In 49 out of 50 crimes in Britain the criminals go free. Many are young and become persistent criminals. Where do the answers lie? Home environment? Education? Criminal intelligence? Technology? The law and judicial procedures? Prison or its alternatives? How can we protect civil liberties - for suspects, accused and victims?

Is there a risk that Malaysia's racial mixture and its weighted political and economic structures could again explode into the kind of violence which, in 1969, was only just prevented from setting the whole country on fire? And has Singapore's success been bought at a price in civil liberties too high for its health in the future? Four years of th

This book examines how different techniques for organizing support were applied in Singapore and Malaya over the period 1945-1963. It focuses on the point of contact between the revolutionaries and the public and follows the fortunes of the countries following the defeat of revolutions.

Richard Clutterbuck examines the changing nature of conflict since the end of the Cold War. Using the techniques of his previous books, he analyses the connections between terrorism and drug trafficking and the options available to governments in combatting the terrorist threat, including a review of the current high technology available to law enforcement institutions.

First published in 1990, this book will be of great interest to anyone concerned about conflict and stability in the 1990s, especially governments, police, and buisnesses involved in anti-terrorist technology. It will also be of value to students of politics who want to understand terrorism, and to people who want to take account of future technology in handling poltical and social problems.

First published in 1990, Richard Clutterbuck's fascinating analysis of European security confronts the problems of internal European community frontiers and technological aids in combating terrorism and international crime. He looks at what the EC countries have done in the past, describes the technology now becoming available, and makes radical proposals for airport security, fighting drugs, and overcoming the intimidation of witnesses and juries. Above all, he foresees he exciting prospect of the USSR, the USA, and a united Europe co-operating for the first time to overcome the common enemies of terrorism and international crime.

Crimes generated by the drug world are rampant. A full half of all murders in the United States are drug-related. Each year, 30,000 Columbians die violent deaths, victims of the drug trade. Fifty percent of all burglaries in Britain are committed by addicts to pay for their habit. And in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Mafia-style gangs are quickly learning how lucrative the drug trade can be.In an attempt to expose the links between crime, drugs, corruption, and terrorism throughout the world, expert Richard Clutterbuck here provides a profile of drug use world-wide. Drawing on the dramatic examples of Peru and Columbia as case studies, the book describes in detail the manufacture and distribution of cocaine, crack, heroin, cannabis, speed, ice, and LSD. Solutions exist, Clutterbuck argues, not in Latin America or Asia, but on the streets of the West. At a time when policies of suppression are faltering and when the War on Drugs has clearly failed, Clutterbuck weighs the pros and cons of the alternatives: What would need to be done to make suppression work? Should some drugs be decriminalized? How effective has the Dutch experiment been?Is the licensing of drugs to cure addictions an effective remedy?

An Archaeology of Ireland in the Age of Improvement offers the first dedicated archaeological examination of Improvement in Ireland. It explores the rhetoric and practice of ‘improving’ the country through its landscape, built heritage, artefacts and changing routines; and asks whether Irish Improvement can be considered distinctive.The volume brings together archaeologists with substantial experience in Irish post-medieval studies to evaluate the place of Improvement within archaeological discourses of historical capitalism and colonialism. It views the Improvement ethic as a manifestation of European enlightenment thinking that had far-reaching material and societal implications and explores, in Ireland’s turbulent and contested circumstances, how it was adopted as a justification for attempts to effect far-reaching social, cultural and moral transformations. The themes under examination include Gaelic responses to Improvement, changes to urban and rural settings, developing industries and the social worlds of artefacts and funerary practices. Across seven chapters the book provides a synthesis of emerging work on this crucial aspect of post-medieval Ireland. The book will interest historical archaeologists, researchers and students. It will also appeal to historical geographers and the broader historical studies community.
