The nature of alcohol problems is very diverse and the strategies
adopted for minimising these vary even more. Thinking in the study
of alcohol problems in the 1970s and early 1980s had focused on the
public health perspective, seeking not only to lessen alcohol
problems by controlling the availability of alcohol, but also to
promote moderate drinking practices and to preserve the positive
advantages of alcohol use. Originally published in 1983, a detailed
review of public health issues in this field at the time opens the
book. This is followed by an examination of alcohol-related
problems and policies for their control in sixteen different
European countries. The chapters on individual countries provide a
source of information and data on alcohol policies, consumption and
problems with which it is possible to examine from a cross-cultural
and comparative basis the claims of a public health perspective.
The final chapter draws together the cross-national data and
discusses their implications for a public health response to
alcohol problems. This book should now be a historical reference
source for all interested in health policy in general and alcohol
problems in particular.
Originally published in 1983. This Dictionary provides a
wide-ranging guide to concepts and terminology frequently used in
criminology. It will not only inform and stimulate, but will also
bring clarity and integration to a subject where the understanding
of key words and phrases is essential. Entries include concise
information on definition, use, inter-connection, and notes on
relevant literature. Assembled thus in one volume, the entries
supply an overall view of criminology, which makes the Dictionary
an essential reference text for students and working professionals
in criminology, forensic medicine, law, the police and prison
services, psychiatry, psychology, social work and sociology.
Originally published in 1986. Based on interviews with men in
prison, this study takes two groups of convicted criminals: men
convicted of robbery, and, for comparison, a sample of men
convicted for breaking into commercial premises. It focuses on how
victims are chosen, the decision-making processes involved, and the
characteristics of those selected and those rejected as unsuitable
potential victim material. Also described are the pattern of the
crime (time, place, gain), and the ways in which people become
involved in it. Allowing several convicted robbers describe in
their own way why they did it and what they thought and felt about
it, Dermot Walsh presents a disquieting picture, in which robbery
appears to be an attractive proposition to several different groups
of men, facing quite different circumstances, and for different
reasons.

1960s British horror adapted from Edgar Allan Poe's short story of
the same name. Edgar Marsh (Laurence Payne) is a quiet librarian
with an obsessive nature. When he falls for his neighbour, Betty
Clare (Adrienne Corri), who is having an affair with his friend,
Carl Loomis (Dermot Walsh), Edgar becomes increasingly jealous.
Driven into a mad rage, he brutally murders Carl, but, unable to
bear the guilt, Edgar is haunted by the sound of his victim's
beating heart.
This book assesses the powers, practices, and processes of Garda
(Ireland's police force) for compliance with international best
practice in human rights standards. It offers a unique critique of
the law, policy, and practice on policing in Ireland from a human
rights perspective. The book is divided into four sections, with
Part I examining human rights and policing in general. It offers a
detailed and comprehensive account of human rights standards
applicable to key aspects of policing, such as: arrest * detention
* interrogation * the right of access to legal advice and medical
treatment * the taking bodily samples * stop and question/search *
entry, search, and seizure * surveillance * the use of informers *
the improper use of intelligence * public order * the use of force
* the treatment of victims * the treatment of ethnic minorities *
complaints * internal discipline * accountability to the law *
governance and democratic accountability * gender and diversity in
the composition of the police organization * the rights of police
officers with respect to trade union membership, political
activity, and disciplinary procedures. The human rights standards
on each of these aspects are extracted from international sources,
such as: the European Convention on Human Rights, the International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the UN Basic Principles on
the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials, the
Council of Europe's Code of Police Ethics, the reports of the
Council of Europe's Committee on the Prevention of Torture, the
jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, and examples
of best practice from other jurisdictions. This is supplemented by
an account of relevant Irish human rights standards as extracted
from Ireland's Constitution, the common law, and legislation. On
each of these key aspects of policing, attention is drawn to how
and where Irish law falls short of international best practice and
what is needed to remedy the deficiencies. Part II offers a
structured and comprehensive account of the human rights concerns
that have affected policing in Ireland over the past decade or so.
It gives an overview of the human rights failings that have been
revealed by sources, such as: the Morris Tribunal of Inquiry into
events in Donegal * the Barr Tribunal into the fatal shooting of
John Carthy at Abbeylara * the Garda Siochana Complaints Board and
Ombudsman Commission * the European Committee on the Prevention of
Torture * judgments from Irish courts * the Ionann Human Rights
Audit on the Garda * investigative journalism. Part III offers a
critique of the Garda policies and processes that have been and are
being taken to address the human rights deficiencies outlined in
Part II. This includes an expert analysis of the internal
formulation and dissemination of human rights policies and the
monitoring of compliance with those policies and human rights
standards within the force. In Part IV, the book concludes with a
body of broad recommendations on the further actions that are
needed to ingrain human rights standards at the heart of all
aspects of policing in Ireland.
