Product Description
It could happen when you make a routine withdrawal from an ATM, respond to an e-mail asking for information about an online account, or leave a new box of checks unattended in your mailbox. Identity theft is one of the easiest crimes to commit in America—and one of the hardest to prosecute. As thieves become increasingly clever, Americans have more reasons than ever to fear this elusive, ubiquitous crime. Now there’s a book to help you beat it.

In two easy-to-understand sections, Terri Cullen, The Wall Street Journal’s expert on identity theft, first walks you through the most common types of identity theft and how to arm yourself against them, and then leads victims step-by-step through the process of reclaiming a stolen identity. The average victim loses more than $6,000 and spends approximately 600 hours negotiating the complex bureaucracies and paperwork—this book will help save time and effort by laying out the process. And by following the advice in the first half, you may never need the second!

You’ll learn:
• how to avoid the most common scams, from “phishing” to “dumpster diving”
• why children under eighteen are the fastest-growing target, and how you can protect your family
• why your credit report is the single most important document for protecting your identity
• how to use the sample letters, forms, and other useful tools inside for recovering from identity theft

Pretty Basic
Pretty basic.If you don't know anything about ID theft, this is a good start. "Best Credit" is much better for practical information on how to fix stolen credit ID.

Excellent
Excellent identity theft book.Although not a technical book, it gives the basic facts on threats and makes recommendations that should significantly reduce the incidence of identity thefts and the impact of an identify theft, if one occurs.

Valuable resource
A thorough, easy-to-read depiction of how identities are stolen, how you can protect yourself, and what to do if your efforts fail.Significantly, the book points out that identity theft often is an inside job; i.e., it isn't a hacker in Russia, it is one of your nearest and dearest (?).

THE Best Identity Theft Book Available
*****
I have read several identity theft books, and this book from the Wall Street Journal is by far the best. For starters, it is short, containing JUST the information you need to know. The first half of the book is about how to prevent identity theft. The second half of the book is about how to recover from identity theft. It is so helpful for me to have everything I need to know collected succinctly all in one place.

The book covers things you can do to prevent identity theft and exactly how the latest scams are perpetrated so that you can be aware (including utility theft, employment identity theft, medical identity theft, and home equity theft). It covers understanding your credit report, including credit monitoring tools and other credit tools (including the differences between a credit alert and a credit freeze, something I had been confused about); the book identifies your credit report as the single most important document for protecting your identity. There are many examples of credit reports and how to interpret them. There is also information about identity theft and technology, made understandable for pretty much anyone.

The second half of the book includes resources for identity theft recovery---numbers to call, sample letters, sample logs, laws, and more. Hopefully, by reading and implementing the first half of the book you will never need the second half of the book. Nothing is ever totally foolproof against identity theft, of course, but there are so many basic things you can do to minimize your risk of becoming a victim.

Despite including all of this information, the book can be read by anyone in 4-5 hours. In my opinion, this is information everyone should be aware of. Law enforcement is overburdened and cannot be relied upon to protection; each person has to take personal responsibility to protect themselves, and this book is all you need to do so. You'll have work to do after reading the book, of course, but it will be worth it. Save you money, and if you want to just buy one book, make it this one.

Highly recommended.

Worship centers are targeted by criminals. They prey in the parking lots and in the worship facilities. Worshipers intent in prayer do not focus on the crime risks of our time. When properly administered, crime prevention techniques enhance the worship experience, rather than detract from it. This book was designed to help clergy, church laity, and crime prevention specialists implement positive and affirming security approaches in worship centers. ... Read more

Very Informative
Finding this book was timely, as we had recently had several vehicles broken into at our church. For the security professional, there is nothing new here. But as a layman, there is much good info on how to protect your worship place and the people that attend. Highly recommended.

Product Description
Violence, conflict and crime are a personal anxiety in all societies and at all social levels. Police gaols and international forces are not providing security because dealing with one situation does not prevent others emerging. John Burton argues that the sources of conflict and violence are, on the one hand, the denial to many of their personal needs for development, social recognition and identity, and, on the other, the social expectation of compliance and the means used to enforce it. Social protest, terrorism, revolution, self-appointed leaderships, ethnic conflicts, industrial strife, street gangs of unemployed youth and even some family violence can be explained within this frame of 'structural violence'. He examines the adversarial institutions of societyleadership, legislatures, the work place, the legal system and the international relations system - and considers what each would be like if designed to solve basic problems rather than to contain them. This provocative and challenging book will be of interest to students, lecturers and practitioners of politics, administration and management, industry, law and law enforcement, education and social work. ...

"The Handbook clearly points out that although the literature on crime prevention is voluminous, the social conditions that invoke criminality are resistant to social change. The articles repeatedly demand a critical evaluation of prevention theories and programs, and call for accountability within the crime-prevention profession. The collection will serve as a valuable resource for policymakers and practitioners as well as for academics. The volume includes an excellent directory of crime/delinquency-prevention organizations and a supplementary bibliography." Choice ... Read more

The key role ofplacesvery small areas such as a street corner, an address, a building or street segment -- in the study of crime is explored in 15 papers by criminologists. Particular emphasis is given to "hot spots" of criminality, the geographic distribution of crime places, and the new technology of computer mapping of crime. The chapters are grouped into four main themes: theory, research, applications, and methods. Lawrence Sherman presents a broad outline of how the study of crime at specific places can be developed and how it might influence public policy. Marcus Felson examines people s motivation to intervene and prevent crimes at certain places. Geoffrey Barnes discusses the displacement of crime. John Eck develops a general model of the geography of illicit drug markets. William Spelman examines thecriminal careersof public places. Michael Maltz describes life-course mapping. Richard and Carolyn Black map liquor-related crimes. Nadera S. Kevorkian finds place to be an important factor in people s fear of crime. Lorraine Green provides evidence that a place-based approach can strengthen prevention programs. D. Kim Rossmo shows how crime place theory and research can aid practical crime investigation. Michael Buerger et al. stress the need to clearly define the boundaries of crime places. David Weisburd and Lorraine Green illustrate the difficulties of measurement displacement. Dennis Rosenbaum and Paul Lavrakas also highlight the weaknesses of present data on place. Tom McEwen and Faye Taxman show how computer mapping of crime places has been applied by police agencies. ... Read more
