Countering Isis Finances
Starting in 2015, the US-led coalition against ISIS began to target ISIS’s financial infrastructure. These efforts led to a loss of revenue, a drop in morale, and the desertion of fighters, and contributed to the overall success against ISIS. This was arguably the single greatest strategic success of counter-terrorist financing operations, yet it has gone largely unnoticed and unstudied. This article first provides a summary of the financial port…

Who’s talking to whom in agribusiness? And should anyone listen? The network of intellectual influence in agribusiness research
Purpose To develop an understanding of communication among agribusiness journals and to examine patterns of citations that allow the measurement and description of the structure of communication flows among those journals in a network. Design/methodology/approach The data for this study were gathered from the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) published by Thomson Scientific (Philadelphia). The authors conducted a bibliometric analysis, based on an i…
A brief study of football in London from 1800 to the founding of the Football Association in 1863
The aim of this article is to examine football-related events in London from 1800 to the early years of the Football Association (FA), following its foundation in 1863. The focus will fall to the latter part of that period, simply because there are more resources available, with a greater number of reports and references to football in the press. In saying ‘football’, this covers a broad spectrum of activities that would have the key elements of …
The Global Spread of Islamism and the Consequences for Terrorism
Medicolegal Causation Investigation of Bacterial Endocarditis Associated with an Oral Surgery Practice Using the Inference Approach
Investigating causation is a primary goal in forensic/legal medicine, aiming to establish the connection between an unlawful/negligent act and an adverse outcome. In malpractice litigation involving a healthcare-associated infection due to a failure of infection prevention and control practices, the medicolegal causal analysis needs to quantify the individual causal probabilities to meet the evidentiary requirements of the court. In this paper, w…
Principles and Methods for Evidence-Based Quantification of the Effect of Seat Belt Non-Use in Crash-Related Litigation
Traffic crashes are a common cause of injury and death, and often result from the negligent actions of an inattentive, speeding, or impaired driver. In such cases, a civil legal action may be brought by an injured claimant for compensation for injuries resulting from a crash. Crash-related litigation is defended on various theories, one of which is to raise the issue of contributory negligence when the claimant was not using an available seat bel…
Diagnostic Accuracy of Videofluoroscopy for Symptomatic Cervical Spine Injury Following Whiplash Trauma
Videofluoroscopic examination of the cervical spine provides a high degree of diagnostic accuracy for the identification of vertebral instability in patients with chronic pain stemming from whiplash trauma
Inference
A fundamental purpose of forensic medical, or medicolegal, analysis is to provide legal factfinders with an opinion regarding the causal relationship between an alleged unlawful or negligent action and a medically observed adverse outcome, which is needed to establish legal liability. At present, there are no universally established standards for medicolegal causal analysis, although several different approaches to causation exist, with varying s…
A Magna Carta for Children
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is the most widely ratified human rights treaty in the world, yet everyday children still face poverty, violence, war, disease and disaster. Are the rights we currently afford to children enough? Combining historical analysis with international human rights law, Michael Freeman considers early legal and philosophical theories on children's rights before exploring the impact and limitations of the Conve…

The Future of Children’s Rights
This volume is in part intended to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. We are now a generation on from its formulation, and, as this varied collection of articles by leading thinkers in the field reflects, children's rights have come a long way. Yet the aim of this volume is not to look back, but to take stock and look forward. It explores subjects as diverse as socio-economic rights, corpor…
Risk factors for homicide victimization in post-genocide Rwanda
Homicide victims in Rwanda are relatively young and the proportion of female victims is one of the highest globally. Contrary to the initial study considerations, genocide exposure (either as a survivor or perpetrator) was not a significant predictor of homicide victimization. Rather, risk factors were similar to those described in other countries, regardless of gender status. Sensitizing communities against alcohol heavy drinking, and illicit br…

Perceptions of Welshness
An extensive search of over 900 accounts of tours of Wales between 1770 and 1840 has yielded many descriptions and illustrations of a small range of objects and practices which formed part of the material and traditional culture of the people of Wales
Atlas of Nazi Germany
Originally published in hardback only in 1987, Michael Freeman's valuable guide to the history of Nazi Germany now returns to print in a substantially revised Second Edition. Dealing with all aspects of the Nazi regime, it is far more than just an atlas: the integration of the maps themselves with charts and other visually-displayed data, and an extensive and authoritative commentary, makes this a book to read as well as to refer to.
Law and Global Health
This book is based upon an annual colloquium held at University College London. Each year leading scholars from around the world gather to discuss the relationship between law and another discipline of thought. Each colloquium examines how the external discipline is conceived in legal thought and argument, how the law is pictured in that discipline, and analyses points of controversy in the use, and abuse, of extra-legal arguments within legal th…

Transmedia Archaeology
Throughout the world, people now engage with stories across multiple media, following the adventures of Doctor Who from television to the Web, exploring the Batman universe across cinema, television, comics, and more. This may seem recent, but transmedia storytelling is not a new phenomenon. History is filled with popular fiction, whose stories extend across different media as yesteryear's fan communities also participated in the act of expanding…

Why It Remains Important to Take Children's Rights Seriously
It was Ronald Dworkin who, nearly 30 years ago, urged us to 'take rights seriously' (1977). It is a pity that his argument did not specifically extend to children. The language of rights can make visible what has for too long been suppressed. It can lead to different and new stories being heard in public. The Williamson case draws attention to the importance of children's rights. Rights are also an important advocacy tool, a weapon which can be e…

The Theory and Prevention of Genocide
The development of a social-scientific theory of genocide has been neglected by most social scientists, viewed with suspicion by several Holocaust scholars, and advanced in a fragmentary and confused manner by those few scholars who have committed themselves to this task. This paper attempts to clarify the problems which confront those attempting a social theory of genocide and proposes solutions which, while recognising a necessary pluralism in …
A Theory of Terrorist Leadership (and its Consequences for Leadership Targeting)
States often target terrorist leaders with the belief that the leader's death or capture will cause the terrorist organization to collapse. Yet the history of this strategy of "leadership targeting" provides a mixed record-for every example of effectiveness, there are similar examples of ineffectiveness. The central question of this article is: what makes a terrorist leader important? Specifically, what does a terrorist leader do that no one else…
Human rights, democracy and ‘Asian values
There is a widespread belief, both in Asia and in the West, that an ‘Asian challenge’ to the idea of universal human rights on the basis of ‘Asian values’ has become an important force in international relations. However, the nature of this challenge and even its very existence are subject to much confusion. The principal source of this confusion is the lack of consensus among Asians about the character of Asian values and how they are related to…
The Sources of Terrorist Financing
Terrorism costs money. Although the costs of specific operations may be relatively inexpensive, terrorist organizations require much larger budgets in order to function. But how do terrorist groups acquire funding? What explains the variation in the particular sources used by different groups? This article develops a theory of terrorist financing that identifies criteria by which we can evaluate the different sources of terrorist funding, particu…

Can we Conquer Child Abuse if we don’t Outlaw Physical Chastisement of Children
Initially, this paper was delivered as a keynote address at the 17 th ispcan International Congress held in Hong Kong in 2008. It addresses the question: Can we conquer child abuse if we don’t first outlaw physical punishment of children? It is argued that children’s low status in society and children’s less than optimal development are inextricably linked to corporal punishment in childhood, as is the physical abuse of children that all too freq…
The Industrial Revolution and the Regional Geography of England
Anyone who is familiar with John Langton's writings on English historical geography will have viewed his latest contribution to the field (Trans. 1984, pp. 145-167) with consummate interest and expectation. In the event such sentiments are well rewarded, for in 'The industrial revolution and the regional geography of England' we find a set of arguments which more than any previous contribution to the debate set out the innate justice of a geograp…

Democracy, Al Qaeda, and the Causes of Terrorism
How will the strategy of spreading democracy affect the threat of terrorism from Al Qaeda and likeminded Islamic extremist groups? This article analyzes how spreading democracy would impact four different sets of underlying motivations that lead to this kind of terrorism. It will show that the widespread belief in the power of democracy is likely misplaced because democracy will be unlikely to change perceptions of occupation, will itself threate…

Taking Children's Rights More Seriously
This article argues that the conditions experienced by many children make it important that their rights should be taken seriously. Rights are important if children are to be treated with equality and as autonomous beings. This means believing that anyone's autonomy is as significant as anyone else's. This article examines arguments supporting this position and applies it to the UN convention
Is a Political Science of Human Rights Possible
The political science of human rights rests on a philosophical contradiction. The contemporary conception of human rights derives from the ‘classical’ conception of natural rights, which was based on the philosophy of natural law. Modern social science derives from nineteenth-century positivism, which arose precisely to refute the philosophy of natural tow, and to exclude the concept of natural rights from scientific discourse. The concept of hum…
Democracy and Dynamite
The right to self-determination is a potent and paradoxical political concept. It is associated with democracy, xenophobia and anarchy. Its explosive potential was more or less held in check during the Cold War by an international consensus that restricted it to the context of decolonization. The unravelling of the Soviet Union and the break-up of Yugoslavia have demonstrated the inadequacy of the available theory and practice. Various recent app…

The right to self-determination in international politics
The principle of the self-determination of peoples is enshrined in the United Nations Charter and based on liberal and democratic values. However, the international community has, until recently, interpreted this principle very restrictively, so that it has amounted to little more than the right to be free from European colonialism. The collapse of the USSR and Yugoslavia, as well as persistent ethno-nationalist conflicts around the world, have p…

The Right to Be Heard
Children need to be taken seriously. In defending children's right to be heard, Michael Freeman argues for a cultural revolution in attitudes to childhood. Using several cases as examples, he takes a critical look at the meaning of ‘competence’ in relation to legal and judicial processes and how these fail to encourage the active participation of children in decision-making. The impact of specific legislation and the UN Convention on the Rights o…
Human Rights and Real Cultures
Despite the re-affirmation of the universality of human rights at the UN World Conference in 1993, the principle of universality has continued to be called in question by reference to ‘Asian values’ by political leaders and intellectuals in the economically successful societies of South-East Asia. This is, however, only a new manifestation of the well-known problem of ‘cultural relativism’. The author seeks to clarify the principles that underlie…

Edmund Burke and the Sociology of Revolution
A sociological theory of revolution can be found in the writings of Edmund Burke. This is important because modern sociologists of revolution have neglected Burke in surveying their predecessors; because the modern sociology of revolution has evaded some of the key questions about revolution raised in classical political theory; and because many influential writers on Burke have misrepresented and gravely underrated his theory of revolution. This…

Doing His Best to Sustain the Sanctity of Marriage
Freeman's paper deals with marital rape, a specific form of marital violence which has been virtually ignored in the literature on violence against women. Battering and rape, the author argues, are closely related and frequently occur together. Both forms of violence stem from a patriarchal society designed to protect the interests of men and maintain male dominance. At present men who rape their wives are immune from prosecution in England. This…

Genocide and social science
The Nazis’ ‘race war’ against the Jews led Raphael Lemkin to coin the term ‘genocide’. The concept was intended as a generic one but there is disagreement among scholars about how and when it should be applied and how the concept is related to that of the Holocaust. Social science might be able to help clarify these problems but its achievements so far have only been modest

The Ideologies of Children's Rights
It is often said that you can judge a society by the way it treats its weaker members. This book takes this theme and examines the ways in which different aspects of children's lives are treated in a number of societies. To this end it uses the conduit of children's rights. The importance of children's rights as an ideology and in practice is critically examined by a group of academics and practitioners with an international reputation and wide e…

This article traces the developing recognition of children's rights, both at an international and national level. The UN Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959 and the UN Convention thirty years later provide a context within which a child's right to self‐determination and autonomy have gradually become more central. The tensions between listening to children's views and the welfare of the child are examined, in relation to the Children A…

Where mother and child are both children
Where mother and child are both children MICHAEL FREEMAN Legislation in many countries directs courts to regards a child's welfare as paramount so that the furtherance of a child's best interests should be the decisive consideration. But what happens when the parent is also a child? Are her interests also paramount? And, if so, suppose what is best for her is not also best for her child? This problem must have arisen many times but it is rare for…
