and alternatives to punishment. It covers key criminological themes
such as victims and victimology, gender, the drug trade and its
regulation, terrorism and political violence, and desistance and
the life course. Key features include: Critical assessment of key
criminological theories, which are later woven into discussions of
key thematic areas Case studies of historical and contemporary
Irish events, including the Magdalene Laundries, gangland feuds and

Based on extensive interdisciplinary research and the author's over
30 years of experience in the field, this book provides best
practice skills for auditors and investigators in any type of
investigation and adapts them to ensure they are relevant to a
corporate environment where the powers available to police are
absent. In addition to providing technical skills and practical
advice on investigative interviewing, former police investigator
Kevin Sweeney explains how to analyze information to assist in the
investigation and to identify emerging trends to provide
opportunities to prevent problems before they occur. Readers will
come to understand legal concepts such as the chain of evidence,
the psychological factors involved in questioning, and the
sociological factors that can help to build a macro understanding
of the organization and the event in question. This book will
become an essential resource for professionals involved in auditing
or investigation work of any type in the corporate or public
sectors, in contexts including human resources, employee relation
investigations, auditing, or where criminal activity is suspected.

James Mason broke into British films in 1935 after a few years
working on the stage. For the rest of the decade, he alternated
unsuccessful theatre ventures with increasingly important movies.
Though he was a conscientious objector, he became one of the most
popular British actors of the World War II era. He moved to
Hollywood after the war and made 34 films between 1949 and 1962.
Though success initially eluded him, he worked with some of the
leading directors of the time and eventually won an Academy Award
nomination for A Star is Born (1954). He worked steadily in the
years that followed, appearing in nearly 50 feature films from 1963
until his death in 1984. While many of these films were
undistinguished, he earned two additional Oscar nominations and was
voted Cinema Actor of the Century by a panel of international
critics in 1967. This reference book is a comprehensive guide to
his life and career. The volume begins with a biography in
narrative form that traces Mason's life. The biography is followed
by a short chronology, which highlights the principal events of his
life and career. An extensive annotated bibliography then reviews
works by and about Mason. The sections that follow detail his many
performances in film, radio, television, audio recordings, and the
stage. Each section includes entries for individual productions,
with entries providing extensive cast and credit information, plot
summaries, excerpts from reviews, and critical commentary where
available. The volume also lists additional information, such as
Mason's awards and nominations.
The life and career of Henry Fonda, one of Hollywood's greatest
stars, are detailed in this bio-bibliography that places equal
emphasis on the actor's professional and private lives. The
reference provides a complete and detailed guide to Fonda's films,
television, theater, radio, recordings, awards, video releases, and
a comprehensive bibliography. A detailed index makes it easy to
look up every significant actor and filmmaker with whom Fonda
worked. Also included are filmographies of Jane and Peter Fonda.

The investigation of crime is a core function of An Garda Siochana.
As a result, the arrest, detention and questioning of criminal
suspects is a routine process in Garda investigations. The legal
architecture that permits such questioning is a combination of
relatively new legislation and regulations overlaid on other rules
and procedures that are sometimes ancient in origin. Consequently,
there can be inherent contradictions that appear throughout the
system and elements of the process can often appear overly complex
even to practitioners. People outside the legal profession can
oftentimes find the procedures involved bewildering. Arrest,
Detention and Questioning: Law and Practice examines the
legislation, rules and regulations that protect the rights of a
suspect in custody for interrogation. These include the detention
provisions themselves, the custody regulations, audio-visual
recording and the role of solicitors in the process. It is within
this framework that Gardai must work to solve crime and prosecute
those responsible before the courts. The interview training method
available to Gardai and efforts by successive governments to
rebalance the criminal justice system are all explored.
Pressure Cooker Confidence takes you on a true story of a
phenomenal military jet flight where the two engines on the left
wing of the KC-135E tanker aircraft (military version of the Boeing
707 aircraft) come completely off the airplane. Without warning the
crew is suddenly faced with this terrifying life threatening
emergency. How they react will determine their ability to survive
this airborne crisis. The unforeseen crisis happens at night, at
maximum gross weight, and on a Desert Storm combat sortie. The
story takes you through the remarkable successful recovery of the
airplane.
The author who was the aircraft commander of the mission then
takes you through the reasons for the crew's success and gives you
concrete examples and exercises that you can apply to your own life
through the use of these principles to put yourself in position to
achieve your personal and professional goals.
