Download or read book Chronicles of a Quality Detective written by Dr. Shrinivas Gondhalekar and published by Indus Source. This book was released on 2014-07-07 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality defects tend to be tenacious. Often they linger at a certain level, even after the most sophisticated quality management techniques have been deployed. This is usually because the root causes have not been accurately diagnosed. This book chronicles a series of eight dramatized, real-life cases, through the medium of a professor-protegee relationship, leading to a formal technique called Differential Diagnosis. This technique is unique, because it is based on "backward thinking", while most other techniques use "forward thinking". The real-life cases demonstrate how to overcome the difficulties of application, allowing the practitioner to transcend from knowledge to profound knowledge.

Download or read book Don t Look Behind You written by Ann Rule and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-11-29 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I’LL BE WATCHING YOU Walking home on a dark night, you hear footsteps coming up behind you. As they get closer, your heart pounds harder. Who is closing in with dangerous intent—a total stranger? Or someone you know and trust? The answer is as simple as turning around, but don’t look behind you . . . run. Ann Rule, who shared her own nerve-jangling account of unknowingly befriending sadistic sociopath Ted Bundy in The Stranger Beside Me, chronicles other fateful encounters with the hidden predators among us in this riveting collection, fifteenth in the bestselling series drawn from her personal files. First in line is a stunning case that spanned thirty years and took a determined detective to four states—ending, finally, in Alaska—where he unraveled not one but two murders. A second case appears to begin and end with the hunt for the Green River Killer, focusing on a Washington State man who was once cleared as a suspect in that deadly chain of homicides. But the millionaire property owner believed he had successfully buried his own murderous past and the awful truth behind his young wife’s disappearance. She vanished soon after she left for a day at the Seattle World’s Fair, and her three small children grew up believing their mother had abandoned them. But one amazing witness remained—the missing woman’s best friend, who heard her last words in a frantic phone call—“He’s coming!”—before the line went dead. Only since Robert Hansen’s suicide has the monster within been revealed. In another true story, a petite woman went to a tavern, looking only for conversation and fun. Instead, she met violent death in the form of a seven-foot man who had seemed shy and harmless. You’ll feel a chill as you uncover these and numerous other cases of unfortunate victims who made one tragic mistake: trusting the wrong person—even someone they’d known intimately, or thought they knew.

Download or read book Brazilian Detective Chronicles written by Luís Fernando de Lima Júnior and published by Luís Fernando de Lima Júnior. This book was released on 2023-07-26 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much is a life worth? Are some lives more or less important? For the investigators at the Homicide Division of São José dos Campos, the answer is, 'every life is worth it and represents a loss to those who love them.' 'Our day begins when yours ends…' It's truly a grim but fitting motto, as the dedication and commitment of the police officers are the deciding factor in surpassing the state average of 42% homicide clearance rate. The motto is fitting because the dedication and effort of these officers compensate for the well-known lack of infrastructure, the true bottleneck of all public services. Most people view public service (including the Police) as bureaucracy that hinders everything and favours those who merely seek a position. What they don't realize is that the position carries a responsibility and a duty of dedication that surpasses any private job. There is no overtime, no stomachache, no excuse. If the phone rings and the call is to attend a crime scene, even in the dead of night, every second counts. After all, it's not just another case or an inert body. It's a grieving family that awaits justice to bring some comfort. Conceptually, police investigation is a technical activity, rooted in the production and construction of knowledge about facts and people, solely for the purpose of providing procedural instruction through written reports. Naturally, this requires technical expertise to gather information and discernment to understand and transform it into knowledge, as well as writing skills to put an explanation of the facts, circumstances, and individuals involved on paper clearly. In other words, it's not for just anyone. In practice, investigation is an art, and Brazilian Detective Chronicles tells us a bit about this through real cases solved by the former Homicide Team of the General Investigations Department, now the 3rd Homicide Division of the Specialized Criminal Investigations Division of São José dos Campos. It's no wonder our city is a national reference. With an annual average of 80 cases in 2016, the team cleared 70% of homicides, even with a shortage of personnel and the precariousness of working conditions choking the investigative efforts. Today, the numbers are even better (less than 40 homicides per year and more than 75% of cases cleared), making São José dos Campos one of the best and safest cities in Brazil. In this book, through the account of real cases, we reflect on the causes of criminality and present some conclusions that necessarily depend on a government focus on public policies for education and youth promotion. The idea has always been to explain, in an accessible way, how investigations unfold and how we reached the level of national reference. It wasn't easy, but we tried to make the narrative as enjoyable and enlightening as possible. After all, this is our history, our vocation, and the reason we do not hesitate to move forward in the face of danger.

Download or read book The Man Who Loved Books Too Much written by Allison Hoover Bartlett and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-09-17 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of The Orchid Thief, a compelling narrative set within the strange and genteel world of rare-book collecting: the true story of an infamous book thief, his victims, and the man determined to catch him. Rare-book theft is even more widespread than fine-art theft. Most thieves, of course, steal for profit. John Charles Gilkey steals purely for the love of books. In an attempt to understand him better, journalist Allison Hoover Bartlett plunged herself into the world of book lust and discovered just how dangerous it can be. John Gilkey is an obsessed, unrepentant book thief who has stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of rare books from book fairs, stores, and libraries around the country. Ken Sanders is the self-appointed "bibliodick" (book dealer with a penchant for detective work) driven to catch him. Bartlett befriended both outlandish characters and found herself caught in the middle of efforts to recover hidden treasure. With a mixture of suspense, insight, and humor, she has woven this entertaining cat-and-mouse chase into a narrative that not only reveals exactly how Gilkey pulled off his dirtiest crimes, where he stashed the loot, and how Sanders ultimately caught him but also explores the romance of books, the lure to collect them, and the temptation to steal them. Immersing the reader in a rich, wide world of literary obsession, Bartlett looks at the history of book passion, collection, and theft through the ages, to examine the craving that makes some people willing to stop at nothing to possess the books they love.
