Book SynopsisDrawing on experiences from other jurisdictions within the UK, Criminalising Coercive Control explores the challenges and potential successes which may be faced in implementing Northern Irelandâs new domestic abuse offence.A specific offence of domestic abuse was introduced in Northern Ireland in March 2021. This represents a crucial development in Northern Irelandâs response to domestic abuse. The new legislation has the effect of criminalising coercive and controlling behaviour, thereby bringing Northern Ireland into line with other jurisdictions within the UK, and also with relevant human rights standards in this regard. The book begins with a discussion regarding the offence itself and the underpinning domestic abuse policy in Northern Ireland. Subsequent chapters explore further measures which may be needed to respond effectively to domestic abuse in Northern Ireland, by drawing upon the experiences of other jurisdictions of criminalising coercive control. These reflections are considered through the lenses of policing, prosecutorial practice and frontline domestic abuse working.Criminalising Coercive Control will be of great interest to students and scholars in a variety of fields, such as criminal law, criminology, social policy, human rights, family law, gender studies and sociology. The book is also accessible beyond academia, including practitioners and those in the voluntary sector who are working in the area of combating domestic abuse.

Book SynopsisWritten in association with the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI), and with contributions from a multitude of recognised experts led by FOGSI (2025-2026) president Sunita Tandulwadkar; the Ethical Evidence-based Recommendations (EEBR) series provides clinicians with the latest updates and advances in the field, with each book focusing on a different subspecialty. As genetics becomes a more integral part of routine medical practice, it is essential that obstetricians, gynaecologists and other health care providers are aware of advances in the understanding of genetic disease and the fundamental principles of genetic screening and molecular testing. Prenatal genetic screenings and diagnostic tests provide information about the health of a foetus. It can help families and healthcare providers make decisions about a pregnancy or the foetus. Genetic tests check for congenital conditions like Down syndrome, trisomy 13 and spina bifida.The EEBRs in this book begin with an explanation of conventional genetics and cytogenomics, followed by the basics of pedigree charting which diagrams the inheritance of a trait or health condition through generations of a family. The text goes on to discuss screening and testing, and a variety of common genetic disorders. The book concludes with a section on recent advances and research in the field. Other titles in the series include:Antenatal Fetal SurveillanceEndometriosisFibroidsHyperglycemia in PregnancyHypertensive Disorders of PregnancyInduction of LaborPolycystic Ovary SyndromePostpartum HemorrhagePreterm Labor

Book SynopsisThis innovative book concentrates on the important distinction between philosophy of medicine and medical philosophy, by expanding the focus from knowing that of the first term to the knowing how of the latter. Thus, the idea of patient and provider self-discovery becomes integral part, method, and strategy at the basis of therapeutic treatment. Among the most important contributions of this volume, the definition of Central Medicine, overcoming the dichotomy Western-Eastern medicine and Traditional-Integrative approaches, is presented under the lenses of hermeneutics, with particular regards to neurosciences, psychiatry, and psychology. Evidence-Based and Patient-Centred Medicine are analysed within the debate on placebo and non-specific effects. Furthermore, the clinical research presented in the appendix investigates the patient-doctor relationship, and the interactive nature of human relationships in general, including environment, personal beliefs, and perspectives on lifes meaning and purpose. Tomasis research covers neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and medicine. In this book, a wide array of questions and answers pertaining to these areas is presented in a clear, readable, and detailed way, satisfying the needs of professionals, students, and anyone who enjoys the exploration of the complexity of human mind, brain, and heart.
