Review Praise for Kelly Neudorfers book Sexual Exploitation and Abuse in UN Peacekeeping (2015): "This research is the first of its kind that analyzes risk factors and the effectiveness of prevention efforts regarding sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) in UN peacekeeping operations, by applying theories of criminology. It was able to confirm the relationship between several prevention measures and reduction of SEA allegations, and some areas that showed a potential link. The research sheds light on the unexplored area of risk and prevention of SEA, and provided useful practical clues not only for academics but also for the UN and States policy makers, as well as for managers and commanders in the field in planning their operation." —Ai Kihara-Hunt, University of Essex Review Quote Praise for Kelly Neudorfers book Sexual Exploitation and Abuse in UN Peacekeeping (2015):"This is the book we have been waiting for! Neudorfers research shows us which factors contribute to an increase in sexual exploitation and abuse in UN peacekeeping missions, and more importantly, which factors and policies can and do prevent abuse. Essential reading for anyone interested in ensuring peacekeeping operations protect the people they are sent to aid." --Dyan Mazurana, Tufts University Details ISBN3838208323 Pages 230 Year 2016 Translator Kelly Neudorfer ISBN-10 3838208323 ISBN-13 9783838208329 Format Paperback Short Title The Foreigners Guide to German Universities Language English UK Release Date 2016-09-13 Imprint ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon Place of Publication Stuttgart Country of Publication Germany Author Kelly Neudorfer Publisher ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon Edited by Albrecht Behmel DEWEY 378.43 Audience Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly Edition Description New edition Publication Date 2016-10-01 Subtitle Origin, Meaning, and Use of Terms and Expressions in Everyday University Life We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
