Book excerpt: Interest in the spatial distribution of crime and criminals has experienced a virtual explosion over the past several years. In Space, Time, and Crime, the authors provide an overview of the various theoretical explanations, crime control policies, and practical investigative tools used to identify high crime places, spaces, and times. Throughout the text, Lersch and Hart strive to provide a highly readable, informative discussion of the important issues surrounding the geography of crime, providing real world examples as well as illustrations from previously published research. Space, Time, and Crime provides a basic overview of the more popular theories that have been used to explain the concentration of crime in certain places and times. Each theory is carefully and clearly developed from its historical roots to contemporary applications, with solid research cited throughout the discussions. The reader is then moved from theory into practice, where a summary and critique of a number of various theoretically-driven practical policy applications are presented. The basic elements of crime analysis and crime mapping, both very popular crime fighting tools for police agencies and place managers, are presented. Finally, the book closes with a strong Marxist-based critique of the various theories, policies, and tools, leaving the reader with some troubling questions to ponder. This fourth edition updates and expands the third edition by including dozens of figures and images that help visualize criminological research, essentially bringing the real-world of research to the reader and into the classroom. This new edition also incorporates new sections on some of the most recent advancements in the study of space, time, and crime, including a review of Risk Terrain Modeling (RTM) and Situational Action Theory (SAT). Finally, this new edition has incorporated empirical scholarship from over 50 new/updated sources, providing the reader with the most up-to-date topics discussed by the authors. PowerPoint slides are available upon adoption. Sample slides from the full, 203-slide presentation are available to view here. Email [email protected] for more information. Praise for earlier editions: "One of the best features of this text is its readability, coupled with the logical development of theoretical interpretation. Space, Time, and Crime is crafted to encourage students to examine familiar concepts from a distinctive perspective -- one that frames theory logically to enhance students' understanding of the unique and powerful relationship between crime and place." -- Mary Ann Eastep, University of Central Florida "The authors provide broad coverage of topics addressing the understanding, analysis and response to the geographic patterns of crime. They include helpful historical coverage of many criminological theories pertinent to the understanding of crimes at places and variation of crime across space. Lersch and Hart also discuss crime data sources and introduce applied crime mapping and crime analysis techniques and topics, as well as applications and criminal justice responses to crime in hot spots. Of note is an unusual presentation of the complexities and conflicting evidence provided by geographic restrictions and mapping of sex offenders." -- Tammy Kochel, Southern Illinois University

When Prudence's neighbour is murdered, unruly hormones are the last thing on her mind. No longer making her living as a clairvoyant, Prudence isn't sure where her life is heading or what lies in store for her relationship with Levi. Prudence may be itchy, sweaty, sleepy, and bloated, but that's not going to stop her from uncovering the secret of Levi's existence and living her best life. That is, if she can stay alive long enough to enjoy it. All Morgana Best books are humorous, feel-good stories. All are free from bad language, physical intimacy scenes, and all things gruesome.

Book excerpt: I have referred to Time Crimes as a "haiku novel." It is short, compressed and poetic, and allows a lot of space for readers to imagine and reflect. The narrative moves along quickly; one reader commented that it is "like a film script, in that it has a tight plot and sharply delineated characters." Time Crimes is a blend of science fiction, crime thriller, love story and meditation on the meaning of time. In the course of the novel, some of the main characters travel back to the past and back to the future - not once, but three times! But as much as it is about time, Time Crimes is about the I Ching, also known as The Book of Changes. This ancient book has served as a source of divination for the Chinese for more than 3,000 years. Confucius, along with many other scholars and philosophers, used the I Ching and added his own interpretations and reflections. These contributions, compiled and organized over the centuries, have made the I Ching what it is today: a unique compendium of Chinese wisdom and tradition, the common source for both Confucian and Taoist philosophies. The ancient Chinese had a profoundly different perception of time than we do. This is reflected throughout the I Ching, which in itself is very preoccupied with time and its impact on the course of human affairs. In Time Crimes, these very old ideas are presented in a new context. The I Ching provides a system of knowledge to help one analyze and understand the pattern of events and changes in life. Through the 64 hexagrams, the authors constructed a method to aid in unlocking the secrets of the future and determining the surest way to live in harmony with prevailing circumstances. The I Ching emphasizes the cyclical nature of events, and the principle of "synchronicity," whereby coincidence becomes more than mere random accident. Moon, the central character in Time Crimes, is an expert in using the I Ching as a source of guidance and wisdom as he grapples with life's challenges and choices. It is, he says, like a stern but compassionate grandfather who dispenses good advice, common sense and caution, while suggesting ways to deal with problems that emphasize personal integrity and negate confrontation. "For lovers of self-knowledge, of wisdom," wrote C. G. Jung, the godfather of contemporary humanistic psychology, "the I Ching seems to be the right book." One of my favourite of the many comments in the I Ching about time comes from the first hexagram, "The Creative." When properly understood, it says, time is no longer a hindrance, but the means of making actual what is potential. This is a wonderful idea, as it presents time as an ally in the pursuit of enlightenment, rather than an obstacle. Ellery Littleton. Victoria, B.C. Autumn, 2004

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most research on organized crime reveals only a limited sense of its history. Our understanding suffers as a result. Space, Time, and Organized Crime shows how arguments about the sources, consequences, and extent of crime are distorted as a consequence of crude empiricism. Originally published in Europe in 1991 as Perspectives on Organizing Crime, this book is a timely blend of history, criticism, and research. Fully one-fourth of this new edition contains hitherto unpublished materials especially relevant to the American experience.Space, Time, and Organized Crime describes the background of Progressive Era New York. It then broadens its scope by exploring the changes in drug production and distribution in Europe from about 1925 to the mid-1930s. Block addresses such little explored issues as the ethnicity of traders, the structure of drug syndicates, and the impact of legislation that attempted to criminalize increasing aspects of the world's narcotic industry prior to the Second World War. He then goes on to present organized crime's involvement with transnational political movements, intelligence services, and political murders. Space, Time, and Organized Crime concentrates on ambiguities evident in organized crime control, such as the U.S. Internal Revenue Service's protection of criminal off-shore financial interests, and the contradictions found in America's war on drugs.Space, Time, and Organized Crime demonstrates that the essential nature of crime in the twentieth century (regardless of where it takes place) cannot be understood without sound historical studies and a more sophisticated criminological approach. Block's unique blend of stratification in a historical context will be of special interest to historians, sociologists, criminologists, and penologist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Time of the Crime interrogates the relationship between time and vision as it emerges in five Italian films from the sixties and seventies: Antonioni's Blow-Up and The Passenger, Bertolucci's The Spider's Stratagem, Cavani's The Night Porter, and Pasolini's Oedipus Rex. The center around which these films revolve is the image of the crime scene—the spatial and temporal configuration in which a crime is committed, witnessed, and investigated. By pushing the detective story to its extreme limits, they articulate forms of time that defy any clear-cut distinction between past, present, and future—presenting an uncertain temporality that can be made visible but not calculated, and challenging notions of visual mastery and social control. If the detective story proper begins with a death that has already taken place, the death that seems to count the most in these films is the one that is yet to occur—the investigator's own death. In a time of relentless anticipation, what appears in front of the investigator's eyes is not the past as it was, but the past as it will have been in relation to the time of his or her search.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines the main problems of criminal law of post-Soviet states through the prism of global institutional transformations in politics and economy, development of new information relations and stagnation of society. The main features and ways of impact of criminal law on social relations are revealed, where criminal law is given a new global function - ensuring security. For this reason, attention is focused on the essence of crime and criminal law impact. Modern mechanisms of instrumentalisation of criminal law are shown by means of changing the philosophical bases of legal research, projecting science on global problems of implementation of unified standards, expanding the boundaries of criminal law, shifting the emphasis from the institution of punishment to measures of criminal-legal impact, moving away from material constructions in the concept of "crime" and developing its formal attributes with the prospect of introducing the institution of criminal law into national legislation.

Book excerpt: A wonderfully wicked new anthology from the editor of The Penguin Book of Gaslight Crime It is the Victorian era and society is both entranced by and fearful of that suspicious character known as the New Woman. She rides those new- fangled bicycles and doesn't like to be told what to do. And, in crime fiction, such female detectives as Loveday Brooke, Dorcas Dene, and Lady Molly of Scotland Yard are out there shadowing suspects, crawling through secret passages, fingerprinting corpses, and sometimes committing a lesser crime in order to solve a murder. In The Penguin Book of Victorian Women in Crime, Michael Sims has brought together all of the era's great crime-fighting females- plus a few choice crooks, including Four Square Jane and the Sorceress of the Strand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Threats of terrorism, natural disaster, identity theft, job loss, illegal immigration, and even biblical apocalypse--all are perils that trigger alarm in people today. Although there may be a factual basis for many of these fears, they do not simply represent objective conditions. Feelings of insecurity are instilled by politicians and the media, and sustained by urban fortification, technological surveillance, and economic vulnerability. Surveillance in the Time of Insecurity fuses advanced theoretical accounts of state power and neoliberalism with original research from the social settings in which insecurity dynamics play out in the new century. Torin Monahan explores the counterterrorism-themed show 24, Rapture fiction, traffic control centers, security conferences, public housing, and gated communities, and examines how each manifests complex relationships of inequality, insecurity, and surveillance. Alleviating insecurity requires that we confront its mythic dimensions, the politics inherent in new configurations of security provision, and the structural obstacles to achieving equality in societies.
