Product counterfeits and other brand infringements represent a
growing and substantial risk to firms, consumers, and society.
While policing such illicit activity is important, there is much
that firms can do to protect themselves and their customers.
Grounded in field research and practice, this book presents a total
business solution approach to brand protection that enables firms
to prevent infringement from occurring and respond efficiently when
it does. This total business solution provides a framework for
building and advancing brand protection programs that are
strategic, comprehensive, and evidence based. Coupling perspectives
and illustrations from several academic disciplines and industries,
this book serves as a road map or blueprint for companies to
develop and implement a proactive strategy to protect their brands.
It serves as a guide to help firms continuously learn, innovate,
and efficiently allocate resources in a way that maximizes brand
protection performance. Graduate and executive education programs
and scholars in business, law and criminal justice will benefit
from adopting Brand Protection and the Global Risk of Product
Counterfeits as course reading, research or a valued addition to
their personal library. Brand protection practitioners in firms
large and small, working in brand protection, security, supply
chain, legal, quality assurance, packaging, C-suite, marketing,
sales, and related areas will find this book essential in helping
them develop a roadmap for establishing a robust brand protection
program and take their existing brand protection to the next level
of effectiveness and efficiency.
Although law enforcement officials have long recognized the need to
cooperate with the communities they serve, recent efforts to
enhance performance and maximize resources have resulted in a more
strategic approach to collaboration among police, local
governments, and community members. The goal of these so-called
"community policing" initiatives is to prevent neighborhood crime,
reduce the fear of crime, and enhance the quality of life in
communities. Despite the growing national interest in and support
for community policing, the factors that influence an effective
implementation have been largely unexplored. Drawing on data from
nearly every major U.S. municipal police force, Community Policing
in America is the first comprehensive study to examine how the
organizational context and structure of police organizations impact
the implementation of community policing. Jeremy Wilson's book
offers a unique theoretical framework within which to consider
community policing, and identifies key internal and external
factors that can facilitate or impede this process, including
community characteristics, geographical region, police chief
turnover, and structural complexity and control. It also provides a
simple tool that practitioners, policymakers, and researchers can
use to measure community policing in specific police organizations.

In the aftermath of 9/11, many law enforcement agencies (LEAs)
shifted more resources toward developing counterterrorism (CT) and
homeland security (HS) capabilities. This volume examines the
effects the focus on CT and HS has had on law enforcement since
9/11, including organizational changes, funding mechanisms, how the
shift has affected traditional crime-prevention efforts, and an
assessment of benefits, costs, and future challenges.
Wilson and Dalton explore the extent and characteristics of human
trafficking in Ohio through both a content analysis of newspaper
accounts and interviews with criminal justice officials and social
service providers. The authors identify and discuss sex-trafficking
cases in Toledo and forced-labor cases in Columbus, and compare the
two cities1 responses to human trafficking. They conclude with
suggestions on how these responses might be improved. One-liner:
Explores the extent and characteristics
Examines how state and local law enforcement agencies conducted and
supported counterterrorism intelligence activities after 9/11. The
report analyzes data from a 2002 survey of law enforcement
preparedness in the context of intelligence, shows how eight local
law enforcement agencies handle intelligence operations, and
suggests ways that the job of gathering and analyzing intelligence
might best be shared among federal, state, and local agencies.
In a nation-building operation, outside states invest much of their
resources in establishing and maintaining the host country's
police, internal security forces, and justice system. This book
examines post-Cold War reconstruction efforts, such as those in
Iraq and Afghanistan, and assesses the success of U.S. and allied
efforts in reconstructing internal security institutions.
