Chasing the Devil
By: Reichert, Dave
Published by: Little, Brown
For eight years, Sheriff David Reichert devoted days and nights to capturing the Green River Killer-the most notorious serial killer in American history. He was the first detective on the case in 1982, and doggedly pursued it as the body count climbed to 49 and it became the most infamous unsolved case in the nation. Frantically following all leads, even as more bodies surfaced near the river outside Seattle, Sheriff Reichert befriended the victims' families, publicly challenged the killer, and risked his own safety-and the endurance and love of his family-before he found his madman.

Elder Abuse Prevention
By: Nerenberg, Lisa
Published by: Springer Publishing Company
This book describes what has been done and what remains to be done to prevent elder abuse, treat its effects, and ensure justice. It further addresses the broader need to fortify our long-term care, protective service, and legal systems to meet the new and imminent demands of a burgeoning elderly population. Nerenberg explores trends that have shaped or define practice in the field including the ''criminalization'' of elder abuse, the Supreme Court's Olmstead decision, an increasingly multicultural elderly population, and heightened understanding the ''psychology of victimization.''. Elder Abuse Prevention describes:. • elder forensics centers. • elder courts. • family justice centers. • elder shelters. • new ''hybrid'' multidisciplinary teams. • asset investigators. • mass marketing fraud prevention. • support groups for victims. • restorative justice interventions. • techniques to improve restitution. • international initiatives. • culturally specific outreach.

Love and Madness
By: Levy, Martin
Published by: Harper Collins
On a spring evening in 1779, as she emerged from London's Covent Garden Theatre, a beautiful young woman was shot in the head at point-blank range by a man in a black suit. The brutal murder was even more shocking because of the victim's identity -- she was Martha Ray, live-in mistress to the Earl of Sandwich and devotee of the arts. The man accused of her murder was none other than James Hackman, a respected Anglican minister and Ray's former lover. The aftermath of the crime created an uproar in London high society, as aristocrats debated Hackman's motives. Had he intended to commit suicide, as he later claimed, but, in a moment of weakness, turned his gun on Ray instead? This riveting tale of a crime of passion re-creates the slaying and the clergyman's trial, which was the unrivaled media sensation of its time.

Aboriginal Suicide is Different
By: Tatz, Colin
Published by: Aboriginal Studies Press
This is a study of youth who have, or feel they have, no purpose in life—or who may be seeking freedom in death. It is a portrait of life, and of self-destruction, by young Australian Aboriginal men and women. To comprehend this phenomenon occurring more often outside custody, one has to appreciate Australian Aboriginal history— it contributes more to an understanding of suicide today than to psychological or medical theories. These youth are suffering more from social than from mental disorder.

April 16th: Virginia Tech Remembers
By: Lazenby, Roland
Published by: Plume
Monday, April 16, 2007 started like any other Monday at Virginia Tech, with professors and students preparing for another busy week of classes. However, word quickly circulated of a shooting in the dorms - and the gunman was still loose. The campus went into lockdown, and as the gruesome events unfolded in Norris Hall, a group of journalism students trapped in a nearby building transmitted stories and updates to the student-run website, PlanetBlacksburg.com. Now, these students, together with their journalism instructor and members of the Virginia Tech community, have documented the events of that day. April 16th: Virginia Tech Remembers gives a voice to the students, faculty, and staff who lived through the shooting, and serves as a memorial for the 32 victims. The book also describes the onslaught of media coverage that immediately followed, and reveals the remarkable resilience of the students of Virginia Tech throughout the entire ordeal.
