WORKING THESIS
Suicide has negatively affected the society, and unless there are mitigation strategies to curb this menace, it will continue to take the lives of many people in the society.Comment by Spencer Ellsworth: This is a good subject, but the thesis needs a little work. “Mitigation” is really generalized. Maybe more like “early intervention and general support are needed to help
EXPLANATION
Suicide is the act of human beings voluntarily taking their lives. Research has shown that it has always been caused by a sense of despair or hopelessness. All these issues may be induced by mental illness which may include Bipolar disorder or even depression. Suicide has been traumatizing and shameful to the bereaved families and many people in the society have always viewed it as a cowardice cowardly way of taking one’s life. Many suicidal persons have been haunted by their thoughts. I in many cases this is depicted as a very personal process (Goldsmith, Pellmar, Kleinman & Bunney, 2002).Comment by Spencer Ellsworh: Citations for this. Also, maybe consider that it is often an outgrowth of chronic disease or chronic pain.
In this paper, it is very much possible to look at what suicide is and the risk factors associated with suicide. It is also recommended in the research paper to dwell on mental disorder and substance abuse as risk factors that contribute to suicide as well as medical conditions and psychosocial states. The media and how it depicts suicide is also very important to research on as well as the rational suicide is a controversial statement in this topic. We will have the chance to look at the suicide methods and pathophysiology which is very important to note. After all these, prevention will be a key topic to note which involves screening for mental illness. It will also be possible to research on epidemiology, social and culture based on legislation and religious views and all about philosophy, advocacy, locations and some notable cases of suicide.Comment by Spencer Ellsworh: Fairly awkward sentence.Comment by Spencer Ellsworh: To make a good argumentation paper, you’ll have to focus on where intervention is failing right now, and how intervention can work more effectively. It’ll make for a great paper, but it’ll involve some legwork with current practices and funding of mental health intervention by federal and state governments.
SUB POINTS
Many people in the society are very much scared of taking away their lives and they are actually left to wonder how one can voluntarily manage to be suicidal. Some may be caused by illnesses with some visible symptoms and various ways to mitigate this act is by careful observation of these people. People in high risk of committing suicide often have mood disorders and .

Key words: bullying; sensitive children; victims.
The invitation to write this paper raised a number of difficulties
for me. I was aware, of course, that what was in the frame of
discussion was the behaviour of children. Secondly, the major
focus is on the protection of anxious children from other chil-
dren with conduct difficulties or just garden-variety playground
insensitivity. There are some excellent websites that address
these issues1 and some recent Finnish longitudinal research2,3
that is the first of its kind, which broadly summarised says the
following:
1 There is a substantial increase in psychopathology in both
young men and women almost two decades after being fre-
quently bullied at age 8 years, with anxiety disorders,
depression and conduct disorder, all increased.
2 There is a substantial increase in psychopathology for both
young men and women almost two decades after doing the
bullying at age 8 years.
3 There is a substantial increase in suicide attempts and com-
pleted suicide in young adult women who have been fre-
quently bullied even after adjusting for depression and
conduct disorder.
4 There were increased rates of suicide and attempted suicide
in young men (including bullies, victims and boys who were
both bullies and victims at age 8 years), but the increase
disappeared when depression and conduct disorder were
taken into account.
There are at least five main emphases in the management of
bullying, which include the following:
1 Special targeting of girls who are frequently victimised for
prevention programmes may reduce completed suicide in
young adult women by up to 10%.3
2 Teaching children ways to avoid being bullied is likely to
be more effective than attempting to reducing bullying
behaviour.4
3 Teaching problem-solving skills and positive interaction skills
are likely to be as, or more, helpful than programmes that
emphasise rules and consequences to discourage bullying.4
4 Most interventions help a little if implemented thoroughly.
Most are not implemented thoroughly.
5 Cyber bullying must now be considered as part of the spec-
trum of bullying behaviour.1
However, I would like to be strategically obtuse for a moment
in order to address the problem without respect to children
alone and without the inevitable recourse to vulnerable targets
and less obviously, vulnerable perpetrators. These areas have
been discussed for so long in the literature and in the popular
wisdom that I do not believe I have anything new to offer.
Over the last 3 years, I have been working in the juvenile
detention centres in New South Wales, where around 400 chil-
dren at any one time, aged 10–18 years, are detained on remand
or with custodial orders. Over 90% are male and 50–60% indig-
enous. Those 20% with severe mental illness have an almost
90% recidivi.

UNICEF has highlighted how children suffer violence throughout all stages of childhood and adolescence, in different contexts, and often at the hands of people they trust and interact with on a daily basis.
Violent corporal punishment, 300 million children between 2 and 4 years old in the world regularly suffer violence from their family/guardians (about 3 out of 4), 250 million of these are punished physically (about 6 out of 10).
Sexual violence, Sexual violence occurs against children of all ages: 15 million girls aged 15 to 19 have experienced incidents of sexual violence in their lives, and 2.5 million young women in 28 European countries report having suffered episodes of sexual violence before the age of 15.

Self-harm and suicide in adolescents
Keith Hawton, Kate E A Saunders, Rory C O’Connor
Self-harm and suicide are major public health problems in adolescents, with rates of self-harm being high in the teenage
years and suicide being the second most common cause of death in young people worldwide. Important contributors to
self-harm and suicide include genetic vulnerability and psychiatric, psychological, familial, social, and cultural factors.
The eff ects of media and contagion are also important, with the internet having an important contemporary role.
Prevention of self-harm and suicide needs both universal measures aimed at young people in general and targeted
initiatives focused on high-risk groups. There is little evidence of eff ectiveness of either psychosocial or pharmacological
treatment, with particular controversy surrounding the usefulness of antidepressants. Restriction of access to means for
suicide is important. Major challenges include the development of greater understanding of the factors that contribute
to self-harm and suicide in young people, especially mechanisms underlying contagion and the eff ect of new media.
The identifi cation of successful prevention initiatives aimed at young people and those at especially high risk, and the
establishment of eff ective treatments for those who self-harm, are paramount needs.
Introduction
Adolescent self-harm is a major public health concern.
Although suicide is uncommon in adolescents compared
with non-fatal self-harm, it is always a tragic outcome, and
prevention of suicide in young people is under standably a
focus of national strategies for suicide prevention. In this
paper, we discuss self-harm and suicide in adolescents in
terms of epidemiology (especially international diff er-
ences); developmental aspects of self-harm, including
short-term and long-term outcomes; factors that contribute
to the behaviour; and treatment and prevention. This is a
selective paper directed at any professional with an interest
in adolescent suicide and self-harm. We have two aims: to
provide a synthesis of the evidence for adolescent self-
harm and suicide and to identify key areas of uncertainty.
Only a small proportion of individuals who self-harm

Problem Statement
Several adults struggle from a variety of mental health issues (suicidal thoughts and tendencies, alcoholism, depression, and drug abusers.) A lot of those issues may stem from what took place during an adult’s childhood that stem from a variety of reasons. Some adults seek help and some refuse to seek help. The adults who do seek help come to realize that their current issues stem from when they were a child and still developing as a human. Child abuse can come in many forms, physical, mental, and sexual. Adults who have been exposed or experienced this are likely to suffer from some form of mental health issue. It is important to figure out the root of mental health issues in adults so the root can be addressed. Children need to be in a healthy environment with nothing short of love and care. Exposing children to a harsh reality is only breeding them into an adult who suffers from mental health issues.
Literature Review
The study of psychology helps researchers to understand better what is going on with a person. Researchers studied what happened in a person's life that causes them to make the decisions they do and behave in a certain way. Adults have this stigmatism that they can do whatever they want because they are "grown." Many adults suffer from something that can cause to lead towards suicidal thoughts and tendencies, alcoholism, depression, and drug abusers. A lot of those issues may stem from what took place during an adult’s childhood. There could be some reasons adults tend to display certain mental health traits that have been studied in many different forms by researchers. What we will be reviewed is the abuse, physical or mental, that an adult endured as a child and how it affects them in their adulthood.
Blanco, C., Grant, B. F., Hasin, D. S., Lin, K. H., Olfson, M. Sugaya, L. (2012) recognized that child physical abuse had been associated with an increased risk of suicide attempts. The study conducted included Blacks, Hispanics and young adults between the ages of 18-24 in 2001-2002 and 2004-2005. In person, interviews were conducted in Wave 1. In Wave 2 used similar methods as Wave 1 but it excluded the individuals who were not eligible. Wave 2 also interviews went into depth about the questions asked for the participants first 17 years of life. There are many other variables that have been added to the data that relate to childhood physical abuse and mental health distress in adult years. Those other adversatives included the history of child sexual abuse and neglect, parental psychopathology, and perceived parental support, described as emotional neglect.
The advantages to this design would be the inclusion of other childhood adversities that could contribute to adult psychiatri.

Research Review: The Impact of Domestic
Violence on Children
Dr John Devaney1
Summary: This paper reviews the research on the prevalence and impact of
domestic violence on children, and considers how professionals should respond to
children’s needs to best provide support and ensure their safety.
Keywords: domestic violence, impact on children, child abuse, coping mechanisms,
brain development, toxic stress, interventions, child protection.
Introduction
Domestic violence is a significant problem for those whose life is affected
by this issue, the social, health and criminal justice agencies that respond
to it, and wider society that must bear the costs. Whilst domestic violence
is not a new phenomenon, the past thirty years has seen increas-
ing public awareness and a growing political consensus that something
needs to be done, even if what should be done is less clear (Holt and
Devaney, 2015). Over time our understanding about the presentation,
dynamics and impact of domestic violence has developed, resulting in the
need to define what is it that society needs to tackle. This, however, has
not been a trouble free endeavour, with definitions and understanding of
violence varying across research studies, regions and cultural settings
(European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, 2014). In Northern
Ireland domestic violence (also referred to as domestic abuse or intimate
partner violence in the literature) has been defined as:
Threatening, controlling, coercive behaviour, violence or abuse
(psychological, physical, verbal, sexual, financial or emotional) inflicted

orientation) by a current or former intimate partner or family member.
(Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety and
Department of Justice, 2013)
In a British Crime Survey it was reported that half of those who suffered
domestic violence in the previous year were living with a child aged
sixteen years or younger (Mirrlees-Black, 1999). Within the United
Kingdom it is estimated that up to one million children have been
exposed to domestic violence (UNICEF, 2006). Yet in spite of these
stark statistics there has been, until recently, a systemic failure by public
agencies to appreciate that the presence of domestic violence should be
an indicator of the importance of assessing the needs of children to both
support and protection when living in the same household as the victim.
This article seeks to summarise the key messages from the research
literature on the prevalence and impact of domestic violence on children,

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
Trauma experiences in the backgrounds of violent young offenders - Gywneth Boswell
1. Trauma experiences in the backgrounds of
violent young offenders
Professor Gwyneth Boswell
Boswell Research Fellows & School of
Rehabilitation Sciences, UEA, Norwich
2. The central question of my research
over 22 years has been ‘Why do young
people become violent?’
The identification of trauma experiences in their
backgrounds has become a key feature. But a wider
background to the research needs to be invoked for
developing understanding in:
Professional contexts
Societal contexts
Global contexts

3. Violence & murder by children & young
people
Became high profile in the UK in early 1990s following the
murder of 2-year old James Bulger by two 10-year old boys.
Memorable blurred video image of child being led away by his
killers.
Little attempt made to understand the boys’ behaviour – they
were labelled ‘evil’.
Punishment and retribution rather than child welfare were the
models of justice applied.
The trial Judge carried into the courtroom the artefacts of the
death penalty.
The boys were sentenced to a minimum tariff of 15 years (later
reduced to 8 by European Court) longer than they had yet lived.
December 9, 2013
g.boswell@uea.ac.uk
4. Other cases of murder by children and
young people around the world
US – the Colorado school killings by two 11-year olds.
South Africa – the brutal killing and gang-rape of a 14 year-old
girl by a 15-year old boy and four adults.
Recent case of gang-rape and murder of a 23-year old woman
on a bus in India by a 17-year old boy and 5 adults.
All caused public outcry and in South Africa a petition for the
return of the death penalty, abolished by Nelson Mandela’s
Government at the end of Apartheid. In India the adults did
receive the death penalty.
In Rwanda, children and young people were imprisoned for
genocide crimes; they and the communities to which they would
return remained traumatized and fearful.

5. Other powerful media projections of
violence perpetrated upon children
Child abuse – consistent impact via public inquiry, and a ‘nowin’ situation for professionals. A highly emotive issue which
touches us all.
Primacy of violence demonstrated across the world in
military/religious architecture, statues, art, music, press/TV
coverage of more than 300 wars since WWII.
Violence also enshrined in some justice systems – torture and
capital punishment.
Victims of child labour & prostitution are treated violently
across both the underdeveloped and developed worlds (Save the
Children, 2007)
Physical violence in families frequently seen as normal (Gelles
& Strauss, 1988) – at turn of Millennium, UK government chose
not to make smacking illegal
These images produce confusing models for young people
moving through developmental stages.

6. Two studies for the Prince’s Trust
Initial study into needs and experiences of 25 section 53
(1) & (2) offenders (C&YP Act 1933, now sec. 90 & 91,
Powers of the Criminal Courts [Sentencing] Act 2000.
Suggested high prevalence of abuse and traumatic loss in
young offenders’ lives. Second study sought to establish a
reliable figure for this. (Boswell 1996)
Method of 2nd study was to examine 200 centrally-held
files, to note down professionally-confirmed evidence of
child abuse & loss and, where this was partial or
ambiguous, to interview the young people themselves.
72% had experienced abuse – emotional 28.5%; sexual
29%; organized/ritual 1.5%; combinations 27%
57% had experienced significant loss via bereavement
or cessation of contact, usually with a parent
December 9, 2013
g.boswell@uea.ac.uk
7. Further abuse & loss findings
In only 18 out of 200 cases studied were there no
reported evidences of abuse and/or loss. In other words,
the total number of Section 53 offenders who had
experienced one or both phenomena was 91%.
The total number who had experienced both abuse and
loss was 35%, suggesting that the presence of a double
childhood trauma may be a potent factor in the lives of
violent young offenders.
Unresolved trauma is likely to manifest itself in some
way at a later date.
Many children become depressed, disturbed, violent or
all three, girls tending to internalize and boys to externalize
their responses (American Psychiatric Association 2013)

8. Case studies of Darren and George
Their cases highlight early abuse and loss which had
not come to light before they committed violent
offences.
It is not suggested that child abuse and loss are the
only potential causes of violent offending or that every
abused child becomes an offender
But abuse and loss are sufficiently prevalent for the
questions always to be asked.
Research evidence backs this up (Smith & McVie 2003;
Lösel & Bender, 2006)

9. Evaluation of an enhanced YOI unit for
the Youth Justice Board (Boswell,
Wedge & Price, 2003)
Largely positive findings but used test for post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD-1, ) for the first time in YOI research
Test asks whether respondent has experienced an
unusual, extremely distressing event. Affirmative answers
trigger more detailed questions around 4 further criteria:
Is the traumatic event persistently re-experienced?
Does the person persistently avoid associated stimuli or
experience numbing of general responsiveness?
Are there persistent symptoms of increased arousal?
Have symptoms persisted for 28 days before
diagnosis?
December 9, 2013
g.boswell@uea.ac.uk
10. PTSD findings from Enhanced YOI Unit
study
Of 21 young men interviewed twice with an average gap of 9
months, one fifth (4) scored +tive for current PTSD at 1st interview
but only 2 by time of 2nd interview. They cited bullying, military
conflict, terrifying dreams and, for one, the violent offence he
himself had committed.
Three scored +tive for ‘lifetime’ (previous) PTSD.
If 6 others had scored higher on one indicator, they would have
reached diagnosis for current or lifetime PTSD.
Several of those not found to have PTSD nevertheless cited
bullying, violent racism & witnessing death as significant problems
in their lives.
December 9, 2013
g.boswell@uea.ac.uk
11. The usefulness of PTSD testing
Case studies of Ben & Jennifer suggest that testing
would have helped them progress in their custodial
careers, but the cases also suggest that if the
trauma had been recognised at a much earlier age,
they, like Darren and George, would probably not
have ended up serving many years in custody.
Where PTSD is not found, or indeed where young
people experiencing trauma have not offended, it
may be that one or both of the main protective
factors have promoted resilience in the young
person. These are education; and being listened to,
believed, and helped by a responsible adult person.

12. So what are the ways forward?
We have said these things many times but they always
bear repeating:
1.The age of criminal responsibility should be raised to 14
in line with most other European countries
2.The UN Riyadh guidelines state that custody should be a
last resort for young people
3.Professionals need to be equipped with a firm knowledge
base about trauma and how to recognise it
4.Young people who have been abused need communities
which support them by making it more acceptable for them
to report abuse and other trauma
5.There is a need for full integration of research
programmes into policy formation & effective application in
the CJS.

13. Conclusion
Research-mindedness can help professionals to
represent not only their own views but those of the
public, victims and their families, and the youthful
perpetrators themselves, moving society towards a
greater sense of collective responsibility in the process
Our responses to young offenders can in this way
become more proactive, confident and accurate within
the very complex child welfare/youth justice arena,
highlighting that:
The victim and the offender are frequently located in
one single damaged young person.
