Terrorist Financing, Money Laundering, and Tax Evasion Examining the Performance of Financial Intelligence Units Jayesh D'Souza Florida International University, Miami, USA
Tracking funding is a critical part of the fight against terrorism and as the threat has escalated, so has the development of financial intelligence units (FIUs) designed to investigate suspicious transactions. Terrorist Financing, Money Laundering, and Tax Evasion: Examining the Performance of Financial Intelligence Units provides a thorough analysis of the financing phenomenon from the raising of funds to government agencies’ efforts to interdict them to measuring and monitoring the outcomes of these efforts. This volume begins by presenting deep-rooted conflicts that have led to modern terrorism. It describes recent developments in counterterrorism and discusses the next steps in intelligence reform. The author discusses how financial crime is committed, examining the source of funds from money laundering and tax evasion among others, and the transfer of these funds. He then covers performance and risk management and the process of measuring performance using the balanced scorecard method. The book presents an overview of anti-money laundering and counterterrorist financing initiatives in several regions around the globe. It concludes with a survey of experts’ opinions on the efficacy of current programs and recommendations for improving government performance in countering terrorist financing and related money laundering and tax evasion. Knowing what to target and how to measure results are essential for performance enhancement in preventing and interdicting financial criminal activity. Establishing the need for accurate assessment of the success and failure of FIUs, the book demonstrates how monitoring and measuring progress is a crucial part of financial interdiction efforts in the fight against terrorism.

Mission-Based Policing John P. Crank, Dawn M. Irlbeck, Rebecca K. Murray, and Mark Sundermeier The research revolution in police work has uncovered a multitude of data, but this contemporary knowledge has done very little to change the way things are done in most police departments, where the prevalent form of policing is based on random preventive patrol. Mission-Based Policing unveils a new paradigm that transitions policing away from practices that while long held, have inadequately dealt with serious crime. This volume argues for a radical shift in the way policing is approached. It provides concrete recommendations for the fundamental reorganization of the policing institution and presents a comprehensive planning regimen for urban problems that encompasses security, urban reinvestment, and public planning. Topics discussed include: • Contemporary problems in urban policing today • Counter-insurgency strategy and how it might contribute to successful policing • The five central principles of mission-based policing: focus, effectiveness, deployment, integrity, and mission’s end • The concept of logical lines of operation (LOOs): planning, security, establishing/restoring essential services, and rebuilding • Strategies for police department reorganization guided by principles of mission-based policing • Potential issues raised by the concept or applications of mission-based policing, including practicality, command problems, and perceived risks Outlining a specific methodology for police redeployment, the book highlights the importance of fundamental organizational change that has as its end goal long-term reduction in crime statistics through effective crime prevention practices.

Creating Cultural Monsters Serial Murder in America Julie B. Wiest High Point University, North Carolina, USA
Serial murderers generate an abundance of public interest, media coverage, and law enforcement attention, yet after decades of studies, serial murder researchers have been unable to answer the most important question: Why? Providing a unique and comprehensive exploration, Creating Cultural Monsters: Serial Murder in America explains connections between American culture and the incidence of serial murder, including reasons why most identified serial murderers are white, male Americans. It describes the omnipresence of serial murder in American media and investigates what it would take to decrease its occurrence. Presenting empirically supported arguments that have the potential to revolutionize how serial murder is understood, studied, and investigated, this volume: • Places the serial murder phenomenon in a cultural context, promoting qualitative understanding and the potential for reducing its frequency • Includes an illustrated model that explains how people utilize cultural values to construct lines of action according to their cultural competencies • Demonstrates how the American cultural milieu fosters serial murder and the creation of white male serial murderers • Provides a critique of the American mass media’s role in the development and notoriety of serial murder • Describes the framework on which the majority of definitions of serial murder are based Drawn from years of dedicated research of Dr. Julie B. Wiest, this volume presents a new approach to the study of U.S. serial murder, offers important implications for law enforcement and mass media, and forms a basis for future research on serial murder, murder, and violence in the U.S. and in other nations.

Essential Criminal Justice Books from CRC Press Advanced Concepts in Defensive Tactics
Cyber Criminology Exploring Internet Crimes and Criminal Behavior
A Survival Guide for Law Enforcement
Edited by
Chuck Joyner
Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, India
FBI, Houston, Texas, USA
Today’s society is becoming increasingly more likely to resist the lawful actions of law enforcement officers. It is critical for officers to have the necessary defensive tactics (DT) skills to successfully overcome resistance in an efficient, safe, and legal manner. The answer to achieving these results is to first use a Risk Management approach and identify the most common and dangerous attacks on officers. Next, a successful DT program must stress core concepts, proper body mechanics, natural instinctive movement, and proven principles of survival. Advanced Concepts in Defensive Tactics: A Survival Guide for Law Enforcement presents the instruction of Master Police Instructor Chuck Joyner. Developed during his tenure as a FBI use of force instructor, the program relies on adhering to advanced concepts rather than memorizing countless techniques. Based on extensive research and actual street experience, this manual: • Focuses on defensive tactics that are easily taught, understood, and applied by officers regardless of their size, strength, or athletic ability • Covers hand-to-hand tactics, groundwork, weapon retention/weapon disarming, handcuffing, and the survival mindset • Explains the necessary integration of hands-on DT techniques with common law enforcement secondary weapons (e.g., baton, pepper spray, TASER) • Introduces a new use of force model (Dynamic Resistance-Response Model) which correctly depicts the dynamic encounter between an officer and a resistor by first focusing on the level of resistance by the subject • Offers practical solutions reducing officer, department, and municipality liability • Provides password access to the author’s supplemental training videos online The book offers a roadmap to direct and effective tactical movement and techniques that get to the very heart of officer survival.

Victimization through the internet is becoming more prevalent as cyber criminals have developed more effective ways to remain anonymous. And as more personal information than ever is stored on networked computers, even the occasional or non-user is at risk. A collection of contributions from worldwide experts and emerging researchers, Cyber Criminology: Exploring Internet Crimes and Criminal Behavior explores today’s interface of computer science, internet science, and criminology.
Topics discussed include: • The growing menace of cyber crime in Nigeria • Internet gambling and digital piracy • Sexual addiction on the internet, child pornography, and online exploitation of children • Terrorist use of the internet • Cyberstalking and cyberbullying • The victimization of women on social networking websites • Malware victimization and hacking • The Islamic world in cyberspace and the propagation of Islamic ideology via the internet • Human rights concerns created by the digital age Approaching the topic from a social science perspective, the book explores methods for determining the causes of computer crime victimization by examining an individual’s lifestyle patterns. It also publishes the findings of a study conducted on college students about online victimization. Opportunities for various criminal activities to pervade the internet have led to the growth and development of cyber criminology as a distinct discipline within the criminology framework. This volume explores all aspects of this nascent field and provides a window on the future of internet crimes and theories behind their origins. Catalog no.

Practical Methods for Legal Investigations Concepts and Protocols in Civil and Criminal Cases Dean A. Beers, CLI Forensic Investigators of Colorado, LLC, La Porte, USA
“Mr. Beers' exemplary performance can be traced to his merger of life experience with in-depth study of criminalistics and meticulous attention to detail. His investigations show a unique combination of ‘book smarts’ and common sense. … His work in both photography and medicolegal investigations is detailed, thorough, objective, and of the highest quality.” — Stephen J. Cina, MD, Forensic Pathologist, www.AutopsyReview.org
Legal investigators are responsible for providing factual evidence—as the fact finders, they are the foundation for the attorneys they work with daily. The attorney is responsible for forming and implementing the legal strategy and presenting it to the judge or jury. The legal investigator provides checks and balances to ensure that no evidence is being forced upon a theory, and that no theory is being forced upon the evidence. Practical Methods for Legal Investigations: Concepts and Protocols in Civil and Criminal Cases presents legal investigators with a step-bystep process that reveals how to methodically find and report evidence in every aspect of the investigative process. Similar to the scientific principle of using research to prove or disprove a theory, the author’s Investigative Protocol is designed to find the facts that prove or disprove criminal charges, civil allegations, or elements thereof. The book includes case studies that clearly detail how the process of the Investigative Protocol applies to every assignment of the case and to the case as a whole. Comprehensive and methodical, the system provides a map to the truth. Catalog no. K11990, February 2011, 382 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4398-4484-7, $89.95 / £57.99 Also available as an eBook

Criminal Law, Procedure, and Evidence Walter P. Signorelli John Jay College of Criminal Justice, New York, USA
Constitutional principles are the foundation upon which substantive criminal law, criminal procedure law, and evidence laws rely. The concepts of due process, legality, specificity, notice, equality, and fairness are intrinsic to these three disciplines, and a firm understanding of their implications is necessary for a thorough comprehension of the topic. Criminal Law, Procedure, and Evidence examines the tensions produced by balancing the ideals of individual liberty embodied in the Constitution against society’s need to enforce criminal laws as a means of achieving social control, order, and safety. Relying on his first-hand experience as a law enforcement official and criminal defense attorney, the author presents issues that highlight the difficulties in applying constitutional principles to specific criminal justice situations. Each chapter of the text contains a realistic problem in the form of a fact pattern that focuses on one or more of the classic criminal justice issues to which readers can relate. These problems are presented from both the point of view of citizens caught up in a police investigation and from the perspective of police officers attempting to enforce the law within the framework of constitutional protections.
