Crime Scene Investigation Laboratory Workbook
by Patrick Jones and Trevor Stamper
The book presents lab exercises that place crime scene investigation into the overarching context of forensic science, separating what evidence and information can be derived from the crime scene and preliminary tests, versus advanced drug, ballistics, and other such testing back at the lab. This is to clearly distinguish those individuals who collect the evidence from those who solely work within the lab analyzing. The book presents lab exercises that can be completed within two-hour windows wh...

A Rhetorical Crime (Genocide, Political Violence, Human Rights)
by Anton Weiss-Wendt
The Genocide Convention was drafted by the United Nations in the late 1940s, as a response to the horrors of the Second World War. But was the Genocide Convention truly effective at achieving its humanitarian aims, or did it merely exacerbate the divisive rhetoric of Cold War geopolitics? A Rhetorical Crime shows how genocide morphed from a legal concept into a political discourse used in propaganda battles between the United States and the Soviet Union. Over the course of the Cold War era, nea...
Introduction to Criminal Justice (Softcover)
by Robert M. Bohm and Keith N Haley
It happens all too often: The vague images of a poor quality video from a surveillance camera splash across the screen in a darkened courtroom and the guilt or innocence of the defendant hinges on whether or not the jury can determine if he or she is really the person in those images. Interpretation and misinterpretation of information about imaging in general, and digital image manipulation in computers in particular, by expert witnesses on both sides, and by counsel who ask questions that are...

Policing and Public Management takes a new perspective on the challenges and problems facing the governance of police forces across the UK and the developed world. Complementing existing texts in criminology and police studies, Morrell and Bradford draw on ideas from the neighbouring fields of public management and virtue ethics to open the field up to a broader audience. This forms the basis for an imaginative reframing of policing as something that either enhances or diminishes "the public goo...
This richly detailed study examines the English criminal trial and the nature and scope of the most prevalent felonies during the period c. 1300-1550. There is particular emphasis on the accusation process (studied in depth here for the first time, showing how it was, in effect, a trial within a trial); the discovery of a veritable revolution in conviction rates between the early fifteenth century and the later sixteenth (why this revolution occurred is explained in detail); the nature and scop...

by United States Government Us Army
Honour based violence and abuse manifests itself in different forms, and this book offers a comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon.
