The Active Killer Fallacy by Robin Kipling Pdf

The Active Killer Fallacy is an exposé of the realities of police preparation and response to active killer events. The fallacy is that we believe we are preparing our police to respond optimally to these catastrophic events. But we are not. Most agencies believe that a tactical formation perfectly tailored for the response to a mass murder will be used to end the killing when in reality, that is very unlikely to happen.The truth described in these pages will remind you of the challenges that police trainers cannot deny. When we acknowledge the varying aptitudes of our trainees and the time constraints in which we must train them, it must shape our curriculum enabling every student the chance for retention and success.The physiological effects of stress revisited herein will emphasize the need for simplicity and consistency amongst our tactics, not a deviation from our current standard operating procedures.The Active Killer Fallacy, through reliable research and statistics, educates readers as to the likelihood that police will end the killing in a mass murder event. This reality lays the groundwork for this innovative, principle based approach to training.The Active Killer Fallacy will teach readers how to communicate effectively with their team through a means of verbal and non-verbal communication to increase its effectiveness. A thorough exploration and application of principles such as John Boyd's O.O.D.A. loop and Charles Remsberg's Thought Process will convince readers that the optimal approach to training the men and women responding to these tragedies is not by changing the way we operate but by understanding the underling principles of why we do what we do, so they can do it better; and to instil this understanding of principles so each officer can adapt and apply them to the changing environment and situation as opposed to the unlikely accessing of a brand new skill amidst the chaos.The Active Killer Fallacy advocates a single flexible formation comprised of principally learned members with the ability of morphing seamlessly from a building search to an active killer response and back again. The groundbreaking and irrefutable research illuminated in The Active Killer Fallacy shapes the training in this primer and comes complete with training outlines. The tactics described within this primer stands on the mighty shoulders of simplicity and consistency that will not only train police for the reality of the active killer events, but can also be applied to all other areas of your training curriculum.The Active Killer Fallacy will discuss methods to decrease the erosion of disuse so that hard earned training results don't dissipate over time.The result of this training primer will be a group of tactically and principally sound officers capable of adapting these principles to the ever changing environments and situations and thus preparing them for the reality of active killer events, and not the fallacy.

The Truth about Opium: Being a Refutation of the Fallacies of the Anti-Opium Society and a Defence of the Indo-China Opium Trade by William H. Brereton Pdf

ÊThe object of these lectures is to tell you what I know about opium smoking in ChinaÑa very important subject, involving the retention or loss of more than seven millions sterling to the revenue of India, and what is far more precious, the character and reputation of this great country. With respect to the former, I would simply observe that I do not intend to deal with the question on mere grounds of expediency, strong as such grounds unquestionably are, for, if I believed that one-half of what is asserted by the ÒAnglo-Oriental Society for the Suppression of the Opium Trade,Ó as to the alleged baneful effects of opium smoking upon the Chinese, were true, I should be the first to raise my humble voice against the traffic, even though it involved the loss, not of seven millions sterling, but of seventy times seven. But it is because I know that these statements and all the grave charges made by the supporters of that society, and repeated from day to day, against the Government of India and the Government of this country, and also against the British merchants of China, to be not only gross exaggerations but absolutely untrueÑmere shadowy figments, phantasies, and delusionsÑthat I come forward to draw aside the curtain, and show you that behind these charges there is no substance. Were my knowledge of the opium question derived merely from books and pamphlets, articles in the newspapers, and ordinary gossip, I would not venture to trespass upon your time and attention, because in that respect you have at your disposal the same means of information as I have myself. But I come before you with considerable personal experience, and special knowledge of the subject, having lived and practised as a solicitor for nearly fifteen years in Hong Kong, where I had daily experience, not only of the custom and effects of opium smoking, but also of the trade in opium in both its crude and prepared state. I had there the honour of being solicitor to the leading British and other foreign firms, as well as to the Chinese, from the wealthy merchant to the humble coolie; so that during the whole of that period down to the present time I have had intimate relations in China with foreigners and natives, especially with those engaged in the opium trade. Under these circumstances I had daily intercourse with the people from whom the best and most trustworthy information on the subject of opium and opium smoking could be obtained, and my experience is that opium smoking, as practised by the Chinese, is perfectly innocuous. This is a fact so patent that it forces itself upon the attention of every intelligent resident in China who has given ordinary attention to the subject.Ê

Killer Books by Aníbal González Pdf

Writing and violence have been inextricably linked in Spanish America from the Conquest onward. Spanish authorities used written edicts, laws, permits, regulations, logbooks, and account books to control indigenous peoples whose cultures were predominantly oral, giving rise to a mingled awe and mistrust of the power of the written word that persists in Spanish American culture to the present day. In this masterful study, Aníbal González traces and describes how Spanish American writers have reflected ethically in their works about writing's relation to violence and about their own relation to writing. Using an approach that owes much to the recent "turn to ethics" in deconstruction and to the works of Jacques Derrida and Emmanuel Levinas, he examines selected short stories and novels by major Spanish American authors from the late nineteenth through the twentieth centuries: Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera, Manuel Zeno Gandía, Teresa de la Parra, Jorge Luis Borges, Alejo Carpentier, Gabriel García Márquez, and Julio Cortázar. He shows how these authors frequently display an attitude he calls "graphophobia," an intense awareness of the potential dangers of the written word.

The Minds of Mass Killers by P. Shavaun Scott Pdf

Public mass killings are becoming more common. Though the chances of being harmed or killed in a mass shooting are slim, each incident affects the public's sense of safety. There are many myths and falsehoods concerning mass murderers. As a result, the public lacks reliable knowledge about the reasons behind such killings, preventing the development of comprehensive strategies to mitigate the violence. Written by a mental health therapist with thirty years of clinical experience in violence prevention, this book clarifies the realities of mass killings. Using research from forensic psychology, it provides a foundation for understanding the "pathway to violence" identified in the personal histories of many mass murderers. Drawing from criminology, neuroscience and developmental and social psychology, the author makes the case that we are all capable of creating a safer society.

The Seven Deadly Sins by Stanford M. Lyman Pdf

When Stanford M. Lyman authored The Seven Deadly Sins: Society and Evil in 1978 it was hailed by Alasdair MacIntyre as "a book of absorbing interest and importance...[that] places us all in his debt." By Nelson Hart as "a masterful and thought-provoking book...[that] is the only scholarly treatment of sin that is so well-informed by the best of ancient through modern perspectives." By James A. Aho as a work whose "abstract hardly does justice to the scholarly and detailed analysis of sin." And by Harry Cohen as a "book...[that] stands as a beautiful illustration of what holistic, idiosyncratic, interdisciplinary, and creative thinking and writing can bring to bear on the age-old problem of society and evil." The American Sociological Association's section on the Sociology of the Emotions selected this book as one of the works that laid the foundations for the study of pride, lust, envy, and anger—basic sentiments embedded in the social process. For this revised and expanded edition Lyman has written a new chapter, "Sentiments, Sin, and Social Conflict: Toward a Sociology of the Emotions." The new edition will be a valuable work for courses in social psychology, ethics, deviance, and the sociology of morals and of religion.

Follies & Fallacies in Medicine by Petr Skrabanek,James Stevenson McCormick Pdf

The progress of science and the growth of knowledge, claim the authors, depend upon challenging accepted dogma and belief. Their purpose in this book is not to criticize medicine or those who practice it but to advocate the need for criticism in medicine. Doctors, they claim, can discover new ways and improve old ways to ease the human journey from cradle to grave--through rational inquiry, honest admission of ignorance, and by demystifying rituals.

Legal Evidence and Proof by Henry Prakken,Hendrik Kaptein Pdf

As a result of recent scandals concerning evidence and proof in the administration of criminal justice - ranging from innocent people on death row in the United States to misuse of statistics leading to wrongful convictions in The Netherlands and elsewhere - inquiries into the logic of evidence and proof have taken on a new urgency both in an academic and practical sense. This study presents a broad perspective on logic by focusing on inference not just in isolation but as embedded in contexts of procedure and investigation. With special attention being paid to recent developments in Artificial Intelligence and the Law, specifically related to evidentiary reasoning, this book provides clarification of problems of logic and argumentation in relation to evidence and proof. As the vast majority of legal conflicts relate to contested facts, rather than contested law, this volume concerning facts as prime determinants of legal decisions presents an important contribution to the field for both scholars and practitioners.

Fatal Grievances by Gregory M. Vecchi,Mary Ann Markey,Jeffrey A. Daniels Pdf

Active killer attacks frequently dominate the headlines with stories of seemingly random mass killings in school, campus, and workplace settings. Nearly all of the attacks are over before the police can respond, leaving unanswered questions as to why these attacks happen and what can be done to prevent them. Fatal Grievances: Forecasting and Preventing Active Killer Threats in School, Campus, and Workplace Settings takes a proactive view of active killer threat management and resolution to prevent the attack before it occurs. Drawing from established threat assessment, behavioral analysis, and law enforcement negotiation theory and practice, the book presents models and methods designed to forecast and prevent an active killer attack through the process of identification, assessment, and engagement. This approach begins with definitions and orientations to violence, the importance of the primacy of focusing on direct behaviors of planned lethal violence over other more indirect behaviors, understanding how to identify a fatal grievance and that only fatal grievances result in planned lethal violence, the importance of understanding the process of crisis intervention as the key to eliminating the fatal grievance and the motivation to kill, and the use of time-series predictive behavioral threat forecasting methods to prevent an active killer attack. Case studies from within the United States (US) and abroad support this unique approach to threat assessment and make the concepts and principles accessible to professionals working in the fields of education, human resources, and security.

Taking Life by Torbjörn Tännsjö Pdf

When and why is it right to kill? When and why is it wrong? Torbjörn Tännsjö examines three theories on the ethics of killing in this book: deontology, a libertarian moral rights theory, and utilitarianism. The implications of each theory are worked out for different kinds of killing: trolley-cases, murder, capital punishment, suicide, assisted death, abortion, killing in war, and the killing of animals. These implications are confronted with our intuitions in relation to them, and our moral intuitions are examined in turn. Only those intuitions that survive an understanding of how we have come to hold them are seen as 'considered' intuitions. The idea is that the theory that can best explain the content of our considered intuitions gains inductive support from them. We must transcend our narrow cultural horizons and avoid certain cognitive mistakes in order to hold considered intuitions. In this volume, suitable for courses in ethics and applied ethics, Tännsjö argues that in the final analysis utilitarianism can best account for, and explain, our considered intuitions about all these kinds of killing.

Summary of Seamus McGraw's From a Taller Tower by Everest Media, Pdf

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy is the belief that a tumor between the killer’s thalamus, hypothalamus, and amygdala was the cause of the massacre. But even after the autopsy, the Connally Commission could not conclusively determine that the tumor was the reason for the killings. #2 We are, as a nation, among the most violence-prone people on earth. We are also a technologically proficient people who are better equipped to kill and maim than most other nations. #3 However, when an active shooter does get his hands on a semiautomatic rifle, the results are catastrophic. According to a 2018 report compiled by Brigham and Women’s Hospital and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, active shooters armed with any kind of semiautomatic rifle are likely to kill or wound nearly twice as many people as killers armed with firearms that fire off fewer rounds before needing to be reloaded. #4 America is not the only country with a high rate of gun ownership, and we are not the only nation with a history of using guns to protect ourselves.
