Human Trafficking : Contexts and Connections to Conventional Crime
Human trafficking involves the violation of societal norms and often activates criminal justice responses including police, courts, juvenile justice, and child protective services.Due to the complex nature of human trafficking, some behaviours that facilitate human trafficking cannot be easily identified and assigned to conventional crime categories.As a result of this complexity, criminologists have yet to fully explore the problem of human trafficking.In recent years, however, there has been a growing interest among criminologists in human trafficking and its intersections with the criminal justice system and overlap with conventional types of crime.This edited collection of research aims to underscore these intersections in order to further improve the description, explanation, and prevention of human trafficking.Research contained in this book provides a step forward by describing police perceptions and responses to human trafficking while also providing insight into victims with reports on victim perceptions of their treatment by the police.Most notably, this volume has moved research on human trafficking beyond descriptive frequencies to sophisticated multivariate analyses.This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Crime and Justice.

Conventional Military Strategy in the Third Nuclear Age
This volume delves into the way conventional deterrence operates between nuclear-armed states in the third nuclear age.Unlike the first and second ages the advent of this new age has witnessed greater strain on the principles of mutual vulnerability and survivability that may result in increased risks of advertent or inadvertent escalation and horizontal nuclear proliferation. The book looks at the sum of three key simultaneous developments in the third nuclear age that merit attention.These include the emergence of asymmetric strategies, the introduction of unmanned platforms and the expansion of nuclear arsenals.The volume discusses how these concurrent developments might shape the practice of conventional deterrence and provides useful insights into conventional military dynamics, not just among the current nuclear dyads but also ones that may emerge in future.It seeks answers to several key issues in state security not limited to:What purpose and scope does the conventional military instrument have in a state’s overall military strategy versus other nuclear-armed states?If mutual vulnerability and deterrence are the frameworks, why did the prospect of escalation appear in the first place?What are the trends — political, doctrinal, or technological — that augment or diminish conventional and nuclear interface?With insights on military crises that have witnessed participation from nuclear-armed states like the United States, Russia, China, Pakistan, and India this book will especially be of interest to scholars and researchers working in the areas of security and deterrence studies, defence and strategic studies, peace and conflict studies, and foreign policy.It will also appeal to policymakers, career bureaucrats, security and defense practitioners, and professionals working with think tanks and embassies.

Employees First, Customers Second : Turning Conventional Management Upside Down
MORE THAN 100,000 COPIES SOLD One small idea can ignite a revolution just as a single matchstick can start a fire. One such idea--putting employees first and customers second--sparked a revolution at HCL Technologies, the IT services giant. In this candid and personal account, Vineet Nayar--HCLT's celebrated CEO--recounts how he defied the conventional wisdom that companies must put customers first, then turned the hierarchical pyramid upside down by making management accountable to the employees, and not the other way around. By doing so, Nayar fired the imagination of both employees and customers and set HCLT on a journey of transformation that has made it one of the fastest-growing and profitable global IT services companies and, according to BusinessWeek, one of the twenty most influential companies in the world. Chapter by chapter, Nayar recounts the exciting journey of how he and his team implemented the employee first philosophy by: * Creating a sense of urgency by enabling the employees to see the truth of the company's current state as well as feel the "romance" of its possible future state * Creating a culture of trust by pushing the envelope of transparency in communication and information sharing * Inverting the organizational hierarchy by making the management and the enabling functions accountable to the employee in the value zone * Unlocking the potential of the employees by fostering an entrepreneurial mind-set, decentralizing decision making, and transferring the ownership of "change" to the employee in the value zone Refreshingly honest and practical, this book offers valuable insights for managers seeking to realize their aspirations to grow faster and become self-propelled engines of change.

Is conventional sunscreen toxic to cats?
Yes, conventional sunscreen can be toxic to cats. This is because many sunscreens contain ingredients like zinc oxide, which can be harmful if ingested by cats. Cats are known to groom themselves, so if they come into contact with sunscreen and ingest it while grooming, it can lead to toxicity. It is important to use pet-safe sunscreens or keep cats away from areas where conventional sunscreen has been applied.

To what extent is language conventional?
Language is largely conventional in that it relies on agreed-upon rules and structures for communication. The meanings of words and the grammar of a language are determined by the conventions of the community that uses it. However, there is also a degree of flexibility and creativity in language use, as speakers can create new words, phrases, and meanings within the framework of the conventions. Therefore, while language is largely conventional, it also allows for individual expression and innovation.

What is meant by conventional media?
Conventional media refers to traditional forms of mass communication such as newspapers, magazines, television, radio, and billboards.
