DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book addresses a critical public health problem in America - the leading preventable cause of birth defects, neurodevelopmental disorders and intellectual disability: prenatal alcohol exposure. Dr. Rich provides insight into the prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorder associated with prenatal alcohol exposure (ND-PAE) among juveniles accused of violent crimes, in neighborhoods where America's "least valued" citizens reside, and even in upper middle class communities. The problem develops as early as the first three weeks of pregnancy, when many women are unaware that they are pregnant. With appropriate diagnosis and treatment, affected individuals can avoid a lifetime of lost potential from substance use disorders, incarceration, unemployment, and homelessness. From her broad psychiatric, forensic, and public health experience, Dr. Rich has crafted a reasoned, passionate argument for communities and professionals to unite in ending an epidemic that currently affects one in twenty American children.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAlcohol is the leading cause of preventable birth defects and developmental disabilities in the United States. Fetal alcohol syndrome is the most severe of these abnormalities, and it is caused by heavy drinking during pregnancy. While addiction may be one of the factors, there are several factors as to why a woman would drink while pregnant, but there is no measured amount of alcohol that is deemed safe during pregnancy. This volume explores the causes of fetal alcohol syndrome and the spectrum of symptoms associated with it, which can be physical and psychological and fall within a wide range of severity. Author Gail B. Stewart also discusses the difficulty in diagnosing the disease and what researchers, teachers, and caregivers are doing to try to improve the lives of people with Fetal alcohol syndrome.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGiven that persons typically have a right not to be subjected to the hard treatment of punishment, it would seem natural to conclude that the permissibility of punishment is centrally a question of rights. Despite this, the vast majority of theorists working on punishment focus instead on important aims, such as achieving retributive justice, deterring crime, restoring victims, or expressing society's core values. Wellman contends that these aims may well explain why we should want a properly constructed system of punishment, but none shows why it would be permissible to institute one. Only a rights-based analysis will suffice, because the type of justification we seek for punishment must demonstrate that punishment is permissible, and it would be permissible only if it violated no one's rights. On Wellman's view, punishment is permissible just in case the wrongdoer has forfeited her right against punishment by culpably violating (or at least attempting to violate) the rights of others. After defending rights forfeiture theory against the standard objections, Wellman explains this theory's implications for a number of core issues in criminal law, including the authority of the state, international criminal law, the proper scope of the criminal law and the tort/crime distinction, procedural rights, and the justification of mala prohibita.
