Millions of people live, travel, and work in areas with significant kidnap risks, yet kidnaps of foreign workers, local VIPs, and tourists are surprisingly rare and the vast majority of abductions are peacefully resolved - often for remarkably low ransoms. In fact, the market for hostages is so well ordered that the crime is insurable. This is a puzzle: ransoming a hostage is the world''s most precarious trade. What would be the right price for your loved one - and can you avoid putting others at risk by paying it? What prevents criminals from maltreating hostages? How do you (safely) pay a ransom? And why would kidnappers release a potential future witness after receiving their money? Kidnap: Inside the Ransom Business uncovers how a group of insurers at Lloyd''s of London have solved these thorny problems for their customers. Based on interviews with industry insiders (from both sides), as well as hostage stakeholders, it uncovers an intricate and powerful private governance system ordering transactions between the legal and the criminal economies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe important issues raised by this book make it an indispensable guide for those interested in understanding the dark world of kidnapping for ransom. * Joshua Sinai, Washington Times *\u003cbr\u003eThis is the latest, and in many ways one of the very best, of a recent wave of \"New Institutional Economics of Marginal Markets\" books...

As an evolutionary psychologist, Dr Harrison brings a much-needed perspective to understanding the inner workings of a subset of serial murderer who have been underacknowledged for centuries. To gain such insight, Dr Harrison compiled decades' worth of data and discerned the who, what, when, where, why, and how related to female serial murderers by giving attention not only to their lives and crimes but also to the often misunderstood psychosocial and behavioral drives behind their motivation. Dr Harrison's research proves how ill-equipped typologies are to classify female serial murderers, given that those systems were designed by men who were interested only in the mindset of the male serial sexual killer. Among other important findings, Dr Harrison draws an interesting distinction between the victim acquisition tactics of both genders: female serial murderers maintain a 'gatherer' style, while their male counterparts adhere to their 'hunter' nature.

Based on interviews, archival research, judicial records, underground videos, and prison memoirs, Crack explains why, in a de-industrializing America in which market forces ruled and entrepreneurial risk-taking was celebrated, the crack industry was a lucrative enterprise for the ''Horatio Alger boys'' of their place and time. These young, predominately African American entrepreneurs were profit-sharing partners in a deviant, criminal form of economic globalization.

With great moral passion and flashes of wit, David Farber provocatively demonstrates in this riveting chronicle that while crack, in the awful devastation it wreaked, was a business like no other, it also was a business, like any other. A must-read contribution to the history of our time.'

Along the way, it illuminates the era's racism, political excesses and media exaggerations, as well as the lasting damage crack and crack dealers wrought in countless neighborhoods of color.'

Amanda Salazar, Kings County Politics\u003cbr\u003e'In succinctly presenting a thorough look at the political, economic, and cultural contexts for the crack enterprise, Farber concludes that the players who decided to sell crack were rational actors in a culture of 'entrepreneurial greed.' In the end, we may begin to wonder how the dealer in the hood might be distinguished from the dealer in Big Pharma's executive suite.' Kim Hewitt, The Metropole\u003cbr\u003e'The social history of illicit drugs was lacking a thoroughly researched account on crack use in the 1980s and US historian David Farber has filled the gap with a concise, well-written and informative book that sheds light on a dark episode of contemporary American history, and further illustrates the link between racial and economic inequality and psychoactive substance abuse. The reading is at times absorbing, with some short biographies of crack dealers and users, which provide a fascinating glimpse into the underworld; ... In sum, this excellent tome will likely become the essential text for a contemporary social history of crack cocaine in the United States, and one that will hopefully spur more contributions, focusing on specific places in the country.'

These top researchers provide us with an insight into contemporary debates on perspectives of sex work, regulation of sex workers and\/or third parties, and how sex work is transforming in an increasingly globalized world.  They also draw on their expertise to provide sound advice on methodological approaches to prospective sex work researchers on how to conduct rigorous and ethical research in the field of sex work. This book should be the go-to resource for students and anyone else wanting to broaden their knowledge on sex work.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Gillian Abel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 - The Sociology of Sex Work Chapter 2 - The Cultural Context of Commerce and Sex Chapter 3 - Sex Workers and Sex Work Chapter 4 - Children, Young People and CSEC Chapter 5 - Buying Sexual Services Chapter 6 - Sex Workers, Labour Rights and Unionization Chapter 7 - Crime Justice and the Sex Industry in the UK Chapter 8 - Communities, Services and Welfare Chapter 9 - International Models of Regulating Sex Work Chapter 10 - Globalisation and the Sex Trade Chapter 11 - Researching the Sex Industry","brand":"Sage Publications Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48739586015575,"sku":"9781473989351","price":42.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781473989351.jpg?v=1720052668"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/collections\/crime-and-criminology.oembed?page=62","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
