Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
A longtime Rochester, New York, police detective tells the behind-the-scenes stories of four of his most memorable cases. Patrick Crough served more than twenty years as a Monroe County Major Crimes detective, where he investigated some of the region’s most tragic crimes. They include horrifying acts, like that of a Valentine’s Day killing rampage that left four people dead, as well as the case against Ed Laraby, the serial rapist who terrorized women in Rochester and Monroe County. But there are also stories of heroism and bravery: strangers coming to the aid of those in peril, parents who laid down their lives to save their children, and the team of people who put violent criminals behind bars. In these pages, Crough details four of his most memorable cases—in which he was forced to confront evil and chose to pursue truth.

Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309142393
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.

Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Aaron, a 33 year old single Amish man tells us about his painful journey as he is "outed" when his brother accidentally discovers a pencil sketch Aaron drew of two mature men in an intimate moment. Aaron deals with his own emotions as well as his immediate family's reactions and soon afterwards, the preachers from his church, including the presiding bishop, give the young man a list of rules to live by if he wants to remain Amish. As his inclusion in the Amish community is threatened, he begins to find inner resources through the help of a therapist and pushes doggedly through the strict restrictions of his faith and acceptance of his yearning for the intimacy of another man. Sheltered from any contact with homosexuals all through his youth, Aaron now tries to maintain his faith in what he has been taught and struggles constantly with what he sees as the loose morals of any gay men he gets into contact with. The way to true love is never easy and for a gay Amish man to find a partner who shares his values seems to be an impossible task. Can Aaron navigate the pressures from the outside world to abandon his values and faith while trying to maintain a tenuous relationship with his family and Amish community?"The enigmatic mystique of Amish Aaron being excommunicated and yet living the life of an Amish person is disturbingly fascinating".
