From the publisher: "The sentencing guidelines written by the U.S. Sentencing Commission for the federal crime courts were designed to lead to uniform the just punishments for convicted criminals. How well did the Commission's judgments about what were just punishments compare to the view of the American public Using data from a 1994 national household survey the authors compare the punishments described by the Commission to those desired by the public. Contrary to the frequency claims of excessive leniency on the part of judges that are often asserted by journalists and shapers of opinions Rossi and Berk find strong correspondence between the median sentences deemed appropriate by the public and the sentences prescribed by the guidelines. Although the authors conclude that the Commission was able to match prescribed punishments closely to the American consensus for most crimes in one category -- drug trafficking offenses -- the guidelines were much harsher in dealing with offenders. The national survey used a factorial survey as its design strategy allowing for analysis of a large variety of federal crimes and variations in the social characteristics of convicted felons. A wealth of detail along with ample graphic and tabular illustrations extends the book's application to issues of consensus and variations in punitiveness by region and socioeconomic characteristics of respondents.".

2007011654Washington D. C: National Defense Intelligence College Press 2007. 508 pages/illus/maps. A meticulously researched history of British French and American aerial surveillance on the Western FrontWorld War I marked the beginning of the era of modern warfare a conflict that demanded revolutionary technology to break the vicious stalemate in which the armies of Europe found themselves. One such technology was aerial reconnaissance and photography which together with the growing intelligence use of phone tapping and radio intercepts changed the nature of war forever. Describing the evolution of aerial photography during World War I this text is packed with data information and meticulous research from essential archives including the National Archives in College Park Maryland and Londons National Archives. It shows not only how important aerial reconnaissance was to the war effort but also how it became the foundation for modern-day exploitation of imagery and geospatial intelligence used to guide todays decision makers on global issues and shaped intelligence work for generations to come.

1995029909Salt Lake City Utah: Northwest Publishing Inc. NPI 1995. INSCRIBED / SIGNED directly on the front free endpaper by BOTH the AUTHOR Jack Atchison and the SUBJECT Charlie Keating. New in a New dust jacket. NO chips tears creases rubbing or fading to the book or jacket. NOT price clipped $27.95. Bright and shiny. Square and tight. Sharp corners. Pages are fresh crisp clean and unmarked -- obviously never read. Bound in the original silver-stamped gray cloth. Complete with dust jacket. The jacket is protected by a removable Brodart clear-plastic sleeve which is mildly rubbed. About the book: "In the late 1980s Atchison was a managing partner at what was then the Arthur Young & Co. accounting firm. He directed the audit of Charles Keating's Lincoln Savings and Loan and was responsible for giving it a clean bill of health. Shortly thereafter Atchison was handed a top executive post with an annual salary of almost $1 million at American Continental Lincoln's parent company. At congressional hearings on the Lincoln S & L debacle Atchison refused to testify pleading the Fifth Amendment. Here Atchison tries to salvage his own reputation; he also disturbingly exploits current anti-Washington sentiment that turns government into the villain and wrongdoers into victims. His tone throughout is belligerently defiant; he portrays Keating as under siege from a hostile enemy. As Atchison tells it Keating was 'extorted' by overzealous vindictive regulators who regularly leaked confidential documents about their investigation because Keating dared to stand up to them." From Wikipedia: "In the 1980s Keating ran American Continental Corporation and the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association and took advantage of loosened restrictions on banking investments. His enterprises began to suffer financial problems and were investigated by federal regulators. His financial contributions to and requests for regulatory intervention from five sitting U.S. senators led to those legislators being dubbed the 'Keating Five.' When Lincoln failed in 1989 it cost the federal government over $3 billion and about 23000 customers were left with worthless bonds. In the early 1990s Keating was convicted in both federal and state courts of many counts of fraud racketeering and conspiracy. He served four and a half years in prison before those convictions were overturned in 1996. In 1999 he pleaded guilty to a more limited set of wire fraud and bankruptcy fraud counts and was sentenced to the time he had already served. Keating spent his final years in low-profile real estate activities until his death in 2014.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. New condition/New dust jacket.

1925001989New York: The Macmillan Company 1925. Spine ends lightly frayed. Tiny damp stain to lower page corners in the margin only - text is not affected else Very Good condition. Square tight copy. Illustrated with 200 action photographs. This copy has the bookplate of New York psychiatrist Dr. Dudley D. Schoenfeld a pioneer in the field of criminal profiling who was instrumental in solving The Crime of the Century. Just after Charles Lindbergh's baby was kidnapped and well before the arrest of Bruno Richard Hauptmann Dr. Schoenfeld was asked by the authorities to examine the ransom notes and other evidence. Dr. Schoenfeld was able to "construct" a profile of the person who committed the crime. While compilation of a psychological profile is common practice in criminal investigations today in 1932 it was ground-breaking. Dr. Schoenfeld conclusions that the ransom notes were likely written by a German man with a criminal past and that he was probably mechanically adept proved to be surprisingly accurate. .
