While most people have heard about high-profile abductions such as the Elizabeth Smart case, such abductions are not isolated cases. The abduction of children occurs much more often in our country than most people would suspect, but because of a fault in our country's national crime reporting procedures, no one knows the true number. This book details the scope of the child abduction problem in the United States, and its very real danger. It covers the different types of abductions and discusses the psychological changes that can occur in long-term abducted children that will often stop them from attempting to escape, or even to seek help, though good opportunities may present themselves. Snow also discusses the danger to secondary victims of child abduction. He devotes several chapters to what both parents and the government can do to stop many of the child abductions that now occur, and, for those not stopped, steps parents can take that will greatly assist the authorities in quickly locating and safely rescuing an abducted child. He concludes with a chapter on the psychological and emotional concerns of recovered abducted children, and how families can help them re-integrate themselves into a normal life. Real life examples are provided in every chapter. It is every parent's worst nightmare. Someone has abducted their child, and no one, including the police, has a clue where the child is. But worse, while parents feel certain their child is terrified and crying desperately for them, they don't know if their child is being physically mistreated, sexually molested, or worse. The uncertainty and powerlessness can drive parents of abducted children to the edge of insanity. But there are measures parents and children can take to avoid being the victim of abduction. There are things families can do, too, to apprehend offenders and bring children home even after an abduction occurs. Here, a retired police captain offers expert advice designed to help keep children safe and to help families deal with an abduction once it has occurred. Practical advice is offered throughout to families and professionals that will help all involved handle this tense and terrifying experience.

Few crimes capture our imagination as completely as child kidnapping. We are both fascinated and revolted, seeing in each victim our own child, in each bereaved parent ourselves, and in each kidnapper a monster striking straight at the heart of the family and our society. Kidnapping is a modern morality play, the innocence of the child in stark contrast to the corruption of the criminal, all played out by a media industry eager to feed the worst fears of every parent. In this pathbreaking book, Paula S. Fass explores how our fear has evolved from its first chilling realization in 1874, when Americans were startled and horrified to discover that their children could be held for ransom, until today, when sexual predators seem to threaten our children at every turn.Kidnapped is a mesmerizing look at some of the great kidnapping cases in American history, the stories that have haunted parents over the past 125 years. Fass describes the kidnapping of Charley Ross in 1874, the first of a series of kidnappings to be called "the crime of the century"; the notorious case of Leopold and Loeb, two rich young men who murdered a younger cousin simply to see if they could get away with it; the abduction of Gloria Vanderbilt, the "poor little rich girl" taken by her own aunt at the start of a vicious custody battle; and the most famous case of all, the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby. More importantly, Kidnapped presents, in a series of brilliant narratives, a window into the American mind, providing us with new insights into parenting and the American family, the media and our fascination with celebrity, policing and law enforcement, gender and sexuality, mental health, and much more. She shows, for instance, how the Leopold and Loeb case revolutionized the insanity plea, how the abduction of Gloria Vanderbilt brought the problems of divorce and child custody into the public eye, how the case of Stephanie Bryan was shaped by the gender assumptions of the 1950s, and how the Lindbergh tragedy was defined by the ever-present media. Turning from these historic cases, she takes us back to crimes that have only recently fallen out of the headlines, such as the disappearance of Etan Patz in New York or Jacob Wetterling in Minnesota, and the growing industry revolving around missing children, from not-for-profit foundations publicizing missing children to for-profit businesses offering to insure children against kidnapping. In this sharp, vivid book, Fass skillfully illuminates our national obsession with child abduction in a society which both values and exploits its youngest members. The loss of each child is a unique and devastating tragedy. But how we respond as a community and as a nation to these crimes speaks volumes about who we are. In confronting how we have treated the children stolen from our lives, Fass shows, we confront ourselves. Author: Paula S.

: It was a mother’s worst nightmare: her husband had stolen their children and she might never see them again. They’d been kidnapped by their father in November 1987 from their McAllen, Texas, home and taken thousands of miles away to his native Bolivia. She tried to get help anywhere she could—the local police, the FBI, the U.S. State Department, even the Bolivian government itself. No one seemed to care. Only one option was left—to take matters into her own hands. They told her it was impossible. She would be risking her life in a dangerous foreign country. But she wasn’t going to give up. With hired “recovery experts,” she took part in a daring rescue mission to bring her son and daughter back home. This is the dramatic true story of one mother’s triumph against impossible odds to protect the people she loved more than anyone else in the world—her children. This is her story, in her words. Where Are My Children? was first published by Zebra Books in 1991. The book had 275 pages and 12 pages of photographs. This e-book edition has several additional never-before-published photographs. A note from the author, Cassie Kimbrough: So many people who’ve read my book tell me they couldn’t put it down. Even if it meant staying up until the wee hours of the morning, they kept reading. I hope it will be that thrilling for you, my e-book readers. It’s still hard to believe it all happened just as I wrote it down. Many years have gone by, but it is still the grandest adventure of my life. I can’t say I enjoyed it at the time, but I hope you enjoy reading about it.

While cross-cultural relations were once assumed to be inherently problematic, in recent years these couples have increased in both numbers and social acceptance, and there is now a growing awareness of how little we really know about them. Addressing this gap in our knowledge, this book presents 12 chapters focusing on cross-cultural couple formations (i.e., a partner from the U.S. and another from abroad). Highlighting both the struggles and successes of couples, this book challenges the principle of homogamy, helping the reader gain a deeper understanding and respect for intercultural couples. The chapters tackle a broad range of topics and issues, including systemic considerations of the phenomenon of cross-cultural couples, bilingual couples, interfaith relationships, struggles in such couple formations, different methods of approaching solutions, and the use of the internet to meet partners from diverse backgrounds.

After building a wonderful relationship with his daughter, a man tells of how his child was unlawfully abducted by her mother and he is legally unable to do anything. For years he enjoyed joint custody until he returned from a job only to find that mommy packed up and moved far away. Obeying all the orders given by the Judge was to no avail. Much of his documented evidence wasn’t reviewed and seemed to be a waste of time. Orders from five court appearances meant nothing. Local authorities wouldn’t help so he conducted an investigation. After he had proof of where his child was, detectives did not assist. He was forced to accept being helpless and that he would not see his daughter for several years.When a kidnapping occurs as a result of false accusations or the mishandling of a case, the wrongly accused person becomes the victim. They can remain incapacitated for a long time. Normal activities in their life become secondary. Relationships, friendships become difficult to form. If a person is guilty of a crime, they’ll usually try to run or hide to avoid getting caught and go to jail. An innocent person will not run and put up a fight. There are specific child custody laws set in place to break and defeat those who battle this system. Some aren’t aware of the oppression one must endure when drawn into a vicious child custody battle where domestic decisions are made by a faulty family court. In a malicious litigation, the amount of men who must spend large sums of money, have their reputations slandered, are assumed guilty and receive harsher punishments far outnumber the women. When the final decision of the hearings is to remove your child, whether it’s temporary or permanent, that event will traumatize any parent. This reality is just under your skin and you can find yourself often thinking or talking about it. Your mind will be like a computer that never shuts off with thoughts of what went wrong and memories of the child you lost, continuously being repeated. Now you’re on a heartbreaking rollercoaster ride with lots of bumps that seems to go on forever. Not giving up on your child remains the top priority. Most people have little or no empathy for the dad who loses his child. This separation leads to depression, loneliness and grief. It produces abnormally high levels of stress and anxiety. So many men will seek to find relief from drugs, alcohol, or both as their health slowly deteriorates. This man has to invest thousands of dollars on legal fees. Friends and family alike will grow tired of hearing his miserable stories. There are no battered men’s shelters, no financial assistance of any kind and no government funded agencies to assist him. He is stereotyped as being the strong one and he should be able to withstand this sort of cruelty. To think because of their gender that a person has no feelings is inhumane. Daddies see a court case of this nature to be like getting shot in the back and not being able to move. While you lay there bleeding, dying, mommy and the lawyers empty your pockets. The last recollection you’ll have is seeing your child walk away, out of your life. This story is not about what can happen; it’s about what will happen to you when you do not recognize the signs and take the necessary precautions to prevent losing your kid. For the sake of children, men and women should be fully aware of whom they choose to have a family with. Joining for the wrong reason can breed an outcome that will be very damaging to the innocent. Once this happens and a separation occurs, it’s almost certain that one or both parents end up in court. In most cases it is here that their youngster will lose his or her right to establish a healthy relationship with one or both of those parents.

Practical Global Family Law puts the subject of divorce litigation in context based on the substantive law of the United States, China, and Italy. The book gives an overview of the common law and civil law systems and then compares the divorce laws and procedures of the three countries by taking a hypothetical divorce case between Mario, an Italian-American, and Lily, a Chinese-American as they seek to obtain a divorce in the U.S., China, and Italy, respectively. This book is designed as a student reader, to provide a comparative family law experience for students in a basic family law class or a comparative law class. The initial chapters give a basic overview of common law and civil law, a bit of background about each country, and the facts on which our divorce is based. The remaining chapters focus directly on the divorce itself, covering such topics as divorce procedure, grounds for divorce, child custody and visitation, child support, property division, spousal support, spousal agreements, appeals, and attorney fees. Charts are inserted at the end of the substantive chapters to highlight and summarize the similarities and differences between the countries.Author: Janet Leach Richards, Chen Wei, Lorella Dal Pezzo Paperback: 316 pages Company: Carolina Academic Press (2009-04-15) ISBN: 1594604347 List Price: $32.00 Amazon Price: $26.10 Used Price: $43.92 
How should you live your life? Our actions and choices dramatically affect our thoughts and feelings about ourselves and the world around us. Few things promote good mental health better than a clear conscience and the peace of mind that come from knowing you’ve done the right thing. But, in our ever more complicated world, what are the right choices? How can we make decisions that are at the same time good for us, good for our community—and just plain good? This book, written by an esteemed psychologist and ethicist, helps you answer these questions and develop a sound system for making the right choices in each situation. First, the book offers a clear, easy-to-understand survey of the major traditions in ethics and their approaches to problem solving. Then it explains an innovative, five-step process you can use to make sound, ethical choices. The RRICC system works by helping you examine situations according to five ethical principles: responsibility, respect, integrity, competence, and concern. By following the lucid, step-by-step exercises that introduce the system, you will learn and practice invaluable decision-making skills—simple, reliable techniques you can use at any time, in any place to make sure you always do the right thing.

The role of the law in settling family disputes has been a matter of particular debate over the past 25 years. In keeping with the general public perception, the media has been largely critical about the role of lawyers in family law matters, sustaining a general lack of confidence in the legal profession, and a more specific feeling that, in family matters, lawyers aggravate conflict or even represent a female conspiracy. The climate in which family lawyers practice in England and Wales is a harsh one. The authors of this path-breaking study felt it was time to find out more about the contributions of barristers in family law cases in the UK. Much of the study is comprised of an in-depth examination of the day-to-day activity of members of the UK Family Law Bar through observation of individual barristers as they performed their role in the context of a court hearing. In answering questions, such as whether the family justice system is excessively adversarial, whether family barristers earn too much from human unhappiness, or indeed whether those working in the front line of child protection earn enough, the authors reach some surprising conclusions. "The barrister is both mentor and guide for the client" is how they begin their conclusion; "we hope that we have shown that society should value their contribution better" is how they finish.Author: John Eekelaar, Mavis Maclean Paperback: 132 pages Company: Hart Publishing (2009-05-15) ISBN: 1841132772 List Price: $56.00 Amazon Price: $42.40 Used Price: $20.00

Former police detective Carole Moore interviewed the families of dozens of missing persons across the county and around the world to compile The Last Place You'd Look, which also focuses on the efforts of police, search and rescue, nonprofits and volunteer organizations. According to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), there are about 100,000 active, open and unresolved missing persons cases that sit on the books in the U.S. each day. The numbers are similar in Canada, where annually more than 60,000 children are reported missing. Additionally, in the U.S. alone there are more than 40,000 John and Jane Does in cemeteries and morgues across the country, still waiting to be identified. The anguish of having a loved one vanish is unthinkable, yet thousands of families face this heartbreak every day. The Last Place You'd Look provides searchers a starting point and gives readers an overview of "the club no one wants to belong to."Author: Carole Moore Hardcover: 248 pages Company: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers (2011-04-16) ISBN: 1442203684 List Price: $39.95 Amazon Price: $32.54 Used Price: $27.99

The State Department and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children have separate databases that track international parental abduction cases. A Justice Department database tracks criminal cases brought against child-abducting parents. These databases are not integrated and use different criteria to categorize cases, actions, and results. As a consequence, the incidence of abduction cases, agency actions on those cases, and their results cannot be quickly or easily determined across agencies. The lack of an integrated, comprehensive database has also led to program management problems such as duplication of effort between agencies. For example, a caseworker in the State Department's Office of Children's Issues made inquiries to a foreign central authority on one case only to find that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had located the child and closed its case a month earlier. This caseworker also told us that his office and the Bureau often make duplicate inquiries to foreign central authorities on the same case.

While most people have heard about high-profile abductions such as the Elizabeth Smart case, such abductions are not isolated cases. The abduction of children occurs much more often in our country than most people would suspect, but because of a fault in our country's national crime reporting procedures, no one knows the true number. This book details the scope of the child abduction problem in the United States, and its very real danger. It covers the different types of abductions and discusses the psychological changes that can occur in long-term abducted children that will often stop them from attempting to escape, or even to seek help, though good opportunities may present themselves. Snow also discusses the danger to secondary victims of child abduction. He devotes several chapters to what both parents and the government can do to stop many of the child abductions that now occur, and, for those not stopped, steps parents can take that will greatly assist the authorities in quickly locating and safely rescuing an abducted child. He concludes with a chapter on the psychological and emotional concerns of recovered abducted children, and how families can help them re-integrate themselves into a normal life. Real life examples are provided in every chapter. It is every parent's worst nightmare. Someone has abducted their child, and no one, including the police, has a clue where the child is. But worse, while parents feel certain their child is terrified and crying desperately for them, they don't know if their child is being physically mistreated, sexually molested, or worse. The uncertainty and powerlessness can drive parents of abducted children to the edge of insanity. But there are measures parents and children can take to avoid being the victim of abduction. There are things families can do, too, to apprehend offenders and bring children home even after an abduction occurs. Here, a retired police captain offers expert advice designed to help keep children safe and to help families deal with an abduction once it has occurred. Practical advice is offered throughout to families and professionals that will help all involved handle this tense and terrifying experience.

Before he was twenty years old, Louisiana-born Victor Sjour expatriated himself to Paris, where his acclaimed dramas would appear alongside those of Alexandre Dumas and Victor Hugo. His mother a free woman of color, his father of Haitian descent, Sjour grew up a free Creole of color in antebellum New Orleans, but was deeply affected by the alienation and discrimination he encountered as a person of mixed descent. Sjour's inventive transposition of the discrimination of mid-nineteenth-century America to other historical incidents of racial persecution was a device in his fiction and drama, creating a provocative and political metaphor for those whose lives blur the lines of racial and religious identity. Now, for the first time, two of Sjour's plays, "The Jew of Seville" and "The Fortune-Teller", have been translated from the French for contemporary audiences."The Fortune-Teller" was first performed in French in 1859, just one year after six-year-old Edgardo Mortara was removed from his Jewish home by the Bologna inquisitor after being baptized by a maid. The inquisitor, supported by Pope Pious IX, vowed not to return the boy until his parents converted to Catholicism. In Sejour's touching rendering of the Mortara case, the infant girl Nomi is taken from her Jewish family after being baptized by a wet nurse. Seventeen years later, Nomi's widowed and wealthy mother Gema masquerades as a poor fortune-teller in search of Nomi, who, she suspects, is living with the Catholic Lomellini family, under the name Paola. In exchange for money to pay her husband's ransom, Bianca Lomellini reveals to Gema that Paola is indeed the long-lost Nomi. Neither Jew nor Christian, torn between mothers, names, and homes, the young woman grapples with an anomalous identity, testing the bonds of both nature and nurture.With a stirring translation by Norman R. Shapiro and a thoroughly engaging introduction by M. Lynn Weiss, "The Fortune-Teller" is an important and provocative addition to the non-English writings of American-born authors, a historical drama that highlights the discrimination not only of Sjour's time, but of ours as well.Author: Victor Sejour, Norman R.

Dissociation--the fragmentation of consciousness involving feelings of unreality and amnesia--is a misunderstood condition that affects 35 million people globally. Since dissociation can be a person's standard response to trauma, its symptoms are a common reaction to such life-threatening events as a car accident, or such intense, lasting traumas as rape. Apart from post-traumatic reactions, dissociative experiences are often elusive and rarely reported to therapists. Based on 18 years of Dr. Steinberg's pioneering research, STRANGER IN THE MIRROR not only debunks the many myths surrounding dissociation, but also offers some startling revelations: normal people experience dissociative symptoms in everyday life, and dissociation is as widespread as anxiety and depression. Filled with fascinating case histories, this breakthrough book makes constructive help about dissociation available to the lay public, for the first time, providing readers with invaluable guidelines for assessing dissociative symptoms and disorders as well as for treatment and recovery. Dr. Steinberg's pioneering Handlbook for the Assessment of Dissociation is considered the definitive clinical guide to these disorders. The continued interest in this subject can be seen in such literary classics as The Three Faces of Eve, Sybil, Awakenings, and, most recently, First Person Plural, which sold to Disney for 1.15 million, with Robin Williams to play the lead role.Author: Marlene Steinberg, Maxine Schnall Hardcover: 336 pages Company: Harper (2000-10-03) (2000-10-03) ISBN: 0060195649 List Price: $25.00 Amazon Price: $13.79 Used Price: $2.96

: It was a mother’s worst nightmare: her husband had stolen their children and she might never see them again. They’d been kidnapped by their father in November 1987 from their McAllen, Texas, home and taken thousands of miles away to his native Bolivia. She tried to get help anywhere she could—the local police, the FBI, the U.S. State Department, even the Bolivian government itself. No one seemed to care. Only one option was left—to take matters into her own hands. They told her it was impossible. She would be risking her life in a dangerous foreign country. But she wasn’t going to give up. With hired “recovery experts,” she took part in a daring rescue mission to bring her son and daughter back home. This is the dramatic true story of one mother’s triumph against impossible odds to protect the people she loved more than anyone else in the world—her children. This is her story, in her words. Where Are My Children? was first published by Zebra Books in 1991. The book had 275 pages and 12 pages of photographs. This e-book edition has several additional never-before-published photographs. A note from the author, Cassie Kimbrough: So many people who’ve read my book tell me they couldn’t put it down. Even if it meant staying up until the wee hours of the morning, they kept reading. I hope it will be that thrilling for you, my e-book readers. It’s still hard to believe it all happened just as I wrote it down.

Notorious criminals have captured our imaginations for years and years. But we don't forget, either, the many people and organizations who fight back. J. Edgar Hoover and Eliot Ness have entered into the American psyche as two of our most aggressive and successful crime fighters. Still, there are others who have risen to the occasion, combating crime in all its manifestations. From the U.S. Marshals, FBI agents, and Secret Service to Rudy Giuliani, John Walsh— host of America's Most Wanted—and Joseph Pistone (aka Donnie Brasco), this set highlights some of the nation's bravest crime stoppers. Icons of Crime Fighting will enlighten the curious mind with a comprehensive overview of the most successful, the most well-known, and the most important crime fighters in recent American history. Part of our national culture, these figures represent all that is good about the American justice system. Moreover, they exemplify how individuals in the criminal justice system have made a real difference in law enforcement. These titans of law enforcement are profiled in this important and timely set. Those covered in the set include: Gun Fighters: U.S. Marshals of the Old West; Allan Pinkerton; The Texas Rangers; August Vollmer; J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI; Thomas Dewey; Robert Kennedy; Jim Garrison; Buford Pusser; Eddie Egan and Sonnie Grosso; Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein; Francisco Vincent Serpico; Joe Pistone, aka Donnie Brasco; Vincent T.

When California contractor Steve Fenton’s estranged wife took their 6-year-old son to southern Mexico and announced they weren’t coming back, Fenton tried unsuccessfully for months to use lawyers and diplomats on both sides of the border to bring his boy home.After being awarded custody of the boy, and with kidnapping charges filed against his wife, Fenton sought to use an international treaty called the Hague Convention to bring his son home. Mexico is a party to the treaty, which requires the speedy return of a child to his “habitual residence.” Yet every effort to recover the child under terms of the treaty was thwarted by Mexican officials. According to the U.S. State Department, Mexico has one of the worst records of any nation in responding to child custody petitions and routinely thumbs its nose at international appeals. After 16 months, when it finally became clear that legal channels would never bring his son Stephen home, Fenton took matters into his own hands. He hired a “specialist” who has recovered abducted children from all over the world. In broad daylight they stopped a school bus and recovered the boy. Changing cars in a race across town, they made it to an airstrip where a single-engine plane was waiting. Minutes ahead of authorities, they flew out of southern Mexico on a false flight plan that had them headed to Guatemala. After turning off the plane’s transponder, they headed out over the Gulf of Mexico and turned north toward Brownsville, Texas. Mexico apparently can move quickly when it wants to and shortly after the plane touched down in Brownsville, Fenton and his son were detained by the FBI. A Mexican consular official soon showed up to demand the boy’s return. The diplomat claimed the boy’s American birth certificate and California custody orders were false and demanded the child be returned to Mexico. The official also asked the FBI to hold Fenton for extradition on kidnapping, assault, firearms and air piracy charges, claiming automatic weapons were used to attack the school bus. This the story of the rescue, of useless government bureaucrats on both sides of the border, and how the father, son and his then-fugitive mother all coped with the aftermath.

Phoebus Klein is a vulnerable young boy from the wrong side of the tracks. He is a good, gentle soul living a sad and isolated existence deep in the heart of Pristine Mountain. Poor, friendless and with no real prospects of getting on in the world, Phoebus has but one ally, his older brother Kenny, who dreams of infamy of biblical proportions. When Kenny comes up with a plan to kidnap a woman for ransom, the innocent Phoebus is forced to take part in the crime. Put in charge of the beautiful young woman, Phoebus does his best to keep her happy while waiting for the ransom to be paid. However, not everything goes according to plan …A Decent Ransom is a story of a kidnapping gone right. Essentially a tale of redemption, the contemporary, fast-paced thriller blends pathos with intrigue, drawing the reader into the private world of a vulnerable fifteen-year-old boy, who believes himself to be the keeper of a kidnapped woman. Against all odds, the two forge an alliance with dire consequences for some. The plot begins when two brothers from the wrong side of the tracks kidnap a beautiful young woman, unleashing a chain of events that irrevocably change the lives of everyone involved.

It is only when disaster strikes that they begin to question their moral stance and desperate deeds are committed by all as they struggle to become someone other than themselves. As opportunities to make the right choice dwindle, each person's true nature is exposed. In a final twist, the unconventional resolution raises the question of nature versus nurture and how the two intertwine in each of us.

On March 26 1999, in Saginaw, Texas, 6-year-old Opal Jennings was playing with two other children in her grandmother's side yard when a black car drove up. A man got out and snatched Opal, whisking her away in his vehicle. It all happened in a flash, before her horrified grandparents could react. Local law enforcement and the FBI organized a massive search throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area, while Opal's photograph was widely circulated in newspapers and on television. A probation officer noted that on March 27 - one day after Opal's kidnapping - ordinarily slovenly sex offender Richard Lee "Ricky" Franks, 30, had cut his long hair and was clean-shaven and neatly dressed. Why had he suddenly cleaned up his act? Franks, who'd been convicted of molesting his brother's 8-year-old daughter, admitted to sexually abusing another young female relative. He confessed to having had Opal in his car, but claimed he'd only been giving her a ride and let her go unharmed. His first trial ended in a hung jury, but at long last, in September 2000, a second jury would determine Franks' guilt in the disappearance of Opal Jennings. Yet it wouldn't be until December 2003 that proof of her fate would be discovered.Author: Patricia Springer Mass Market Paperback: 300 pages Company: Pinnacle (2005-06-07) (2005-06-07) ISBN: 0786017058 List Price: $6.99 Amazon Price: $6.99 Used Price: $0.01 
As any police officer who has ever walked a beat or worked a crime scene knows, the street has its hot spots, patterns, and rhythms: drug dealers work their markets, prostitutes stroll their favorite corners, and burglars hit their favorite neighborhoods. But putting all the geographic information together in cases of serial violent crime (murder, rape, arson, bombing, and robbery) is highly challenging. Just ask the homicide detectives of the Los Angeles Police Department who hunted the Hillside Stranglers, or law enforcement officers in Louisiana who tracked the brutal South Side rapist.Geographic Profiling introduces and explains this cutting-edge investigative methodology in-depth. Used to analyze the locations of a connected series of crimes to determine the most likely area of offender residence, geographic profiling allows investigators and law enforcement officers to more effectively manage information and focus their investigations. This extensive and exhaustive work explains geographic profiling theories and principles, and includes an extensive review of the literature and research in the areas of criminal profiling, forensic behavioral science, serial violent crime, environmental criminology, and the geography of crime. For investigators and police officers deployed in the field, as well as criminal analysts, Geographic Profiling is a "must have" reference. Author: D.

While most people have heard about high-profile abductions such as the Elizabeth Smart case, such abductions are not isolated cases. The abduction of children occurs much more often in our country than most people would suspect, but because of a fault in our country's national crime reporting procedures, no one knows the true number. This book details the scope of the child abduction problem in the United States, and its very real danger. It covers the different types of abductions and discusses the psychological changes that can occur in long-term abducted children that will often stop them from attempting to escape, or even to seek help, though good opportunities may present themselves. Snow also discusses the danger to secondary victims of child abduction. He devotes several chapters to what both parents and the government can do to stop many of the child abductions that now occur, and, for those not stopped, steps parents can take that will greatly assist the authorities in quickly locating and safely rescuing an abducted child. He concludes with a chapter on the psychological and emotional concerns of recovered abducted children, and how families can help them re-integrate themselves into a normal life. Real life examples are provided in every chapter. It is every parent's worst nightmare. Someone has abducted their child, and no one, including the police, has a clue where the child is. But worse, while parents feel certain their child is terrified and crying desperately for them, they don't know if their child is being physically mistreated, sexually molested, or worse. The uncertainty and powerlessness can drive parents of abducted children to the edge of insanity. But there are measures parents and children can take to avoid being the victim of abduction. There are things families can do, too, to apprehend offenders and bring children home even after an abduction occurs. Here, a retired police captain offers expert advice designed to help keep children safe and to help families deal with an abduction once it has occurred. Practical advice is offered throughout to families and professionals that will help all involved handle this tense and terrifying experience. Featuring such prominent cases as the abductions of the Groene children in Idaho in 2005, Christopher Michael Barrios in Georgia in 2007, Zina Linnick in Washington in 2007, Mychael Darthard-Dawodu in Texas in 2007, Crystal Chavez in Texas in 2002, Elizabeth Smart in Utah in 2002, the Montano children in Florida in 2003, the Walker children in Indiana in 2007, the Nunez children in California in 2002, Emily Johnson in Indiana in 2007, Ludwig Koons in New York in 1993, the Beveridge children to the United States from Australia in 2000, Erica Pratt in Pennsylvania in 2002, Clay Moore in Florida in 2007, the Hari children in Illinois in 2005, Samantha Runnion in California in 2002, Ben Ownby in Missouri in 2007, Shawn Hornbeck in Missouri in 2002, Steven Stayner in California in 1972, Natascha Kampusch in Austria in 1998, Jessica Lunsford in Florida in 2005, Carlie Brucia in Florida in 2004, Amber Hagerman in Texas in 1996, the Nguyen children in Canada in 2006, and Cecilie Finkelstein from Sweden to the United States in 1975.
