No-Body Homicides The Evolution of Investigation and Prosecution

No-Body Homicides The Evolution of Investigation and Prosecution

No-Body Homicides: The Evolution of Investigation and Prosecution examines how police and prosecutors have become more successful in obtaining convictions for homicide when the remains of the victim are unavailable as evidence. Based on an examination of over 600 cases in the United States and Canada this book shows the length some killers will go to avoid punishment and the determination of police and prosecutors to bring them to justice. For over 300 years murderers in the United States and Canada could avoid prosecution by successfully disposing of the body of their victim. No-Body Homicides provides the reader with a historical overview of prosecutions in which a killer destroyed or hid the body of the victim. It explains why prosecutions were once extremely rare and how legal attitudinal and technical changes have made them more common. The book also explores how the logic of no-body homicide prosecutions differs from body-present homicides. It allows police and prosecutors to draw on the accumulated experience of hundreds of prosecutions. For criminology students it provides fascinating insights into the process of investigating and prosecuting homicides – as well as a glimpse into the motivations and practices of killers who are so determined to avoid punishment that they remove the bodies of their victims. No-Body Homicides will be of practical interest to police or prosecutors confronted with a missing person’s case that could be sinister. It is also written to be appropriate as a supplementary text in an undergraduate criminology class or for an aficionado of “True Crime. ” | No-Body Homicides The Evolution of Investigation and Prosecution

Poor No More Rethinking Dependency and the War on Poverty

Poor No More Rethinking Dependency and the War on Poverty

In the 1960s America set out to end poverty. Policy-makers put forth an unprecedented package of legislation funding poverty programs and empowering the poor through ineffectual employment-related education and training. However these handouts produced little change and efforts to provide education and job-training proved inconsequential boasting only a 2. 8 percent decrease in the poverty rate since 1965. Decades after the War on Poverty began many of its programs failed. Only one thing really worked to help end poverty-and that was work itself the centerpiece of welfare reform in 1996. Poor No More is a plan to restructure poverty programs prioritizing jobs above all else. Traditionally job placement programs stemmed from non-profit organizations or government agencies. However America Works the first for-profit job placement venture founded by Peter Cove has the highest employee retention rate in the greater New York City area even above these traditional agencies. When the federal government embraced the work-first ideal inspired by the success of America Works welfare rolls plummeted from 12. 6 million to 4. 7 million nationally within one decade. Poor No More is a paradigm-shifting work that guides the reader through the evolution of America's War on Poverty and urges policy-makers to eliminate training and education programs that waste time and money and to adopt a work-first model while providing job-seekers with the tools and life lessons essential to finding and maintaining employment. | Poor No More Rethinking Dependency and the War on Poverty
