Criminal Profiling - How Psychological Profiles Helps Solve True Crimes

Lucy Doncaster, Brian Innes

Sinopse

Is there such a thing as a criminal type? Are criminals born genetically predisposed to commit crimes, or are they fashioned by their circumstances? Physicians, psychologists and criminologists have been asking these questions for many centuries, without finding a definitive answer. Criminal Profiling is packed with intriguing case histories that demonstrate the variety, sophistication and effectiveness of criminal profiling. The book includes chapters on the search for the criminal personality, early criminal profiling and the latest theories of criminality, and features the stories of Ted Bundy, Peter Sutcliffe and Andrei Chikatilo, among many others. Illustrated with 200 colour and black-and-white photographs, Criminal Profiling is a wide-ranging, authoritative history of this fascinating subject, from the first efforts at physical profiling to today’s computer-generated geographic mapping techniques.

Fortunate Sons - The 120 Chinese...

Matthew Miller, Liel Leibovitz

"With its surging storyline, extraordinary events, and depth of character, this gripping tale of 120 Chinese boys sent to America . . . reads more like a novel than an obscure slice of history." —Publishers Weekly, starred review 
 
 
 
In 1872, China—ravaged by poverty, population growth, and aggressive European armies—sent 120 boys to America to learn the secrets of Western innovation. They studied at New England's finest schools and were driven by a desire for progress and reform. When anti-Chinese fervor forced them back home, the young men had to overcome a suspicious imperial court and a country deeply resistant to change in technology and culture. Fortunate Sons tells a remarkable story, weaving together the dramas of personal lives with the fascinating tale of a nation's endeavor to become a world power.

"HEART WANT - LOGIC DOES NOT...

Saikhul Mabrur

Both, namely the Heart and Mind, are the basic ingredients for forming a humble person. 
The heart is like a small child who if left alone will endanger himself and others, Mind is like a 
parent who if there are no children, the completeness of the family becomes unbalanced. The 
heart will be good if it comes from wise directions at the level of reason, but it will be bad if it 
comes from directions to the lack of understanding of the Mind. 
This reason is also developed into a beautiful sentence from the scholars of wisdom, namely 
العقل السليم فى الجسم التسليم 
"A good reason is found in a good body" 
in that sentence, there are those who say that its application is very dialectical, meaning that not 
only is the reason mentioned first, all humans are able to implement it. the meaning of that 
sentence is that the body can be the first application. dialectic is one of the evidences of a fact 
where something cannot be 
a thing that stops statically or definitely, it is so easy to move position from the beginning to 
point A to point B, from being at point B a minute later it can be positioned at 
point A, the most important part in this case is Nothing Is Out of the Participation 
of the Almighty. Namely "a good body is very strongly bound to a good mind" 
then it becomes; 
الجسم السليم فى العقل التسليم 
According to the famous Cultural Expert and Scholar Emha Ainun Nadjib, the following are the 
various kinds of inversions of a dialectic, which are the diversity of perspectives and ways of 
thinking of every human being who is willing to process it, for the sake of continuity and 
suitability of a life path that is carried out.

The Power of Black Excellence -...

Deondra Rose

From their founding, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) educated as many as 90 percent of Black college students in the United States. Although many are aware of the significance of HBCUs in expanding Black Americans' educational opportunities, much less attention has been paid to the vital role that they have played in expanding American democracy. 
 
 
 
In The Power of Black Excellence, Deondra Rose provides an authoritative history of HBCUs and the unique role they have played in shaping American democracy since 1865. Drawing on over six years of deep research, Rose brings into view the historic impact that government support for HBCUs has had on the American political landscape, arguing that they have been essential for not only empowering Black citizens but also reshaping the distribution of political power in the United States. Today, HBCUs remain extremely important, as evidenced by the outsized number of black political leaders—including Kamala Harris—who attended them. Rose stresses that policymakers promote democracy itself when they support HBCUs and their unique approach to postsecondary education, which includes a commitment to helping students develop politically empowering skills, promoting political leadership, and fostering a commitment to service.
