  • Stalking Victims 9
    © Jones and Bartlett Publishers, LLC. NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION CHAPTER Stalking Victims 9 by Cheryl Regehr 44 LEARNING OBJECTIVES 44 KEY TERMS • Discuss the nature of stalking behaviors Celebrity Stalking • Identify legal responses to stalking Credible Threat • Identify a typology of stalkers Cyberstalking • Discuss effects of stalking on victims de Clérambault’s Syndrome • Discuss risk assessment of offenders Erotomania • Discuss treatment for offenders Obsessional Harassment Peace Bond Protection Order Introduction Psychiatric Gating Stalking is defined as a pattern of conduct in which one person Restraining Order inflicts on another repeated, unwanted intrusions and communi- Sexually Violent Predator cations to the extent that the victim fears for his or her own safety Stalking (Pathé & Mullen, 1997). In and of themselves, the behaviors that are experienced by the victim as stalking can seem benign to the outside observer. Someone leaves repeated phone messages, sends gifts, shows up in places where the victim habitually goes, all of which in isolation do not appear to be threatening (Purcell, Pathé, & Mullen, 2004). Yet it is the context of the relationship that sets the stage for what the victim experiences as intimidation. That is, the stalker is pursuing a relationship that the victim does not desire, often because either the victim is a former partner of the stalker, the victim is a famous person who has no relationship with the stalker, or the victim is a professional who has no interest in a personal relationship with the victim. What differentiates these behaviors from normal interpersonal interactions and characterizes them as stalking is that they are (1) intentional; (2) repeated; and (3) result in fear (Spitzberg & Cupach, 2007).

  • CSSE 290 Web Programming Homework Assignment 7: Kevin Bacon
    CSSE 290 Web Programming Homework Assignment 7: Kevin Bacon . Background Information: The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is a game based upon the theory that every actor can be connected to actor Kevin Bacon by a chain of movies no more than 6 in length. Most, but not all, can reach him in 6 steps. 12% of all actors in the IMDB cannot reach him at all. Your task for this assignment is to write the HTML/CSS and PHP code for a web site called MyMDb that mimics part of the popular IMDb movie database site. Your site will show the movies in which another actor has appeared with Kevin Bacon. The site will also show a list of all movies in which the other actor has appeared. (If you prefer, you may use another actor rather than Kevin Bacon as the center point, so long as that actor is in our database and has a large number of connections to other actors.) The following provided files are on the course web site to get started: top.html, some common HTML that should appear at the beginning of every page bottom.html, some common HTML that should appear at the end of every page mymdb.php, the initial front page that welcomes the user to the site The front search page mymdb.php contains two forms in which the user can type an actor's name. The user can search for every film the actor has appeared in (which submits to search-all.php), or every film where both the actor and Kevin Bacon have appeared (which submits to search-kevin.php).

  • Between Belief and Delusion: Cult Members and the Insanity Plea
    REGULAR ARTICLE Between Belief and Delusion: Cult Members and the Insanity Plea Brian Holoyda, MD, MPH, and William Newman, MD Cults are charismatic groups defined by members’ adherence to a set of beliefs and teachings that differ from those of mainstream religions. Cult beliefs may appear unusual or bizarre to those outside of the organization, which can make it difficult for an outsider to know whether a belief is cult-related or delusional. In accordance with these beliefs, or at the behest of a charismatic leader, some cult members may participate in violent crimes such as murder and later attempt to plead not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI). It is therefore necessary for forensic experts who evaluate cult members to understand how the court has responded to such individuals and their beliefs when they mount a defense of NGRI for murder. Based on a review of extant appellate court case law, cult member defendants have not yet successfully pleaded NGRI on the basis of cult involvement, despite receiving a broad array of psychiatric diagnoses that could qualify for such a defense. With the reintroduction of cult involvement in the DSM-5 criteria for other specified dissociative disorder, however, there may be a resurgence of dissociative-type diagnoses in future cult-related cases, both criminal and civil. J Am Acad Psychiatry Law 44:53–62, 2016 Cults are generally considered to be new charismatic organization. Because of this perception, it can be groups that espouse religious doctrine that differs difficult for an outsider to know whether a belief is from mainstream beliefs.

Students of Southeast Asian history have had little to say about the historical role played by the Chinese mestizo in that region. Although studies of the Chinese in Southeast Asia have devoted some attention to the position of native-born Chinese as opposed to immigrant Chinese, the native-born Chinese of mixed Chinese- native ancestry is rarely singled out for specific treatment. Perhaps this is because in most parts of Southeast Asia the Chinese mestizos (to use the Philippine term for persons of mixed Chinese-native ancestry) have not been formally and legally recognized as a separate group — one whose membership is strictly defined by genealogical considerations rather then by place of birth, and one which, by its possession of a unique combination of cultural characteristics, could be easily distinguished from both the Chinese and the native com­ munities.
