The Galileo Conspiracy
It is the twenty-second century. The Earth is an ecological mess where the UN has become the dominant political influence. To reduce the exploitation of resources and pollution on earth, mining colonies have been established on the Moon and Mars. The jewel in the UN space development program was 'Project JUPITER', centred on the UNSV GALILEO, a deep space, survey and mining vessel built to exploit the vast mineral resources of Jupiter and the asteroid belt. Jan Maldrick of the Central Intelligence and Security Service had been given a simple close protection assignment. However, he found himself being dragged into the centre of conflicting conspiracies to save the human race and obtain globa...

Recovering Police Legitimacy
Transatlantic policing is experiencing an unprecedented crisis of legitimacy, epitomised by public responses to the murders of George Floyd and Sarah Everard during the COVID-19 pandemic. Legitimacy is lost when the police either fail to protect the public or rely on coercion rather than consent to achieve that protection. Recovering Police Legitimacy challenges conventional criminological, political, and public solutions to the problem by approaching it from the bottom up, beginning with policing as a practice constituted by a unique set of excellences, skills, and characteristics. The author draws on his experience as a police officer and on the serial fictions of James Ellroy, David Peace...

Police Leaders as Thinkers
This book identifies police leaders who have stood out and chalked a path that has transformed their organizations. It describes these thinkers, who look deep into the challenges of policing and comment critically upon various responses and actions. Featuring profiles of police leaders from various countries, this book features officers with an aptitude for learning, presenting the situations they have confronted and the methods they have adopted to change systems and usher reforms. It identifies the characteristics of thinking police officers, and suggests the ways in which the serious policing challenges of modern times can be addressed by creative and outside the box thinking by leadership. Appropriate for students of criminal justice and policing, for researchers studying law enforcement and for practitioners discussing policing reform, this book will initiate a new debate about the nature and possibilities of building new police for the 21st century.
MARTIAN MAINFRAME, 2084
Corpocracy is turning Mars into a fascistic Los Angeles suburban shopping center rather than the CommonWealth paradise it should become. Jovian moon miner Peregrine Walker comes to Mars looking for a wife and finds the planet is owned by one trillionaire with a supercomputer that runs the planet in continual civil rights crisis mode. Peregrine and his bride Carolyn take on the big corporation and The Mars Mainframe in a fight for freedom. Guess who wins. This audiobook is more affordable because it uses Synthetic Narration, the MS David synthetic voice sounds better than some real voices. The author intends to narrate a natural voice version to be published in late 2,022. The recording labor will deserve a price of twenty-five US dollars.
The Future of Evidence-Based Policing
Evidence-based policing (EBP) has become a key perspective for practitioners and researchers concerned with the future of policing. This volume provides both a review of where evidence-based policing stands today and a consideration of emerging trends and ideas likely to be important in the future. It includes comparative and international contributions, as well as researcher and practitioner perspectives. While emphasizing traditional evidence-based methods and approaches, the book also identifies barriers to the advancement of evidence-based policing and expands the vision of evidence-based policing by critically examining ethical and moral concerns and questions. The book's main focus is not on what has to happen in police agencies to advance EBP, but rather on an issue that has received far less attention - the science that is necessary to produce for EBP to be successfully integrated into policing.
One Hundred Days of Silence
One Hundred Days of Silence is an important investigation into the 1994 Rwandan genocide and American foreign policy. During one hundred days of spring, eight-hundred thousand Rwandan Tutsis and sympathetic Hutus were slaughtered in one of the most atrocious events of the twentieth century. Drawing on declassified documents and testimony of policy makers, Jared Cohen critically reconstructs the historical account of tacit policy that led to nonintervention. His analysis examines the questions of what the United States knew about the genocide and how the world's most powerful nation turned a blind eye. The study reveals the ease at which an administration can not only fail to intervene but also silence discussion of the crisis. The book argues that despite the extent of the genocide the American government was not motivated to act due to a lack of economic interest. With precision and passion, One Hundred Days of Silence frames the debate surrounding this controversial history.
