Donald Trump won the election; climate change isn't real; America is a color-blind country. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, why do so many of us refuse to admit the truth? Denial is so much a part of our lives that we deny its existence all the time.

In the winter of 1979, aged just 27, the inmate who would come to be known as 'Charlie Bronson' was considered uncontrollable by the prison system. Certified insane, he was transferred from Parkhurst Prison to the most infamous high-security psychiatric hospital in England, Broadmoor Asylum for the Criminally Insane. There he embarked on a one-man campaign to retain his sanity, and to fight against the brutality of a largely hidden regime that relied on enforced drug control.

True Crime Stories von Joe Bausch, dem Experten für Verbrechen und das Böse. "Von unvorstellbarem Ausmaß", so werden Gewaltakte mit tödlichem Ausgang in der Öffentlichkeit häufig genannt. Nur wenige Menschen kennen persönlich so viele Schwerverbrecher wie der langjährige Gefängnisarzt und True-Crime-Spezialist Joe Bausch. In seinem neuen Buch geht er der Frage nach, wie Gewalttaten entstehen. Er erzählt den Fall von der "Eislady", die sich von ihren dominanten Männern nur durch Mord zu befreien wusste. Oder vom dreifachen Familienvater, der auf Jersey elf Jahre lang ein Doppelleben als Sexualstraftäter führen konnte.

Social scientists have long argued over the links between crime and place. The authors of Communities and Crime provide an intellectual history that traces how varying images of community have evolved over time and influenced criminological thinking and criminal justice policy.

Tidsmässigt är inte avståndet särskilt långt från idyllen Sverige, som tillät företrädare från vårt land att röra sig fritt på offentliga platser utan livvakter, till den ödesdigra natt då statsminister Olof Palme brutalt sköts ned på öppen gata i Sveriges huvudstad. Det som dittillls hänt i form av mord på prominenta personer hade den svenska allmänheten ingen nära erfarenhet av. Flertalet människor kände sig därför trygga ända fram till mordet på Olof Palme.

Opium's Orphans is the first full history of drug prohibition and the "war on drugs." A no-holds-barred but balanced account, it shows that drug suppression was born of historical accident, not rational design. The war on drugs did not originate in Europe or the United States, and even less with President Nixon, but in China. Two Opium Wars followed by Western attempts to atone for them gave birth to an anti-narcotics order that has come to span the globe. But has the war on drugs succeeded?

Fængselsbetjentene i det lille provinsielle arresthus har fin tid til at hygge sig med et par øl i pauserne. Der er normalt rimeligt roligt i arresten, for fangerne omgås hinanden nogenlunde civiliseret og forsøger at undgå problemer, mens deres sager bliver behandlet. Det hele ændrer sig imidlertid, da en pædofilisigtet mand bliver sat i arresten. Det bringer sindene i kog blandt de andre fanger, og det begynder hurtigt at trække op til oprør. Jørn Jønke Nielsen (f. 1960) er en dansk forfatter og rocker.

Bogen belyser forskellige aspekter af voldtægt og fænomenet drug rape, huller i lovgivningen, forløbet på hospitalet efter voldtægten, og de konsekvenser voldtægten har for ofret, selvom hun ikke kan huske noget fra selve overgrebet.

Gun rights and control are well-trodden subjects, with prior work supporting the right of citizens to own firearms, discussing the failure of gun control efforts, or warning about or exhorting citizen gun ownership, among other things. Although social media in their many forms have only come to dominate modern U.S. life during the past decade, there has been little academic exploration of gun owner communities on the Internet and social media.

Der er nogle gidseldramaer og kapringer, som verden stadig husker i dag. For eksempel sagen om 16-årige Paul Getty, der blev kidnappet i Rom en sommeraften i 1973. Gerningsmændene kræver en enorm løsesum, ellers klipper de drengen i småstykker og sender delene pr. post en ad gangen. Snart viser det sig imidlertid, at det ikke er kidnapperne, der er drengens værste fjender, men hans stenrige familie...

Tre teenagedrenge fra Gentofte har fundet en god fidus. Når det er koldt og mørkt kører de rundt i en sort BMW på de stille sideveje og begår indbrud i de villaer, hvor der ikke er nogen hjemme. Og der er da heller ikke noget, der tyder på, at der er nogen hjemme i det hus, de bryder ind i den kolde februaraften. Men inde i huset finder de liget af en kvinde, og da politiet pludselig dukker op, ser de forfærdeligt skyldige ud - ikke bare i indbrud, men også i mord. Jørn Jønke Nielsen (f. 1960) er en dansk forfatter og rocker.

Keri Blakinger always lived life at full throttle. Growing up, that meant throwing herself into competitive figure skating with an all-consuming passion that led her to nationals. But when her skating career suddenly fell apart, that meant diving into self-destruction with the intensity she once saved for the ice. For the next nine years, Keri ricocheted from one dark place to the next: living on the streets, selling drugs and sex, and shooting up between classes all while trying to hold herself together enough to finish her degree at Cornell.

What is intelligence-led policing? Who came up with the idea? Where did it come from? How does it relate to other policing paradigms? What distinguishes an intelligence-led approach to crime reduction? How is it designed to have an impact on crime? Does it prevent crime? These are just a few of the questions that this book seeks to answer. This revised and updated second edition includes new case studies and viewpoints, a revised crime funnel based on new data, and a new chapter examining the expanding role of technology and big data in intelligence-led policing.
