  • The Legacy of INTERPOL Crime Data to Cross-National Criminology1
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE AND APPLIED CRIMINAL JUSTICE FALL 2009, VOL. 33, NO. 2 The Legacy of INTERPOL Crime Data to Cross-National Criminology1 ROSEMARY BARBERET2 John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY INTERPOL crime data constitute the oldest and most continuous cross-national data series available to criminologists. Recently, INTERPOL has decided to forego its data collection efforts. This paper, based on a systematic and extensive literature review, will examine how criminologists and other social scientists have used INTERPOL data to examine criti- cal issues in the description and explanation of cross-national crime. It will end with a critical reflection on the contribution of INTERPOL data to our knowledge base, as well as the possibilities that exist for using other data sources to continue research in this area. INTRODUCTION Crime data from INTERPOL are the oldest dataset of cross-national indica- tors of crime maintained by an intergovernmental organization. Thanks to these data, criminologists have created a literature that aims to explain national as well as cross-national differences and trends in crime rates. Created in 1923, the International Criminal Police Commission (ICPC, later abbreviated to ICPC-INTERPOL and now known as INTERPOL) was founded to facilitate police cooperation among countries, even where diplomatic ties do not exist. INTERPOL's International Crime Statistics were first published in 1950. In 2006, INTERPOL decided to cease collecting and disseminating crime data, and 2005 was the last

  • ISIS Agent, Sterling Archer, Launches His Pirate King Theme FX Cartoon Series Archer Gets Its First Hip Hop Video Courtesy of Brooklyn Duo, Drop It Steady
    ISIS agent, Sterling Archer, launches his Pirate King Theme FX Cartoon Series Archer Gets Its First Hip Hop Video courtesy of Brooklyn duo, Drop it Steady Fans of the FX cartoon series Archer do not need to be told of its genius. The show was created by many of the same writers who brought you the Fox series Arrested Development. Similar to its predecessor, Archer has built up a strong and loyal fanbase. As with most popular cartoons nowadays, hip-hop artists tend to flock to the animated world and Archer now has it's hip-hop spin off. Brooklyn-based music duo, Drop It Steady, created a fun little song and video sampling the show. The duo drew their inspiration from a series sub plot wherein Archer became a "pirate king" after his fiancée was murdered on their wedding day in front of him. For Archer fans, the song and video will definitely touch a nerve as Drop it Steady turns the story of being a pirate king into a forum for discussing recent break ups.

Others say the organizers of Occupy Wall Street were listening to their demo when they began to discuss their movement. Though it has yet to be verified, word that the first two tracks off of their upcoming EP, The Most Interesting EP In The World, were recorded at the ceremony for Prince William and Katie Middleton and are spreading through the internets like wild fire.

ARCHER A thesis submitted to the Graduate School­New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Art History written under the direction of Cynthia Jacob, J.D., Ph.D. and approved by ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey [May 2016] ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS THE CARE OF ART AND ARTIFACTS SUBJECTED TO THE LAW ENFORCEMENT PROCESS By JACOB B. ARCHER Thesis Director Cynthia Jacob, J.D., Ph.D. This thesis is intended to serve as a guide for law enforcement officers on how to care for art and artifacts subjected to the law enforcement process. Law enforcement officers may encounter art and artifacts in various ways, such as through seizure, unexpected finds, and planned recovery operations. Law enforcement officers have a duty to properly care for property, to include cultural property objects such as art and artifacts, while in their custody and control, but art and artifacts often require care beyond the routine handling generally afforded to common property items. This thesis will offer suggestions for the law enforcement officer on how to recognize art and artifacts in the field and how to subsequently handle and care for same. These suggestions are meant to be integrated into existing law enforcement policies and procedures so as to realistically account for the time, skill, and financial resources associated with law enforcement officers and their respective agencies, all the while maintaining adherence to generally accepted evidence collection practices.

Historical glacier outlines from digitized topographic maps of the Swiss Alps Daphné Freudiger1,2, David Mennekes1, Jan Seibert2, and Markus Weiler1 1Chair of Hydrology, University of Freiburg, 79098, Freiburg, Germany 2Hydrology and Climate Unit, Department of Geography, University of Zurich, 8057, Zurich, Switzerland Correspondence: Daphné Freudiger ([email protected]) Received: 12 July 2017 – Discussion started: 4 August 2017 Revised: 26 February 2018 – Accepted: 23 March 2018 – Published: 20 April 2018 Abstract. Since the end of the Little Ice Age around 1850, the total glacier area of the central European Alps has considerably decreased. In order to understand the changes in glacier coverage at various scales and to model past and future streamflow accurately, long-term and large-scale datasets of glacier outlines are needed. To fill the gap between the morphologically reconstructed glacier outlines from the moraine extent corresponding to the time period around 1850 and the first complete dataset of glacier areas in the Swiss Alps from aerial photographs in 1973, glacier areas from 80 sheets of a historical topographic map (the Siegfried map) were manually digitized for the publication years 1878–1918 (further called first period, with most sheets being published around 1900) and 1917–1944 (further called second period, with most sheets being published around 1935). The accuracy of the digitized glacier areas was then assessed through a two-step validation process: the data were (1) visually and (2) quantitatively compared to glacier area datasets of the years 1850, 1973, 2003, and 2010, which were derived from different sources, at the large scale, basin scale, and locally.

My goal in this paper will be to examine whether there is any way to understand this idea in a way that both makes sense of the way in which it is used and presents a distinctly ‘sporting’ form of integrity. I will look at three recent high-profile sporting incidents that caused sporting integrity to be called into question. I will then examine three different ways in which philosophers have sought to understand integrity and examine whether any of these accounts can provide us with a plausible account of sporting integrity.
