Building Colonialism draws together the relationship between
archaeology and history in East Africa using techniques of
artefact, building, spatial and historical analyses to highlight
the existence of, and accordingly the need to conserve, the urban
centres of Africa's more recent past. The study does this by
exploring the physical remains of European activity and the way
that the construction of harbour towns directly reflects the
colonial mission of European powers in the nineteenth century in
Tanzania and Kenya. Based on fieldwork which recorded and analysed
the buildings and monuments within these towns it compares the
European creations to earlier Swahili urban design and explores the
way European commercial trade systems came to dominate East Africa.
Based on the kind of Urban Landscape Analyses carried out in the UK
and Ireland, Building Colonialism looks at the social and spatial
implications of the towns on the Indian Ocean coast which contain
centres of derelict and unused buildings dating from East Africa's
nineteenth-century colonial era. The book begins by concentrating
upon towns in Tanzania and Kenya which were the key entry points
into Africa for the nineteenth-century colonial regimes and
compares these to later French and Italian colonies and discusses
contemporary approaches to the conservation of colonial built
heritage and the difficulties faced in ensuring valid participatory
protection of the urban heritage resource.

This book provides an overview of current analyses and developments
pertaining to the law enforcement and crime. Chapter one analyses
individual elements of the polygraph examination in pre-employment
cases in law enforcement agencies, and attempts to answer the
following questions: How are existing standards "scientific"? What
should be done to raise the level of quality control in this kind
of examinations? Chapter two studies the use of insects as evidence
and as a forensic indicator in law enforcement technology. Chapter
three explores a public health approach to preventing child
fatalities. Chapter four discusses the prospects of the use of
prison informers. Chapter five studies the homicide rates in the
U.S. and their correlation with other publicly available data
applying this nonstandard visualisation technique; and a comparison
of homicide rates in the U.S. to that of different Latin American
countries is shown. The last chapter is an attempt to show that
violence in American popular culture can be justified, and may even
serve the story. The chapter will focus on depicting concrete
scenes from Paul Verhoevens 1987 film Robocop to prove that apart
from showing violence, they actually raise important sociological
and psychological matters.
