  Policing the City: Crime & Legal Authority in London, 1780-1840 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 495min

  In Policing the City, Harris seeks to explain the transformation of criminal justice, particularly the transformation of policing, between the 1780s and 1830s in the City of London. As utilitarian legal reformers argued that criminal deterrence ought to be based on certain and rational punishment rather than random execution, they also had to control the discretionary authority of enforcement. This meant in theory and practice the centralization of policing in the 1830s, and the end of local policing, which was seen as corrupt, inefficient, and unsuitable for rational criminal justice. Revolutionary changes in policing began locally, however, in the 1780s. Such local changes preceded and inspired national reforms, and local policing up to the centralizing measures of the 1830s remained dynamic, responsive, and locally accountable right until its demise. Anxiety about policing had as much to do with the social origins of the police as it did about the origins of criminality, and control over the discretionary authority of watchmen and constables played a larger role in criminal justice reform than the nature of crime. The national, metropolitan, and City police reforms of the late 1830s were thus the culmination of a contentious argument over the meanings of justice, efficiency, and order, rather than its beginning. Harris's evidence reveals how what we've come to think of as modern policing evolved out of local practice and reflects shifts in wider debates about crime, justice, and discretionary authority. The book is published by The Ohio State University Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sam Devereaux. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/096476/bk_acx0_096476_sample.mp3.

  The U-Boat War (eBook, ePUB)

  The accepted historical narrative of the Second World War predominantly assigns U-boats to the so-called 'Battle of the Atlantic', almost as if the struggle over convoys between the new world and the old can be viewed in isolation from simultaneous events on land and in the air. This has become an almost accepted error. The U-boats war did not exist solely between 1940 and 1943, nor did the Atlantic battle occur in seclusion from other theatres of action. The story of Germany's second U-boat war began on the first day of hostilities with Britain and France and ended with the final torpedo sinking on 7 May 1945. U-boats were active in nearly every theatre of operation in which the Wehrmacht served, and within all but the Southern Ocean. Moreover, these deployments were not undertaken in isolation from one another; instead they were frequently interconnected in what became an increasingly inefficient German naval strategy. This fascinating new book places each theatre of action in which U-boats were deployed into the broader context of the Second World War in its entirety while also studying the interdependence of the various geographic deployments. It illustrates the U-boats' often direct relationship with land, sea and aerial campaigns of both the Allied and Axis powers, dispels certain accepted mythologies, and reveals how the ultimate failure of the U-boats stemmed as much from chaotic German military and industrial mismanagement as it did from Allied advances in code-breaking and weaponry.

  The Problems with Poor Customer Service, How Companies Can Enhance Customer Service, and Strategies for How Brands Can Win Back Lost Customers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 41min

  This book sheds light on the problems with offering poor customer service and elucidates how companies can enhance customer service. Moreover, strategies for how brands can win back disaffected customers are also delineated. It is almost inconceivable to fathom that a preponderance of frontline employees do not care about providing stellar customer service even though their brand’s longevity and profitability depends on the quality of their resourcefulness in assisting the customer. The cost of a company having eminently poor customer service is quite devastating in the long haul to the company’s profitability. Furthermore, offering sub-par customer service can adversely impact a business in multiple facets beyond comprised profitability. Poor customer service not only elicits negative brand recognition, a comprised brand reputation, the loss of brand loyalty, the forfeiture of future lifetime customers, and a reduction of brand equity but can also lead to higher employee turnover rates.Moreover, offering abysmal customer service not only culminates in reduced employee morale but also causes negative word of mouth about the brand to be rapidly disseminated on social media websites like a wildfire. Inefficient customer service instances can transpire when even part of time is spent arguing with customers. This will almost always lead to unsatisfied customers.Treating customers without any respect and leaving their issues unresolved is one the fastest way to become infamous for having the most terrible customer service. It is estimated that in the United States alone, over 83 billion dollars of potential sales revenue each year is forgone due to customers receiving poor customer service. Irate, incompetent, and argumentative customer service representatives contribute to tarnishing a brand’s reputation and having their company succumb to negative net losses. ungekürzt.
