"Loss Control Auditing: A Guide for Conducting Fire, Safety, and Security Audits is a one-stop resource for both developing and executing a loss control audit program. This fully updated second edition addresses loss control auditing from the perspectives of workplace safety, physical security,...

Measurement of seat belt and air bag effectiveness is complicated by the fact that systematic data are collected only for crashes in which a fatality occurs. These data suffer from sample selection since seat belt and air bag usage influences survival rates which in turn determine whether a...

This paper proposes a basic model with two types of capital: productive capital directly involved in the production process and capital devoted to monitoring workers. Surveillance capital intensifies workers' job strain, while wage recognition encourages their engagement. Firms face a double...

PurposeAs a well-known social institution, crime prevention has traditionally been in the purview of public authorities. However, the ceaseless increase in the use of online resources and governments’ responsibilisation approach to cybercrime prevention have created an ecosystem, which...

Given police abolitionism's new visibility after the 2020 racial justice protests, we assess stakeholder beliefs on the protests' stock impacts on police-affiliated firms. Experts generally underestimate the firms' stock gains, except situated experts like community organizers and police...

We document three facts about the global diffusion of surveillance AI technology, and in particular, the role played by China. First, China has a comparative advantage in this technology. It is substantially more likely to export surveillance AI than other countries, and particularly so as...

Do investors anticipate that demands for racial equity will impact companies? We explore this question in the context of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement--the largest racially motivated protest movement in U.S. history--and its effect on the U.S. policing industry using a novel dataset on...

Shenzhen: Die Metropole der Zukunft zwischen Kreativität und Überwachung. Wer wissen möchte, wie wir und vor allem unsere Kinder bald schon leben, welche Technologien sie und die Welt prägen werden, muss durch Shenzhen streifen. Die 20-Millionen-Metropole in Südchina gehört zu den...

"Herbert William Heinrich has been one of the most influential safety pioneers. His work from the 1930s/1940s affects much of what is done in safety today - for better and worse. Heinrich's work is debated and heavily critiqued by some, while others defend it with zeal. Interestingly, few people...

The border as vehicle -- The rise of Europe's border infrastructures -- The shape of technopolitics -- Detection, detention and design at the airport -- Surveilling landscapes and seascapes -- The portable provision of care and control -- Infrastructural investigations -- Extreme infrastructure.

This book analyzes the 2018 and 2019 men's and women's World Cups to understand how the use of Video Assistant Referees (VAR) affected each tournament. Unlike goal technology, where the decision is entirely left to the machine's algorithm, the VAR still has a human component, making it prone to...

We investigate if there is any effect on crime following the installation of public surveillance cameras. To do so, we benefit from a quasi-experiment that took place in Medellin, Colombia with the installation of 587 cameras between 2013 and 2015. We highlight three main findings. First, there...

While there is increasing information on commercial motor vehicle (CMV) safety systems, truck automation, and truck platooning, there is less information on how roadway and infrastructure technology can improve truck safety, mobility, and efficiency using these technologies. Intelligent...

On-board commercial vehicle safety technologies present new opportunities for management and logistics in the road transport industry. As with many emerging technologies, the link to opportunity beyond the designed purpose of a particular technology is not fully realised until after...

Heavy commercial vehicle technology for safety has developed in capability and application and is having a positive impact on truck safety. And the potential for further safety improvements is exciting. We wish to place the evolution of such technology in perspective with related developments...

This report is intended to encourage discussion and debate regarding the development of legally and ethically sound policies and systems. It is not meant to be a comprehensive and elaborated study given the scope of the assignment. Biometrics and identity management are becoming increasingly...

In bis zu 85 % sind menschliche Fehler der Hauptgrund für Unfälle im Seeverkehr. Situationsbewusstsein (SB) ist die Hauptursache dieser Fehler. In den meisten Fällen kann fehlerhaftes SB auf zwei Fakten zurückgeführt werden: Es waren zu viele oder zu wenige Informationen vorhanden. In...

In order to study the dynamic changes in gas concentration, to reduce gas hazards, and to protect and improve mining safety, a new method is proposed to predict gas concentration. The method is based on the opposite degree algorithm. Priori and posteriori values, opposite degree computation,...

Dieses Lehrbuch behandelt systematisch alle Fachgebiete der IHK-Sachkundeprüfung nach dem aktuellen Rahmenstoffplan. Besonderen Wert hat der Autor dabei auf den oft als schwierig empfundenen Rechtsteil gelegt: Zahlreiche Abbildungen und Beispiele veranschaulichen die Gesetzestexte und ihre...

Dieses Übungsbuch ergänzt das gleichnamige Lehrbuch. Es schließt die Lücke zwischen dem Unterrichts- und Lernstoff und der Vorbereitung auf die Prüfung. Mit Hilfe der Fragen und Antworten können Lernende den wichtigen Prüfungsstoff strukturiert wiederholen, den eigenen Lernfortschritt...

Biometrics involves recognizing individuals based on the features derived from their Physiological and or behavioral characteristics. Biometric systems provide reliable recognition schemes to determine or confirm the individual identity.Applications of these systems include computer systems...
