"This book offers an accessible and critical account of how intelligence analysis can improve policing. Written by experts in police higher education from across both academic and professional practice, this book equips students with both practical knowledge and a critical understanding as to the use and dangers associated with the use of intelligence. The book is divided into three key parts: Part One outlines how the concept of intelligence was initially embraced and implemented by the police and provides a critique of intelligence sources. It examines the strategic use of intelligence and its procedural framework. It provides a summary of the role of the intelligence analyst, establishing the characteristics of effective practitioners. Part Two describes good practice and explains the practical tools and techniques that effective analysts use in the reduction and investigation of crime. Part Three examines more recent developments in intelligence analysis and looks to the future. This includes the move to multi-agency working, the advent of big data and the role of AI and machine learning. Filled with case studies and practical examples, this book is essential reading for all undergraduates taking courses in Professional Policing, and Criminal Justice more widely"--

This book is not a handbook of criminology and forensic medicine but rather a tool that reviews socio-historical and scientific data and notes of methodology based on the different sciences aimed at the study of crime in all its many facets (sociology, jurisprudence, criminalistics, psychology, forensic neuroscience, and forensic medicine). The chapters deal with single aspects of the subject, such as juvenile delinquency, fraud, and the relationship between society, individual personality, and sexual criminal behavior. They then go into more detail, analyzing individual aspects of legal medicine in light of the evolution of the discipline between the 20th and 21st centuries, including infant and adult post-mortem examination and genetic DNA identification.

"À l'instar du ninja et du samurai, le yakuza fait partie des figures imposées de la culture et de la société japonaise. Largement représenté dans la littérature et le cinéma, couvert de tatouages, phalange coupée, langage rude et violence soudaine, il fascine et interroge : comment cette structure archaïque et quasi-féodale peut-elle perdurer dans un Japon démocratique, industrialisé et technologique ? Pour comprendre et éviter le piège de l'essentialisation et du culturalisme, une comparaison avec d'autres pays, notamment la mafia née en Sicile, permet de dégager des éléments communs, mais aussi de mettre à jour la spécificité de la pègre japonaise : sa proximité avec l'extrême droite, dans l'idéologie comme dans l'action. S'appuyant sur un méticuleux travail de recherche et une analyse originale, Philippe Pelletier démontre ainsi comment les yakuza sont nés à un moment donné, en un lieu donné, en réponse à une demande politique qui interroge in fine sur deux éléments : la nature réelle de la démocratie japonaise et le rôle d'une figure tout aussi emblématique que le yakuza, celle de l'empereur."

In contrast to analyses that view systemic violence in Mexico as simply the result of drugs and criminality, a deviation of a well-functioning market economy and/or a failing and corrupt state, Muñoz Martínez argues in Uneven Landscapes of Violence that the nexus of criminality, illegality and violence is integral to neo-liberal state formation. It was through this nexus that dispossession took place after 2000 in form of forced displacement, extorsion and private appropriation of public funds along with widespread violence by state forces and criminal groups. The emphasis of the neoliberal agenda on the rule of law to protect private property and contracts furhter reshaped the boundaries between legality and illegality, further concealing the criminal and violent origins of economic gain.
