This book addresses and reviews progress in a major innovative
development within police work known as evidence-based policing. It
involves a significant extension and strengthening of links between
research and practice and is directed to the task of increasing
police effectiveness in the field of community crime prevention.
This volume provides an international perspective that synthesizes
recent research results from the United States and other countries
- including systematic reviews of large bodies of evidence - to
illuminate several of the most challenging issues currently
confronting police departments. It examines recent advances in
research-based models of policing and the expanding base in outcome
evaluation. Key areas of coverage include: Managing the nighttime
economy. Supervising sex offenders. Tackling domestic/intimate
partner violence. Addressing school violence and the formation of
gangs. Reducing victim and witness retraction and disengagement.
Responding to mental disorders, safeguarding vulnerable adults, and
providing victim support. Leveraging public awareness campaigns. In
addition, each chapter presents an overview of key issues within a
designated area, synthesizes existing reviews, and examines the
most recent research. The book clearly and concisely presents major
concepts, theories, and research findings, thereby providing both
conceptual and analytic tools alongside an integrated presentation
of principal findings and messages. The volume concludes with a
discussion of current directions in research, key developments in
policing strategies, and identification of effective operational
structures for facilitating and sustaining research-practice links.
Evidence-Based Policing and Community Crime Prevention is a
must-have resource for researchers, clinicians and other
professionals, and graduate students in forensic psychology,
criminology and criminal justice, public health, developmental
psychology, psychotherapy and counseling, psychiatry, social work,
educational policy and politics, health psychology, nursing, and
behavioral therapy/rehabilitation.
The first authoritative assessment of Mario Buatta by a protegee of
the decorator. Never-before-seen archival material is culled to
present the design master as someone who remains impactful in today
s world of maximalist interiors. This book presents the design
tricks and decorative life of Mario Buatta (1935 2018), one of
America s most famous interior decorators. Drawing upon Buatta s
vast archives and revealing the foundations of his work, which
include hundreds of presentation boards, more than eighty
scrapbooks chronicling his career, and correspondence with clients
and such design notables as John Fowler and Sister Parish, Anatomy
of a Decorator illuminates the designer s work with a focus on
influences, process, and evolution. His very last projects, not
included in Rizzoli s comprehensive book on the decorator in 2013,
are evaluated and provide readers a masterclass in decorating a la
Buatta. Ribbons, needlepoint, fine English and American antiques,
floral chintzes, blue-and-white porcelains, lacquerware,
botanicals, vibrant color combinations, and whimsy abound. Chapters
include a close look at the important figures who guided his
trajectory, including Nancy Lancaster, Rose Cumming, Keith Irvine,
and Albert Hadley; an assessment of how the designer catapulted
from Staten Island without a college degree to become a household
name; and a breakdown of Buatta s design vocabulary and how-tos.
This book is an essential addition to the libraries of design
aficionados.
The book comprehensively leads the reader through the human body in
seven chapters dedicated to each area of the human body. It covers
the same level of detail and content with each illustration as a
standard academic anatomy book. A thorough evaluation of each
anatomical part is conveyed in double page spreads with summary
text to put the area in context and explain some of the more
complicated anatomical terminology and function for those
encountering anatomy for the first time. This makes this book a
perfect companion for those interested in anatomy, regardless of
their previous knowledge of the subject matter. This beautiful
luxury edition of Anatomy in Black features a gold foil embossed
black hardback cover, with black sprayed edges, gold ribbon marker,
head and tail bands, and packaged in a deluxe black slipcase with
gold foil motif and ribbon pull, making it a beautiful object to
adorn any anatomy enthusiasts' home.
The eagerly anticipated first monograph to celebrate the
fifty-years-and-counting career of decorating legend Mario Buatta.
Influenced by the understated elegance of Colefax and Fowler and
the doyenne of exuberant American decor, Sister Parish, Buatta
reinvented the English Country House style stateside for clients
such as Henry Ford II, Barbara Walters, Malcolm Forbes, and Mariah
Carey, and for Blair House, the President's guest quarters. The
designer is acclaimed for his sumptuous rooms that layer fine
antiques, confectionary curtains, and sublime colorations, creating
an atmosphere of lived-in opulence. This lavishly illustrated
survey-filled with images taken for the foremost shelter magazines
as well as many unpublished photographs from the designer's own
archive-closely follows Buatta's highly documented career from his
professional start in the 1950s working for department store B.
Altman & Co. and Elisabeth Draper, Inc. to his most recent
projects, which include some of the country's finest residences.
Buatta shares exclusive insights into his process, his own rules
for decorating, and personal stories of his adventures along the
way.

Design legend Henri Samuel believed that a successful interior was
one in which an observer never suspected that a decorator had been
involved. This book takes the reader inside some of Samuel s
groundbreaking and inspiring interiors, beginning with his first
job assisting Stephane Boudin of Jansen in the 1920s through
postwar Paris society and into the go-go 80s. During his
illustrious career, Samuel created rarefied and beautiful
environments for his jet-set clientele Doris Duke, Prince Sadruddin
Aga Khan, Susan and John Gutfreund, Valentino Garavani, and
multiple Rothschilds and Vanderbilts. Such was his expertise that
museums such as Versailles and the Metropolitan Museum of Art
consulted him on the installation of period rooms. Samuel was a
master at reproducing intimate spaces in various historic styles in
addition to mixing those styles in an erudite way: modernist
paintings were installed over Empire consoles, Louis XIII furniture
shared space with Oriental objects, neoclassical chairs were placed
beside tables of brass and Plexiglas. This book records Samuel s
life, his career, and the luxurious interiors he created for his
clients and himself rooms that look as fresh and alive today as
they did when they were first arranged. It is a necessary addition
to any design library.
It was just a simple little trip to the big city to find some boys,
but it turned out to be more than just a trip to the city.
