Dishonoured
Author: Sofia Hayat
Publisher: Kings Road Publishing
ISBN: 1789468078
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Sofia Hayat is beautiful, talented and successful with appearances in feature films, television shows, commercials and modelling campaigns. Yet it is what lies behind Sofia's glamourous life and glittering career that makes her life story so compelling and inspirational. Sofia's childhood was worlds away from her current, free-spirited life. Growing up at the heart of a Muslim family, above her parents' corner shop in Kent, she was forced to comply by the strictest of rules - her father forbade her from having friends and, if she was caught talking to boys, she would suffer severe, often violent, consequences at his hands. But the lowest point of her childhood came when she learned she was to be forced into an arranged marriage - the thought of being trapped in an empty, loveless union tipped Sofia into attempting to take her own life and instigated a spate of self-harming. Her chance to break free finally came when she won herself a place at university, where she experienced for the first time the freedoms that most young women in Britain take for granted. Her new life revolved around partying and meeting men, something that had been forbidden by her parents. Her experimentation with sex, however, resulted in death threats from her own family and, in a shocking twist, her own parents kidnapped her and an honour killing loomed as her family believed that her behaviour was tarnishing their image. In spite of the efforts of her family to thwart her bid for freedom, thanks to her strength of mind and conviction, Sofia continued to follow her dream of becoming an actress, eventually moving to London to embark on her career.

A History of Forensic Science
Author: Alison Adam
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135005583
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
How and when did forensic science originate in the UK? This question demands our attention because our understanding of present-day forensic science is vastly enriched through gaining an appreciation of what went before. A History of Forensic Science is the first book to consider the wide spectrum of influences which went into creating the discipline in Britain in the first part of the twentieth century. This book offers a history of the development of forensic sciences, centred on the UK, but with consideration of continental and colonial influences, from around 1880 to approximately 1940. This period was central to the formation of a separate discipline of forensic science with a distinct professional identity and this book charts the strategies of the new forensic scientists to gain an authoritative voice in the courtroom and to forge a professional identity in the space between forensic medicine, scientific policing, and independent expert witnessing. In so doing, it improves our understanding of how forensic science developed as it did. This book is essential reading for academics and students engaged in the study of criminology, the history of forensic science, science and technology studies and the history of policing.
