A case study of Jeffery Dahmer, Milwaukee Cannibal sexual homicide was analyzed for the purpose of this research. Clinicians are often caught in the dilemma of helping offenders succeed in a society that will not allow them to achieve success and may actively conspire against successful reintegration. Despite the vast knowledge about serial killers, it is still uncertain why they kill. Undoubtedly, many factors enable individuals to perform such acts without remorse, including biological and neuropsychological factors, such as being bombarded by images that glamorize violence daily. Thus, the clinician/ social workers must struggle to find ways to help his or her clients practice their new skills in a society that does not want the offender and takes active steps to ostracize and humiliate offenders, which in turn leads to former offenders experiencing further isolation and a loss of hope.","PeriodicalId":41986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scottish Historical Studies","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81118052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During this period, female teachers and students working for the CSRDE adopted and promoted electrical appliances, fostering enthusiasm for electrification among women living in the north of Scotland. Notably, at the Highland Show in 1935, students from the CSRDE entertained thousands of visitors by demonstrating appliances from an ‘all-electric’ kitchen, stimulating a trend for domestic electrical displays at future Highland Shows. Significantly, this article adds to the historiography of the electrification of Scotland, which has hitherto been dominated by male actors. Beyond Scotland, scholars have argued that affluent urban women framed electrification as an opportunity for liberation from the domestic sphere. However, using the records from the CSRDE, I recover the overlooked attitudes of rural women and show that they did not conceive of electrical appliances in the same light. This article provides an insight into the vital, yet forgotten, mediating role that rural women performed between the electrical industry and consumers.","PeriodicalId":41986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scottish Historical Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49181117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Historians typically present the conflict in binary terms relating to its status as either part of one English colony or another; namely, was Kent Island part of the Virginia colony or was it part of the Maryland colony? There was, however, a third interpretation – that Kent Island was not part of an English colony at all but, rather, an independent Scottish trading outpost. This article examines the basis for this alternative interpretation. It was a pivotal issue in the contemporary debate as the initial European occupation of the island was predicated on the rights conveyed in a royal licence granted under the Scottish privy signet. Taking that grant as its starting point, the article analyses the ways in which the 1603 union of the crowns affected colonisation stemming from the British Isles under the Stuart monarchs. The Kent Island controversy is one example of the ‘Scottish complication’ that was present in many colonial endeavours traditionally thought of as solely English. 1","PeriodicalId":41986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scottish Historical Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44163280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The influenza pandemic of 1918–19 was also caused by a novel virus which had crossed the species boundary and led to seventy million deaths world-wide. The historiography of the epidemic in Britain tends towards a national perspective with few regional studies. This article provides a regional perspective by studying the epidemic in Glasgow. The study will identify the likely source of initial infection and the impact of the disease and will also consider the public and the municipal health authority responses to the epidemic. Finally, there will be an assessment on whether this most fatal of diseases left a lasting legacy. It will be suggested that infection probably arrived on a transatlantic ship and that some 6,000 to 7,000 died comprising all age groups and across the social spectrum. The article will conclude that the influenza epidemic in Glasgow, in the context of the prevailing poor state of public health, was a serious, rather than a catastrophic, outbreak of disease and that it quickly receded in the public consciousness.","PeriodicalId":41986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scottish Historical Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42646130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Earl’s retirement to Dryburgh has been seen less as a retreat from his high public profile as the founder of the Society of Antiquaries and more as a continuation both of his antiquarian and political interests. Indeed, landscape features such as the Temple of the Muses to the poet James Thomson and especially the giant statue to William Wallace have been viewed recently as part of a highly political nationalist-historic romantic landscape. While confirming the essentially political nature of these monuments, this article will explore an alternative whig and unionist reading of them. At the same time, although highlighting the continuity of Buchan’s antiquarian agenda, it will attempt to show how this gradually merged with a wide range of the Earl’s more personal enthusiasms such as Horace Walpole’s Strawberry Hill, classical antiquity and the beaux arts of London’s Royal Academy to form a distinctive second summer to his career.","PeriodicalId":41986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scottish Historical Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48637283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article explores firstly, how this transformation came about, from the celebration of the warrior society the Gàidhealtachd appeared to be, to the personal identification with the Gael's martial self. Secondly, this article establishes how and why the ordinary Highland man embraced this military identity. As the voice of the eighteenth-century Gael is rather difficult to trace, the life and oeuvre of Donnchadh Bàn Mac an t-Saoir (Duncan Bàn MacIntyre) is used to represent his fellow Highlanders. Donnchadh Bàn spent his entire adult life carrying arms and was a life-long proponent of the military masculinity the Gael displayed. Especially his enlistment in the Breadalbane Fencibles provides a unique insight. When his fervour for the Gael's warrior masculinity is checked against the many letters from the tenants on the Breadalbane estate, it is not a picture of an innately warrior masculinity that emerges, but one of a man choosing a temporary military path to hunt down economic security and independence.","PeriodicalId":41986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scottish Historical Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49075578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper also deals with the nature of early education in the area, the relationship that existed among Mill Hill Mission schools and lastly, the educational developments at Nyabondo Boys Secondary School. \u0000Methodology: Being a historical study, the historical method of inquiry into the past was adopted. Primary sources of data consulted included oral testimonies of actual participants or witnesses of events in Kisumu County. Other primary sources used were archival documents either personal or institutional such as correspondences, photographs, mission publications, minutes of meetings and colonial government annual reports. The main secondary sources utilized were published and unpublished articles and books. The oral interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using qualitative method. \u0000Results: The study findings demonstrated that the spread of Western education and Christianity in Kisumu County led to social transformation of the Luo from traditional to modern practices. The findings further revealed that African catechists played a great role in the development of Western education and Christianity in Kisumu County. It can be concluded that, M.H.M played a vital role on the growth and development of secondary education in Kisumu County through the establishment of Nyabondo Boys Secondary School. The historical growth and development of the school from 1935 to 1985 can be greatly attributed to the activities of the M.H.M as well as the roles that Africans played in supporting the missionaries establish the school in the region. The establishment of the school in return was instrumental to a positive transformation of Nyabondo community and beyond to the Kenyan nation.","PeriodicalId":41986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scottish Historical Studies","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76514468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rather, it existed in a world where examples, and precedents, inspired a range of remonstrations, and official duties.
