Detective Files

Patrick B: Detective Files #7

Detective Files #7

A crime may last only minutes. The search for the truth can continue for decades.
Behind every famous investigation are the details that headlines leave behind: the overlooked witness, the unexplained movement, the piece of evidence that refuses to fit and the decision that sends detectives down an entirely different path.
Detective Files #2 returns to the files for four compelling true-crime investigations in which nothing is quite as straightforward as it first appears.
Following the evidence from the crime scene through the police investigation and beyond, these accounts examine not only what happened, but how detectives attempted to discover why-and whether the conclusions reached at the time still withstand scrutiny.
There are suspects who seemed certain to be guilty, clues that promised answers but produced only more questions, and mysteries that survived long after the original investigators had gone.
No invented conversations. No convenient rewriting of history. Just the people, the evidence and the questions that remained.
Open the files. Examine the evidence. Decide for yourself.

Detective Files #2

DETECTIVE FILES #1
Five crimes. Five extraordinary investigations. And five stories in which the truth proved far stranger than fiction.
A young woman is found brutally murdered in Los Angeles, beginning one of America's most enduring murder mysteries.
On an isolated German farm, an entire family is slaughtered-yet disturbing evidence suggests the killer may have remained at the property afterwards.
In a quiet Iowa town, eight people are murdered as they sleep, leaving behind a crime scene that would haunt investigators for generations.
A well-dressed stranger is discovered dead on an Australian beach with no identification and a cryptic clue hidden among his possessions.
And in The Vagabond and the Magistrate, another remarkable investigation demonstrates how easily an apparently straightforward crime can become something far more complicated.
Detective Files #1 opens the files on The Black Dahlia, Hinterkaifeck, the Villisca Axe Murders, the Somerton Man and The Vagabond and the Magistrate, examining the victims, suspects, detectives and evidence behind five fascinating true-crime cases.
Some produced suspects but no conviction. Some remained mysteries for decades. Others contain clues whose significance is still argued over today.
There are no invented conversations and no attempt to turn speculation into fact. Instead, the evidence is laid out as the investigators encountered it, allowing you to follow the trail and reach your own conclusions.
The crime has already happened.
The evidence is waiting.
Now open the file.

He could be your next-door neighbor, the guy that bags your groceries, or the clerk at the gas station. You don't know who he is or where he will be...she didn't.


 Women are coming up missing and it's up to two detectives to find out where the women are disappearing to. All the women and their cars come up missing during the day and with no witnesses. Whoever is taking the women is so good that they always pick a location where there are no cameras, at least they did until they slipped up and didn't realize the camera was hidden inside the parking lot security lights. 
¿
Taken and held prisoner in his basement she became his favorite. He would abuse her in ways no one wants to even think of, but she was living through it. 
¿
Follow the detectives as they try to find the kidnapper and the women, he kidnapped who are living through the torture of his madness.

It Begins With A Woman

EMS in Crime Scene: Role of Medical Emergency Teams in Forensic Cases addresses the different settings that occur in pre-hospital environments, along with the medical-forensic relevance surrounding evidence preservation. The book identifies the main difficulties in this subject to promote proper intervention. The main role of EMS will always be medical assistance, but it is also their job to ensure their safety, the safety of the victim and the protection of the local scene. This means of preserving evidence, even though it is an ancillary activity and is not meant to compromise care of the victim, is an important role of EMS. The objective of preserving where a crime has occurred is, from the outset, to keep the environment as unchanged as possible, that is, not to move and/or subtract objects from their original position (even if it is a firearm) and not to add elements that were not present at the scene, such as shoe trail marks, earth, hair strands, cigarette butts, etc.

Beneath the Bleeding

This book examines the changing police landscape over the past 25 years to establish how Police Leadership has evolved to meet this challenge. Through interviews with 35 Chief Police Officers in the UK, the author explores a range of policing issues such as crime investigation, terrorism, police governance, austerity issues, the role of the IPCC and public order provision. The book also highlights views on key topics such as armed policing, globalisation of crime and the structure of forces. Building on the seminal text Chief Constables: Bobbies, Bosses or Bureaucrats by Robert Reiner, which is this year celebrating its 25th anniversary, this book brings research on policing up to date with the modern world. An engaging and well-researched project, this book will be of great interest to scholars of criminal justice, policing and security studies.

Travis McGee

From a beloved master of crime fiction, The Quick Red Fox is one of many classic novels featuring Travis McGee, the hard-boiled detective who lives on a houseboat. &nbsp; She’s the opposite of a damsel in distress: a famous movie star, very beautiful, very much in control of her life. She’s just made one little mistake and now she needs Travis McGee to set it right. The money is good and Travis’s funds are in need of replenishing. But that’s not the only reason he takes the case. There is the movie star’s assistant—efficient and reserved, with a sadness underneath that makes McGee feel he’d brave any danger to help her. &nbsp; “John D. MacDonald is a shining example for all us in the field. Talk about the best.”—Mary Higgins Clark &nbsp; Sultry movie star Lysa Dean has gotten herself into a spot of blackmail, posing for naked photos while participating in a debauched party near Big Sur. If the pictures get out, Lysa’s engagement to her rich, strait laced fiancé doesn’t stand a chance. Enter Travis McGee, who’s agreed to put a stop to the extortion, working alongside Lysa’s assistant, Dana Holtzer. &nbsp; They begin by tracking down everyone associated with the lurid evening, and soon enough they’re led on a chase across the nation as murder after murder piles up. Further complicating matters, Travis and Dana’s relationship soon turns steamy. And just when he thinks he knows exactly where things are headed, one big twist shakes McGee’s life to the very foundation. &nbsp; Features a new Introduction by Lee Child

Advanced Forensic Science Series

Professional Issues in Forensic Science will introduce students to various topics they will encounter within the field of Forensic Science. Legal implications within the field will focus on expert witness testimony and procedural rules defined by both legislative statute and court decisions. These decisions affect the collection, analysis, and court admissibility of scientific evidence, such as the Frye and Daubert standards and the Federal Rules of Evidence. Existing and pending Forensic Science legislation will be covered, including laws governing state and national DNA databases. Ethical concerns stemming from the day-to-day balancing of competing priorities encountered by the forensic student will be discussed. Such competing priorities may cause conflicts between good scientific practice and the need to expedite work, meet legal requirements, and satisfy client's wishes. The role of individual morality in Forensic Science and competing ethical standards between state and defense experts will be addressed. Examinations of ethical guidelines issued by various professional forensic organizations will be conducted. Students will be presented with examples of ethical dilemmas for comment and resolution. The management of crime laboratories will provide discussion on quality assurance/quality control practices and the standards required by the accreditation of laboratories and those proposed by Scientific Working Groups in Forensic Science. The national Academy of Sciences report on Strengthening Forensic Science will be examined to determine the impact of the field. . Professional Issues in Forensic Science is a core topic taught in forensic science programs. This volume will be an essential advanced text for academics and an excellent reference for the newly practicing forensic scientist. It will also fit strategically and cluster well with our other forensic science titles addressing professional issues.

Ein Sportler, ein Hausarzt und ein Liebhaber - Mörder wie Oscar Pistorius, Harold Shipman und John Cannan haben gezeigt, dass in jedem Menschen ein psychopathischer Killer stecken kann. Der weltbekannte britische Kriminologe Christopher Berry-Dee hat zehn inhaftierte Psychopathen, darunter auch berüchtigte Serienmörder, zu ihren Motiven befragt. In diesem Buch beschreibt er jeweils ihre ganz besonderen Eigenschaften - wie etwa ihr Charisma sowie ihre Emotions- und Reuelosigkeit -, und wie sich diese zu einer absolut tödlichen Mischung entwickeln konnten. Denn nicht umsonst gelten sie als die erbarmungslosesten und gefährlichsten Killer der Welt.

Wie Psychopathen denken

This book provides a highly readable introduction to the role and function of the police and policing, examining the issues and debates that surround this. It looks at the 'core functions' of the police, the ways in which police functions have developed, their key characteristics, and the challenges they face. From the outset questions are asked about the conceptual contestability and ambiguity of policing, and different views of police roles are addressed in turn: policing as social control, crime investigation, managing risk, policing as community justice, and as a public good.

Providing an accessible introduction to the role and function of the police and policing, this book looks at the 'core functions' of the police, the ways in which police functions have developed, their key characteristics, and the challenges they face.

Policing: An introduction to concepts and practice

A leading criminologist draws on over 30 years' experience working with sex offenders to propose a new way of understanding sexual crimes The prevalence of sex crimes has become one of the most urgent, and most widely misunderstood, subjects of our times. We are living through a sea change in our attitudes to sex crimes, yet we continue to get things badly wrong in the way we respond to them. Drawing on over 30 years' experience, Patrick Tidmarsh argues that we need to find a new way to understand, investigate and talk about these crimes. He forces us all to question our own prejudices and assumptions - about both victims and perpetrators - and to question the social, criminal and judicial systems that mean that so few of these crimes ever end in convictions. Patrick Tidmarsh trains and lectures all over the world, helping police and other professionals to understand sexual offending, and to improve their responses to both victims and offenders. With calm authority and sensitivity, he sets out what has gone wrong, and proposes a ground-breaking new solution.
