Criminal Psychology & Behavioral Profiling

Inside the Minds of Modern Serial Offenders

Death, Truth, Accountability and Justice

Coroners in the Anglophone World

The scales of justice are not always balanced. In Shadows of Justice, you will step behind the curtain of the American legal system to uncover the devastating reality of wrongful convictions. Through gripping, meticulously researched case studies-including the heart-wrenching stories of Marcus Deveraux and Marcus Dillon-this book exposes the dark underbelly of modern law enforcement. From the fallibility of forensic science to the insidious nature of tunnel vision and the tragedy of coerced false confessions, Shadows of Justice reveals how lives can be shattered in mere hours. This is more than a collection of stories; it is a call to action for anyone who believes in the pursuit of truth. Will you dare to confront the shadows lurking within our justice system?

Shadows of Justice

The definitive history of Russia’s most secret spy program, from the earliest days of the Soviet Union to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, and a revelatory examination of how that hidden history shaped both Russia and the West. “Shaun Walker relates these real-life spy stories with breathtaking aplomb.” —Wall Street Journal More than a century ago, the new Bolshevik government began sending Soviet citizens abroad as deep-cover spies, training them to pose as foreign aristocrats, merchants, and students. Over time, this grew into the most ambitious espionage program in history. Many intelligence agencies use undercover operatives, but the KGB was the only one to go to such lengths, spending years training its spies in language and etiquette, and sending them abroad on missions that could last for decades. These spies were known as &nbsp;“illegals.” During the Second World War, illegals were dispatched behind enemy lines to assassinate high-ranking Nazis. Later, in the Cold War, they were sent to assimilate and lie low as sleepers in the West. The greatest among them performed remarkable feats, while many others failed in their missions or cracked under the strain of living a double life. Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews, as well as archival research in more than a dozen countries, Shaun Walker brings this history to life in a page-turning tour de force that takes us into the heart of the KGB’s most secretive program. A riveting spy drama peopled with richly drawn characters, The Illegals also uncovers a hidden thread in the story of Russia itself. As Putin extols Soviet achievements and the KGB’s espionage prowess, and Moscow continues to infiltrate illegals across the globe, this timely narrative shines new light on the long arc of the Soviet experiment, its messy aftermath, and its influence on our world at large.

Russia's Most Audacious Spies and Their Century-Long Mission to Infiltrate the West

The Illegals

Advanced identification technologies are reshaping how evidence is analyzed and crimes are solved. Exploring the intersection of forensics and biometrics reveals a rapidly evolving field. By integrating biometric data with forensic methods, investigators can achieve greater accuracy and reliability in establishing identities and linking individuals to events. This intersection not only enhances traditional investigative practices but also introduces new technical considerations as the boundaries of personal identification expand. Ultimately, the fusion of forensics and biometrics is transforming modern justice systems and redefining what is possible in the pursuit of truth. Exploring the Intersection of Forensics and Biometrics explores how biometric technologies are revolutionizing forensic science. It further examines the technical and socio-ethical dimensions of biometric systems. Covering topics such as biometrics, forensics science, and security, this book is an excellent resource for academicians, policy makers, government officials, educators, law enforcement professionals, forensic scientists, and more.

Exploring the Intersection of Forensics and Biometrics

Schriften zum Strafrecht und Strafprozessrecht

Das vorliegende Werk macht es sich zur Aufgabe, die konkreten Problemkreise und spezifischen Herausforderungen bei der Strafverfolgung im Darknet herauszuarbeiten und die Zulässigkeit neuer Ermittlungsansätze zu untersuchen. Die Komplexität der vorliegenden Aufgabenstellung ergibt sich nicht zuletzt daraus, dass Ermittlungen im Darknet nicht allein aus dem Blickwinkel des Strafprozessrechts, sondern aufgrund ihrer Grundrechtsrelevanz auch im Lichte des Verfassungsrechts zu betrachten sind. Ein besonderes Augenmerk der Untersuchung liegt daher auf den einschlägigen verfassungsrechtlichen Prinzipien und Grundrechten, die bei der Strafverfolgung im Darknet zu beachten sind.

Neue Ermittlungsansätze im Spannungsfeld zwischen Effektivität und Rechtsstaatlichkeit

Strafverfolgung im Darknet

Gripping, suspenseful, and layered with insight, this is the first full account of the infamous disappearance of Amy Lynn Bradley while onboard a cruise ship in the Caribbean—from the acclaimed author of True Crime Addict. In March 1998, the Bradley family—Ron, Iva, and their children, Amy and Brad—boarded the Rhapsody of the Seas for a week-long Caribbean cruise. The trip was a chance to celebrate Ron’s success at work and Amy’s college graduation. In the early hours of March 24, Amy Bradley—a pretty, athletic 23-year-old—returned to the family’s stateroom with Brad after dancing at the ship’s nightclub. Amy grabbed a blanket and went out to sleep on the balcony. A few hours later, her father awoke to find her gone. What happened to her remains a mystery. Did Amy fall or jump into the water? Did she leave the boat voluntarily when it docked at Curaçao that morning? Was she smuggled off against her will and trafficked in one of the island’s brothels?&nbsp; In a baffling case filled with false leads, rumors, and conflicting witness reports, the only certainty is that, nearly three decades later, the Bradleys are still looking for Amy. Now, acclaimed investigative journalist James Renner provides the first definitive account of Amy’s disappearance, enriched with his own personal narrative that explores themes of identity, loss, and the deeply human need to find meaning in tragedy. With empathy and a keen eye, Renner interviews witnesses who speak on record for the first time, offering fascinating new theories, and explores a little-known side of Amy’s life that may explain everything about her fate.

Eine Personengruppe wird in der Diskussion um die Vermeidung der Ersatzfreiheitsstrafe bislang vernachlässigt: obdachlose Menschen. Diese Menschen stellt das Werk in den Mittelpunkt und analysiert anhand leitfadengestützter Interviews, welchen Einschränkungen sie bei der Wahrnehmung Gemeinnütziger Arbeit unterliegen und welche Optimierungsmöglichkeiten bestehen. Die Arbeit zeigt sowohl Hindernisse auf, die in der Lebenswelt der Obdachlosigkeit an sich begründet liegen als auch solche, die in den Einstellungen, Motiven und Verhaltensweisen der obdachlosen Geldstrafenschuldner wurzeln. Trotz der Heterogenität der Menschen bestehen große Spielräume dafür, die Gemeinnützige Arbeit den Betroffenen verstärkt zugänglich zu machen.

Forensics For Dummies

Enclosure Fire Dynamics, Second Edition

A dark, suspenseful, Wisconsin-set thriller with a rich (opened) vein of pitch-black humour, this standalone novel sees No Rest for the Wicked's pathologist heroine Dolores Diaz return to the Midwest to investigate a suspicious, grisly death in a small-town slaughterhouse. Perfect for fans of&nbsp;Ronald Malfi and Rachel Harrison. A lot has happened in Dolores Hawthorne's life since the events of last Halloween. She's divorced, traded being a forensic pathologist for a job as a medical examiner, and now lives in small-town Wisconsin, close-but not too close-to her family. Dolores doesn't have much in the way of work, but that all changes when a body is found at the local slaughterhouse. Benedict Marcy owned Marcy's Meats, and is affectionately called Mr. Mercy across the region. This high-profile case quickly catches the attention of Dolores's friends at the FBI. From the very beginning, this case is full of contradictions and surprises, and the team quickly learns someone is willing to go to extreme lengths to stop them from finding out the truth behind Benedict Marcy's murder.
