10/05/2007 - Ever heard of CPED? You probably think the “T” is missing from CPTED—crime prevention through environmental design—and you’d be right.

09/28/2007 - No sooner was the term “homeland security” coined than did a cavalcade of books appear with that buzz phrase in the title. In its first edition, this book merited the right to use that term, and it continues to do so in this second edition.
