The Broken Promise" is a story of two individuals whose love for each another makes one of them break the pact he has made with himself. Jean Ireland is on a week-long vacation and she intends to enjoy it to the fullest. It is the much needed break for her hectic days as a teacher, and she hopes that the ranch where she has reserved a place to stay will provide her with the peace and relaxation she direly needs. It turns out that Aaron Cesar's ranch is more than anything Jean has imagined it to be. From the moment she steps inside the house, she immediately feels a strong sense of belongingness. Meeting David, Aaron's son, only makes Jean want to stay at the ranch for good even more. David is just as attracted to Jean, but he has made a promise with himself that he will not get involved with their guests. With each day that passes by, David finds himself getting more and more drawn to Jean. Both are aware of how strongly they feel for one another, and how one promise keeps them apart.....

Biometrics, Crime and Security

By: Marcus Smith,Monique Mann,Gregor Urbas

This book addresses the use of biometrics – including fingerprint identification, DNA identification and facial recognition – in the criminal justice system: balancing the need to ensure society is protected from harms, such as crime and terrorism, while also preserving individual rights. It offers a comprehensive discussion of biometric identification that includes a consideration of: basic scientific principles, their historical development, the perspectives of political philosophy, critical security and surveillance studies; but especially the relevant law, policy and regulatory issues. Developments in key jurisdictions where the technology has been implemented, including the United Kingdom, United States, Europe and Australia, are examined. This includes case studies relating to the implementation of new technology, policy, legislation, court judgements, and where available, empirical evaluations of the use of biometrics in criminal justice systems. Examples from non-western areas of the world are also considered. Accessibly written, this book will be of interest to undergraduate, postgraduate and research students, academic researchers, as well as professionals in government, security, legal and private sectors.
