Summary

Anti-Submarine Warfare delves into the critical role of frigates in modern naval defense, amidst evolving geopolitical tensions and rapid technological advancements. It explores how these surface combatants can effectively counter the threat of increasingly sophisticated submarines. The book examines the historical context of anti-submarine warfare (ASW), contrasting past strategies with current capabilities, and emphasizes the necessity of integrating advanced sensor technologies and well-trained personnel for effective maritime defense. One intriguing aspect highlighted is the cyclical nature of technological innovation and counter-innovation in naval warfare, demonstrating that advancements in submarine technology have prompted adaptations in frigate design and ASW tactics. 

 
The study progresses through three main sections. Initially, it provides a historical overview of ASW, tracing its development from World War I to the present, offering crucial context for understanding contemporary challenges. Next, it examines the technological advancements that have reshaped ASW, focusing on developments in sonar technology, torpedo design, and frigate-borne systems. Finally, the book assesses the operational challenges of modern ASW, discussing the limitations of current frigate capabilities and exploring potential strategies for enhancing their effectiveness, such as joint operations and the integration of unmanned systems. It uniquely focuses on the practical challenges of integrating new technologies while emphasizing a holistic approach that balances technological capabilities, operational tactics, and strategic objectives.

Policing Gun Violence -...

Philip J. Cook, Anthony A. Braga

In many US cities, gun violence is the most urgent crime problem. High rates of deadly violence make a city less livable, dragging down quality of life, economic development, and property values. 
 
 
 
How can police departments find the right balance between over- and under-policing of high-violence areas? What are the best practices for police to preempt and deter gun violence, while engendering support and cooperation from the public? 
 
 
 
Drawing on fifty years of research and practical experience, Policing Gun Violence argues that it is possible for the police to create greater public safety while respecting the rights of individuals and communities. While gun violence can be attributed to various systemic causes, Anthony A. Braga and Philip J. Cook make the case that violence is itself a root cause of social disparity and future violence. Effective law enforcement is a vital component of a just society. They review and synthesize the evidence in several key areas: enforcement of gun laws, policing hot spots, controlling high-risk groups through focused deterrence, enhancing investigations to increase the arrest and conviction rate, preventing officer-involved shootings, and disrupting underground gun markets. Policing Gun Violence serves as a guide to how the police can better utilize their considerable resources to make cities safer.
