Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Africa, grade: 4, University of Ibadan, language: English, abstract: This work articulates that Nigeriäs security is troubled by transnational crimes prevalent in West Africa by making an important argument that since West African states lack the capacity to uphold the basic demands of statehood within their territorial domains, they unavoidably serve as safe havens for trans-organized criminal networks, which has grave implications to Nigeriäs domestic concerns.

Johnny Robin Jørgensen var 33, ulykkelig og i en dyb personlig krise, da han i utide måtte forlade sit drømmejob i politiets højest profilerede afdeling, Uropatruljen, for at starte på politiets dengang absolut lavest rangerende tjenestested: politistationen i Københavns Lufthavn.Måske husker du serien "En gang strømer", hvor Jens Okking spiller en midaldrende kriminalassistent, der tvangsflyttet til lufthavnen drukner sine sorger i porter skjult i termokanden. Det lignede Johnnys nye virkelighed, da han havde første arbejdsdag i paskontrollen i 1992.De næste 30 år levede ikke op til fordommene. Johnny Robin Jørgensen blev en del af den specialenhed i politiet, som i en hektisk hverdag kom til at forvalte den stramme danske udlændingepolitik i et pivåbent EU. Han blev ekspert i at profilere illegale immigranter og menneskesmuglere. Han var en mester til at spotte falske pas og papirer. Og han fik dyb indsigt i forholdene bag de tonede ruder på en af Danmarks vigtigste politistationer.Johnny Robin Jørgensens biografi er en øjenåbnende, forargende og ikke mindst underholdende historie om et utraditionelt politiliv i kulisserne bag Københavns Lufthavns fine facader.PÅ GRÆNSEN handler om en mand, der landede på nederste hylde i politiets hierarki – og fandt ud af, at man kan gøre den største forskel, dér hvor ingen andre vil være.Bogen er skrevet i samarbejde med journalist Søren Baastrup, der står bag flere true crime-bestsellere.

In many U.S. 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. 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. Anthony A. Braga and Philip J. Cook identify the most beneficial evidence-based practices, offering a comprehensive guide for deploying the authority and considerable resources of the police to reduce gun violence.

First published in 1974, The American Prison Business studies the lunacies, the delusions, and the bizarre inner workings of the American prison business.

Hacking, espionage, war and cybercrime as you've never read about them beforeFancy Bear was hungry. Looking for embarrassing information about Hillary Clinton, the elite hacking unit within Russian military intelligence broke into the Democratic National Committee network, grabbed what it could, and may have contributed to the election of Donald Trump.Robert Morris was curious. Experimenting one night, the graduate student from Cornell University released "the Great Worm" and became the first person to crash the internet.Dark Avenger was in love. To impress his crush, the Bulgarian hacker invented the first mutating computer virus-engine and nearly destroyed the anti-virus industry.Why is the internet so insecure? How do hackers exploit its vulnerabilities? Fancy Bear Goes Phishing tells the stories of five great hacks, their origins, motivations and consequences. As well as Fancy Bear, Robert Morris and Dark Avenger, we meet Cameron Lacroix, a sixteen-year-old from South Boston, who hacked Paris Hilton's cell phone because he wanted to be famous and Paras Jha, a Rutgers undergraduate, who built a giant botnet designed to get him out of his calculus exam and disrupt the online game Minecraft, but which almost destroyed the internet in the process. Scott Shapiro's five stories demonstrate that computer hacking is not just a tale of technology, but of human beings.Yet as Shapiro shows, hackers do not just abuse computer code - they exploit the philosophical principles of computation: the very features that make computers possible also make hacking possible. He explains how our information society works, the ways our data is stored and manipulated, and why it is so subject to exploitation. Both intellectual romp and dramatic true-crime narrative, Fancy Bear Goes Phishing exposes the secrets of the digital age.

We had been there for over 12 hours. The man was still 30 feet up a tree, balancing on a branch directly over one of the main railway lines out of one of the busiest train stations in the country. He refused to talk to us, threatening to jump if we came too close. To him, we were the enemy. My job was to preserve his life.

Ten percent of the world's population lives on islands, but until now the place and space characteristics of islands in criminological theory have not been deeply considered. This book moves beyond the question of whether islands have more, or less, crime than other places, and instead addresses issues of how, and by whom, crime is defined in island settings, which crimes are policed and visible, and who is subject to regulation. These questions are informed by 'the politics of place and belonging' and the distinctive social networks and normative structures of island communities.

Det er utænkeligt - men kunne vi komme til at leve i et samfund med mindre kriminalitet, et samfund hvor vi ikke stjæler, slår, truer, ødelægger, snyder eller på anden måde forulemper hinanden i samme grad, som tilfældet er i dag? Og hvad skal der til? Hvad kan der gøres? Hvad skal der gøres? Det er temaet for På jagt efter Paradis, en jagt i fem bind.Det femte bind - Fra Valby til Valby - er det mest personlige. Det handler om forfatterens egne veje gennem livet og de forsøg, vi vel alle gør, på at nærme os Paradis - via de forudsætninger, forhindringer og muligheder, vi støder på - primært ”fortalt” til hans fire børnebørn. Unægtelig en smal målgruppe, men måske findes der også en og anden hist og pist, som kan have lyst til at læse med? Alt efter smag og behag kan man kalde det en blå bog, en biografi eller en samling af erindringer. Forfatteren selv synes, at det er mest rammende at kalde det notitser og episoder fra hans liv - fra Valby til Valby.
