Book Description
William Rollins, Special Agent in charge of the bank robbery division of the FBI, has the call. Special Agent Stephanie Drysdale gets the assignment. She's young. She's aggressive. She's a star in the making in the Richmond, Virginia office. A deposit of bills with sequential numbers shows up in a bank in LaPlata, Maryland. The bills originated with the robbery of Short Pump National bank nineteen months earlier in Richmond. She and Rollins trace the bills to a church in King George, Virginia. A second deposit pops up in Richmond. Then a third. And a fourth. In each case, bills have been donated anonymously to a worthy cause. The bills keep coming. Capturing and prosecuting two bank robbers is at stake, but something is amiss. PRAISE FOR JERRY RADFORD No One Can know "The story alone is the stuff of bestsellers and hit movies, but the real fun here is the author's talent with dialogue and edgy characters. If you like Harlan Coben and Dennis LeHane, then you'll like Jerry Radford." Larry Brooks, Bestselling author of Bait and Switch, Serpent's Dance, Pressure Points, Darkness Bound, and Whisper of the Seventh Thunder One After Another "An impressive edge-of-your-seat trifecta of horse racing, bank robbing, and special effects. You can't predict or second guess the plot twists and story lines in a Radford novel, which might not work in betting the ponies, but results in an absolute jackpot for the reader." Jamie Layton, Duck's Cottage Bookstore ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jerry Radford is a former advertising agency president who won hundreds of creative writing awards in print, television and radio. His creative juices now flow through the pages of suspense novels, introducing readers to gripping plots full of vivid characters who come to life with snappy dialogue, humor, and a grittiness that demands a turn of page.

Gangs
Author: Jacqueline Schneider
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351157787
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 566
Book Description
The task of researching gangs is fraught with difficulties, central to which are issues of definition and reliance on certain forms of data for analyses. These methodological issues have been acknowledged as limitations in most of the existing research, but they have not been explored as being potentially serious flaws contributing to the proliferation of myth, or as aggravating factors that exacerbate what is essentially a relatively uncomplicated social process. Also unclear from existing studies is the extent to which suppositions about gangs feed moral panics or contribute to the misidentification or over-specification of a problem. This captivating volume focuses on gangs, their formation, identity and behaviour with a view to developing a preventive strategy.

Oxford Handbook of Face Perception
Author: Andy Calder
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191620904
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 944
Book Description
The human face is unique among social stimuli in conveying such a variety of different characteristics. A person's identity, sex, race, age, emotional state, focus of attention, facial speech patterns, and attractiveness are all detected and interpreted with relative ease from the face. Humans also display a surprising degree of consistency in the extent to which personality traits, such as trustworthiness and likeability, are attributed to faces. In the past thirty years, face perception has become an area of major interest within psychology, with a rapidly expanding research base. Yet until now, there has been no comprehensive reference work bringing together this ever growing body of research. The Oxford Handbook of Face Perception is the most comprehensive and commanding review of the field ever published. It looks at the functional and neural mechanisms underlying the perception, representation, and interpretation of facial characteristics, such as identity, expression, eye gaze, attractiveness, personality, and race. It examines the development of these processes, their neural correlates in both human and non-human primates, congenital and acquired disorders resulting from their breakdown, and the theoretical and computational frameworks for their underlying mechanisms. With chapters by an international team of leading authorities from the brain sciences, the book is a landmark publication on face perception. For anyone looking for the definitive text on this burgeoning field, this is the essential book.

Criminals and Terrorists in Partnership
Author: Helena Carrapico
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317389816
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
The nexus between terrorism and organised crime consists of a strategic alliance between two non-state actors who are able to exploit illegal markets, threaten the security of individuals, and influence policy-making on a global level. Recent Europol reports have pointed towards the importance of studying the links between organised crime and terrorist groups, and have underlined that the nature and extent of these connections have seldom been addressed from an academic perspective. Considering the danger that both organised crime and terrorism currently pose to the world, the collusion between these two phenomena is of urgent contemporary interest. Basing itself on geographical case-studies, this book contributes to the existing literature in three ways: by enriching the empirical knowledge on the nature of the crime-terror nexus and its evolution; by exploring the impact of the nexus within different economic, political and societal contexts; and by expanding on its theoretical conceptualization. This book was originally published as a special issue of Global Crime.

The Criminology of Carlo Morselli - Part I
Author: Rémi Boivin
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000952940
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
The first of two volumes, this book about the criminology of Carlo Morselli includes diverse contributions that study the social inter-dependence of criminal phenomena. It presents various studies on the importance and impact of social ties on offenders, victims and the social response to crime. The idea that social relationships are central to the understanding of human phenomena draws its roots from Jacob Moreno’s work in 1934, whose contribution – among others made at about the same time – paved the way for social network analysis (SNA), a set of methods and approaches that study dyadic relationships and their connections to other dyads in the same network. Surprisingly, SNA was not widely adopted in criminology until the end of the 20th century. It took researchers like Carlo Morselli to apply the principles of SNA and graph theory to criminological objects. As a researcher, Morselli embodied SNA; he was a so-called ‘broker’ in his network of social scientists, linking dozens of excellent researchers that he collaborated with, directly or not. Granovetter showed that ‘weak ties’ – or acquaintances – were important in the diffusion of new ideas, and Morselli put that insight to practice in criminology. This collection of works from experts in the field takes on questions that Morselli worked on throughout his career, drawing on his theoretical insights, his methods, and even his general conceptualisation of what organised crime is, and isn’t, to deliver rich and fertile scholarship on the study of social networks in criminology. The Criminology of Carlo Morselli - Part I will be a key resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Sociology, and Social Sciences. The chapters included in this book were originally published as a special issue of Global Crime.
