  • Taylor & Francis Female Offenders and Reentry

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisOften, research concerning the female offender is scarce. This book adds to the criminological literature on the topic of reentry for women, focusing on the barriers women face as they return to society and adjust to life after incarceration. Each chapter addresses specific issues, challenges, and obstacles affiliated with the hindrance of successful reentry processes associated with female offenders, as well as data-driven empirical studies.While corrections has often misunderstood or overlooked the needs of returning offenders, the shortcomings of the institutions have a greater impact on women than on their male counterparts, particularly regarding the occurrence of social and medical problems, especially those related to mental health and substance abuse. Female Offenders and Reentry helps criminal justice students and practitioners see the full picture when considering the challenges faced by female offenders reintegrating into society. Trade ReviewFinally—a comprehensive text that covers all aspects of the challenges faced by female offenders in their reentry journeys. Featuring evidence-based research, current demographic and trend data, policy and best practices analyses, and in-depth case studies, this monograph provides insightful examinations of critical gender barriers to societal reintegration—transportation, housing, employment, issues of chronic illness and reproductive health, mental health and substance abuse disorders, and child reunification. —Rosemary Gido, Indiana University of PennsylvaniaThe editors have put together a well-balanced collection of chapters that discuss in depth the multiple problems female ex-offenders face when returning to their communities. This text provides an excellent forum for discussion on the topic of female offenders and reentry that will leave students as well as policy makers and educators thinking about how they can effect change. —Danielle McDonald, Northern Kentucky UniversityIn Female Offenders and Reentry, Carter and Marcum have expertly conveyed the challenges facing women as they work towards reestablishing a life outside of prison. This compelling and comprehensive text is essential to understanding the contemporary female reentry experience. —Ashley G.

    Today''s high-speed and rapidly changing development environments demand equally high-speed security practices. Still, achieving security remains a human endeavor, a core part of designing, generating and verifying software. Dr. James Ransome and Brook S.E. Schoenfield have built upon their previous works to explain that security starts with people; ultimately, humans generate software security. People collectively act through a particular and distinct set of methodologies, processes, and technologies that the authors have brought together into a newly designed, holistic, generic software development lifecycle facilitating software security at Agile, DevOps speed. Eric. S. Yuan, Founder and CEO, Zoom Video Communications, Inc. It is essential that we embrace a mantra that ensures security is baked in throughout any development process.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisIn May 2021, Jim Gosler, known as the Godfather and commander of US agenciesâ cyber offensive capability, said, ''Either the Intelligence Community (IC) would grow and adapt, or the Internet would eat us alive.'' Mr Gosler was speaking at his retirement only several months before the terrorist attacks of 9/11. He possibly did not realise the catalyst or the tsunami that he and his tens of thousands of US IC offensive website operatives had created and commenced.Over the last two decades, what Mr Gosler and his army of Internet keyboard warriors created would become the modus operandi for every faceless, nameless, state-sponsored or individual cybercriminal to replicate against an unwary, ill-protected, and ignorant group of executives and security professionals who knew little to nothing about the clandestine methods of infiltration and weaponisation of the Internet that the US and UK agencies led, all in the name of security.This book covers many cyber and ransomware attacks and events, including how we have gotten to the point of massive digital utilisation, particularly during the global lockdown and COVID-19 pandemic, to online spending that will see twice the monetary amount lost to cybercrime than what is spent online.There is little to no attribution, and with the IC themselves suffering cyberattacks, they are all blamed on being sophisticated ones, of course. We are witnessing the undermining of our entire way of life, our economies, and even our liberties. The IC has lots to answer for and unequivocally created the disastrous situation we are currently in. They currently have little to no answer. We needâno, we must demandâchange. That change must start by ensuring the Internet and all connections to it are secure and no longer allow easy access and exfiltration for both the ICs and cybercriminals.Table of ContentsForeword.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisAbsolute Essentials of Ethereum is a concise textbook which guides the reader through the fascinating world of the emerging Ethereum ecosystem, from the basics of how its blockchain works to cutting-edge applications.Written by an experienced educator, each chapter is designed to progress potential students from class to class. Technical concepts are clearly explained for those new to the topic and readers are supported with definitions and summaries in each chapter. Real-life case studies situate the overviews in a contemporary context.

Absolute Essentials of Ethereum does an excellent job describing the basics, both of the technology and of how people maintain and use it and where it’s going in the years to come.”—Vitalik Buterin, Founder of Ethereum“Since its origins as a world computer, Ethereum has gone on to become a world-wide phenomenon. Over that time, to those on the inside, it feels like decades have passed. Paul is one of the few people with the ability to simply and modestly merge those years of collective coordination into a meaningful history of what Ethereum is and more importantly why it matters. I’d highly recommend this book to anyone looking to get caught up and involved in the Ethereum ecosystem.”—Scott Moore, Co-founder of Gitcoin“This is the perfect text for anyone to get up to speed with Ethereum and its key concepts. Written in a highly personable and engaging style, this book will take both the technical and non-technical reader on a tour of the most important moments in Ethereum’s history and its most significant projects.”—Nick Almond (Dr), Founder of Factory DAO“A well-written, comprehensive introduction to the various component sectors of Ethereum. This book appeals to both readers completely new to Ethereum and those old hands trying to remember the historical developments leading to the current state of affairs.”—Laurence E.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisCyberattacks are nothing particularly new to the world and Ukraine had suffered many such attacks by Russia over recent years. Russia had knowingly been exploiting Ukraineâs digital vulnerabilities as a proving ground for nearly a decade. Malware such as Sandworm and BlackEnergy had caused untold damage to the Ukrainian population and government previously, which allowed Russia to perfect cyberattacks for further, more global events. Russia had been planting cyber sleeper digital cells for years, especially in the US and the UK.Then, coincidently, the week after the Chinese Winter Olympic games had finished, Russia launched an all-out cyber offensive against 70 Ukrainian government websites. Owing to these being poorlyâand insecurelyâmaintained, they toppled one by one, causing havoc and disruption to the Ukrainian government and to Ukraineâs critical infrastructure. As Q said in James Bond: âI can do more damage by breakfast sipping my Earl Grey tea with my keyboard than you ever can in the field.â Sadly, Q was right, as we witness daily. The keyboard and mouse have indeed become mightier than the sword.The barrage of cyberattacks against Ukraine constitutes the first cyberwar by one nation against another. This attack crossed a very thin red line. That line had the hallmarks of a nation state, but had until now been confined to cyber criminal activities, immaterial of whom the perpetrators were. This, however, was now war. The cyberwar was simply a precursor, the softening of a country that would precede a kinetic war in which tens of thousands of people would lose their lives. This war was the first war for nearly 80 years that rang out deathly klaxons across Europe and the world.Digital Blood on Their Hands addresses the issues that the digital world has created, covering the culpability, causal links and even liabilities that go towards these war crime atrocities, often too frightening to believe and also too compelling to dismiss. It tells a side to the worldâs first ever cyberwar that you would never otherwise see or possibly hear about.Table of ContentsPreface. Author. Part I History.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Insider Risk and Personnel Security

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis textbook analyses the origins and effects of insider risk, using multiple real-life case histories to illustrate the principles, and explains how to protect organisations against the risk.Some of the most problematic risks confronting businesses and organisations of all types stem from the actions of insiders individuals who betray trust by behaving in potentially harmful ways. Insiders cause material damage to their employers and society, and psychological harm to the colleagues and friends they betray. Even so, many organisations do not have a systematic understanding of the nature and origins of insider risk, and relatively few have a coherent and effective system of protective security measures to defend themselves against that risk. This book describes the environmental and psychological factors that predispose some individuals to become harmful insiders, and the most common pathways by which this happens. It considers how aspects of insider risk have been altTrade Review'Insider risk has become a big issue, particularly as we depend so much on digital networks. Paul Martin's clear, comprehensive and thoughtful book leads us through the subject with telling, real-world examples.'Jonathan Evans, former Director General of MI5'Few people understand the world of Insider Risk as well as Paul Martin. This deceptively simple book is rooted in serious professional expertise and his own academic study of behaviour and risk. It clearly explains the problem, and suggests effective approaches. There are home truths about lack of investment in personnel security at the expense of other types of risk, and, because this is about human behaviour, it encourages better understanding of what motivates people to become insiders. Each chapter ends with discussion points which enable deeper reflection and would be useful for any organisation to consider.'Suzanne Raine, Visiting Professor, King’s College London, UK'The book cleverly uses case studies as a way of reinforcing important points. The content is fully up to date and incorporates the most recent developments in this field. It challenges perception on insider motivations and the impact of different factors, and I found that some of its content has challenged my own thoughts on the matter. There are interesting insights into the psychology and personality traits behind insiders, and the author importantly provides potential solutions to the problem, as well as highlighting what the problem is itself. Trust and its relationship to Insider Risk makes interesting reading within the book. In Part 2, the author looks at potential solutions or mitigation responses to insider risk and the importance of adopting a systems approach. He also locates personnel security within a wider integrated approach to security, incorporating physical and cyber security. I particularly like the proactive approach he adopts when discussing how to address insider risk - 'Prevention is better than cure', rather than waiting for some form of insider activity to occur before responding to it. Importantly for Insider Risk practitioners, there is also a detailed chapter regarding detection and mitigation methods which can be applied, and models and metrics which can be used to assess insider risk. I found the book highly informative and extremely well researched. I would describe the author as a 'Simplifier', not a 'Complicator', as he has written the book in an easy to read and uncomplicated style, that makes it equally relevant for someone just coming into the field of Personnel Security and Insider Risk, as much as for the expert who has spent years working in this field of work.'David BaMaung, Chair Special Interest Group Insider Risk, The Security Institute'Insider Risk and Personnel Security by Paul Martin is excellent. It provides rigor and insights about the complexities involved in human nature, and will be useful as an antidote to war-story telling individuals who suggest that risk-related behavior and motivations fit neatly into well-bounded management tactics.'Eric L. Lang, psychological, scientist and insider threat expert'Paul Martin dives deep into ‘insider risk’, an often neglected area of security risk management, despite its prevalence as a critical key factor in many a case of espionage, cyber attack, fraud or thefts. At a time of rapid and unsettling changing, with war in Europe, ramping-up of geopolitical tensions, ever more sophisticated criminal acts and daily news of cyber attacks, I am sure we’ll keep seeing creative attempts to exploit human vulnerabilities at the heart of our organisations, systems and networks. [He/the author/Paul] neatly takes us on an ‘insiders’ journey, explaining who those people are (not just employees!), their behavioural traits and work/life contexts, what makes them tick, concepts of trust and betrayal, effective security responses, and everything you might trip over on the way. If ever there was a book that illustrates that security is a truly human challenge that needs more than technical solutions, this is it. The author brings a unique mix of academic rigour and practitioner realism to his writing, which is direct, clear and illustrated with frequent case studies. This book is an excellent source of insight and an easy, enjoyable read for leaders, practitioners, students and researchers alike. As a non-executive director on several boards, I recommend it to executive and non-executive Board colleagues. We need '‘insider risk'’ up there with cyber-risks in that reddest corner of the risk matrix!'Fiona Strens, Professor of Practice, Security & Resilience, University of Strathclyde, UKTable of ContentsIntroduction PART ONE – UNDERSTANDING INSIDER RISK 1.

    Book SynopsisBecause of the growing reliance on software, concerns are growing as to how reliable a system is before it is commissioned for use, how high the level of reliability is in the system, and how many vulnerabilities exist in the system before its operationalization. Equally pressing issues include how to secure the system from internal and external security threats that may exist in the face of resident vulnerabilities. These two problems are considered increasingly important because they necessitate the development of tools and techniques capable of analyzing dependability and security aspects of a system. These concerns become more pronounced in the cases of safety-critical and mission-critical systems.System Reliability and Security: Techniques and Methodologies focuses on the use of soft computing techniques and analytical techniques in the modeling and analysis of dependable and secure systems.
