Detector Dogs and Scent Movement: How Weather, Terrain, and Vegetation Influence Search Strategies
by Tom OsterkampDogs detect scent from a source that is carried to them in a plume by the wind. The most important tool for a detector dog handler to have on searches is a knowledge of scent plume movement or "scent dynamics" (the science of scent movement). Such knowledge resides primarily in scientific journals that are largely inaccessible to detector dog handlers and written in language that is difficult to understand. Detector Dogs and the Science of Scent Movement: A Handler’s Guide to Environments and Procedures retrieves, reviews, and interprets the results of pertinent scientific research on scent dynamics and presents these results in terms that are easier for handlers to understand. Information on the physiology of the dog’s nose, their sense of smell, and the properties of scent provide the essential information on the process of scenting. The composition of training aids for explosives, narcotics, human remains and other sources is discussed. Recommendations are made on the use of training aids, their placement during training, and the resulting availability of scent. Potential problems and handler errors in the use of training aids are also examined. The characteristics of scent plumes and how wind influences their movement are a key focus of the book. The primary task for the handler is to get the dog into the scent plume so that the dog can detect the scent and follow it to the source the handler seeks. As such, a knowledge of scent and scent plume movement will vastly improve the ability of the handler to accomplish this task. The influence of weather and physical settings such as terrain, vegetation, ground cover, soil and water on scent movement are examined in detail. Strategies for searching, detecting, and locating sources in all physical settings are presented. Specific effects associated with hills and mountains, fields and forests, bare soils and soils covered by vegetation, different soil types, and lakes and rivers are examined in detail. This includes specific recommendations are made about weather and physical settings that result in higher probability of success on searches. Detector Dogs and the Science of Scent Movement will be a vital resource for K9 handles in the private and public sectors—including in Homeland Security, law enforcement, and military settings—as well as a useful guide for lawyers, forensic, and investigative professionals who need to better understand K9 operations.
Detention and its Alternatives under International Law
by Prof Lorna McGregorIn theory, international law provides a clear framework for ensuring the rarity of detention by either characterising a detention practice as inherently arbitrary or treating it as a measure of last resort. However, some critics have argued that international law prioritises procedural safeguards, leaving the international law on the legitimacy, necessity, and proportionality of detention and its alternatives underdeveloped. Detention and its Alternatives under International Law analyses the current state of the international law on detention and its alternatives within national law and policy. It addresses armed conflict, counterterrorism, criminal justice, mental health, migration, public health, and social care. The book discusses a number of topics such as: shortcomings in how international law addresses structural inequality and discrimination; the level of scrutiny applied to the evidence supporting decisions to detain; and the availability and proportionality of alternatives to detention and their compatibility with human rights. All chapters analyse how new and emerging technologies affect decisions to detain, as well as the nature of alternatives to detention. Without conflating different forms of detention, the book proposes key means of making detention a true measure of last resort. Detention and its Alternatives under International Law will be a valuable resource to practitioners and scholars working on the right to liberty or the underlying policy areas in which detention is employed as a tool.

Detention in Non-International Armed Conflict (Oxford Monographs in International Humanitarian & Criminal Law)
by Lawrence Hill-CawthorneInternational law has long differentiated between international and non-international armed conflicts, traditionally regulating the former far more comprehensively than the latter. This is particularly stark in the case of detention, where the law of non-international armed conflict contains no rules on who may be detained, what processes must be provided to review their detention, and when they must be released. Given that non-international armed conflicts are now the most common form of conflict, this is especially worrying, and the consequences of this have been seen in the detention practices of states such as the US and UK in Iraq and Afghanistan. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the procedural rules that apply to detention in non-international armed conflict, with the focus on preventive security detention, or 'internment'. All relevant areas of international law, most notably international humanitarian law and international human rights law, are analysed in detail and the interaction between them explored. The book gives an original account of the relationship between the relevant rules of IHL and IHRL, which is firmly grounded in general international law scholarship, treating the issue as a matter of treaty interpretation. With that in mind, and with reference to State practice in specific non-international armed conflicts - including those in Sri Lanka, Colombia, Nepal, Afghanistan, and Iraq - it is demonstrated that the customary and treaty obligations of States under human rights law continue, absent derogation, to apply to detention in non-international armed conflicts. The practical operation of those rules is then explored in detail. The volume ends with a set of concrete proposals for developing the law in this area, in a manner that builds upon, rather than replaces, the existing obligations of States and non-State armed groups.

Detention of Terrorism Suspects: Political Discourse and Fragmented Practices
by Maureen DuffyControversial erosions of individual liberties in the name of anti-terrorism are ongoing in liberal democracies. The focus of this book is on the manner in which strategic discourse has been used to create accepted political narratives. It specifically links aspects of that discourse to problematic and evolving terrorism detention practices that happen outside of traditional criminal and wartime paradigms, with examples including the detentions at Guantanamo Bay and security certificates in Canada. This book suggests that biased political discourse has, in some respects, continued to fuel public misconceptions about terrorism, which have then led to problematic legal enactments, supported by those misconceptions. It introduces this idea by presenting current examples, such as some of the language used by US President Donald Trump regarding terrorism, and it argues that such language has supported questionable legal responses to terrorism. It then critiques political arguments that began after 9/11, many of which are still foundational as terrorism detention practices evolve. The focus is on language emanating from the US, and the book links this language to specific examples of changed detention practices from the US, Canada, and the UK.Terrorism is undoubtedly a real threat, but that does not mean that all perceptions of how to respond to terrorism are valid. As international terrorism continues to grow and to change, this book offers valuable insights into problems that have arisen from specific responses, with the objective of avoiding those problems going forward.

Determinanten der Nachhaltigkeit: Armut als Einflussgröße des individuellen Nachhaltigkeitsverhaltens (BestMasters)
by Sophia LeßmannDieses Buch befasst sich mit Einflussfaktoren, insbesondere mit dem Einkommen, als bisher kaum erforschte Determinante des individuellen Nachhaltigkeitsverhaltens. Die Autorin zeigt, dass das Einkommen als Indikator der Armut einen Einfluss auf das individuelle Nachhaltigkeitsverhalten hat. Dabei bildet ein wesentliches Fundament der Analyse die überblickartige Darstellung der verschiedenen Determinanten des individuellen Nachhaltigkeitsverhaltens. Die Untersuchungen zeigen darüber hinaus überraschende Ergebnisse, die Spielraum für kontroverse Diskussionen bieten, und damit eine Grundlage für weiterführende Analysen auf diesem Gebiet schaffen.
Determinanten der Preisfairness: Preisstrategie, Preisstruktur und Kontext (Beiträge zur empirischen Marketing- und Vertriebsforschung)
by Philipp LeinsleDieses Buch befasst sich mit den kundenbezogenen Effekten und preispsychologischen Wirkungsmechanismen bei zwei zentralen Entscheidungsfeldern des Preismanagements: der Preisstrategie und der Preisstruktur. Im Rahmen der Preisstrategie wird das komplexe Zusammenspiel zwischen dem Preisimage und der CSR-Reputation von Einzelhändlern untersucht. Zentrale Rolle für die vom Kunden wahrgenommene Preisfairness spielen die unterstellten Motive für die Preisstrategien und CSR-Aktivitäten von Einzelhändlern sowie deren Positionierung als Discounter oder als traditioneller Einzelhändler. Im Hinblick auf die Preisstruktur wird analysiert, inwieweit sich die Tarifwahl von Kunden durch das Zusammenspiel von Preisfairness und idiosynkratischem Fit mit zentralen Kunden- und Kontextcharakteristika erklären lässt. Für die Unternehmenspraxis liefert die Arbeit konkrete Empfehlungen zur optimalen Gestaltung und Kommunikation von Dienstleistungstarifen sowie von Preisstrategien und CSR-Aktivitäten im Einzelhandel.
Determinants of Health: Theory, Understanding, Portrayal, Policy (International Library of Ethics, Law, and the New Medicine #13)
by Matthew J. CommersFor decades, health professionals have asserted the importance of public participation in interventions for health. Medicine has pursued patient participation in clinical decision-making. In the public health realm, target groups have been asked to assist in the design and implementation of initiatives for health. In practice, however, patients and populations expect health professionals to give advice and - in some cases - to make decisions on their behalf. This implies limits to the ideal of participation. In this innovative work, the author contrasts public and professional understandings of health and the best ways to achieve health. The result is a model of lay participation in the structuring of medical and public health activity. The book is unique due to its policy-applicable, quantitative studies and its theoretical analysis of works by René Dubos and Aaron Antonovsky. It will be of value to professionals in health promotion, health education, medical anthropology, and social epidemiology.
Determined: Life Without Free Will
by Robert M SapolskyWhat if free will is an illusion? In Determined one of the world’s greatest scientists of human behaviour overturns one of our most powerful beliefs – that we are the authors of our own actions – and sets out the disturbing yet liberating implications of accepting this fact.As Robert Sapolsky shows, everything we think and do is caused by the luck of our biology and the influence of our environment, and ultimately both are beyond our control. In a world without free will, we must completely rethink what we mean by choice, responsibility, morality and justice. Sapolsky’s extraordinary book does exactly this, guiding us toward a profoundly fairer, more humane way of living together.
Determined by Reasons: A Competence Account of Acting for a Normative Reason (Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory)
by Susanne MantelThis book offers a new account of what it is to act for a normative reason. The first part of the book introduces some popular ideas and problems concerning causal and dispositional approaches of acting for reasons. The author argues that the dispositional approach should take a certain form that unites epistemic, volitional, and executional dispositions in a complex normative competence. This "Normative Competence Account" allows for more and less reflective ways of acting for normative reasons. The second part of the book clarifies the relation between the normative reason that an agent acts for and his or her motivating reasons. The chapters in this part refute the widely held "identity view" that acting for a normative reason requires the normative reason to be identical with a motivating reason. The author describes how normative reasons are related to motivating reasons by a relation of correspondence, and proposes a new understanding of how normative reasons explain those actions that are performed for them. Determined by Reasons engages with current debates from a wide range of different philosophical areas, including action theory, metaethics, moral psychology, epistemology, and ontology, to develop a new account of normative reasons.

Determinism and Freewill: Anthony Collins’ A Philosophical Inquiry Concerning Human Liberty (Archives Internationales D'Histoire Des Idées Minor #18)
by James O'HigginsThe Philosophical Inquiry concerning Human Liberty of Anthony Collins' was considered by Joseph Priestley and Voltaire to be the best book written on freewill up to their own time. Priestley admitted that it convert ed him to determinism and it had a powerful effect on Voltaire in the same direction. It seems important to place in its wider historical context a book which so influenced such men and which greatly impressed the philosophes in general. Therefore - and because such an account has value in itself - the Introduction contains a survey of the freewill controversy from the time of Hobbes to that of Leibniz, giving in some detail the opinions of Hobbes, Locke, Pierre Bayle, William King, Archbishop of Dublin, and Leibniz and an account of the Scholastic doctrine of liberty of indifference - opinions which either influenced Collins or against which he reacted. The value and originality of Collins' works need assessing. He was also at times liable to misinterpret or misunderstand the authorities he quoted. I have, therefore, subjected the Inquiry to a detailed critique. This also gives cross-references to parallel passages in Collins' works and those of the authors who influenced him, and, by discussing the philosophical and theological questions to which his writings give rise, obviates the need for a good many footnotes in the notes that follow the text.
Deterrence (Crime and Punishment: Critical Essays in Legal Philosophy)
by Thom BrooksDeterrence is a theory which claims that punishment is justified through preventing future crimes, and is one of the oldest and most powerful theories about punishment. The argument that punishment ought to secure crime reduction occupies a central place in criminal justice policy and is the site for much debate. Should the state deter offenders through the threat of punishment? What available evidence is there about the effectiveness of deterrence? Is deterrence even possible? This volume brings together the leading work on deterrence from the dominant international figures in the field. Deterrence is examined from various critical perspectives, including its diversity, relation with desert, the relation of deterrence with incapacitation and prevention, the role deterrence has played in debates over the death penalty, and deterrence and corporate crime.

Deutsche Rechtsgeschichte: Land und Stadt Bürger und Bauer im Alten Europa (Enzyklopädie der Rechts- und Staatswissenschaft)
by Karl S. Bader Gerhard DilcherDie Autoren legen eine Darstellung der Rechtsgeschichte vom Ende des weströmischen Reiches bis zum Umbruch um 1800 vor, die sich in Gliederung und Perspektive von der älteren, ausgesprochen oder unausgesprochen auf den Staat bezogenen Rechtsgeschichte löst. Bezugspunkt der Rechtsentwicklung ist vielmehr der genossenschaftliche Lebenszusammenhang, der sich seit dem Hochmittelalter in der ländlichen und der städtischen Gemeinde oder Kommune verdichtet und rechtlich ausformt. Die Entwicklung der traditionalen Rechtsformen wie auch das Eindringen des gelehrten Rechtsdenkens werden so von ihren Wirkungskreisen her gesehen. Das Buch bringt für Wissenschaftler wie interessierte Studenten der Rechts- und Geschichtswissenschaften sowie der weiteren einschlägigen Disziplinen synthetische Darstellungen wie problemorientierte Erörterungen des Forschungsstandes. Dieser wird zudem in ausführlichen, wissenschaftsgeschichtlich angelegten Literaturübersichten zu den Hauptkapiteln dokumentiert.
Deutsche Stiftungen und ihre Kommunikation: Grundlagen und Kriterien für das Kommunikationsmanagement (Soziale Investitionen)
by Ulrike PoschUlrike Posch entwickelt bislang fehlende Kriterien für gute Stiftungskommunikation als Teil des Stiftungsmanagements. Auf der Basis der historischen Wurzeln von Stiftungen, ihrer phänomenologischen Ausprägungen sowie den gegenwärtigen normativen Anforderungen an das Stiftungsmanagement zeigt sie praktische Schritte zu einer zeitgemäßen Stiftungskommunikation. Hintergrund für diese Forschungsarbeit ist ein sichtbar wachsendes Stiftungswesen in Deutschland, das professioneller Kommunikation bedarf. Denn trotz der zunehmenden Bedeutung kann bislang weniger als die Hälfte der Bevölkerung eine Stiftung namentlich nennen und 80 Prozent geben an, noch nie Kontakt zu einer Stiftung gehabt zu haben.
