Abstracts of Current Research :

Victims of terrorism: This research examines the personal social services and the social assistance programs designed to help individuals and families who lost their dear ones in a hostile (terrorist) act. The research focuses on the definition, nature and size of the target population, the different entitlements offered to victims, survivors and their dependents. It focuses on state and voluntary services that help civilians have suffered physical and mental injuries, loss of income or damage to their property as a result of an act of terrorism. The study includes an evaluation of these programs from the victims' perspective.

Local welfare bureausserving crime victims: The policy and administration of personal social services –:Israeldoes not yet have a program designed to assist crime victims. When in need, police and other agencies tend to refer crime victims to the local welfare bureaus. The study examines how local welfare bureaus  meet crime victims, including victims of serious crimes and provide them with the necessary personal social services. Service provision to this group is associated with considerable discretion. No legal "right" to such victims exists and no entitlements are formally ascribes. The study examines differences between local authorities in the provision and funding of personal social services to people who were criminally victimized.

Restorative Justice – Victim offender conferencing program adopted by the youth probation services.  This study examines the Israeli experience in applying restorative justice principles in the youth probation services. What began as an experiment in one town became a state wide project, applying various types of conferencing to engage crime victims and offenders in a dialogue, aimed at applying ‘re-integrative shaming’ principles, reducing re-offending by the perpetrators and empowering crime victims. Unique evidence emerges from multi-cultural conferencing experience where victims and offenders, coming from different communities in Israel, engage in a joint process, led by the probation services.

The personal expenses of people who were criminally victimized. People who were criminally victimized, face themselves, and their families, a significant reduction in their earnings and a loss of income. Furthermore, because of the different traumas involved, crime victims have to pay, themselves, for the different medical, mental and rehabilitation services that they need. The study includes families who lost a member in a man-slaughter case, women who suffered violence and fled to a refuge themselves, sometime with their children, and others who were  criminally victimized. The study focuses on the direct and indirect (short and long-term) costs that these victims faced.

Abstracts of Current Research :

Holocaust stories of Roma (Gypsies) from Hungary: practices of memory and interpretation.Retelling the untold story of the life events of the Roma from Hungary during the Holocaust creates a link to their practices of memory and interpretation. Practices such retelling events to a large or an intimate audience, building monuments and visitation habits, memorial days, composing and reciting lamentations etc. are all activities derived from the memory and its interpretation. At the same time they construct the memory. These practices both drive the relationship between the personal and the collective and also between the inner reality of "being" and the external reality of "doing". The various memories and interpretations are analyzed in the social and cultural contexts of those remembering and interpreting - Roma from Hungary whose narrative became the basis of a common story, meaningful for the collective.

Individual and collective memory.An analysis of the construction and reconstruction of memory in a socio-political context and of the relationship between story and history. The role of memory in rehabilitation after a massive traumatic experience is examined with respect to the Holocaust, the destinies of the Roma and Sinti in Europe and the Naqba - the story of the Palestinian Arabs in 1948.

Practice and theory in social work and social work training. Social Work students' satisfaction with their Field Instruction and the problems of integrating knowledge of practice and theoretical concepts in social work and social work training.

Addictions.Drug addiction history, background characteristics and treatment plans of substance abuse clients at an out-patient service for people with addictions problems
