This book is the first and only one of its kind on the topic of Cops and Robbers games, and more generally, on the field of vertex pursuit games on graphs.

One of the main goals of the book is to bring together the key results in the field; as such, it presents structural, probabilistic, and algorithmic results on Cops and Robbers games. Several recent and new results are discussed, along with a comprehensive set of references. The book is suitable for self-study or as a textbook, owing in part to the over 200 exercises.

The Grand Master of Mystery delivers “nerve-end-entertainment” when two of New York’s finest set out to become two of New York’s richest (Kirkus Reviews). Tom and Joe have been walking the beat on the mean streets of the Big Apple longer than they can remember—or care to. They’ve been good cops, protecting the public and holding the line against crime and chaos in a city that has plenty of both. And all they have to show for it is a whole lot of nothing. But now the partners have devised a scheme to make all their dreams come true: the perfect heist. Tom and Joe are going to rob the fat cats on Wall Street for millions and walk away clean. With the right connections and the proper execution, there’s no way their plan can fail. And that’s why they’re so surprised when everything goes totally, hysterically wrong . . . With Cops and Robbers, the three-time Edgar Award–winning author, named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America, offers “another very hot and successful” novel with “a siren shrill finale” (Kirkus Reviews).

Role Play: Cops & Robbers - Erotic Short Story
Author: B. J. Hermansson
Publisher: Lindhardt og Ringhof
ISBN: 8726311356
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 19
Book Description
" 'Are you ready for a punish-fuck?' he wonders. Her lips are still wrapped around his cock and Angelika can only nod her reply. He pulls out from her beautiful, plump lips." Today Angelika and Ludvig are doing a role play together: Cop & Robber. They will leave their ordinary lives, musts, personalities and set roles behind to instead take on a whole new existence and transform into someone else. Albeit briefly. Amidst other people, they will play the first scene in public downtown. Part two will, however, be enacted behind closed doors. Angelika is the robber. Ludvig is the police. The tension between them is almost palpable, as electrically charged as it is thrilling. The props, the dialogue, the roles - everything is set. They are full of erotic anticipation and virtually trembling with horniness... Let the game begin. The Roleplay: Cops & Robbers is an erotic short story about the thrill and possibilities of transforming into someone else for a moment. B. J. Hermansson skillfully creates short stories that encompass both quick-witted prose and poetic descriptions. The underlying tone in these texts often inspires the reader to contemplate and question our established, pre-conceived ideas, especially when it comes to the normal, standards and sexuality.

Police
Author: William K. Muir
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022621866X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
"This book . . . examines the problem of police corruption . . . in such a way that the stereotype of the crude, greedy cop who is basically a grown-up delinquent, if not an out-and-out robber, yields to portraits of particular men, often of earnest good will and even more than ordinary compassion, contending with an enormously demanding and challenging job."—Robert Coles, New Yorker "Other social scientists have observed policemen on patrol, or have interviewed them systematically. Professor Muir has brought the two together, and, because of the philosophical depth he brings to his commentaries, he has lifted the sociology of the police on to a new level. He has both observed the men and talked with them at length about their personal lives, their conceptions of society and of the place of criminals within it. His ambition is to define the good policeman and to explain his development, but his achievement is to illuminate the philosophical and occupational maturation of patrol officers in 'Laconia' (a pseudonym) . . . . His discussions of [the policemen's] moral development are threaded through with analytically suggestive formulations that bespeak a wisdom very rarely encountered in reports of sociological research."—Michael Banton, Times Literary Supplement
