  In recent decades, there has been increased focus on issues of systemic bias and inequality within criminal justice systems. Movements for reform have addressed concerns about racial profiling, mass incarceration, and the disproportionate impact of criminal justice policies on marginalized communities. 
    
  Alternative approaches to justice, such as restorative justice programs and problem-solving courts, have gained traction in many jurisdictions. These methods aim to address the root causes of criminal behavior and promote healing for both offenders and victims. 
    
  The evolution of criminal justice continues today, with ongoing debates about the balance between public safety and individual rights, the effectiveness of various approaches to crime prevention and rehabilitation, and the role of technology in law enforcement and the legal system. As societies change, criminal justice systems must adapt to new challenges while striving to uphold principles of fairness, equality, and justice for all.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  “Fromm crossed the boundaries of traditional disciplines to expound his view on the alienation of man in an increasingly technological world.” —Newsweek Erich Fromm’s basic idea was to look at the individual as a social being, and to look at society as an ensemble of many individuals who have not only mutual ideas and convictions based on a common practice of life, but also a shared psychic structure. With his concept of “social character,” Fromm created a new interdisciplinary thinking presented in this compendium.The Erich Fromm Reader exhibits the true genius of an original thinker in seeing the connections between overlapping knowledge from many different fields. Here, interdisciplinarity is not only a lip service but the impact of Erich Fromm’s unique social psychological notion.

  Money laundering is a serious crime that presents a heightened, yet underrated, global threat. Although often thought of as a victimless crime, money laundering significantly impacts the global financial system, which leads to further crime, corruption, human exploitation, and environmental degradation and causes tremendous human suffering, especially in the most impoverished populations. Recent advances in technology, communications, and globalization mean there are more illicit funds in circulation today than ever before. In order to catch these criminals, compliance professionals must learn to navigate an increasingly complex web of criminal activity. 
   
   
   
  In The Flow of Illicit Funds, Ola M. Tucker goes beyond the implementation of anti–money laundering compliance programs offered by most guides and provides professionals with a holistic understanding of the modern money laundering system. Using recent case studies, Tucker explains some of the most common money laundering techniques used by criminals today, describes the key role of the financial system in the disguise and transfer of illicit funds, and offers valuable insight into how financial institutions can protect themselves from being used as conduits for the movement of dirty money. The book concludes by offering suggestions to help compliance professionals better detect and deter money laundering.

  Efficient and excellent writing relies on one crucial pillar: note-taking. This skill is often underdeveloped or totally missing in writers, whether they are professionals or students. In How to Take Smart Notes (2017), Sönke Ahrens details the slip-box note-taking method known as the Zettelkasten. This technique, adapted to both written and digital notes, shifts the focus from memorization and searching for notes to developing ideas through the note-taking and writing process, which becomes part of the thought process. The slip-box system allows writers to easily store and retrieve relevant notes while enhancing their creativity in finding topics to tackle.
