Abstract

Child abduction is the most widespread form of child victimization studied. In 1992 alone, a total of 27,553 cases of missing children were reported in New York State through the Missing Children Register. The majority of missing children cases involved suspected runaways. Abduction cases accounted for one percent of the total report; those committed by family members comprised the most frequent form of abduction (as opposed to abduction by strangers). In addition, 88 percent of the children reported missing were age 13 or older, 60 percent were girls, and 58 percent were white. Child abduction is a serious socio-economic problem. Until now there has been no text that addresses the incidence, psychological dimensions, and explanatory models of child abductions. This book fills a need by focusing on variables that assist in confronting and preventing child abductions, including teacher training, public education and awareness, psychotherapeutic techniques for families and friends of abducted children as well as the children themselves.

Abstract

In a remote village on the Dutch-German border, a young Catholic woman named Cunegonde tries to kidnap a baby to prevent it from being baptized in a Protestant church. When she is arrested, fellow Catholics stage an armed raid to free her from detention. These dramatic events of 1762 triggered a cycle of violence, starting a kind of religious war in the village and its surrounding region. Contradicting our current understanding, this war erupted at the height of the Age of Enlightenment, famous for its religious toleration.0This book tells in vivid detail the story of this hitherto unknown conflict. Drawing characters, scenes, and dialogue straight from a body of exceptional primary sources, it is the first microhistorical study of religious conflict and toleration in early modern Europe. In it, Benjamin J. Kaplan explores the dilemmas of interfaith marriage and the special character of religious life in a borderland, where religious dissenters enjoy unique freedoms. He also challenges assumptions about the impact of Enlightenment thought and suggests that, on a popular level, some parts of eighteenth-century Europe may not have witnessed a "rise of toleration."

Abstract

« Je viens de faire passer à l'homme qui est enfermé sous la tente un sandwich au pâté et un fruit. Il n'avait pas mangé depuis la veille au matin, il a dit : “merci.” Je sais qu'il a peur, une peur épouvantable, de celle qui vous sidère, et puis il souffre, il a mal, très mal. La nuit dernière on lui a mis la main sur une planche et on lui a coupé un doigt, j'étais là ! Et je sais encore qu'il a faim, une faim dévorante qui vous pousserait à prendre des risques. Alors l'homme qui a la main gauche bandée et une cheville entravée par une longe d'acier, qui court en dehors la tente, se décide pour le risque. Il commence par mâcher précautionneusement le sandwich, mais ça craque, il déglutit presque en silence, moi debout, immobile à côté de la toile, je l'épie et il soupçonne que je suis là, tout près. » Alain Caillol, qui fut l'un des protagonistes de l'enlèvement en janvier 1978 et de la séquestration du baron Jean-Édouard Empain, revient sur cette affaire qui défraya la chronique judiciaire et passionna la France entière pendant des mois, d'autant plus qu'une campagne de presse soigneusement orchestrée dévoila tous les supposés travers de la vie privée du baron. L'ouvrage fourmille de révélations. Ainsi, on apprend que la bande avait songéà enlever Liliane Bettencourt et avait planqué devant son domicile. On sait enfin où fut détenu le baron Empain et quelles relations étranges se nouèrent entre ses ravisseurs et lui. Un témoignage choc et un récit palpitant où l'auteur est sans complaisance avec lui-même et d'une lucidité extrême.
