"Varnado offers up truly invaluable lessons from his work on the front line of crime scene investigation."--The Midwest Book Review

Violence against women has reached epidemic proportions in America. Now, a twenty-year veteran detective shares hard-won lessons from the front line of crime scene investigation. Using actual case studies from his own career, Detective Michael L. Varnado advises women on how to avoid becoming "soft targets" for violent predators.

Soft Targets presents an array of actual crimes including breaking and entering, domestic violence, abduction from the workplace, Internet predators, and more. The fact that many of these horrific acts took place in bucolic communities only emphasizes the need for constant vigilance against crime. Detective Varnado also speaks frankly, as an insider, about the inadequacies and even negligence of our legal and law enforcement systems. For example, his face-to-face encounters with the evil within the criminal mind have convinced him that society needs the death penalty.

Soft Targets includes hotlines, Web sites, and additional resources for crime survivors, as well as self-defense tips and other crime prevention advice.

High Throughput Screening for Food Safety Assessment: Biosensor Technologies, Hyperspectral Imaging
<p>Recent advances in array-based detectors and imaging technologies have provided high throughput systems that can operate within a substantially reduced timeframe and other techniques that can detect multiple contaminants at one time. These technologies are revolutionary in terms of food safety assessment in manufacturing, and will also have a significant impact on areas such as public health and food defence. This book summarizes the latest research and applications of sensor technologies for online and high throughput screening of food. </p> <p>The book first introduces high throughput screening strategies and technology platforms, and discusses key issues in sample collection and preparation. The subsequent chapters are then grouped into four sections: Part I reviews biorecognition techniques&#x3b; Part II covers the use of optical biosensors and hyperspectral imaging in food safety assessment&#x3b; Part III focuses on electrochemical and mass-based transducers&#x3b; and finally Part IV deals with the application of these safety assessment technologies in specific food products, including meat and poultry, seafood, fruits and vegetables. </p>
