How to Recruit and Retain Higher Education Students is an
invaluable resource for academic staff, administrators and policy
makers involved in student recruitment and improving student
retention. It offers practical advice on how universities can
influence the expectations of prospective students, allowing them
to make sensible decisions about careers, courses and
institutions.
Many surveys of students who drop out of university show that
most do so out of disappointment. Failing to understand what higher
education was about quickly enough, they become confused and
frustrated. Dropping out seems the best solution. This book
describes a series of practices proven to encourage students to
stay on, discussing the background research on student attrition.
By preparing students better for their higher education experience,
the practices in this book are effective not only in recruiting
students but also in matching them to the right institutions and
programmes.
The practices described range from those reaching out in a broad
way to communities of potential students, to university support for
pre-entry examinations, to enhanced communication between
institutions and applicants. All are described in sufficient detail
to allow judgments to be made about how to use and adapt them to
suit local needs.
How to Recruit and Retain Higher Education Students provides a
sound theoretical foundation for research into student retention
and provides the necessary underpinning for those academic staff
embarking on courses and assists in preparing them for their roles
in both teaching and student support.

Blackstone's Senior Investigating Officers' Handbook is aimed at
meeting the reference needs of officers who investigate serious,
major, and organised crime. It provides step-by-step, easy to
understand guidance on all the necessary considerations,
procedures, and processes for a Senior Investigating Officer (SIO),
whether performing the role at the very outset of an investigation
or at the more advanced stages. Chapters include guidance regarding
decision-making and the initial response, setting up and managing
an investigation, investigative strategies, policy logs, victim,
family, and community management, and liaison with the media. There
is also instruction on suspect and witness management, conducting
'TIE' (Trace, Investigate, and Evaluate) enquiries, child sexual
exploitation and investigating sudden and unexplained infant
deaths. Each chapter covers the important areas of a complex
investigation with checklists, keypoints, and real-life case
studies to help explain the processes and why they are important.
All the main investigative foundations, knowledge, and skills for
mounting a complex investigation are covered. The sixth edition
also includes a new chapter on investigating suspicious missing
persons. Each chapter has been completely updated and refreshed to
reflect new changes and processes applicable to each individual
section. Whether you conduct, review, or take a professional
interest in serious and major crime investigation, this title will
be an invaluable resource. The first practical guide to this
important role, it is commonly referred to as the essential
reference book in the wider SIO community (the SIO's bible) and is
a highly practical tool for any SIO or prospective SIO.
In the midst of an explosion of interest about God's grace, author
and teacher Tony Cooke presents a most timely book, The DNA of God.
This balanced and biblically-based volume addresses grace as God's
essence, nature, character, and actions toward us. What does the
Bible really say about grace? What is it, and what is it not? You
will gain insight through Scripture, the great hymns, and through
writings of old what grace is, how it applies to our lives, and how
grace works cooperatively with other attributes of God to make us
into the people that He intends. Tony reveals five expressions of
God's grace, how to receive it, and how to avoid short-circuiting
its power in your life. He candidly addresses certain
misconceptions and misapplications of grace, and provides a
balanced look at a subject that is essential to the Christian walk.
The DNA of God includes a "Questions for Reflection and Discussion"
section at the end of each chapter to further benefit your personal
study.
Crime Scene Management and Evidence Recovery is a must-have for
first responders and crime scene investigators alike. Featuring
step-by-step guidance on the techniques involved in crime scene
management and evidence recovery, alongside hands-on advice and
aide-memoirs from crime scene investigators, the second edition
also includes clear scientific explanations and everyday examples
for the non-specialist to recognise the importance difference that
first responders can make. Whilst crime scene investigators are
trained to undertake more detailed forensic examination, the
actions of first responders can have a fundamental impact on the
success of an examination. By increasing the awareness of forensic
aspects of a crime scene investigation, this book ensures that
crime scene officers are better equipped to make informed decisions
about protecting and preserving scenes and recovering items for
evidence. It also helps all police and forensic professionals to
develop their understanding of the various analysis techniques
available, as well as the pitfalls to avoid. The fifteen chapters
offer structured advice on the techniques involved in the
preservation, recovery, packaging, and storage of different
evidential types such as fingerprints, DNA, glass, footwear, paint,
and fibres. An overview of the science behind the various types of
forensic analysis is presented alongside the relevant legislation,
to reinforce the value of accurate crime scene management within
the duration of an investigation, and practical tips, scenarios,
and knowledge checks help to test understanding and root best
practice within everyday policing. The Blackstone's Practical
Policing Series covers a range of topical subjects of vital
importance in today's policing arena. Each practical guide contains
clear and detailed explanations of the relevant legislation,
accompanied by practical scenarios, illustrative diagrams and
useful checklists. Packed with a wealth of information, the
Blackstone's Practical Policing Series ensures you have ready
access to the tools you need to take on any policing challenge.
We all live somewhere. And we all want our neighborhoods to
flourish. Many of us hope (and even pray) for our neighborhoods'
well-being. But how do we actually pursue that? This field guide
answers this question by walking you through a simple, powerful
process for blessing your own neighborhood. Tony Cook and Don
Everts offer six sessions for discovering the gifts of your
community, imagining the possibilities, and pursuing the common
good. Exercises and assessments provide practical tools for
bringing your hopes into concrete reality. Join with others so that
together you can increase the well-being of your local
neighborhood.
