Preventing Sexual Harm provides an overview of current criminal justice strategies for tackling sexual violence, and highlights existing positive criminological approaches that could help prevent sexual abuse and harm. Sexual violence is a complex, multi-faceted crime. Its causes and consequences are both multiple and enduring and our understanding of sexual violence is embedded within our social, cultural, and political constructs. As such, a response to sexual violence ought to be equally complex and multi-faceted. Alternative approaches might therefore be needed, such as positive criminology. This book explores positive criminology as a mechanism to reduce the risk of recidivism, eradicate harm, prevent reoffending as well as to help reintegrate those with histories of sexual abuse back into the community. In light of recent historic cases of sexual abuse and poor institutional response to these allegations, it opens with an overview of the current landscape of sexual offending. The book then reviews the current positive criminological approaches already in existence in the effort to prevent sexual abuse by outlining the approach of positive criminology and by demonstrating the many gaps in practice that might benefit from this new way of working to prevent sexual abuse. By highlighting that an alternative response to sexual violence is needed, and by presenting the idea that a positive criminological paradigm is worthy of further examination, this book will be of great interest to scholars of criminology, criminal justice, and forensic psychology.

This book offers rich ethnographic and narrative accounts of men who have been engaged in serious violence and organised crime in the West Midlands of England, using several theoretical paradigms. Through case study examples, it also considers contract killers and the nefarious position that 'hitmen' occupy in the criminal underworld. By charting insider perspectives from retired law enforcement agents, informants, ex-military personnel and ex-offenders, this book speaks to those who have a vested interest in violence, organised crime and ethnography.

Explores the transformation of waterfronts from industrial hubs to urban playgrounds through the lenses of preservation, governance, economics, ecology, and more Presents chapter-length case studies drawn from cities in China, Bangladesh, Turkey, the United States, Malaysia, the European Union, Egypt, and other countries Includes contributions from an interdisciplinary team of international scholars and professionals, a much-needed corrective to the historical exclusion of researchers and issues from the Global South An ideal reference for graduate students, scholars, and professionals in real estate, urban planning and design, property development, urban studies, tourism, urban geography, and more

This book describes the past, present and future of dialysis and dialysis-related renal replacement therapies so that the reader can acquire a firm grasp of the medical management of acute and chronic renal failure.

By becoming thoroughly conversant with the past and present of dialysis, a health care professional will be in a much better position to provide the best standard of care to patients suffering from renal failure. As the book highlights the unsolved operational obstacles in the field of renal replacement therapies, future innovators may be inspired to develop novel solutions to tackle these problems. This remarkable work is a must-read not just for health care providers in the dialysis industry, but for patients, dialysis equipment manufacturers as well as pharmaceutical companies.

It gives me immense pleasure in introducing my first book named as "High-Pressure ElectroChemistry and Applications" based on my PhD works. This book explained on newly self-developed high-pressure instruments combined with available Electro- analyzers. This deals with electrochemical aspects of the development and applications of HP-EQCM. The discussion of these aspects develops through the fundamentals of electrochemical experiments (CV, EQCM) separately or simultaneously in HP-system via the interaction of electrochemical behaviors to finally include the interfacing of the high-pressure chemistry world. The final focus is investigated on the construction and applications by HP- EQCM from 14.7 ( 1 atm) to 25000 PSi. I worked consistently for almost four years to accomplish this work under the proper guidance of my respective PhD supervisor. I hope that this work would further enhance the electrochemistry, especially in bringing new entrants into the high-pressure electrochemistry fields and help scientists to pick-up/forward and develop their own field of specialization. There are bound to be a few lapses in the work of this magnitude

It gives me immense pleasure to announcing my 2nd book named as "Photo-Fenton's Degradation of Malachite Green Dye" based on my master works. This book explained on newly introduced Photo-Fenton's degradation of MG dye for complete mineralization in homogeneous medium in presence of radiation sources. The untreated dyes in effluents from dyeing factories and leather industries are a group of hazardous chemicals as well as important sources of water pollution. Dyes undergo chemicals as well as biological changes in the aquatic system, consume dissolved oxygen and thus interrupt the aquatic echo- system. This method provided an economical and fast approach in the mineralization of textile pollutants and could be useful for the large scale photo- degradation of the industrial effluents. I worked consistently for almost two years to carry out this work under the proper guidance of my respective master supervisors. I hope that this work would further enhance the Photo-catalysis, especially in bringing new contestants into the Photo-Chemistry fields and help scientists to look forward and extend their own-view of specialization.
