Secure and Tranquil Travel
Author: Martha J. Smith
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135891990
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
Herein lie the answers to crime and disorder. So many people become dispirited, fatalistic or angry about crime instead of seeing crime problems, like business setbacks, as challenges or even opportunities. This book sets out a clear, systematic and demonstrably successful strategy for reducing the temptations and opportunities for crime. You cannot change the travelling public or the communities which public transport serves, but you can change the immediate circumstances and surroundings that you present to people, you can re-think and reinvigorate your service offering, you can recruit help from other agencies, from staff and even those who ride the system, and you can make the transition from being reactive to being ahead of the game. The theory is backed up by concrete examples of how and why and where smart-thinking has worked before to outflank crime-this is not just off-the-shelf self-help philosophy but a compendium of real-world best practice. What's more, you can often make money, or at least save a lot of money, by doing the right thing, and this book tells you how.

Women and Travel
Author: Catheryn Khoo-Lattimore
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1315341654
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
Women and Travel: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives is a fascinating look at the behavior, motivations, experiences, and needs of women as tourists and travellers, drawing on both historic and contemporary eras. Surprisingly little research has explored key issues, experiences, and opportunities in the context of women’s travel. This revealing volume fills this gap, exploring the discourses, debates, and discussions about women, travel, and tourism. With an international roster of contributors from diverse regions of the world, the book celebrates a variety of women’s voices. Khoo-Lattimore and Wilson deliberately sought to include nontraditional and non-Western perspectives on women’s travel, with inclusions of Asian solo female travelers; Islamic women travellers and the constraints placed on them; and women who cannot travel (or choose, for whatever reason, a ‘home holiday’). This enlightening volume brings together scholars from the broad areas of tourism, hospitality, geography, and leisure studies to examine how and why women travel. The chapters bring light to perspectives from different countries, cultures, backgrounds, and religions, and utilize different methods, approaches and styles of presentation. Women and Travel: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives will be of interest to academics and graduate students from a range of disciplines, including tourism, leisure studies, sociology, cultural geography, anthropology, feminist and gender studies, business, economics and management; as well as professionals working in the tourism industry, particularly those with an interest in niche markets and segmentation.

The Sexual Murderer
Author: Eric Beauregard
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1317407156
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
Sexual homicide continues to be one of the most widely reported and sensationalised forms of murder, attracting fascination from the public and scholars alike. Despite this continued interest, few empirical studies have been conducted on this particular form of sexual crime. The Sexual Murderer provides an analytical review of the state of knowledge on the sexual murderer and his offense, and presents new data that confronts some of the accepted ideas and myths surrounding this type of homicide. The authors draw on original data stemming from both offenders and the police to present an exhaustive and accurate picture of the sexual murderer and his offense, and compare the sex offenders who do kill with sex offenders who, despite being very violent, do not. Each chapter includes a section on the practical implications of the findings, and what the findings mean for professionals working with these cases and for the criminal justice system. This book explores themes including the role of fantasies, paraphilias, and personality; criminal career; context of the crime; journey to murder; modus operandi and crime scene; sex trade workers; avoiding detection; body disposal pathways; and whether we can predict sexual homicide occurrence. This book is a comprehensive resource for academic and professionals involved in sexual homicide cases, such as psychologists, psychiatrists, investigators and profilers, as well as individuals working in the field of sexual violence. This book will also be of interest to students taking courses on homicide, sexual homicide, and serial homicide.

Crime Modeling and Mapping Using Geospatial Technologies
Author: Michael Leitner
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 940074997X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
Recent years in North America have seen a rapid development in the area of crime analysis and mapping using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology. In 1996, the US National Institute of Justice (NIJ) established the crime mapping research center (CMRC), to promote research, evaluation, development, and dissemination of GIS technology. The long-term goal is to develop a fully functional Crime Analysis System (CAS) with standardized data collection and reporting mechanisms, tools for spatial and temporal analysis, visualization of data and much more. Among the drawbacks of current crime analysis systems is their lack of tools for spatial analysis. For this reason, spatial analysts should research which current analysis techniques (or variations of such techniques) that have been already successfully applied to other areas (e.g., epidemiology, location-allocation analysis, etc.) can also be employed to the spatial analysis of crime data. This book presents a few of those cases.

Book Description
"Before, my only travels were to and from the toilet at home. With these insights, I now also use toilets in other continents" -- Dominique LaSalle, Travel Blogesque Magnifique Written by a groovy expert who traveled continuously for years in over 60 countries and studied, lived, and worked on 4 continents without getting arrested! Smile broadly and preview this book to get a glimpse of this mastermind's mindset. Okay? Warning: Travel Books Like This One Will Forever Electrify Your Vacation Experiences! Before you do any travel planning anywhere on any budget using any of the typical travel guides, get this, the best of all travel books. No matter how savvy you think you are, there are dozens upon dozens of vacation tips and secrets we are sure you don't know about. Reading through this funny travel book, authored by a mastermind who went traveling the world for years, on budgets ranging from a cheap travel backpacker to a five-star connoisseur, you'll become transfixed by the idea of traveling the world for yourself. The mastermind began his journeys before the internet existed, so his philosophy includes both online and offline insights. Stop acting like every other traveler and taking their trips. We'll wager their trips are generic cookie-cutter affairs travel companies sold them or itineraries mindlessly copied out of travel books. Soak in the adventurous feelings of difference and make your own trip. Life's too short to be living someone else's dreams. Learn the most effective travel hacking secrets no one but the mastermind will ever bother to tell you: * Vacation tips to experience your destinations more like a local. This secret opens you up to adventures you couldn't previously fathom. The mastermind stayed with a French family in their ski chalet in Chamonix, lounged in the penthouse of a Swiss flight executive in Berne, and camped in the swag of an Australian couple in the Outback mining town of Andamooka. Cost: $0. * Which travel series guides are worth your time and which are not. * The words and phrases you really need to know for your trip. * Vacation tips to keep devious locals from sticking their unwanted paws in your travel luggage and pockets. * Tips to stay healthy on your vacation. You needn't quake in your boots concerning all the horrendous diseases you've heard about "out there," not after the travel mastermind goes over everything with you. * How to effectively compare the cost of living of the country you're visiting with your home country. The mastermind knows how to travel cheap but he also travels with style and value. * Foreign currency vacation tips to keep money in your wallet. The mastermind saved 60% on a room in Nepal with one secret. With another, he saved an additional 5% on a Kenyan safari he'd already gotten the best possible deal on - without the safari operator losing a penny! Tracking hacking doesn't get better than this. * Plentiful mobile phone and calling travel hacking cues that should save you a small fortune at your destination. * The best cheap and free mobile phone travel apps for a variety of platforms. Android, iPhone/iPad, Windows Phone, or BlackBerry - the mastermind has got you covered. * How to get travel companies or web sites to execute travel planning at no cost to yourself. * The "secret" places to book your airfares to score the absolute best bargains on cheap flights. Scrutinize the plane and the destination and layover airports before you book. Investigate the crosswinds, density altitudes, and aviation temperatures before you fly so, even on cheap flights, you won't wind up like Buddy Holly. * Where to hide your travel cash. Hint: it's not your hotel room safe. * How to bargain and barter with nefarious merchants. Use the mastermind's secrets to shut them out or get them to succumb to your price. * And much more.
