This edited volume-the first book devoted to the topic of contract
cheating-brings together the perspectives of leading scholars
presenting novel research. Contract cheating describes the
outsourcing of students' assessments to third parties such that the
assignments or exams students submit are not their own work. While
research in this area has grown over the past five years, the
phenomenon has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Themes
addressed in this book include the definition of contract cheating,
its prevalence in higher education, and what motivates students to
engage in it. Chapter authors also consider various interventions
that can be used to address contract cheating's threat to academic
integrity in higher education including: assessment practice,
education, detection strategies, policy design, and legal
interventions.
Terrorism and torture are twin evils that have dominated news
headlines - particularly since the horrifying events of 9/11. In
this thought-provoking volume, scholars from a diverse range of
disciplines examine the complex motivational and situational
factors contributing to terrorist acts and state-sponsored torture,
and the potential linkage between those two heinous human
behaviors. They also consider the strategies that might reduce the
threat of future terrorist acts, and the perceived necessity to
engage in morally reprehensible - and often illegal - torture
practices. With its integrated synthesis of contemporary theories
and research on the complex dynamics of the terrorism-torture link,
this is an authoritative source for scholars and students of
psychology, criminal justice, law, media, communication studies,
and political science. It will also appeal to students of other
disciplines with an interest in the study of terrorism and torture.
