Описание:

Place has become both a major field of criminological study as well as an important area for policy development. Capturing state of the art crime and place research methods and analysis, Understanding Crime and Place is a comprehensive Handbook focused on the specific skills researchers need. 

The editors and contributors are scholars who have been fundamental in introducing or developing a particular method for crime and place research. Understanding Crime and Place is organized around the scientific process, introducing major crime and place theories and concepts, discussions of data and data collection, core spatial data concepts, as well as statistical and computational techniques for analyzing spatial data and place-based evaluation. The lessons in the book are supplemented by additional instructions, examples, problems, and datasets available for download.

Conducting place-based research is an emerging field that requires a wide range of cutting-edge methods and analysis techniques that are only beginning to be widely taught in criminology. Understanding Crime and Place bridges that gap, formalizes the discipline, and promotes an even greater use of place-based research.

Описание: Warm, funny and wise, Mrs. Groff's Mischievous Book of Motherhood Management offers an irresistible voice for our time. Packed with a treasure trove of fascinating new information about the female parent commonly known as "mother"--and a multitude of hints, facts, cheats, ideas and curiosities--it champions common sense and skewers nonsense at every turn. Includes 20 great gifts for a new mother (a voucher for a hair appointment plus babysitter, a children's birthday cake cookbook), tips for the first week back at work (take a large box of tissues--you will be weepy, but it will pass), home safety tips (run cold water through the tap after running a bath to cool the hot faucet), how to track Santa (NORAD North American Aerospace Defense Command), and such Christmas tips as how to overcome the current orgy of greed and materialism (inform children that they will definitely receive something they want for Christmas, but will receive fewer presents this year because your family will be donating to an organization that takes care of people or animals).
