F.E.A.R. is an inspirational, true story that serves as an instant motivator for anyone out there that has gone through trials and tribulations in life. Nothing is ever as bad as it seems, but it's the paralyzing FEAR that difficult circumstances in life continually produce in our minds that cause us to go to pieces when faced with extreme adversities. The mental, emotional and spiritual effects can be catastrophic or sometimes even fatal. This book was designed to help the millions of people world-wide that are currently going through something very difficult in life such as physical health issues, mental illness, financial problems, anxiety, addiction, heartbreak, failed relationships, parenting obstacles, death of a loved one, self-esteem trouble, spiritual warfare, mental/emotional trauma and much more. Each of these things have one thing in common; they thrive and survive on our FEAR. The main character, Brittney Carr, faced nearly ALL these issues at one point in her life and although triumphant in the end, there was a point in time in which LIFE unfortunately took an extremely negative & life-threatening toll on her physically, spiritually and emotionally causing her to attempt suicide 4 times in just 6 months. Her children were unlawfully snatched from her custody, she lost everything in Hurricane Harvey, sudden chronic anxiety handicapped her to the point of not being able to leave the house, she lost 100% of her eyesight and the list goes on. Brittney is a Christian and firm believer in God whose faith was tested through FEAR time after time again until she discovered that FEAR is nothing more than "False Evidence Appearing Real". The problem is that FEAR is all around us and we will never escape it. If we don't learn to conquer it by properly dealing with it, we eventually lose this ongoing mental battle. It's not what we go through, it's our perspective on life's events and our reaction to them that determines the reality of our fate especially when FEAR is a factor. As she dealt with tragedy left and right watching her world crumble right before her eyes, she learned she had ONLY two choices when faced with FEAR. Choose the negative way out which would be to "Forget Everything and Run" or be a brave and faithful child of God and "Face Everything and Recover". She learns that even though FEAR caused her to stop believing in God temporarily at one point, God never stopped believing in her. After having a spiritual awakening amidst her many tests in life, today she remains a faithful follower of Christ. Brittney and her husband now run a ministry geared towards helping those that are spiritually lost and suffering. Everyone deals with FEAR. Most of us deal with it daily in a very unhealthy way. Her story shows God's miracle-power in action as she beats all odds & learns that the secret to conquering FEAR once and for all is through FAITH. Serving as a true, living testimony to others around the world, she discovers that FEAR is the opposite of FAITH and that FEAR cannot exist in the presence of FAITH. Therefore, true unwavering FAITH in God conquers ALL!

This is the first book to challenge the broken-windows theory of crime, which argues that permitting minor misdemeanors, such as loitering and vagrancy, to go unpunished only encourages more serious crime. The theory has revolutionized policing in the United States and abroad, with its emphasis on policies that crack down on disorderly conduct and aggressively enforce misdemeanor laws. The problem, argues Bernard Harcourt, is that although the broken-windows theory has been around for nearly thirty years, it has never been empirically verified. Indeed, existing data suggest that it is false. Conceptually, it rests on unexamined categories of law abiders and disorderly people and of order and disorder, which have no intrinsic reality, independent of the techniques of punishment that we implement in our society. How did the new order-maintenance approach to criminal justice--a theory without solid empirical support, a theory that is conceptually flawed and results in aggressive detentions of tens of thousands of our fellow citizens--come to be one of the leading criminal justice theories embraced by progressive reformers, policymakers, and academics throughout the world? This book explores the reasons why. It also presents a new, more thoughtful vision of criminal justice.

False Allegations: Investigative and Forensic Issues in Fraudulent Reports of Crime provides investigators and forensic examiners with a reference manual comprised of objective protocols for managing cases. It helps them understand the nature and extent of false allegations to more accurately identify false allegations should they present in casework. It also prepares users on how to confront and explain false allegations, including instances where colleagues and supervisors may be steeped in bias, denial or self-interest. Responding law enforcement agencies have a duty of care to investigate all reported crime, to recognize and uncover false allegations, and prevent them from causing harm to the innocent. Failure to do so can result in miscarriages of justice. When law enforcement fails in their duty of care, they are also exposed to civil liability from those that have been falsely accused. Presents a first of it’s kind forensic textbook on a subject that has been highly politicized Written by qualified investigative and forensic professionals who work cases and give expert testimony Offers applied protocols to conduct forensic investigations and evaluations, including red flags Based on the most recent scientific research, practice and protocols Includes extensive case examples used to augment a variety of different false report models
