Free Download Criminal Justice Technology In The 21st Century By Laura J. Moriarty
2005 | 334 Pages | ISBN: 0398075603 | PDF | 2 MB
Criminal Justice Technology in the 21st Century describes the ways that technology is impacting criminal justice. It is the first academic volume of its kind, and because of that, it serves as a significant primer in the literature. The book represents the concerns of criminal justice teachers, practitioners, and students, and it is presented in four parts: criminal justice education and technology, law enforcement technology, corrections technology, and criminality and technology. Students, educators, and practitioners will find this edition useful as it provides practical knowledge about different technology that is useful on many levels. The second edition contains nine new chapters. Several chapters explore the level to which faculty are using computers in their teaching. Other chapters enlighten the reader on the ways that criminal justice agencies are using the World Wide Web and automation to inform and interact with the public, hire and train staff, collect and manage data better, share data 'seamlessly,' solve field problems, and classify and track offenders. Chapters also discuss how the digital age is producing new techno-crimes whose effects are beyond comprehension. This book is inspiring reading for everyone in criminal justice. Whether one's area of interest or work is police, courts, or corrections, the essence of each chapter can be thought about and discussed as an issue being faced elsewhere in the criminal justice system.

Free Download Crime as Structured Action: Gender, Race, Class, and Crime in the Making By James W. Messerschmidt
1997 | 144 Pages | ISBN: 0761907173 | PDF | 23 MB
The author of this volume skillfully demonstrates that a vital component to understanding crime is to be able to view it as more than a single activity. James W. Messerschmidt argues that crime operates subtly through a complex series of gender, race and class practices and these interwoven elements must be seen as part of all social existence, not viewed independently.

Free Download Tom Head, "Crime And Punishment in America"
English | 2010 | pages: 432 | ISBN: 0816062471 | PDF | 15,9 mb
From the first incident of petty theft to modern media piracy, crime and punishment have been a part of every society. However, the structure and values of a particular society shape both the incidences of crime and the punishment of criminals. When the United States became an independent nation, politicians and civilians began the process of deciding which systems of punishment were appropriate for dealing with crime-a process that continues to this day. Crime and Punishment in America examines the development of crime and punishment in the United States-from the criminal justice practices of American Indians and the influence of colonists to the mistreatment of slaves, as well as such current criminal issues as the response to international terrorism.

Free Download Cribs for Victory: The Untold Story of Bletchley Park's Secret Room By Neil Webster
2011 | 160 Pages | ISBN: 0955954185 | EPUB | 2 MB
Cribs For Victory is a posthumous account of the secret code-breaking process in Bletchley Park's Fusion Room during World War II by Major Neil Webster, one of the key members of the team involved. The Fusion Room was the central unit where decrypted German messages obtained from Hut 6 were compared with the corresponding data extracted by the log readers from the daily radio traffic between enemy stations, thus enabling a complete wartime picture of the enemy order of battle to be constructed. Neil Webster's liaison role between traffic analysis and cryptography meant he was centrally involved in the search for 'cribs' - short pieces of enciphered text where the meaning is either known or can be guessed, allowing the whole cipher to be broken. His book describes this intensive search in detail, the intellectual and technical challenge, the personal stories, the setbacks and the triumphs. Security clearance for publication of his first-hand account was only granted in 2010, more than 20 years after his death. Was it too close to the real truth about how Enigma was broken and the inner workings of British intelligence? Webster's daughter, Joss Pearson, believes her father's book was just too clear, both about the relationship between signals intelligence and cryptography, and about the habits of the German military mind that opened the door to understanding Enigma.

Free Download Ivo H. Daalder, Nicole Gnesotto, Philip H. Gordon, "Crescent of Crisis: U.S.-European Strategy for the Greater Middle East"
English | 2006 | pages: 273 | ISBN: 0815716907, 0815716893 | PDF | 10,9 mb
The greater Middle East region is beset by a crescent of crises, stretching from Pakistan through Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Together, these five crises pose the most pressing security challenges faced by the United States and its European allies-ranging from terrorism and weapons proliferation to the rise of fundamentalism and the lack of democracy. Until now, Europe and the United States have approached these issues (indeed, the Middle East as a whole) in differing ways, with little effective coordination of policy. In fact, how best to deal with the greater Middle East has emerged as one of the most contentious issues in U.S.-European relations. The need for a common approach to the region is more evident than ever. This book brings together some of Europe and America's leading scholars and practitioners in an effort to develop a common approach to resolving the five major crises in the region. European and American authors provide succinct and fact-filled overviews of the different crises, describe U.S. and European perspectives on the way forward, and suggest ways in which the United States and Europe can better cooperate. In the conclusion, the editors synthesize the different suggestions into a roadmap for U.S.-European cooperation for addressing the challenges of the Greater Middle East in the years ahead. Contributors include Stephen Cohen (Brookings Institution), James Dobbins (RAND), Toby Dodge (University of London), Martin Indyk (Saban Center at Brookings), Kenneth Pollack (Saban Center at Brookings), Jean-Luc Racine (Center for the Study of India and South Asia), Barnett Rubin (New York University), Yezid Sayigh (University of Cambridge), and Bruno Tertrais (Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique).

Free Download Credit Models and the Crisis: A Journey into CDOs, Copulas, Correlations and Dynamic Models By Damiano Brigo, Andrea Pallavicini, Roberto Torresetti
2010 | 176 Pages | ISBN: 0470665661 | PDF | 2 MB
The recent financial crisis has highlighted the need for better valuation models and risk management procedures, better understanding of structured products, and has called into question the actions of many financial institutions. It has become commonplace to blame the inadequacy of credit risk models, claiming that the crisis was due to sophisticated and obscure products being traded, but practitioners have for a long time been aware of the dangers and limitations of credit models. It would seem that a lack of understanding of these models is the root cause of their failures but until now little analysis had been published on the subject and, when published, it had gained very limited attention.Credit Models and the Crisis is a succinct but technical analysis of the key aspects of the credit derivatives modeling problems, tracing the development (and flaws) of new quantitative methods for credit derivatives and CDOs up to and through the credit crisis. Responding to the immediate need for clarity in the market and academic research environments, this book follows the development of credit derivatives and CDOs at a technical level, analyzing the impact, strengths and weaknesses of methods ranging from the introduction of the Gaussian Copula model and the related implied correlations to the introduction of arbitrage-free dynamic loss models capable of calibrating all the tranches for all the maturities at the same time. It also illustrates the implied copula, a method that can consistently account for CDOs with different attachment and detachment points but not for different maturities, and explains why the Gaussian Copula model is still used in its base correlation formulation.The book reports both alarming pre-crisis research and market examples, as well as commentary through history, using data up to the end of 2009, making it an important addition to modern derivatives literature. With banks and regulators struggling to fully analyze at a technical level, many of the flaws in modern financial models, it will be indispensable for quantitative practitioners and academics who want to develop stable and functional models in the future.

Free Download Creativity, Talent and Excellence By Heidrun Stoeger (auth.), Ai-Girl Tan (eds.)
2013 | 280 Pages | ISBN: 981402192X | PDF | 3 MB
This volume reflects the multiplicity of perspectives in the theory and practice of creativity, while it is broadly accepted that the dynamism of humanity's responses to our evolving scientific, social and environmental needs depends on our creativity. It examines the central issues that animate the themes of creativity, talent development and excellence in schools and in the workplace, as well as analysing their related socio-cultural activities and processes. Forged in the workshops of a number of conferences and symposia, this collection represents in itself a creative partnership between European and Asian academics. Thus it includes contributions from various cultural and organizational settings, as well as chapters that enhance our conceptual models of creativity in both learning and teaching. The contributing authors recognize that exploring the nature of creativity necessitates a new paradigm in research and praxis in which integration, collaboration, and the synthesis of knowledge and expertise are key factors. Their chapters detail the results of studies relating to to creativity, talent, school excellence, team and goal setting, innovation and organizational excellence, resilience, self-regulation, and personal epistemology. Clearly defined sections take on discrete aspects of the topic that include a vital assessment of the challenges that lie ahead in fostering the creativity, talent and excellence of the young and in doing so, allowing them to play a positive and innovative role in a variety of social contexts.
