    Civitan International Guidebook for Those Serving Children and Individuals with Disabilities (Updated August 2019) 1 This guidebook for members serving children and individuals with disabilities contains the legal foundations, relevant definitions, and policies and procedures related to the prevention, response, and reporting of abuse and neglect of children and individuals with disabilities. This guidebook gives specifics behind and enhances the policies of Civitan International dealing with protection of such individuals. GUIDEBOOK APPLICATION STATEMENT It is the policy of Civitan International (“Civitan”) that Civitan and all of its member clubs and affiliated entities (collectively, the “Civitan Entities”), including their members, officers, member and non- member employees and/or contractors, and volunteers, maintain the strongest sense of integrity, safety, nurturing, and care involving all interactions with children and individuals with disabilities. This guidebook offers up rules for all activities and events planned and executed by Civitan International and its related entities that involve children or individuals with disabilities. Civitan seeks to provide a safe environment in which opportunities for abuse or neglect are minimized through the proper enlistment, training, and supervision of those persons working with children and individuals with disabilities. When third-party groups sponsor activities at properties or facilities owned, leased, occupied or operated by Civitan Entities, the protection policies of the outside group or third party, not this guidebook, shall apply to individuals belonging to such third-party groups who are not Civitan members. 2 DEFINITIONS FOR USE IN THIS GUIDEBOOK: A. Abuse - harm or threatened harm to the health or welfare of children and individuals with disabilities. Harm or threatened harm to an individual’s health or welfare can occur through non- accidental physical or mental injury, sexual abuse or attempted sexual abuse or sexual exploitation or attempted sexual exploitation.

  • J. Edgar Hoover and the Rhetorical Rise of the Fbi: the Public Campaigns Against Vermin, the Fifth Column, and Red Fascism
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: J. EDGAR HOOVER AND THE RHETORICAL RISE OF THE FBI: THE PUBLIC CAMPAIGNS AGAINST VERMIN, THE FIFTH COLUMN, AND RED FASCISM. Stephen Michael Underhill, PhD, 2012 Directed By: Professor Shawn J. Parry-Giles, Department of Communication This project examines J. Edgar Hoover’s rhetorical leadership of the Federal Bureau of Investigation during the Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S Truman administrations (1933-1953). Hoover launched and sustained a concerted domestic propaganda program that helped enhance his own political power and invented the FBI as a central force in domestic and international matters. In the process, he re- envisioned conceptions of U.S. citizenship by promoting notions of idealized citizenship. Hoover entered law enforcement and U.S. politics during the early decades of the twentieth century—a time of increased use of public campaigns sponsored by the U.S. government and presidential administrations to alter public opinion on important policy matters. This period witnessed, for example, the country’s experimentation with domestic propaganda during World War I. While the Soviet Union and Germany used disease, vermin, parasite, and body metaphors to organize their own domestic propaganda campaigns in the following decades, Hoover used these same metaphors to advance the need to purify America and exterminate its social pariah. Through his public campaigns against vermin (1933-1939), the Fifth Column (1939-1945), and Red Fascism (1945-1953), Hoover constructed a reality in which corruption and subversion were immutable elements of democratic life. Increasingly, Hoover’s tactics of threat and intimidation began to mimic the tactics of threat practiced by America’s enemies, moving the country closer to what many at the time called a police state.
