The study examined the ever expanding roles of secondary school principals in Nigeria. This is because the leadership and administrative acumen of secondary school principals is an important determining factor of the extent to which schools achieve their set out goals and objectives. It further assessed and investigated how principals of secondary schools today can meet up with the challenges of this 21stCentury. The outcome of the study showed that principals need to be up – to – date in terms of today's administration and management practices. Effective administration and management is also important for creating the enabling environment to enhance the achievement of maximum performance of both staff and students. School principals should be encouraged to perform well through their training and retraining via in-service programmes. The government can assist good administrative and managerial performance of principals by making available the required fund, personnel and material resources for optimal performance as at when due.

The ethical dimensions of historical interpretation; the blood libel as limit case -- Thomas of Monmouth and the juridical discourse of ritual murder -- Moralization and method in Gavin Langmuir's history of antisemitism -- On being implicated: Israel Yuval and the new history of medieval Jewish-Christian relations -- Beyond implication: the Ariel Toaff affair and the question of complicity

"The ritual murder accusation is one of a series of myths that fall under the label blood libel, and describes the medieval legend that Jews require Christian blood for obscure religious purposes and are capable of committing murder to obtain it. This malicious myth continues to have an explosive afterlife in the public sphere, where Sarah Palin's 2011 gaffe is only the latest reminder of its power to excite controversy. Blood Libel is the first book-length study to analyze the recent historiography of the ritual murder accusation and to consider these debates in the context of intellectual and cultural history as well as methodology. Hannah R. Johnson articulates how ethics shapes methodological decisions in the study of the accusation and how questions about methodology, in turn, pose ethical problems of interpretation and understanding. Examining recent debates over the scholarship of historians such as Gavin Langmuir, Israel Yuval, and Ariel Toaff, Johnson argues that these discussions highlight an ongoing paradigm shift that seeks to reimagine questions of responsibility by deliberately refraining from a discourse of moral judgment and blame in favor of an emphasis on historical contingencies and hostile intergroup dynamics."--Provided by publisher

Grandparents' support to families of children with disabilities is generally associated with improved parental well-being. Little research addresses the question of quantitative differences in grandparent support to families of children with and without disabilities. This article examines such differences. Data was collected on 50 mothers of children with spina bifida and 43 mothers of children without disabilities and results showed how mothers rated perceived maternal and paternal grandparent support. No differences were found between mothers of children with and without disabilities. These results confirm previous findings that grandparent support appears to be no more frequent in families of children with disabilities than in other families. These findings are discussed with reference to sampling limitations and implications for further research.

A retrospective examination of 500 child sexual abuse reports to prosecutor's offices analyzed case progress and predictors of attrition, including details about alleged perpetrator(s), victim(s), their families, and other case characteristics. Less than one in five cases proceeded to prosecution. For the full sample, we describe all outcomes and differentiate prosecutors' decisions to (a) intake/close, (b) investigate/close, or (c) prosecute; these stages comprise a 3-level dependent variable. Because it is important to understand which variables are associated with progress to each stage, we examined unique predictors of the decision to "investigate," and to "prosecute." Our multivariate analyses examine 325 cases with a perpetrator aged 16 and older. Caregiver support and perpetrator age were significant predictors across all outcome variables, while other factors were barriers to the "prosecute" decision only. Results highlight the complexities of case characteristics that are important at different stages of prosecutorial decision-making and inform future interventions.
