Why would an innocent person ever confess to a crime they did not commit? Academia has conducted a great deal of research into this question and have routinely concluded that the actions of law enforcement officers and their interrogative tactics are largely responsible for these false confessions. Through the claims of academic researchers, expert witnesses, wrongful conviction advocates, defense attorneys, and even Hollywood producers, an ethos has been created which suggests that American law enforcement officers routinely overbear the will of criminal subjects and will stop at nothing in order to obtain a confession; even a false confession. This book finally brings balance to these flawed assertions by providing insights from real-world law enforcement officers who specialize in the field of criminal interrogation. This book also highlights the anti-law enforcement bias present within the academic community; the flawed and unrealistic research designs utilized to study the false confession phenomenon; and the rise of the lucrative false confession expert witness industry. In what can only be described as 'apoplectic, ' academics have already equated the positions in this book to "arguing against the existence of climate change" and have pleaded that it "should never see the light of publication." At last, a book has been written that reconsiders the false confession phenomenon from a law enforcement perspective and ultimately paints a drastically different picture of what takes place inside of America's interrogation rooms. This book promises to offer a different take on what many so-called experts would have you believe about criminal interrogation; and it's one they don't want you to hear.

Danger in Police Culture: Perspectives from South Africa offers a fresh perspective on how officers understand, interpret and construct danger. With unique insight from working with uniformed and detective police, the author breaks new ground as the first researcher to work alongside a Tactical Response Team in South Africa.Through ethnographic research in South Africa, Perkins explores the lived experiences of police navigating danger and death. Reframing the question of what makes policing dangerous, the author employs a theoretical framework as a prism, illuminating ambiguous ideas shaping perceptions of danger in police culture. A vivid portrayal of how danger is materialized through risk reduction strategies and artefacts, dramatized through memorialization and normalized in daily police practices, Perkins concludes by reflecting on policy developments aimed at addressing the understanding and influence of danger in contemporary policing.Underscoring the need to reconsider the concept of danger in policing, this is a much-needed assessment of its understanding and impact on contemporary police work.In support of the Perkins Síochána Scholarship, the author's proceeds from the sale of this book will be used to fund the continuing development of South African graduate students in Criminal Justice and Criminology studies in the Global South.

Fearlessly whistleblowing, shining a spotlight on the Police and the embedded rotten culture of dishonesty, wanton misogyny, statistical fabrication and evidence corruption. The author, an ex Manchester police officer has chosen to highlight the Greater Manchester Police, said to have "lost its moral compass" by an ex Detective Superintendent and is "Rotten to its Core" by a leading Kings Council. This book is a contextual hard hitting, factual expose of alleged police leadership, with a continual backdrop of corruption, evidence fabrication, lies and training failures during a lengthy period of 'service' of seven naively selected Chief Constables of Greater Manchester Police. All successively 'defending the indefensible' in their own style but growing to mammoth proportions, and yet still unrecognized by choice at Government levels. The accepted status quo amongst Chief Constables and Senior Officers continued to promote the lies, fabrication of statistics and evidence. All whilst wallowing in the cesspit of corruption, built over many years with a blasé acceptance of being untouchable and if at all investigated internally by similar perpetrators. The National Media whilst dutifully reporting recent popular prosecutions of lowly Constables at the 'pointed end' for a wide variety of hitherto ignored and accepted criminal practices does not recognize the historical basis. The fact that the current higher ranks, proclaiming disgust, were once lowly constables indulging in what was always accepted practices and now hidden from the public gaze with an air of recent 'successes'.... Short and very selective memories, comes to mind.

I was a police officer and special operations soldier for a combined 18 years. I had a loving wife, healthy kids, great friends, and perfect home. I was living the American dream. I trained my heart out every day to keep the peace in the community. Sacrificing my life and health to protect America both at home and over seas. Then I got involved in the infamous Breonna Taylor case. I was involved in the riots. I saw my friends getting hurt and maimed. I saw my community in flames. In a single moment I lashed out against a rioter. I was prosecuted and imprisoned and my American dream turned to tragedy for all involved.

"A propulsive story of a new breed of investigators who have cracked the Bitcoin blockchain, taking once-anonymous realms of money, drugs, and violence and holding them up to the light Black markets have always thrived in the shadows of society. Increasingly, these enterprises-drug dealing, money laundering, human trafficking, terrorist funding-have found their shadows online. Digital crime lords inhabiting lawless corners of the internet have operated more freely than their analog counterparts could have ever dreamed of. At the heart of their massive conspiracies: cryptocurrency. By transacting not in dollars or pounds but in Bitcoin-a currency with anonymous ledgers, overseen by no government, beholden to no bankers-black marketeers robbed law enforcement for years of their chief method of cracking down on criminal markets, namely, following the money. But what if the centerpiece of this dark economy held a secret, fatal flaw? What if their currency wasn't so cryptic after all? An investigator using the right mixture of technical wizardry, financial forensics, and old-fashioned persistence could crack open an entire world of crime. Men with No Names is a story of crime and consequences unlike any other. With unprecedented access to the major players in federal law enforcement and private industry, veteran cybersecurity reporter Andy Greenberg tells an astonishing saga of criminal empires built and destroyed. He introduces an IRS agent with a defiant streak; a Bitcoin-tracing Danish entrepreneur; and a colorful ensemble of hardboiled agents and prosecutors as they delve deep into the crypto-underworld. The result is a thrilling, globe-spanning story of dirty cops, drug bazaars, sex-abuse rings, and the biggest takedown of an online narcotics market in the history of the internet. This is a cat-and-mouse story and a tale of a technological one-upmanship that's utterly of our time. Filled with canny maneuvering and shocking twists, it answers a provocative question: How would some of the world's most brazen criminals behave if they were sure they could never get caught?"--

Bradley Kuhns was a regular guy who happened to be very good at his job. That was the troubled --- he was too good. Even worse, he was honest.A smart, exceptionally skilled polygraph examiner (lie detector examiner), felt honored to enter the ranks of the elite Los Angeles Police Department.He soon discovered, though, that by the 1980s when he joined LAPD the polygraph section was coasting on its reputation, filled with marginally competent examiners who routinely manipulated and falsified the results of lie detector exams in exchange for gifts of cash and liquor. Promotions were handed to those who played along, while the few who didn't might find themselves on the losing end of an "unfortunate accident."Brad Kuhns offers a disturbing memoir that details the intimidation, threats and attempts on his life. With his heart on his sleeve, he chronicles the toll the stress took on his health and weighs the heavy burden of fear and torment suffered by the women close to him. Kuhns ultimately went into hiding for two decades with only a select few trustworthy souls knowing the full extent of his chilling, touching story -- until now.

Racoons are not the only bandits wearing masks in the wilderness. Growing up, author Kennie Prince spent most of his time in the woods and creeks near his home in Rankin County, Mississippi.

Using a multidisciplinary approach that draws from fields such as history, American studies, ethnic studies, criminology, higher education, and sociology, this volume both provides historical context and explores new directions in the burgeoning field of critical campus police studies"--

In 2011, recently elected Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker introduced his version of "dropping a bomb" with the Budget Repair Bill. A View from the Interior covers the thirty tense days following his announcement that would put an end to public unions in Wisconsin. One and a half million people descended upon the Capitol building in Madison, jamming its hallways and flooding its grounds to protest. Author Susan Riseling, Chief of Police, University of Wisconsin-Madison, offers a compelling insider's perspective of those protests, based on hundreds of pages of actual police reports and other documents from those history-making days.

On January 6, 2021, the nation watched in horror as a violent mob stormed the United States Capitol building. It was an unprecedented attack on our democracy and its devastating consequences are still reverberating throughout our country. In the days that followed, it has become clear that prior to this tragic event, several federal agencies identified credible threats leading up to the MAGA I and MAGA II demonstrations in Washington D.C., yet many questions remain about how those threats were assessed and responded to.The General Accounting Office (GAO) report 'Capitol Attack' dives deep into these questions using open source data and related threat products to investigate what went wrong. Their findings show a complex web of intelligence gathering from multiple teams that was considered by some personnel but not acted upon until it was too late. With clarity borne from unwavering dedication to uncovering the truth - no matter how inconvenient or uncomfortable - GAO's careful analysis shines a light on weaknesses in both communication infrastructure as well as internal processes used for threat assessment at federal agencies spanning multiple administrations. This outstanding work serves not only to unearth lessons learned through tragedy but also demonstrates best practices academics, practitioners, business owners can leverage moving forward when investigating risk scenarios coming from any originator: foreign actors or groups sparked by social media platform manipulation of citizens right here at home.Capitol Attack should be required reading for anyone who places importance on security operations ¿Äì including national security experts, heads of state departments/agencies domestic safety organizations small business owners ¿Äì so they may better understand how they can protect themselves against future attack attempts while avoiding senseless loss of life.This book is annotated by Nimble AI and includes a Foreword by Cincinnatus; a variety of pithy, opinionated abstracts including scientific style, tldr, tldr one word, Explain It to Me Like I'm Five Years Old, and Action Items; tools for viewpoint diversity such as Red Team Critiques, and MAGA Perspectives; and a recursive summary with synopsis.
