Jess E. Dines The importance of the expert witness has been long established in our judicial system. Look no further than the high profile O .J. Simpson trial; prosecutors would likely have never gone to trial without experts to testify. Other media-magnet trials include those of Kobe Bryant, Michael Jackson and Scott Peterson. Meanwhile, several trials involving extremely complex accounting and other business issues are still to come. The plain fact is that in the modem era, the expert is indispensable. Multi-million-dollar judgments depend on accurately reconstructing an accident, identifying a forged signature, matching a latent fingerprint with a person, tracing a microscopic bit of DNA to its owner, or any of a thousand other procedures that are now commonplace. Sometimes, the judgment of criminal guilt lies in the balance. Such witnesses are needed to establish the credibility of evidence-or call into doubt that credibility. Expert Witness Manual provides a guide as to how this is done. With a contribution on Criminology by renowned Forensic Scientist, Dr. Henry Lee, Criminalist for the famed O.J. Simpson Trial.

Gregory M. Cooper and Michael R. King, with Thomas McHoes An inmate, incarcerated for the rape of seventy-five women, reveals in an interview that if his victims had simply put a pair of old construction boots at the front door, he would have passed by and never even considered them as potential targets. The grieving father of a murdered seventeen-year-old woman admits that he should have been more involved in his daughter’s life and paid attention to the “friends” in her immediate circle. Most of us only half-listen to the public service announcements about safety in the home. We lock our doors at night, but do little else to change habits that may make us the next victims of the dangerous individuals who are always on the watch for their next opportunity. This book takes readers through the mindset of predatory criminals—their motives, various plans of attack, and way of thinking—and then teaches simple lifestyle techniques that will help reduce the risk of becoming victimized. Criminal behavior specialists Greg Cooper and Mike King provide expert analysis based onreal-life cases, in addition to moving insights from victims and criminals themselves. The authors make the point that the people who commit these crimes aren’t much different from the predators of the wild, preying on the weak and unsuspecting. What makes these individuals more dangerous than their instinctive wildlife counterparts, however, is that they consciously choose to inflict their will on the more vulnerable members of their own species. To protect our loved ones and ourselves requires that we truly educate ourselves about the predators who live in our society and then take appropriate action. This excellent, in-depth study will help readers lead safer lives. Website: Prometheus Books - Purchase Online Prometheus Books New Releases – May 2007 Criminology
