When mass deportation began, Jews had only two basic means of avoiding arrest: to escape physically (flee), and/or to hide socially (blend in with the population). But how could they protect their own children? While a small proportion of the persecuted went into hiding, most of them lived out in the open, in compliance with the law or not. Rescue organizations developed, even as most Jewish children continued to attend school and synagogues remained open.


Subject Tax tensions. Significance The governors of four states joined forces on April 17 to seek a new fiscal agreement with the federal government. They argue that the 1978 Fiscal Coordination Law (also known as the Fiscal Pact), which establishes a formula by which taxes are transferred to the federal government and redistributed among Mexico’s 32 states, is unfair and that they receive only a small proportion of the resources they contribute. They intend to produce proposals to amend the law this month. Impacts The complaining governors could become leading opposition figures against AMLO and his government. AMLO’s perceived COVID-19 failings will harm his popularity, potentially benefiting governors with presidential ambitions. All states need to increase taxes to curb regional inequality, but this will be resisted by many owing to the political costs of taxation. As long as the current Fiscal Pact remains unchanged, opacity and dependency will define dealings between federal and state governments.

On the development of law (rechtsbeoefening) both practical and theoretical, a scientist Law (academics and legal practitioners) often ignore the studies of the social aspects. In this case, a scientist Law (academics and legal practitioners) are trapped and confined on the nature of Legal Studies as a normative science. Thus, the development often collide in the level of practice of law in relation to the fulfillment of public sense of justice. In fact, the law enforcement authorities, especially police investigators, based on the pattern of education, obviously prefers cultural improvement of law and override the Legal Psychology. So, almost certainly, a police investigator in carrying out its duties and functions will never escape, in fact, are still stuck with the principle inquisatoir in examinations investigation.

This book presents the definition of legal psychology as an area of specialization within general psychology and some of the applied fields that constitute the work of the professional who is concentrating on this area of expertise. Its objective is to present, indirectly, a different approach to the forensic one, which seeks to clarify, both to the expert and to the layman, that judicial court is not the only scene in which legal psychologists can work. The chapters correspond to academic products that illustrate the lines of research that have been developing in parallel with the exercise of the law and the function of justice management, related to intervention or approaching victims, criminals, witnesses and people in judicial conciliation processes, as well as intervention with children and adolescents in vulnerable social and family conditions to contribute to the restoration of their rights.

Forensic psycholinguistics is an emerging interdisciplinary subject that makes use of the psychological methods to analyze the linguistic phenomena in legal activities and therefore it is of the multiple and cross-disciplinary nature. In ancient Chinese culture there were written expressions with thoughts of foren­sic psycholinguistics and its practices. In Western countries the research started from European societies at the end of 19th cen­tury when Münsterberg and Cattell and some other scholars act­ed as the pioneers of this domain. After the WWII the research center of forensic psycholinguistics gradually moved to the Unit­ed States where the research of legal psychology and the use of psychological methods greatly facilitate the study and practic­es of forensic psycholinguistics. Its study object aims at the lin­guistic behavior in such legal activities as legislation, judicial, the obeying of the law and transgression, and its task should be the research on the behavior of the legal language in both levels of consciousness and unconsciousness. The construction of the system for forensic psycholinguistics should start from the perspectives of linguistic psychology of legislation, judicial, the enforcement and obeying of the law and the legal publicity so that a cross-cultural emerging subject with its values of prac­tical application could be created.

The existence of legal psychology makes the actual problem of the relationship between the spirit of law and the letter of the law. The author uses a spiritual and moral approach, which overcomes the formalism and shortcomings of the materialistic vision of law. When it is argued that the law can regulate only what can be controlled from the outside, make a significant mistake, because the regulatory impact of the law objectively and does not depend on whether we notice its consequences or not. Legal psychology "works" in the inner world of the individual, despite the possibility of external fixation of the process. In law-making subjects Express the legal psychology of society, including themselves. The entire Arsenal of legal equipment is formed in such a way as to facilitate the psychological perception of the addressees of acts of law. The need to interpret the law and the existence of judicial discretion also make legal psychology relevant. Legal relationship – not just external physical actions-entering into legal relations, the subjects give each other their psychological content. All sources of law reflect the national psychology of a particular people. The application of the institution of legal responsibility is entirely permeated with psychological aspects.

Along with its obligations to train men and women to serve as useful citizens, to carry on the cultural heritage of the past, and to take their places as productive members of private professions and occupations, the American university recognizes a responsibility to train students for service in federal, state, and local governments. The dimensions of this responsibility are best illustrated by the finding in 1939 that of the men graduates of the University of Minnesota between 1928 and 1936, 41.3 per cent either were or had been in government employment; for the women graduates, the proportion was 66 per cent.A relatively small proportion of students find their way into the judiciary through the avenue of law-school training and practice of the law. Another small proportion become legislators through a variety of avenues, but with the law schools again predominant in the training. The bulk of university graduates who are public servants will be found in administrative agencies. Consequently, undergraduate training for the public service places its principal emphasis on the training of students to contribute effectively as officers and employees of administrative agencies. The university, therefore, is obligated to acquaint students with the opportunities for administrative service and to guide them into courses that will prepare them for such service.

The article substantiates the need to include the most important categories of «spirit» and «spirituality» in scientific psychology. The prospects of further development of the methodology of the legal psychology of convicts based on the analysis of the spiritual essence of man is presented. A philosophical and anthropological analysis of a person’s spirituality actualizes the importance of traditional conservative approaches to considering the problem, allowing for the inclusion of theological paradigms and principles in the form of a set of reasoning samples, exegetical examples of the Holy Scriptures and other creations of the Church. From this perspective the soteriological perspective of anthropology and theology is considered in the works of russian thinkers. The article reveals the meaning of spiritual achievement in the work of saving a person and gives the position of I. A. Ilyin that there is no life outside of God, since He is the One Existing and this is the law of His Whole Being. Knowledge of this law has ultimate practical meaning not only for repentance of the crime and correction of the convicted, but also for the salvation of the soul of every person.

“My patient refuses thickened liquids, should I discharge them from my caseload?” A version of this question appears at least weekly on the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Community pages. People talk of respecting the patient's right to be non-compliant with speech-language pathology recommendations. We challenge use of the word “respect” and calling a patient “non-compliant” in the same sentence: does use of the latter term preclude the former? In this article we will share our reflections on why we are interested in these so called “ethical challenges” from a personal case level to what our professional duty requires of us. Our proposal is that the problems that we encounter are less to do with ethical or moral puzzles and usually due to inadequate communication. We will outline resources that clinicians may use to support their work from what seems to be a straightforward case to those that are mired in complexity. And we will tackle fears and facts regarding litigation and the law.
