Together they are a perfect example towards the creation of effective risk management to reduce "real world" risks. And together you have a new and comprehensive resource on a subject that has been present since the beginning of the automobile. Everyone who drives a motor vehicle has the exposures covered in this material. We all want to protect the significant value of our vehicle. But more importantly, we need to protect ourselves from personal harm. While on the surface the topics presented may seem hard wired into our minds, in reality they need to be visited and revisited. They need to be shared with both new drivers and drivers of all ages. -Sam S. Revenson President Associated Risk Management "Jon Meyer has packed this small book with dozens of great tips for the safety conscious public. There is an old saying 'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.' This book is a pound of prevention." Prof. Arthur Cohen B.A., M.A. a.k.a.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the new, completely updated and expanded edition of the indispensable handbook used throughout the hospitality industry since The Laws of Innkeepers first appeared in 1972. Containing all the legal information essential to the successful operation of modern hotels, motels, inns, bed-and-breakfasts, clubs, restaurants, and resorts, the book has been extensively revised by John E. H. Sherry to accomodate the far-reaching changes that have occured since the publication of the revised edition in 1981. Sherry, a practicing lawyer and professor of hotel administration, carries over from the highly praised earlier editions detailed information on the rights and responsibilities of host and guest alike. He cites actual cases--ranging from the amusing and the bizarre to the tragic--as examples, and spells out in precise and readily understandable terms exactly what state and federal law says. Broadening the scope of the book to keep up with recent legal developments, the author includes many new case decisions and sumamries from various jurisdictions. Three chapters devoted to employment law, environmental law and land use, and catastrophic risk liability are among the highlights of the new material. These new sections present recent rulings and case law on such timely topics as age, disability, and AIDS discrimination, as well as sexual harassment; government regulation of toxic and hazardous substances and hotel and resort development; and acts of God and the Public Enemy and terrorism.

Download or read book Stealing Cars written by John A. Heitmann and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2014-05 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The technology-thwarting car thief has become as advanced as the cars themselves. As early as 1910 Americans recognized that cars were easy to steal and, once stolen, hard to find, especially since cars looked much alike. Model styles and colors eventually changed, but so did the means of making a stolen car disappear. Though changing license plates and serial numbers remain basic procedure, thieves have created highly sophisticated networks to disassemble stolen vehicles, distribute the parts, and/or ship the altered cars out of the country. Stealing cars has become as technologically advanced as the cars themselves. John A. Heitmann and Rebecca H. Morales’s study of automobile theft and culture examines a wide range of related topics that includes motives and methods, technological deterrents, place and space, institutional responses, international borders, and cultural reflections. Only recently have scholars begun to move their focus away from the creators and manufacturers of the automobile to its users. Stealing Cars illustrates the power of this approach, as it aims at developing a better understanding of the place of the automobile in the broad texture of American life. There are many who are fascinated by aspects of automobile history, but many more readers enjoy the topic of crime—motives, methods, escaping capture, and of course solving the crime and bringing criminals to justice. Stealing Cars brings together expertise from the history of technology and cultural history as well as city planning and transborder studies to produce a compelling and detailed work that raises questions concerning American priorities and values. Drawing on sources that include interviews, government documents, patents, sociological and psychological studies, magazines, monographs, scholarly periodicals, film, fiction, and digital gaming, Heitmann and Morales tell a story that highlights both human creativity and some of the paradoxes of American life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a story of how I got started on meth and how quickly things spun out of control until I was living on the streets which eventually progressed into crime while living out of stolen cars. The cycle of drugs, crime, and prison goes on for years, finally I hit treatment. After treatment I find success and a new way to live until I relapse but I look at addiction through a new set of eyes. I humanized the addict but would never ask for the reader’s sympathy because this is a story solely written to exploit the underground drug world and property crimes of addicts. This book is meant to give society a raw and uncut look into a car thief’s world. Exposing reasons of why cars are stolen, how they are stolen, and what happens to cars after they are stolen. An inside look into street crime. This story is engaging from the very first page and leaves the reader always wanting more. Targeting anyone who has had someone close to them with a meth addiction and more importantly, for those who live in cities and own a vehicle."
Download or read book Grand Theft Auto written by Vic Ferrari and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You might be surprised to learn crime does pay, especially auto theft. During the 1990s, New York City was averaging over a hundred thousand vehicle thefts a year. New Yorkers accepted their fate, frequently finding empty parking spaces where their vehicles were parked the night before. Victims called the police, who took theft reports without offering much hope they would ever see their car again. The NYPD's Auto Crime Division is a hundred and twenty-member unit created to combat auto theft, stopping those who roam the streets at night looking to steal your vehicle. Most Americans have been the victim of some form of auto crime or know someone who has been. What they don't know is why, how, or who stole their vehicle, or what happens to it after it disappears. Grand Theft Auto peels back the curtain, exposing the nuts and bolts of the auto theft industry.Would you believe a pair of nuns stole Mother Superior's car to go on a wild shopping spree in the Bronx? Or the double-dealing confidential informant who helped recover Mike Tyson's stolen motorcycle minutes before it was shipped out of the country? What about the diplomat's husband who drove around Manhattan in a stolen Mercedes? Or the silver-tongued three-hundred-pound car thief who managed to stay one step ahead of the law? Retired detective Vic Ferrari shares his unique insight and colorful stories from his days assigned to the New York City Police Department's Auto Crime Division. If you enjoy Live PD, are fascinated with police work, or want to know who stole your car, you've picked up the right book. Vic Ferrari, author of NYPD: Through the Looking Glass: Stories From Inside America's Largest Police Department and The NYPD's Flying Circus: Cops, Crime & Chaos, and Dickheads & Debauchery and Other Ingenious Ways to Die is a retired New York City Police Department detective with over twenty years of experience in the auto theft industry.
