	MITCHELL EWAN Coping with Crime Business Books, U.K. 1969. First Edition, Hard Cover, Illustrated by: Francis Nigel. Near Fine [Better Than Very Go/Very Good. The Businessman's Guide to Dealing with Stealing, Spying, Fraud, False Trade Descriptions and other Common Commercial Crimes : with tax, vehicle and race relations supplements. xii, 307 pages, size 8.5 inches tall by 5.75 inches, with an index. Illustrated with black and white line drawings and illustrated endpapers by Nigel Francis. ' The modern businessman cannot avoid contact with the criminal. Whether it is the petty thief, pilfering the stock or dipping into the till .... the employee, 'fiddling' the books or pocketing equipment .... the confidence trickster, obtaining money by false pretences .... the 'dud-cheque merchant' .... the burglar, the blackmailer, the robber, the thief- the business world is the favourite hunting ground of them all. Fire-raisers are the bane of insurers .... shoplifters of retailers . ' . bribed buyers, of all and sundry. Whatever the size or nature of the crime, it causes inconvenience and embarrassment at least. At most it can result in dismissals, upset staff, lack of interdepartmental confidence, perhaps even the collapse of the company. So whatever your branch of industry or commerce, you need to know how to cope with the rogues that afflict it. But handling the people involved is a matter of considerable delicacy. Are you entitled to search staff whom you suspect of stealing, or to make a bargain with criminals whom you catch? When must the police prosecute-and can you be forced to sign the charge sheet? Indeed, there might be many occasions when you want to keep the matter strictly inside the company, perhaps even to limit knowledge about it to a handful of people. But even this is not without its dangers-concealing a crime can sometimes be a crime itself. Every businessman, then, needs to know how to cope with common commercial crime. Not only security officers, but every executive, director, manager, personnel officer and supervisor should understand the new rules laid down by the Theft Act, the Trade Descriptions Act, the Race Relations Act, the Road Safety Act, the Criminal Justice Act .... All are here, in this businessman's guide to those criminal offences which are an everyday worry to responsible employers. Here, too, are sections on motoring offences, on legal costs, on preparing for trial, on courts and cases. There is a special book on 'Crookery'-suggestions on crime revention, out of the mouths of the villains themselves. And a supplement explains how the criminal law deals with tax avoiders. Written in the vivid, straightforward and witty style that has made the author so popular, this book is designed for quick reading and for ready reference. It is indispensable, profitable-and surprisingly easy-reading for all business people who need to cope with crime, if they are to protect their businesses and themselves '. Book - in Near Fine [better than Very Good] black boards with gilt lettering. Contents, Fine, clean, bright with just some minor spotting to the page edges.

	WILDEBLOOD PETER Against the Law Weidenfeld & Nicolson, U.K. 1955. Second Impression, Hard Cover. Very Good/Good Plus Plus. 189 pages, size 8.75 inches tall by 5.5 inches. ' In March 1954 Peter Wildeblood was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment for homosexual offences. The case in which he was involved-the ' Montagu Case '-was the subject of considerable controversy and was largely responsible for the Government's decision to set up a Committee to enquire into the whole question of homosexuality and the laws relating to it. Peter Wildeblood has now made a unique contribution to the discussion of this problem-for this is a first hand account of what it means to be a homosexual and one of the central figures in a cause celebre. A skilled journalist, who at the time of his conviction was Diplomatic Correspondent of the Daily Mail, he has applied these talents to a report on his own life-the circumstances leading to his arrest, the behaviour of the police, the trial, his imprisonment in Wormwood Scrubs, and his return to the world. He writes about his own problems with candour and detachment, and about those of other people-including his fellow prisoners-with real feeling. The result is not a comfortable book : but it does throw a much-needed light on a problem, which, directly or indirectly, concerns every one of us. Above all, Peter Wildeblood is completely free from either hypocrisy or self-pity ; whatever their views upon his central thesis, readers cannot fail to be impressed by his courage and passionate sincerity .' Book - in Very Good blue boards with gilt lettering - light bumping to the ends of the spine. Contents, previous owner's stamp to the free front endpaper, light browning to the pastedowns and free endpapers and light spotting to the page edges, otherwise clean and tightly bound.

	MITCHELL EWAN Coping with Crime Business Books, U.K. 1969. First Edition, Hard Cover, Illustrated by: Francis Nigel. Near Fine [Better Than Very Go/Very Good. The Businessman's Guide to Dealing with Stealing, Spying, Fraud, False Trade Descriptions and other Common Commercial Crimes : with tax, vehicle and race relations supplements. xii, 307 pages, size 8.5 inches tall by 5.75 inches, with an index. Illustrated with black and white line drawings and illustrated endpapers by Nigel Francis. ' The modern businessman cannot avoid contact with the criminal. Whether it is the petty thief, pilfering the stock or dipping into the till .... the employee, 'fiddling' the books or pocketing equipment .... the confidence trickster, obtaining money by false pretences .... the 'dud-cheque merchant' .... the burglar, the blackmailer, the robber, the thief- the business world is the favourite hunting ground of them all. Fire-raisers are the bane of insurers .... shoplifters of retailers . ' . bribed buyers, of all and sundry. Whatever the size or nature of the crime, it causes inconvenience and embarrassment at least. At most it can result in dismissals, upset staff, lack of interdepartmental confidence, perhaps even the collapse of the company. So whatever your branch of industry or commerce, you need to know how to cope with the rogues that afflict it. But handling the people involved is a matter of considerable delicacy. Are you entitled to search staff whom you suspect of stealing, or to make a bargain with criminals whom you catch? When must the police prosecute-and can you be forced to sign the charge sheet? Indeed, there might be many occasions when you want to keep the matter strictly inside the company, perhaps even to limit knowledge about it to a handful of people. But even this is not without its dangers-concealing a crime can sometimes be a crime itself. Every businessman, then, needs to know how to cope with common commercial crime. Not only security officers, but every executive, director, manager, personnel officer and supervisor should understand the new rules laid down by the Theft Act, the Trade Descriptions Act, the Race Relations Act, the Road Safety Act, the Criminal Justice Act .... All are here, in this businessman's guide to those criminal offences which are an everyday worry to responsible employers. Here, too, are sections on motoring offences, on legal costs, on preparing for trial, on courts and cases. There is a special book on 'Crookery'-suggestions on crime revention, out of the mouths of the villains themselves. And a supplement explains how the criminal law deals with tax avoiders. Written in the vivid, straightforward and witty style that has made the author so popular, this book is designed for quick reading and for ready reference. It is indispensable, profitable-and surprisingly easy-reading for all business people who need to cope with crime, if they are to protect their businesses and themselves '.

	WILDEBLOOD PETER Against the Law Weidenfeld & Nicolson, U.K. 1955. Second Impression, Hard Cover. Very Good/Good Plus Plus. 189 pages, size 8.75 inches tall by 5.5 inches. ' In March 1954 Peter Wildeblood was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment for homosexual offences. The case in which he was involved-the ' Montagu Case '-was the subject of considerable controversy and was largely responsible for the Government's decision to set up a Committee to enquire into the whole question of homosexuality and the laws relating to it. Peter Wildeblood has now made a unique contribution to the discussion of this problem-for this is a first hand account of what it means to be a homosexual and one of the central figures in a cause celebre. A skilled journalist, who at the time of his conviction was Diplomatic Correspondent of the Daily Mail, he has applied these talents to a report on his own life-the circumstances leading to his arrest, the behaviour of the police, the trial, his imprisonment in Wormwood Scrubs, and his return to the world. He writes about his own problems with candour and detachment, and about those of other people-including his fellow prisoners-with real feeling. The result is not a comfortable book : but it does throw a much-needed light on a problem, which, directly or indirectly, concerns every one of us. Above all, Peter Wildeblood is completely free from either hypocrisy or self-pity ; whatever their views upon his central thesis, readers cannot fail to be impressed by his courage and passionate sincerity .' Book - in Very Good blue boards with gilt lettering - light bumping to the ends of the spine. Contents, previous owner's stamp to the free front endpaper, light browning to the pastedowns and free endpapers and light spotting to the page edges, otherwise clean and tightly bound.
