Book Synopsis Essentials of Strategic Intelligence by : Loch K. Johnson
Download or read book Essentials of Strategic Intelligence written by Loch K. Johnson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A highly valuable resource for students of intelligence studies, strategy and security, and foreign policy, this volume provides readers with an accessible and comprehensive exploration of U.S. espionage activities that addresses both the practical and ethical implications that attend the art and science of spying. Essentials of Strategic Intelligence investigates a subject unknown to or misunderstood by most American citizens: how U.S. foreign and security policy is derived from the information collection operations and data analysis by the sixteen major U.S. intelligence agencies. The essays in this work draw back the curtain on the hidden side of America's government, explaining the roles of various intelligence missions, justifying the existence of U.S. intelligence agencies, and addressing the complex moral questions that arise in the conduct of secret operations. After an introductory overview, the book presents accessibly written essays on the key topics: intelligence collection-and-analysis, counterintelligence, covert action, and intelligence accountability. Readers will understand how intelligence directly informs policymakers and why democracies need secret agencies; learn how the CIA has become deeply involved in the war-like assassination operations that target suspected foreign terrorists, even some individuals who are American citizens; and appreciate how the existence of—and our reliance on—these intelligence agencies poses challenges for democratic governance.

Book Synopsis Policing Welfare Fraud by : Scarlet Wilcock
Download or read book Policing Welfare Fraud written by Scarlet Wilcock and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policing Welfare Fraud charts and interrogates the suite of measures ostensibly designed to combat welfare fraud and non-compliance. In Australia, which serves as the empirical focus of this book, these strategies include stringent ID checks, pre-emptive data surveillance technologies including the infamous and illegal ‘robodebt’ programme, a dedicated fraud hotline and an ‘intelligence-led’ fraud investigation framework. Drawing on original documentary and interview data, including interviews with fraud investigators, this book unpacks the logics that underpin these anti-fraud initiatives with a focus on how these initiatives are imbued with logics and practices more readily associated with the criminal justice system. The central argument of the book is that the emergence of contemporary welfare compliance regimes represents a form of ‘governing through fraud’ in which the threat of welfare fraud has effectively necessitated a regime of criminalisation within the welfare state. This has been enabled by a broader process of neoliberal welfare reform, which has cast suspicion over all welfare use. The overall effect of this regime is to restrict access to social security, punish welfare recipients and stigmatise welfare use. Policing Welfare Fraud also highlights points of contradiction and multiplicity in the enactment of specific welfare compliance initiatives, including attempts by welfare officials to moderate or reformulate these strategies ‘on the ground’. These findings demonstrate that the criminalisation of welfare is neither uniform nor inexorable, and that more progressive welfare reform is possible. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, politics and those interested in the policing of welfare recipients.

Book Synopsis The Work of the British Law Commissions by : Shona Wilson Stark
Download or read book The Work of the British Law Commissions written by Shona Wilson Stark and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law Commission (of England and Wales) and the Scottish Law Commission were both established in 1965 to promote the reform of the laws of their respective jurisdictions. Since then, they have each produced hundreds of reports across many areas of law. They are independent of government yet rely on governmental funding and governmental approval of their proposed projects. They also rely on both government and Parliament (and, occasionally, the courts or other bodies) to implement their proposals. This book examines the tension between independence and implementation and recommends how a balance can best be struck. It proposes how the Commissions should choose their projects given that their duties outweigh their resources, and how we should assess the success, or otherwise, of their output. Countries around the world have created law reform bodies in the Commissions' image. They may wish to reflect on the GB Commissions' responses to the changes and challenges they have faced to reappraise their own law reform machinery. Equally, the GB Commissions may seek inspiration from other commissions' experiences. The world the GB Commissions inhabit now is very different from when they were established. They have evolved to remain relevant in the face of devolution, the UK's changing relationship with the European Union, increasing pressure for accountability and decreasing funding. Further changes to secure the future of independent law reform are advanced in this book.
Book Synopsis Secret Intelligence by : Christopher Andrew
Download or read book Secret Intelligence written by Christopher Andrew and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of Secret Intelligence: A Reader brings together key essays from the field of intelligence studies, blending classic works on concepts and approaches with more recent essays dealing with current issues and ongoing debates about the future of intelligence. Secret intelligence has never enjoyed a higher profile. The events of 9/11, the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the missing WMD controversy, public debates over prisoner interrogation, together with the revelations of figures such as Edward Snowden, recent cyber attacks and the rise of 'hybrid warfare' have all contributed to make this a ‘hot’ subject over the past two decades. Aiming to be more comprehensive than existing books, and to achieve truly international coverage of the field, this book provides key readings and supporting material for students and course convenors. It is divided into four main sections, each of which includes full summaries of each article, further reading suggestions and student questions: • The intelligence cycle • Intelligence, counter-terrorism and security • Ethics, accountability and secrecy • Intelligence and the new warfare This new edition contains essays by leading scholars in the field and will be essential reading for students of intelligence studies, strategic studies, international security and political science in general, and of interest to anyone wishing to understand the current relationship between intelligence and policy-making.

Firstly, to provide an examination of the history of the disclosure of information in advance of trial in criminal proceedings in England and Wales. This is done with reference to first principles, statutory and case law, and formal and informal practice norms. This examination will set the stage for the discussion of the law and practice of disclosure in England and Wales now in found in Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996, its Code of Practice, and the expanding body of relevant case law, and the Attorney General’s Guidelines on disclosure (2000). Secondly, to provide a detailed discussion of the current law and practice of disclosure in England and Wales by closely examining the case law, statutory provisions and guidelines. Finally, to discuss the way forward. The Government has indicated its provisional views in the Command Paper, The Way Ahead. Various commentators have made suggestions as to how the disclosure regime might be reformed. Their ideas are discussed, and original ideas are presented. It is hoped that the discussion will assist in formulating the necessary reforms to the disclosure regime.
