Описание: With his love life falling apart, a chance encounter with a beautiful woman leads reporter Clay "call me Thorne" Hawthorne to a new investigation of a sensational subject: sex trafficking. He becomes aware of the global multi-billion-dollar industry of human trafficking that steals for profit the freedom of millions of victims. Its tentacles reach into every corner of the United States. And to Kentucky. In the Bluegrass state arrests of restaurant or other business owners for using forced labor in inhumane conditions are common. Too often individuals are arrested for what social workers call "family pimping." But Thorne wants to expose the bigger business of sex trafficking that coerces hundreds of women and girls into a modern form of slavery. His inquiries lead him into conflict with a racist motorcycle gang as he focuses on erotic massage parlors, over ten thousand in the U.S. and hundreds in Kentucky. White nationalist OMGs, Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs, increasing in number, become part of his investigation. Thorne discovers that sex-trafficking, from high-class escort services to local rings in small towns to the strings of massage parlors, is "hiding in plain sight." But exposing the extensive criminal networks that operate strings of parlors proves difficult and dangerous. He enlists the reluctant help of a former escort, a beautiful, mysterious woman with a past she wants to forget. Meanwhile, white nationalist militias and Nazis are recruiting in Kentucky and prompted by their deluded conspiracy theories, have targeted his newspaper, the Bluegrass Herald as an enemy of white supremacy. After an attack on the papers building and a series of threating emails, Thorne takes action.

Описание: This book introduces 'convenience' as the key concept to explain financial crime by white-collar criminals. Based on a number of fraud examination- reports from the United States and Norway, the book documents empirical evidence of convenience among white-collar criminals. It advances our understanding of white-collar crime by drawing attention to private investigation reports by fraud examiners and financial crime specialists, who are in the growing business of fraud investigations. Reports of investigations have never before been researched in terms of white-collar criminals nor crime convenience. Reports of investigations by auditing and law firms represent a valuable empirical basis – in addition to court documents and other sources of information about financial crime. A methodical and well-researched study, this book will be of particular interest to scholars of criminological theory and law – in addition to ethics courses in business schools.

Описание: The learning process, also an emotional process, begins in criminology with the concepts, views, emotions, attitudes and ideas we have regarding crime and criminals. The history of criminology is not so much a history of offenders, 2 as a history of the reactions of those in power.

Описание:
Crime narratives form a large and central part of the modern cultural landscape. This book explores the cognitive stylistic processing of prose and audiovisual fictional crime 'texts'. It also examines instances where such narratives find themselves, through popular demand, 'migrating' - meaning that they cross languages, media formats and/or cultures.
In doing so, Crime Fiction Migration proposes a move from a monomodal to a multimodal approach to the study of crime fiction. Examining original crime fiction works alongside their translations, adaptations and remakings proves instrumental in understanding how various semiotic modes interact with one another. The book analyses works such as We Need to Talk About Kevin, The Killing trilogy and the reimaginings of plays such as Shear Madness and films such as Funny Games.
Crime fiction is consistently popular and 'on the move' - witness the spate of detective series exported out of Scandinavia, or the ever popular exporting of these shows from the USA. This multimodal and semiotically-aware analysis of global crime narratives expands the discipline and is key reading for students of linguistics, criminology, literature and film.
Описание: Data Analysis in Criminal Justice and Criminology: History, Concept, and Application breaks down various data analysis techniques to help students build their conceptual understanding of key methods and processes. The information in the text encourages discussion and consideration of how and why data analysis plays an important role in the fields of criminal justice and criminology.The book is divided into three units. Unit 1 discusses how data analysis is used in criminal justice and criminology, various methods of data collection, the importance of identifying the purpose of analysis and key data elements prior to analyzing information, and graphical representation of data. Unit 2 introduces students to samples, distributions, and the central limit theorem as it relates to data analysis. This section provides students with the essential knowledge and skills needed to understand statistical concepts and calculations. The final unit explains how to move beyond statistical description to statistical inference and how sample statistics can be used to estimate population parameters.Highly accessible in nature, Data Analysis in Criminal Justice and Criminology is ideal for undergraduate and graduate courses in criminal justice, criminology, and sociology especially those with emphasis on data analysis.

Описание: The Alcatraz Option, a crime/sci-fi saga, begins in December 2015 with the escape by the famous Mexican drug lord, "El Chapo" from the so-called "escape proof" Altiplano prison and extends into the 2040s. During his brief period of freedom, El-Chapo makes fundamental changes to the way his cartel operates. These changes impact the future of drug cartels in Mexico and the lives of the principal characters in the novel, Hector Morales, Rebecca Levy and Daniel Levy. Rebecca an American, and Morales, a Mexican meet as teenagers and have a passionate summer romance. Neither has a clue as to how their lives will intertwine in the future. For Rebecca, Morales is little more than a distant memory. For Morales, she remains an overwhelming and irrational obsession that grips him into adulthood and drives him to take actions that have harsh and deadly consequences. Decades pass. Morales, a successful banker, and socialite, opts for a life of crime, works for, and ultimately becomes the head of the "Aztec" drug cartel. Aztec is the most successful and influential criminal enterprise in history. Rebecca, happily married, becomes a noted scientist. At the height of Aztecs power, a new technology called "Digital Heroin," threatens to make all illegal drugs obsolete. If the technology becomes a reality, it will destroy the Cartel. Morales realizes that the only way to thwart its impact is to develop a super-drug, one so addictive that users will forego what the technology has to offer. Morales, who continues to stalk Rebecca from afar via social media, believes that an Alzheimers drug she invented, "Clarity," with some tweaking, could be his super-drug. Driven by the hope of rekindling their earlier romance, and having her work on the new super-drug, Morales abducts Rebecca. To divert investigators, he frames Daniel. Despite the absence of her corpse, Daniel is found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. Daniel languishes in jail while Rebecca, unaware of Daniels plight, is held, prisoner. Over time, however, Rebecca and Morales become lovers again, and she agrees to help him convert Clarity into Morales super-drug. Clarity causes deep and pervasive addiction; crime spikes. The prison population surges ten-fold. Prison conditions become horrific, but the government appears helpless. During this crisis, doctors learn that an experimental cancer drug has the side-effect of aging patients significantly in the space of a few hours. Prison officials quickly realize that the side-effect could provide a solution to overcrowding and soon offer inmates immediate freedom in exchange for the inmates agreeing to be aged by the length of their terms. Alcatraz, again a prison, is the first place to offer the Option. When Daniel learns that Morales has abducted Rebecca, he exercises the Option and sets off to rescue her. In his quest, however, he will not be as he once was, physically fit and tough (he was a former war hero), but as a man with all of the physical and psychological frailties of an octogenarian. As Daniel trudges breathlessly towards Rebeccas location, he begins to have doubts. Will he have the strength and fortitude to rescue her? Will she even recognize him? Will she want to return with a husband who is older looking than her father? If she returns with him, he will be vindicated, and doctors will restore his original age. If she refuses to return or his efforts are unsuccessful, he will soon die as an old man. In the violent confrontation between Morales and Daniel, Rebecca, with a gun in hand, makes a life-or-death choice between her lover and her loyal and loving husband. Years later, as she reflects upon her life, Rebecca wonders if she made the right choice.
