Mario Kleff: Without Fear
Mario Kleff’s journey from humble beginnings to architectural prominence is nothing short of extraordinary. Born into a poor middle-class family in Boppard on November 21, 1967, with ties to an aristocratic lineage, Kleff's early life in Thailand was marked by hardship. Living in a bamboo hut and selling coconuts from a longtail boat, he carved out a path for himself in a foreign land. His unyielding determination transformed him into a millionaire and a celebrated architect on Thailand's Eastern Seaboard. Guided by his motto, "Express yourself without fear," Kleff’s story is a statement to resilience and unconventional success.

My Chasing Image
Colin describes this collection as his walk through life, thus far, and what a pleasure it is to join him, thus far. Reading these poems we share in experience from his start as a Guiseley lad, through dramas in his life and in 21st century Britain, to his observations as both a local historian and a lover of the natural world. We are permitted to join this self-effacing and sensitive man when his defences are down and he clearly needs to exorcise his innermost thoughts and doubts and frustrations. But turn the page, the mood changes and his quirky humour re-surfaces. His footnotes are an invaluable eye-opener when he gives his reasons for writing a particular poem, the background or locatio...
Neighbourhood Policing
Neighbourhood policing is one of the most significant and high profile innovations in UK policing in recent times. It has also been one of the most successful, garnering widespread political and public support for its objectives and the processes of policing that it has sought to embed. Indeed, it has recently been described as the 'bedrock' of the British policing model. But it was not always so lauded. At the time of its initial development it encountered considerable opposition and scepticism from both within and outside of the police. This book tells the story of how and why the neighbourhood policing model was originally designed and implemented, and then, what has led to a decline in i...
Managing Persistent and Serious Offenders in the Community
Over the last few years intensive community programmes for both young and adult offenders have become established in the UK as an important new component of penal policy − the ISSP (Intensive Supervision and Surveillance Programme) for persistent and serious young offenders, and the ICCP (Intensive Control and Change Programme) for adult offenders. Expectations of these programmes have been high, but the evidence relating to their effectiveness is mixed, and a number of critical concerns have emerged. This book seeks to address these issues, providing a timely review of the current literature, and presents findings of a recent national evaluation of ISSP. Emerging lessons for future penal policy are presented, and set within a wider theoretical context. The book concludes by stressing the need for greater realism and further evidential support if such programmes are to gain long-term credibility, and also to consider the appropriateness of differing forms of targeting as well as the emphasis placed on the various methods of surveillance.
