Download or read book The Natashas written by Victor Malarek and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the black market, they’re the third most profitable commodity, after illegal weapons and drugs. The only difference is that these goods are human, to their handlers they are wholly expendable. They are women and girls, some as young as twelve, from all over the Eastern Bloc, where sinister networks of organized crime have become entrenched in the aftermath of the collapse of the Communist regimes. In Israel, they’re called Natashas, whether they’re actually from Russia, Bosnia, the Czech Republic, or Ukraine. Lured into vans and onto airplanes with promises of jobs as waitresses, models, nannies, dishwashers, maids, and dancers, they are then stripped of their identification, and their brutal nightmare begins. They are sold into prostitution and kept enslaved; those who resist are beaten, raped, and sometimes killed. They often have nowhere to turn. In many cases, the men who should be rescuing them—immigration officials, police officers, or international peacekeepers—are among their most hostile aggressors. The worldwide traffic in human beings is already a crisis of epic proportions, and it continues to grow. Victor Malarek here exposes the global phenomenon of sexual trafficking, a form of twenty-first century slavery and a multibillion-dollar industry whose scope has, until now, remained largely unknown. The Natashas is an indispensable and startling call to action to seek out institutional corruption and to put a stop to this heinous crime against humanity.

Download or read book Sexual Murder written by Louis B. Schlesinger and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-03-22 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexual Murder: Catathymic and Compulsive Homicides is the culmination of the author’s 45 years of experience with, and studying, sexually motivated homicide. Sexual murders are generally of two types — catathymic and compulsive. Catathymic homicides are caused by a breakthrough of underlying sexual conflicts. They can be unplanned, explosive (acute) attacks or planned murders stemming from a chronic obsession with, or disturbed attachment to, the victim. In compulsive homicides, a fusion of sex and aggression results in a powerful internal drive which pushes the offender to seek out victims to kill — and the killing itself is sexually gratifying. These murders also may be planned or unplanned. In compulsive homicides that are unplanned, the urge breaks through and disrupts the offender’s controls when a victim of opportunity crosses his path. The compulsive offender who plans his crimes often eludes law enforcement, and as a result he can have multiple (serial) victims over extended periods of time. Both forms of sexual murder — the catathymic and the compulsive — are presented in this volume from a clinical-descriptive perspective encompassing case studies with analysis. Recent advances in empirical research in sexual murder—including findings from the joint research project between John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit in Quantico—has published many important studies. These include such topics as necrophilia, foreign object insertions in sexual homicide, ritual and signature and temporal patterns in serial sexual homicide, mass murder, crime scene staging in homicide, and undoing (symbolic reversal) at homicide scenes. All such research will be included and incorporate into this fully updated Second Edition, including approximately fifty new clinical case studies.

Download or read book Death in the Air written by Kate Winkler Dawson and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A real-life thriller in the vein of The Devil in the White City, Kate Winkler Dawson's debut Death in the Air is a gripping, historical narrative of a serial killer, an environmental disaster, and an iconic city struggling to regain its footing. London was still recovering from the devastation of World War II when another disaster hit: for five long days in December 1952, a killer smog held the city firmly in its grip and refused to let go. Day became night, mass transit ground to a halt, criminals roamed the streets, and some 12,000 people died from the poisonous air. But in the chaotic aftermath, another killer was stalking the streets, using the fog as a cloak for his crimes. All across London, women were going missing--poor women, forgotten women. Their disappearances caused little alarm, but each of them had one thing in common: they had the misfortune of meeting a quiet, unassuming man, John Reginald Christie, who invited them back to his decrepit Notting Hill flat during that dark winter. They never left. The eventual arrest of the "Beast of Rillington Place" caused a media frenzy: were there more bodies buried in the walls, under the floorboards, in the back garden of this house of horrors? Was it the fog that had caused Christie to suddenly snap? And what role had he played in the notorious double murder that had happened in that same apartment building not three years before--a murder for which another, possibly innocent, man was sent to the gallows? The Great Smog of 1952 remains the deadliest air pollution disaster in world history, and John Reginald Christie is still one of the most unfathomable serial killers of modern times. Journalist Kate Winkler Dawson braids these strands together into a taut, compulsively readable true crime thriller about a man who changed the fate of the death penalty in the UK, and an environmental catastrophe with implications that still echo today.
Download or read book The Mind of the Murderer written by W. Lindesay Neustatter and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study by a British psychologist explores the relationship between mental illness, murder, and the Homicide Act of 1957. In 1957, a new bill went before Parliament addressing the use of capital punishment in cases of murder. It sparked a debate—as relevant today as it was then—about how to prosecute a killer who suffers a mental illness or disability. In order to shed light on the terms of this argument, psychologist W. L. Neustatter published this study of recent homicide cases that touched on the subject. Here, Neustatter examines the minds of murderers known to be schizophrenic or psychopathic, or suffer from such conditions as epilepsy or paranoia. He also looks at a case of murder under hypnosis; a man who made, then retracted, his guilty confession; and a variety of other cases that fall into a troubling grey area of culpability.

During his twenty-four-year tour, he experienced twenty injuries! He was assaulted with fists, bricks, guns and even cars. - He was dragged down the street while making a drug arrest. - His rear window was blown out by a shotgun blast. - He was thrown from a second-floor landing. - His cruiser was hit head-on by a wrong-way driver. - His left bicep was torn while arresting a homicide suspect. - His windshield was struck by bullets during a high-speed chase. - His lungs burned when saving a child from a tenement fire. While serving, Mike was rewarded with smiles, gratitude and respect from: - A husband whose wife was revived by his CPR. - A young suicidal woman who wanted to know why he cared. - An inebriated man who appreciated Mike's respect. - A lost female driver safely escorted to a highway entrance. - A teenage addict who thanked Mike for buying her a Coke. - The families of homicide victims who found justice. - The suspects who were proven innocent. About the Author: J. I. Granville is a widow of a veteran police officer. She has one older brother and a twin sister (seven minutes younger). Her mother died from illness one month after her twelfth birthday. Her father was Thomas Granville, one of five brothers, who built the 1932 Gee Bee racing airplane flown by Jimmy Doolittle to win the world's land speed record. Years ago, J. I. Granville self-published a book, Farmers Take Flight, about the Gee Bee airplanes and the Golden Age of Aviation. She has one son and one daughter, each of whom blessed her with two grandchildren each. One of those four has made her a great-grandmother! J. I. Granville has been a waitress, a dental assistant, and a school bus driver. During her forty-years of driving, she has driven all ages from pre-school to her son's college hockey team. She has been a softball league coordinator, a scout den mother, a school reading volunteer, a community teen chaperone, a union steward and a writer of small articles printed in city newspapers and union newsletters. Until recently, she has always owned a dog—German short-hair Pointers, then Standard Poodles because the children had allergies. The death of her husband in 2016 ended their fifty-four-year marriage. They were high school sweethearts. For twenty-four of those years, they were members of the police blue brigade. Her book, Living with Fear, is a memoir—a dual autobiography/biography which creates one story about a dedicated police officer and his civilian partner— his wife. While he served on the front line, she served covertly, as she engaged a pernicious predator— fear. J. I. Granville discovered that if you live in fear, you will succumb. If you can learn to live with the fear, you can survive. She uses a pen name for three reasons. 1.) She wishes to protect her privacy. 2.) She does not wish to embarrass the city that did not clean its own house. 3.) She wants the reader to associate her family with any and all other police families.

Download or read book The Art of Insurgency written by Donald W. Hamilton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1998-01-26 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his analysis of insurgency war, Donald Hamilton first attempts to provide insight into a strategic concept he believes is little understood today, and to explain its complicated relationship to American policy failures in Southeast Asia during the post-1945 era of containment. The study develops a working model of insurgency, explaining it as both a unique method and type of war-making. Significant findings include the inability of policymakers to perceive a potential insurgency in Vietnam as early as 1946, subsequent American involvement in not one, but three Asian insurgencies during the 1950s, and the ultimate failure of the U.S. military to meet the insurgency challenge in South Vietnam. This inability to eliminate the insurgency led not only to the complete breakdown of the South Vietnamese government, but was the primary reason why further U.S. military action after 1965 would prove ineffectual. This historical narrative also follows the involvement of several key players, including the personalities of Edward Lansdale, Sir Robert Thompson, Archimedes Patti, and Vo Nguyen Giap, who through their life experiences and writings, provide a keen profundity into why insurgencies occur, why they fail, and why they succeed.
