Rising terrorism and advancing technology, as well as new strategies and investigative techniques, have stretched and stressed the traditional role of police officers. The new officer is under more and more pressure to be tough, compassionate, and understanding, as well as technologically savvy.

The chapters are derived from those articles in the online journal, Police Practice and Research, that were the most viewed by practicing police officers and police scholars.

Product Description:
Within the past 25 years, the prison population in America shot upward to reach a staggering 1.53 million by 2005. This book takes a broad, critical look at incarceration, the huge social experiment of American society. The authors investigate the causes and consequences of the prison buildup, often challenging previously held notions from scholarly and public discourse. By examining such themes as social discontent, safety and security within prisons, and impact on crime and on the labor market, Piehl and Useem use evidence to address the inevitable larger question, where should incarceration go next for American society, and where is it likely to go?

Binding:Hardcover
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product Description:
This book provides a clear, accessible yet critical introduction to how conventional criminologists in the UK, the US, the USA, and Australia, think about and do research on crime. What do we mean by ideas like ‘crime’ or ‘violence’? And is measuring crime rates actually possible? This book;
offers a thoughtful, comparative, historical account of how criminology has evolved into a modern social scientific discipline;
provides a simple framework for anyone wanting to understand criminologists, showing how it is possible to think critically about the claims made and evidence used by criminologists;
points up the value of checking the assumptions relied on by criminologists;
shows how a combination of persistent social myths and preoccupations with scientific rigour have produced simplistic explanations like ‘poverty causes crime’;
provides a lively critical counterbalance to various beliefs that obstruct more practical approaches to crime.
Outlining the key ideas, vocabulary, assumptions and findings of the discipline in a highly accessible and clear way, while opening up a set of critical underlying issues and problems, International Criminology will prove to be a valuable introduction for undergraduate students of criminology and sociology world wide, and will serve as a useful refresher for more experienced students.

Since Gary Becker's seminal article in the late sixties, the economic analysis of crime has blossomed, from an interesting side field within law and economics, into a mature stand-alone sub-discipline that has been embraced by many well-respected academic economists.

Without use of graphs or mathematical equations, Winter combines theory and empirical evidence with controversial examples from the news media.

By emphasizing the benefits and costs of social policy to deter crime, The Economics of Crime can be enjoyed by anyone who follows current public policy debate over one of society's most contentious issues.

Legal Reform and Administrative Detention Powers in China (Cambridge Studies in Law and Society)

ISBN-13 / EAN:9780521869409
Binding:Hardcover
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product Description:
Using a new conceptual framework, the author examines the processes of legal reform in post-socialist countries such as China. Drawing on Bourdieu's concept of the 'field', the increasingly complex and contested processes of legal reform are analysed in relation to police powers. The impact of China's post-1978 legal reforms on police powers is examined through a detailed analysis of three administrative detention powers: detention for education of prostitutes; coercive drug rehabilitation; and re-education through labour. The debate surrounding the abolition in 1996 of detention for investigation (also known as shelter and investigation) is also considered. Despite over 20 years of legal reform, police powers remain poorly defined by law and subject to minimal legal constraint. They continue to be seriously and systematically abused. However, there has been both systematic and occasionally dramatic reform of these powers. This book considers the processes which have made these legal changes possible.

Time, History and International Law (Developments in International Law)
By Matthew Craven, Malgosia Fitzmaurice, Maria Vogiatzi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Publisher:Martinus Nijhoff Publishers
Number Of Pages:256
Publication Date:2006-12-30
ISBN-10 / ASIN:9004154817
ISBN-13 / EAN:9789004154810
Binding:Hardcover
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Book Description:
This book examines theoretical and practical issues concerning the relationship between international law, time and history. Problems relating to time and history are ever-present in the work of international lawyers, whether understood in terms of the role of historic practice in the doctrine of sources, the application of the principle of inter-temporal law in dispute settlement, or in gaining a coherent insight into the role that was played by international law in past events. But very little has been written about the various different ways in which international lawyers approach or understand the past, and it is with a view to exploring the dynamics of that engagement that this book has been compiled.
In its broadest sense, it is possible to identify at least three different ways in which the relationship between international law and (its) history may be conceived. The first is that of a history of international law written in narrative form, and mapped out in terms of a teleology of origins, development, progress or renewal. The second is that of history in international law and of the role history plays in arguments about law itself (for example in the construction of customary international law). The third way of understanding that relationship is in terms of international law in history: of understanding how international law has been engaged in the creation of a history that in some senses stands outside the history of international law itself.
The essays in this collection make clear that each type of engagement with history and international law interweaves various different types of historical narrative, pointing to the typically multi-layered nature of international lawyers' engagement with the past and its importance in shaping the present and future of international law.

Systemic Discrimination in Employment and the Promotion of Ethnic Equality (International Studies in Human Rights)
By Ronald Craig
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Publisher:Brill
Number Of Pages:336
Publication Date:2006-12-15
ISBN-10 / ASIN:9004154620
ISBN-13 / EAN:9789004154629
Binding:Hardcover
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Book Description:
This book argues that traditional complaint-based antidiscrimination laws are inherently inadequate to respond to systemic discrimination in employment. It examines the mechanisms and characteristics of systemic discrimination and the shortcomings of complaint-based laws. Yet these characteristics can also inform employers and government authorities of the kinds of preventive action that help alleviate systemic discrimination at the workplace.
In its search for a rational government policy response to systemic discrimination, the book evaluates selected legal regimes which impose proactive obligations on employers to promote equality at the workplace. Proactive regimes are regulatory in nature, rather than adjudicatory. They induce employer compliance through technical assistance, dialogue and regulatory pressure, rather than court orders. By examining the key elements of these regimes the author explains why some proactive regimes function better than others, and why proactive regimes function better than complaint-based laws in addressing systemic discrimination.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Book Description:
In November 2005 Tilburg University hosted for the first time an international Colloquium on the European and National Perspectives of the Regulation of Gambling. The results of this exciting day are reflected in this book which brings together a wide range of perspectives from the contemporary debate surrounding the regulation of gambling markets within the context of the European Union. Not only does the book encompass both ends of the spectrum of the current discussion; it also brings together the perspectives of academics, lawyers and operators.
The debate on the regulation of gambling has been gathering pace following a series of judgments of the ECJ. In 2006 gambling was excluded from the proposed Services Directive, and the European Commission commenced infringement proceedings against a handful of Member States regarding restrictions on the supply of sports betting services. Given these developments and being one of the very few publications concerned with this topic, this book will serve as a timely and valuable contribution for all those interested in this emerging and at times decisive debate.

Practical Aspects of Rape Investigation: A Multidisciplinary Approach, Fourth Edition (CRC Series in Practical Aspects of Criminal and Forensic Investigations)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product Description:
U.S. Justice Department statistics indicate that only 26 percent of all rapes or attempted rapes are reported to law enforcement officials, and only slightly more than half of these result in the arrest of a suspect. Part of the problem lies in the public’s lack of faith in the criminal justice system’s ability to effectively deal with rape, victims, and the offenders.
Practical Aspects of Rape Investigation: A Multidisciplinary Approach, Fourth Edition presents several new research findings and forensic techniques which enable agencies to overcome past impediments to successful intervention and prosecution. This revision of the perennial bestseller adds several new chapters and expertly advances the state of knowledge for police, health professionals, rape crisis staffs, and other criminal justice professionals.
The book begins with a focus on the victim and reviews contemporary issues in the field of sexual violence, discusses the impact of sexual assault on the victim, and outlines victim care services. Then, from an investigative perspective, the book examines the relevance of fantasy, impulsive and ritualistic behavior, the personality of the offender, victim and offender interviews, geographic profiling, false allegations, and false confessions.
A discussion of forensics and the court includes topics on collection of evidence, medical examinations and treatment, and trial preparation issues. Lastly, the book examines special populations with sections on pedophiles, female and juvenile offenders, drug-facilitated rape, sexual sadism, abuse of the elderly, and the timely topic of educator misconduct.
This work was compiled by former FBI Agent Robert R. “Roy” Hazelwood and Ann Wolbert Burgess, Professor of Psychiatric Nursing at Boston College. The comprehensive text they have assembled is the definitive resource for those who must contend with the crimes of rape and other sexual assaults.
