From cops who are paragons of virtue, to cops who are as bad as the bad guys…from surly loners, to upbeat partners…from detectives who pursue painstaking investigation, to loose cannons who just want to kick down the door, the heroes and anti-heroes of TV police dramas are part of who we are. They enter our living rooms and tell us tall tales about the social contract that exists between the citizen and the police. Love them or loathe them-according to the ratings, we love them-they serve a function. They’ve entertained, informed and sometimes infuriated audiences for more than 60 years.

Birdsville is one of the most remote police postings in Australia.
It can be lonely and uneventful for weeks, then the dramas come thick and fast: from desert rescues to rising floods, venomous vipers to visiting VIPs. Throw in heat, dust and flies and it’s not a job for the faint-hearted, unless you’re Senior Constable Neale McShane, who has single-handedly taken care of a beat the size of Victoria for the past 10 years. Recently retired from this ‘hardship posting’, Neale and his family thrived on the adventures and colourful times that come with the territory in the furthest corner of our country.

In this book, Neeraj Kumar, one of India’s most well-respected and accomplished police officers – a former BCCI anti-corruption chief – takes us inside the seamy world of corruption in cricket. What one encounters is an ungentlemanly game of cops and robbers: swindlers who cheat young players while the BCCI looks the other way, sham matches held just for the sake of betting and top administrators who care more for commerce than the integrity of the sport. This is an eye-opening and shocking insider’s account of the rot within Indian cricket.

English | ISBN: 0522856853 | 2011 | 320 pages | EPUB | 848 KB
Honest and engaging, this memoir reveals the remarkable rise through police ranks of Australia’s first female chief commissioner. A police officer for more than 35 years, Christine Nixon shares the pressures of a life in the public eye and coping with difficult aspects of the job, such as losing a colleague in the line of duty. Documenting a cultural shift in policing as well as in the role of women in Australia, this narrative portrays Nixon’s eight year tenure as being characterized by her tough anticorruption stance, her frequently acrimonious relationship with the police association, and her high approval ratings with the Victorian public. Written from a unique point of view, this account explores one woman’s personal and professional life.

For nearly three decades, a series of rapes and murders occurred around Western New York by a nameless, faceless man dubbed "The Bike Path Rapist" by local media. Authorities had his DNA and knew his tendency to use a ligature, but could never capture the elusive criminal. His first known attacks were in the mid-1980s, continuing regularly through 1994. After a twelve-year gap, in September 2006, he returned by strangling and killing a 45-year-old mother along a rural bike path.
