The development of transnational policing : past, present and future
\"This book draws together the insights of eminent academics and specialists to present an overview of past and present approaches to transnational policing throughout the Anglophone world. It aims to revitalize the study of transnational policing by showing that past and present developments in this field remain poorly understood, whilst also suggesting future avenues of research. Containing chapters on police history, police accountability, gendered hate crime in an increasingly online world, counter-radicalisation strategies being pursued around the world, internet-facilitated sex trafficking and changes in organised crime, amongst others, the authors adopt revisionist, orthodox and progressive views in order to challenge our understanding and appreciation of developments in transnational policing. All of the chapters in the book use policing models employed within the UK as either their focal point or as a point of comparison so that direct comparisons and contrasts can be examined. The Development of Transnational Policing illustrates distinctive and separate aspects of what remains an undoubtedly complex and dynamic field, but also forms an overview of developments and the dearth of academic research which surround them, in order hopefully to inspire researchers, policy-makers and practitioners alike\"-- Provided by publisher.
Book
Alabama Governors
An entirely revised and updated edition of the
best-selling 2001 original This collection of
biographical essays, written by thirty-four noted historians and
political scientists, chronicles the times, careers, challenges,
leadership, and legacies of the fifty-seven men and one woman who
have served as the state's highest elected official. The book is
organized chronologically into six sections that cover
Alabama’s years as a US territory and its early statehood,
the 1840s through the Civil War and Reconstruction, the late
nineteenth-century Bourbon era, twentieth-century progressive and
wartime governors, the Civil Rights era and George
Wallace’s period of influence, and recent chief executives
in the post-Wallace era. The political careers of these
fifty-eight individuals reflect the story of Alabama itself.
Taken together, these essays provide a unified history of the
state, with its recurring themes of race, federal-state
relations, tensions between north and south Alabama, economic
development, taxation, and education.
Alabama Governors expertly delineates the decisions and
challenges of the chief executives, their policy initiatives,
their accomplishments and failures, and the lasting impact of
their terms. The book also includes the true and sometimes
scandalous anecdotes that pepper Alabama’s storied history.
Several of the state's early governors fought duels; one killed
his wife's lover. A Reconstruction era-governor barricaded
himself in his office and refused to give it up when voters
failed to reelect him. A twentieth-century governor, an alumnus
of Yale, served as an officer in the Ku Klux Klan. This entirely
updated and revised edition includes enlarged and enhanced images
of each governor. Published as Alabama prepares for its
sixty-fourth gubernatorial election, Alabama Governors is certain
to become a valuable resource for teachers, students, librarians,
journalists, and anyone interested in the colorful history of
Alabama politics.
