This report arms governments with the data they need to increase the prosecution of traffickers, provide victim-centered and trauma-informed protection for victims of trafficking, and prevent this crime altogether.

Prison officials are bracing for a silver tsunami that will flood correctional facilities with elderly and often vulnerable prisoners.
Like the rest of the United States population, the prison population is aging fast. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that by 2030, people over the age of 55 will account for almost one-third of all incarcerated people. That means that American prisons will house upward of 400,000 older prisoners, about the same population of New Orleans, representing a near doubling of the number of older prisoners currently behind bars.
Caring for these elderly prisoners suffering from physical and mental frailty will create significant challenges for prisons.

The new research by Flinders University and UNSW Sydney calls for a more holistic approach to support services for women and children with disability who are at risk of domestic and family violence is needed to ensure families don't slip through the gaps.

Making health care more inclusive and accepting of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning patients means that seasoned providers and new clinical staff have opportunities to work together and bring barriers and solutions to the forefront.
That is just what two graduates of the Master of Science in Nursing program at the USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work set out to do when they collaborated with one of their professors to publish an article in the Journal for Nurse Practitioners in April 2020.

Forensic scientists at the University of Portsmouth have discovered a new way of presenting fragile evidence, by reconstructing a "jigsaw" of human bone fragments using 3D printing.
In the first known study of its kind, researchers took fragmented burnt human bones and tested the ability to make 3D models suitable to be shown to a jury in court.

Your brain handles a perceived threat differently depending on how close it is to you. If it's far away, you engage more problem-solving areas of the brain. But up close, your animal instincts jump into action and there isn't as much reasoning. And that is probably what makes it harder to extinguish the fear of a close-up threat and more likely that you'll have some long-term stress from the experience.
