This introductory book explores the fundamentals that are generic to all types of investigations — criminal and otherwise. Using real cases to illustrate how investigators actually work in a variety of situations, it provides readers with a solid background for the more specialized training they will encounter on the job. Draws upon the author's extensive training and work with the FBI, U.S. Department of State, and as an attorney and corporate security director. Acknowledges that both public and private sector investigators have occasion to conduct investigations unrelated to crime — a topic largely ignored in other books. Emphasizes the investigator's objectivity in the conduct of all investigations. Devotes an entire chapter to the characteristics of a good investigator. Uses actual cases to illustrate how investigators work — showing how painstaking investigations can be, how investigators' personal traits affect their work, how in some cases luck contributes to solutions, and how some cases are never solved. This book will appeal to those preparing to be or currently are federal investigators, law enforcement officials, corporate security officials, attorneys.

This comprehensive, evidence-based examination looks at violence and security across the entire spectrum of education, from preschool through college.
In Violence and Security on Campus: From Preschool through College two expert authors take an evidence-based look at this important issue, dispelling myths and misconceptions about the problem and offering appropriate responses to it. Their book examines patterns, trends, correlations, and causes of violence, crime, and disorder in diverse educational settings, from elementary schools through colleges and universities. It reviews data and research evidence related to forms of violence, from bullying to murder, and it explores the varied security concerns that confront schools of different levels.
In addition to describing the nature and extent of the school violence problem, which is often divergent from media reports, the authors point to other security issues that need to be considered and addressed by administrators and security personnel. Finally, they assess a variety of policy responses and security solutions―some popular yet ineffective, some challenging yet promising―offering advice that will enhance the security of any institution of learning.

Violence and Security on Campus: From Preschool through College

Fox, James Alan

SECURITY: AN INTRODUCTION examines security's evolution from an emphasis on crime prevention to one of preventing losses attributable to not only crime, but also to waste, mistakes, accidents, and unethical behavior. Author Harvey Burstein looks at the loss prevention needs of businesses, institutions, and government, including physical and operational security factors. Based on the author's many years of hands-on, practical experience in the field, the text includes interesting narrative illustrations that provide studnets with a realistic picture of security. Using a balanced and practical approach that will appeal to both students and professors, Burstein discusses security as an academic discipline, focusing on career opportunities and lessons learned from the events of September 11, 2001. This text emphasizes that there is much more to effective security/loss prevention than simply using guards and hardware.
