  • Pages : 255 pages

Download or read book Deception written by Robert M. Clark and published by CQ Press. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The chapters on the exercises are a treasure chest of material to work with, covering a whole array of scenarios. . . . I think virtually every page and topic could spark robust and spirited classroom discussion starting with the text title itself." —Ronald W. Vardy, University of Houston "Most students have very little or no background [in this subject area], so Clark’s work is great to introduce students to intelligence and the analytical disciplines . . . a really excellent book that fills a gaping hole in the public literature and is of genuinely great value to both students and practitioners." —Carl A. Wege, Professor Emeritus, College of Coastal Georgia Bridging the divide between theory and practice, Deception: Counterdeception and Counterintelligence provides a thorough overview of the principles of deception and its uses in intelligence operations. This masterful guide focuses on practical training in deception for both operational planners and intelligence analysts using a case-based approach. Authors Robert M. Clark and William L. Mitchell draw from years of professional experience to offer a fresh approach to the roles played by information technologies such as social media. By reading and working through the exercises in this text, operations planners will learn how to build and conduct a deception campaign, and intelligence analysts will develop the ability to recognize deception and support deception campaigns. Key Features New channels for deception, such as social media, are explored to show readers how to conduct and detect deception activities through information technology. Multichannel deception across the political, military, economic, social, infrastructure, and information domains provides readers with insight into the variety of ways deception can be used as an instrument for gaining advantage in conflict. Contemporary and historical cases simulate real-world raw intelligence and provide readers with opportunities to use theory to create a successful deception operation. A series of practical exercises encourages students to think critically about each situation. The exercises have several possible answers, and conflicting raw material is designed to lead readers to different answers depending on how the reader evaluates the material. Individual and team assignments offer instructors the flexibility to proceed through the exercises in any order and assign exercises based on what works best for the classroom setup.

Book The Psychology of Social Networking Vol 1

Download or read book The Psychology of Social Networking Vol 1 written by Giuseppe Riva and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a novel approach to consider the available literature and research, this book focuses on the psychology of social media based on the assumption that the experience of being in a social media has an impact on both our identity and social relationships. In order to ‘be online’, an individual has to create an online presence – they have to share information about themselves online. This online self is presented in different ways, with diverse goals and aims in order to engage in different social media activities and to achieve desired outcomes. Whilst this may not be a real physical presence, that physicality is becoming increasingly replicated through photos, video, and ever-evolving ways of defining and describing the self online. Moreover, individuals are using both PC-based and mobile-based social media as well as increasingly making use of photo and video editing tools to carefully craft and manipulate their online self. This book therefore explores current debates in Cyberpsychology, drawing on the most up-to-date theories and research to explore four main aspects of the social media experience (communication, identity, presence and relationships). In doing so, it considers the interplay of different areas of psychological research with current technological and security insight into how individuals create, manipulate and maintain their online identity and relationships. The social media are therefore at the core of every chapter, with the common thread throughout being the very unique approach to considering diverse and varied online behaviours that may not have been thus far considered from this perspective. It covers a broad range of both positive and negative behaviours that have now become integrated into the daily lives of many westernised country’s Internet users, giving it an appeal to both scholarly and industry readers alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is gradually disintegrating as crime is at an unprecedented high. Crime is rampant in today's society and appears in all civilizations and cultures. Crime has austere costs and detrimental effects on the physical, social and psychological affluence of people globally. The biggest contributor to crime in the world is individuals who participate in frivolous and trivial acts in order to sustain themselves. In the contemporary world of crime, forensic science has advanced to the point where it can positively identify offenders. Since justice plays a significant part in crimes and punishment, it is bewildering and has transcendental value. Additionally, legal provisions compel criminals to be jittery, tumid, and contemptible and also oblige criminals to anticipate consequences beforehand. In this book, a multidisciplinary approach to identifying crime and comprehending the psychological, forensic, and legal components of the crime is taken into consideration. It gives insights of crime in the contemporary era and furthermore provides knowledge of modern tools and techniques involved in solving crime of discrete types. This book holistically explores the different approaches to understanding crime and its impact on the modern world. This book investigates the societal structures and processes affected by crime in a comprehensive way.
