Real Life with the Love Scammers of Lagos

In an era where battles are fought not just with code but with culture, this book explores the evolving landscape of cyber conflict through the lens of psychology, cognition, and information warfare. It delves into the hidden war waged across digital platforms: a war for attention, belief, and behavioural control.Drawing on research from psychology, the book examines how online spaces have become fertile ground for memetic warfare, disinformation campaigns, and cognitive manipulation. It investigates the psychological mechanisms that make individuals susceptible to digital influence, including cognitive dissonance, confirmation bias, and personality traits that shape vulnerability. From the motivations of hackers and propagandists to the architecture of viral misinformation, the strategic use of digital tools to exploit human cognition are unpacked. It also explores the role of personality psychology in understanding who is most at risk - and why - in the age of digital persuasion.Whether you're a researcher, policymaker, professional, or simply a curious reader, this book offers a compelling and timely analysis of the new terrain of cyber conflict, where minds are the battlefield and memes are the weapons.

Stern Crime - Wahre Verbrechen

Das neue Standardwerk über Mafia, Syndikate, Gangs und KartelleDie organisierte Kriminalität ist ein weltweites Milliardengeschäft. Die internationalen Aktivitäten der Kartelle als Drogenhändler, Waffenschieber, Kapitalanlagebetrüger, als Geldwäscher oder Betreiber von Prostitutionsringen sind weitreichend. Von den zuständigen Behörden sind sie kaum zu fassen. Waren die kriminellen Machenschaften zunächst noch sehr lokal ausgerichtet, entwickelten sich nach dem 2. Weltkrieg neue Organisationen, und die Kartelle führen inzwischen ein globales kriminelles Geschäft, das Regierungsführung, Gesellschaft und Weltwirtschaft beeinflusst.Der renommierte Historiker Ryan Gingeras erforscht in Originalarchiven und Fachliteratur das Konstrukt Mafia von seinen Anfängen im 18. Jahrhundert bis heute. Er gibt einen umfassenden historischen Einblick in die Strukturen und Geschäftsfelder der organisierten Kriminalität: Wo und wann hatten ikonische Mafiagruppen - wie die Cosa Nostra, Medellin oder die Yukuza - ihre Ursprünge? Welche Bosse gibt es neben Jesse James, Al Capone und El Chapo noch? Wie sind die einzelnen Organisationen aufgebaut und auf welche Weise entwickelten sich aus ihnen zeitgenössische Verbrechersyndikate in Russland, Nigeria oder Albanien?Angesichts der Weiterentwicklung der Verbrechersyndikate im 21. Jahrhundert hebt Gingeras die alarmierende Verwischung der Grenzen zwischen Gangstern, Unternehmen und politischen Führern hervor - ein Trend, der die globale Ordnung zu destabilisieren droht.

WIDER Studies in Development Economics

An open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 IGO licence. It is free to read at Oxford Academic and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. This book explores the emergence of wartime governance and its enduring effects on post-conflict state-building, development, and institutional change. Drawing on rich empirical research and original case studies from conflict-affected countries across Africa, Latin America, and Asia, it brings together leading scholars in political science, development studies, and economics to examine how non-state and hybrid actors govern during war, and how these forms of governance interact with, challenge, or complement state authority in the long term. Rather than portraying war solely as a period of state collapse and institutional erosion, this volume reveals the emergence of complex systems of rule that provide public goods, administer justice, and collect revenues. These wartime institutions often reshape postwar political settlements, influencing patterns of state legitimacy, social cohesion, and local development trajectories. By bridging disciplinary boundaries and combining theoretical innovation with grounded fieldwork, the book sheds light on key policy debates about peacebuilding, humanitarian interventions, and institutional reform in fragile contexts. It argues for a nuanced understanding of wartime governance - not merely as a symptom of conflict but as a central force in the political and institutional evolution of societies affected by war. This volume is essential reading for scholars, policy-makers, and practitioners seeking to understand the dynamics of authority, legitimacy, and governance in the world's most challenging settings.

Development and State-Building in the Shadow of Wartime Institutional Change

Institutional Legacies of Violent Conflict

Policing in the UK is currently experiencing a seismic shift in its nature, organization and purpose. This book examines the fractured terrain of UK policing and is the first to consider the myriad of issues and problems in policing across the UK

Governance and Accountability

Police and Policing in the UK

She shot her husband on a crowded Melbourne street.

Witnesses heard her shout, "I did it!"

Then she pleaded not guilty.

The case ignites the city. Newspapers circle. Society whispers. And inside the courtroom, two of Melbourne's fiercest legal minds go to war: a principled prosecutor chasing justice, and a flamboyant defence showman who plays to the gallery.

At the centre stands Kathleen Fraser: volatile, defiant, and impossible to ignore. Is she a cold-blooded killer? A woman dismissed as "hysterical" by her time? Or someone pushed beyond endurance in a world designed to silence her?

The Dangerous Wife resurrects a true crime murder trial that once gripped Australia. Now reconstructed in full from the original evidence. Court transcripts, depositions, private letters, shorthand notes, and hundreds of newspaper reports bring the testimony, contradictions, and turning points to life with the pace of a legal thriller.

What you'll get as a reader:

-A public shooting, a shocking confession, and a not-guilty plea that changes everything.
-A courtroom battle where strategy, reputation, and performance can decide a verdict.
-Evidence you can weigh for yourself, drawn from primary sources and contemporary reporting.

A vivid look at how class, gender, and public opinion shaped justice in Australia. Gripping, unsettling, and meticulously sourced, this is true crime for readers who want the law in action and a legal showdown where the stakes are life and death.

"A gripping true crime story told with the insight of a forensic legal mind." -Roy Maloy, true crime history

M. J. Checketts is the author of The Dangerous Wife: A True Legal Thriller, a meticulously researched and compelling narrative that resurrects one of Australia's most sensational courtroom battles. Drawing on his deep legal experience as a former senior partner of a major Australian law firm, he brings unmatched insight into the human drama and procedural intricacies of real-world justice.

Trained in England and based in Melbourne, Checketts spent his legal career advising on complex matters and now serves on several professional services boards. His writing blends crisp narrative pacing with the analytical precision of a seasoned lawyer, capturing both the emotional stakes and forensic detail that define high-profile trials. The Dangerous Wife is his first work of narrative non-fiction and reflects his commitment to telling true legal stories that engage, inform, and challenge readers.

A True Legal Thriller

The Dangerous Wife

America's Hometown has a dark side.
And the truth has been hidden in plain sight.

Hannibal, Missouri, is known around the world as the boyhood home of Mark Twain, a picturesque river town celebrated for its charm, history, and sense of American innocence. But beneath the postcards, museums, and storybook streets lies a far more unsettling legacy.

True Crime in America's Hometown uncovers the real crimes that shaped Hannibal in silence: brutal murders, unexplained deaths, disappearances that haunted families for generations, and scandals quietly erased from public memory. These are not legends or ghost stories. They are documented cases drawn from court records, newspaper archives, police reports, and firsthand accounts-many of which have never been fully examined until now.

From crimes that shocked the community to cases that were never solved, this book exposes how violence, deception, and injustice found their way into one of America's most beloved towns. Each chapter pulls the reader deeper into the shadows, revealing how tightly a community can hold its secrets, and what happens when the truth finally surfaces.

Written with the pace of modern true crime and the depth of historical investigation, True Crime in America's Hometown challenges the idea that evil only exists elsewhere. It proves that even the most charming places can harbor darkness-and that sometimes the most disturbing crimes are the ones closest to home.
Once you know these stories, you'll never see Hannibal the same way again.

Contributions to Finance and Accounting

Financial crime in the digital era has become more complex, sophisticated, and pervasive. With the increasing use of technology and digital platforms, criminals are exploiting new methods to commit fraud, money laundering, identity theft, and other financial crimes.&nbsp;Combating financial crime in the digital era requires a multifaceted approach involving technological innovations, regulatory measures, international collaboration, and the education of both consumers and financial institutions. As the landscape of financial crime evolves, the tools and strategies to combat it must adapt.This book highlights the idea that combating financial crime in the digital era is a complex task that requires the use of cutting-edge technology, effective regulations, and collaborative efforts among governments, financial institutions, and consumers. While the digital landscape provides opportunities for criminals to exploit new vulnerabilities, this book also offers tools that, if used effectively, can help detect, prevent, and disrupt financial crimes. The key to success lies in staying ahead of criminals by continuously evolving strategies, strengthening systems, and fostering international cooperation to protect the integrity of global financial systems.

Innovative Approaches to Preventing Financial Fraud

Financial Crime in the Digital Era

The Law of Financial Crime

Following the events of 9\11 individual countries and the international community became increasingly concerned about how best to prevent the funding of terrorist groups. Alternative remittance systems such as Hawala, where money is moved informally between a network of brokers in the Middle East, north Africa and south Asia have been identified as a potential source of terrorist financing leading to calls for greater regulation of such alternative remittance systems.This book analyses the risk such alternative remittance systems pose in terms of terrorist financing, offering a detailed overview of the historical origins and methods of operation of alternative remittance systems or informal value transfer systems. The factors that have come to ensure that these systems have remained operationally viable in modern times are identified along with the risks they present balanced against an overview of their actual misuse for illicit purposes to date. The book presents a detailed critique of the UK framework for the regulation of these systems drawing where possible on existing data to assess the use and effectiveness of these measures in practice. A range of options for mitigating risks associated with specific remittance corridors is considered ranging from initiatives that promote remittances through the banking sector, to efforts to mitigate risk and the impact on the delivery of UK overseas development aid. The book concludes with key recommendations as to the effectiveness of the current regulatory framework within the UK viewed from the perspective of international efforts to secure the regulation of these systems, and in stemming terrorist finance as part of national and international counter-terrorism policy.
