we argue that expert evidence admitted in these types of cases generally fails to provide evidence about the nature of abuse, the limitations in the systemic safety responses and the structural inequality that abused women routinely face. Evidence of the reality of the woman’s safety options, including access to, and the realistic support offered by, services such as police, housing, childcare, safety planning and financial support should be presented. In essence, juries need evidence about what has been called social entrapment so they can understand how women’s safety options are deeply intertwined with their degree of danger and therefore with the question of whether their response (of killing their abuser) was necessary based on reasonable grounds. We consider the types of evidence that may be important in helping juries understand the concept and particular circumstances of social entrapment, including the role of experts in this context. I INTRODUCTION: USING A SOCIAL ENTRAPMENT PARADIGM TO SUPPORT SELF-DEFENCE It has been suggested that the two main paradigms used by decision-makers1 to understand facts involving intimate partner violence (‘IPV’) in the criminal justice context are a ‘bad relationship with incidents of violence’ paradigm and the ‘battered woman syndrome’.2 Both understand IPV in terms of the incidents of * Professor, Melbourne Law School, The University of Melbourne.

    What's Wrong with You: Seven Logical Steps to Understanding Emotional Illusions, Benjamin Fry 2004, 0976121409, 9780976121404. You are probably familiar with audiences? responses to very convincing magic tricks. People respond with incredulity to great illusions. They sit there thinking ?how did he do that?? In the absence of an answer, they begin to take seriously the idea that something unexplained is going on. And this is where the fear sets in.You are the same. You observe your own emotions at times with similar incredulity. But this time the discomfort and the fear is more personal, and unlike the magician?s audience, you can?t run away.Now imagine that you were told exactly how the magician performs his illusion, then watched it again. You wouldn?t feel a moment?s discomfort. The same resolution can be offered for your own internal mysteries, but the question here to ask is not, ?how did he do that?? but instead, ?what?s wrong with me??What?s Wrong With You? answers that question and by the time you finish it, you too will be able to observe your own emotional illusions with the peace of mind of a knowledgeable spectator.It outlines seven logical steps which will teach your conscious mind an awareness of your own emotional condition. It includes extensive case studies from the author's life and answers from his on how to apply the techniques to others.

Everyone has advice. Everyone knows how to punish her. We call her “a battered woman” as if this says it all, although she dislikes the tag. We treat her like a “bad girl” who will not do what any of us says. Women who are hurt by loved ones, family members, intimate acquaintances, and household members are multidimensional and their experiences are all over the map. Civil Orders for Protection (Orders for Protection)1 are the most readily available legal means of accessing the protection of the state to separate the woman from her batterer. Once labeled a “battered woman,” however, society assumes that a woman automatically fits into the helpless construct that is associated with the “battered woman syndrome.” If she is not seriously hurt or not helpless enough, then society finds that she is not a battered woman and should not be allowed to take advantage of the beneficence to which “deserving” helpless women are entitled; that is, she does not adequately portray society’s idea of the damsel in distress.

  • Social Entrapment: a Realistic Understanding of the Criminal Offending of Primary Victims of Intimate Partner Violence
    181 Social Entrapment: A Realistic Understanding of the Criminal Offending of Primary Victims of Intimate Partner Violence JULIA TOLMIE*, RACHEL SMITH†, JACQUELINE SHOrt‡, Denise Wilson§ anD Julie sach‖ In this article it is suggested that the appropriate conceptual model to use when investigating, presenting and interpreting facts involving intimate partner violence is an understanding of intimate partner violence as a gendered pattern of harm that operates as a form of social entrapment. The concept of entrapment is explained, an understanding of entrapment is contrasted with traditional approaches to thinking about intimate partner violence in the criminal justice context, and why the conceptual framing of intimate partner violence matters when applying the law to primary victims who are also offenders is discussed. The defence of self-defence for primary victims who kill their abusers and the criminal prosecution of mothers for neglectful parenting are used as case examples in this discussion. “Fundamentally, because social reality cannot be delineated from social thought, by changing some of the meanings we assign to social phenomena, it may become possible to then transform the social world.”1 *Professor, Faculty of Law, The University of Auckland.
