The philosophy of law is usually recognized as jurisprudence.

Understanding the behaviours and thoughts of criminals can be the key in a criminal investigation and is fundamental in prevention of crime. Figure out patterns of behaviour and offenders thought processes can give law officers a much needed advantage. This text provides an introduction to criminal psychology.

Some scholars use the plural term public criminologies to indicate that there are multiple publics and many possible interpretations of how to bridge the gap between academic criminology and public discourse. This book provides an introduction to public criminology.

Criminology needs a strong public policy base to solve problems related to crime and punishment. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to public policy and criminology.

Being ethical is also not the same as following the law. Law is often opposite to what is ethical, as history showed us many times. Ethics refers to well-founded standards of right and wrong. Ethics is important for all participants in the legal system and for those who struggle for justice. This book provides an introduction to the ethics of criminal justice.

Criminology is the scientific study of the nature, extent, management, causes, control, consequences, and prevention of criminal behaviour, both on the individual and social levels. This book covers the bases regarding victims, crime and police to encourage further reading and study of criminology.

Protection of basic human rights today is the clearest answer to the question - are the humans in our societies essentially free? This is the line the governments and institutions must not cross. They should protect the values of their citizens from any invasion. This is a legal minefield because it is part of every area of law. This book examines criminal justice and human rights.

Comparative criminal justice investigates and evaluates a national system of justice in terms of other countries and cultures. Comparative criminal justice takes a descriptive, historical, or political approach. Comparativists are trying to find the best solutions by observing international practice through space and time. This book thoroughly investigates systems of camparative criminal justice.

Crime and Punishment, two sides in the eternal carousel. They always haunt the minds of men. The eternal source of inspiration, fear and emotions. who has the right to determine what is sufficient redress? Time of duels and mass shootings is behind us. The world has turned to the struggle to find a way to reintegrate penalized in our ranks. But how far have we come on this way?

Analyses of aspects of the relationship between the courts, on the one hand, and the government, the legal profession, universities, the media and civil society, on the other.

Focuses on both the studies of classical total chemical element to dry matter concentration, and the new genetic tools for physiological characterization of plants crops. Interest in plant analysis as a crop management tool has been stimulated in recent years by increased use of scouting programs and crop consultants and by a higher level of sophistication among farmers themselves.

Provides a collection of papers on barley cultivation, including improvements in production, selection and uses. In papers report the effect of specific conditions on barley production, such as warming, genetic drift and exposition to nanoparticles. Genetic characterization, resistance, and biochemical studies from seeds' germination to maturation are also discussed.

Presents an overview of environment friendly principles and practices used for managing animal manure more efficiently and in a sustainable manner for creating a consistent fertilizer product. In addition to manure management, the book also describes technologies for converting manure to biogas and management of gaseous emissions and run off of manure derived greenhouse gases.

Urban tree management is the careful care of tree populations in urban settings for the purpose of improving the urban environment. Urban tree management advocates the role of trees as a critical part of the urban infrastructure. This text explores the benefits of urban trees and describes their effects on quality of urban life and well-being.

Provides an introduction to biofuel crop sustainability. Biofuels are fuels derived from biomass - any matter derived from plants or animals. Biomass has traditionally been used as fuel for energy production in the form of wood, charcoal or animal waste. A basic distinction is made between unprocessed primary biofuels, such as fuel wood, and processed secondary biofuels.

Energy security is the association between national security and the availability of natural resources for energy consumption. Food security is a condition related to the supply of food, and individuals' access to it. This book explores food and energy security, and how these issues affect people's daily lives.

Reviews the advances in transgenic techniques, genome editing systems, and functional genomics tools for identification and utility of signaling molecules for improvement in plant drought and saline tolerance as well as for directly manipulating key C and N transporters to improve crop yields and nutritional quality.

Examines the conservation, evaluation and utilization of wheat biodiversity for improvement of wheat varieties. Worldwide, more land is used to grow wheat than any other crop. Pre-breeding supports the development of new varieties of wheat, and will have a major impact in addressing elements of the global challenge of food security.

Land degradation is recognised as a key issue for world conservation, as land is the basis of all human food, livestock feed, fibre, and fuel. The complex relationship between human activities and the land degradation processes is explored in this book, with a particular emphasis on different habitat types, such as forest, woodlands and drylands.

Rice is a cereal grain and represents the most consumed staple food for the major part of the human population, especially in Asia. Rice production has been improved, especially through genetic studies. In this book, the latest papers about rice germplasm, genetic and improvement are presented. The state-of-the-art of genomic studies on rice cultivars is also reported.

Proives an introduction to forest management. Sustainable forest management deals with the increasing socio-economic demands of growing human populations while maintaining ecological function of forest ecosystems. Forest management deals not only with conservation of biodiversity of forests, but also its role in carbon recycling, climate change and ecosystem based management of broader landscapes.

Explores the role transgenic animals have played in scientific and medical discovery. Transgenic animals - worms, flies, fishes, rodents and livestock - are the invaluable models that have allowed the scientific and medical community to study in depth the mechanisms of gene and genome function and complex disease phenotypes, to discover current and potential therapeutic approaches.

Examines strategies for studying and protecting plants. This book examines where and how ex situ, in situ and genetic conservation can be used for sustainable plant conservation and diversity maintenance.

Plant tissue culture is the regeneration of a whole plant from plant cells, tissues or organs in a suitable nutrient medium under aseptic conditions. This book brings together a wide range of published research studies and highlights the large number of commercial plants whose growth and development have been upgraded using tissue culture techniques.
