Women’s health inequalities in 15 Muslim-populated countries
In this study, we examined health inequalities and the status of women as evidenced in the patterns of population and mortality statistics in fifteen Muslim-populated countries. Based on WHO data, female-to-male ratios were calculated to determine differential gender ratios of population and mortality, using Western gender patterns as a baseline. The socioeconomic contexts of the analysis were the percentage of women in parliaments data by OECD a…
Child Mortality and Child-Abuse-Related Deaths in Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cuba, Czech Republic, Estonia, FRY Macedonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovak…
Child-abuse-related deaths (CARD) and child mortality rates (CMR) are important issues in every culture. This paper examines both CARD and CMR in seventeen former communist countries (FCCs) since the end of the Russian hegemony, with two Western comparator countries: the USA and the UK. World Health Organisation CARD and CMR data (birth to four years) between 1988–90 and 2012–14 have been extrapolated. Chi-square tests compare each FCC mortality …
Psychiatric Social Work in the United Kingdom
Comparing UK and Other Western Countries' Health Expenditure, Relative Poverty and Child Mortality
We examined the UK 's effectiveness in reducing Child Mortality with 20 other Western countries, in the context of their national health expenditures, and, relative poverty — measured by ‘Income Inequality’ the gap between top and bottom 20 per cent of income. W.H.O. Child (0–14) Mortality Rates ( CMR ) and GDP Expenditure on Health (% GDPHE ) were examined and a cost‐effectiveness ratio calculated, which is the reduced CMR over the period divide…
Child mortality, health expenditure and poverty in the western nations 1979-2010
Child mortality rates (0-4 years) between 1979 and 2010 and poverty were shown to be significantly worse in five of the six English-speaking countries than in the other 15 western nations suggesting that in these countries children are relatively disadvantaged
Examining Undetermined and Accidental Deaths as Source of ‘Under-Reported-Suicide’ by Age and Sex in Twenty Western Countries
Who Kills Children? Re-Examining the Evidence
Violent children's deaths have become a surrogate indicator of effective child protection but can those who kill children be better identified? A decade-long study of child homicide assailants (population of 2.5 million) is re-examined in the context of nineteen Western nations' child mortality rates and child-abuse-related deaths, correlated with four international measures of relative poverty, focusing on income inequality. Child mortality rate…
Zero Degrees of Empathy
Giving a voice to the unheard’? Is female youth (15–24 years) suicide linked to restricted access to family planning? Comparing two Catholic continents
Suicide is a neglected area of social work research and suicides are often influenced by cultural factors. WHO data on female youth (15–24 years) suicide, and Undetermined Deaths (UnD), the most likely source of under-reported suicides, are analysed from two continents sharing religio-cultural views on suicide and family planning, that is, Western European Catholic countries (WECC) and Latin American countries (LatAC). It was found that LatAC fem…

Participants Patients recruited to the Cornwall Heart Attack Rehabilitation Management Study (CHARMS). Method Participants recruited to CHARMS who were alive 3 years and 9 months aft…
What Stops Us From Healing the Healers
Background: Doctors are poor at help-seeking, particularly for mental ill health; attitudes of colleagues reflecting stigmatisation may be important factors influencing decisions to seek support. Aims: This article focuses on doctors’ attitudes to depression rather than mental illness in general. It seeks to determine the extent to which doctors perceive depression is stigmatised within the medical profession and whether the level of perceived st…

Exploring Potential 'Extra-Familial' Child Homicide Assailants in the UK and Estimating their Homicide Rate
High-profile child murders lead parents to fear for their children’s safety, but perception of risk is often at variance with reality. We explore the numbers of potential ‘Extra-familial’ child homicide assailants in the United Kingdom and estimate their actual murder rate to determine risk levels. A South of England study, equivalent to a 4 per cent sample of the UK population, of a decade of consecutive child homicides identified the characteri…
A Comparison of Child-sex-abuse-related and Mental-disorder-related Suicide in a Six-year Cohort of Regional Suicides
The study compares Mental-Disorder-Related (MDR) suicide rates with Child-Sex-Abuse-Related (CSAR) suicide of 'Victims' and 'Perpetrators' of child sex abuse, based upon an examination of all Coroners' inquest files over a six-year period (n = 1,017). Census data, psychiatric case register and police records were used to calculate the potential MDR and CSAR populations. There were five main findings: (i) male and female CSAR victim suicide rates …
A Comparative Study of Children and Adult Homicide Rates in the USA and the Major Western Countries 1974–1999
A Reply to Helen Barnes' Comment on Child Homicide
An international comparison of 'youth' (15–24) and 'adult' (25–34) homicide 1974–94
Youth murder in the USA has given further impetus to the 'gun debate' in American culture. It is argued that if the extent of violent deaths in the USA, compared with the rest of the developed world, was more widely understood, this would improve the likelihood of change. A USA/international comparison of 'youth & adult' (15-34) homicide was undertaken to demonstrate the anomaly of the US homicide situation compared with other major Western count…
Perceptions of Antisocial and Bullying Behavior in 8- and 14-Year-Old Children in Rural North Thailand
In a pilot survey of perceptions of antisocial and bullying behavior in 8-year-old (N = 40) and 14-year-old (N = 50) girls and boys from rural north Thailand, using the two most equivalent Thai terms, the younger cohort was: (i) more accurate in judgements of antisocial and verbal bullying behavior; but (ii) less accurate in differentiation of verbal bullying behavior from social exclusion. These results are considered in the context of the overa…
High Risk’ Adolescents Five Years On
It is acknowledged that adolescents [11-15] who either spend time in ‘Exclusion Units’ and are ‘Looked-After’ by the Local Authority are at high risk for a range of psychosocial pathologies. An analysis of Police records and a Suicide Register of 6-year cohorts of former ‘Looked-After’ ‘Excluded-from-School’ adolescents [n = 814 and 227] revealed some surprising findings in relation to subsequent suicide and homicide as young adults [15–25]. Ther…
The Billion Dollar Costs of Troubled Youth
A follow-up study of 227 youth (to mean age 19.5) excluded from school and transferred into special behavioural units found that 63% had criminal convictions after leaving formal schooling, at age 16. Thirty percent had been convicted of “violence against the person”, and 31% had served or were serving prison terms. Twenty six percent had been convicted of 10 or more crimes. The costs (conservatively estimated) of servicing this cohort since the …
Consumer Opinions of the Probation Service
This article reports the results of a research study which treated offenders as ‘consumers’ of probation work. The study aimed firstly to gather offenders’ views of the effectiveness with which probation officers dealt with their practical problems and, secondly, to understand how far the probation service was perceived as helpful or unhelpful in meeting their psychosocial difficulties. Respondents’ views of other community agencies were also eli…
Search for an Indicator of Effective Child Protection in a Re-analysis of Child Homicide in the Major Western Countries 1973-1992
An analysis of child homicides published in the British Journal of Social Work, demonstrated major falls in child deaths in England and Wales between 1973 and 1988. The results were seen as one indicator of improved child protection (Pritchard, 1992a). That study, and a reply to a critique by Creighton (1993), were challenged by Lindsey and Trocmé (1994) and Macdonald (1995). This paper is a response, and takes advantage of the criticisms and new…

Perinatal outcomes and related factors
This paper makes use of the opportunity provided by comparable obstetric data bases to examine area and social class variations in perinatal outcome and associated factors in areas smaller than those usually reported. Analyses are based on singleton births to primiparous residents in the catchment areas of the Aberdeen Maternity and Neonatal Database (n = 4948) and the Cardiff Births Survey (n = 11893) between 1976 and 1981. The factors considere…

What Can We Afford For the National Health Service
The annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is here used as a standard measure against which to compare expenditure on Health & Welfare and Defence budgets, between Conservative and Labour governments and the four largest EC countries 1973/4‐1993/4. An analysis of Mrs Thatcher's governments’ expenditure shows that proportionately less GDP went to General Government Expenditure (GGE) than all the other European Community countries. Mrs Thatcher's firs…

Starting a Family in Aberdeen 1961–79
The age structure of the population of married women resident in Aberdeen District starting a family has changed over the last two decades. Since 1970, successive populations have tended to be smaller in numbers and older. These tendencies may, in part, be accounted for by couples delaying the start of family building and the related reduction in the proportions of legitimate first births which were prenuptially conceived. Although a feature of a…
