Drawing on David Arditti’s practical experience and that of many other amateur astronomers, it gives invaluable help in making all the important decisions. To begin with, Setting up a Small Observatory addresses what you really need from an observatory, whether to build or buy, what designs you should consider, and where you should site it. Uniquely, it also considers the aesthetics of an amateur observatory: how to make it fit in with your home, garden, and yard, even disguising it as a more common garden building if necessary. There’s also a wealth of practical details for constructing and equipping your small observatory – everything from satisfying local planning laws and building codes through to making sure that your completed observatory is well-equipped, convenient, and comfortable to use. Whether you are considering a simple low-tech DIY approach to a fixed observatory, or aspiring to a sophisticated domed building, there is something here for you.Patrick Moore's practical astronomy series.Astronomical observatoriesTelescopesAstronomical observatories.Telescopes.522/.1Arditti David1542312Moore Patrick12221MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784998703321Setting-up a small observatory3794924UNINA04641nam 22007815 450 991076548190332120260302133102.09783031436581303143658X10.1007/978-3-031-43658-1(MiAaPQ)EBC30954469(Au-PeEL)EBL30954469(CKB)28887602800041(DE-He213)978-3-031-43658-1(EXLCZ)992888760280004120231118d2023 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierPolicing Distracted Driving Contemporary Challenges in Roads Policing /by Leanne Savigar-Shaw, Helen Wells1st ed. 2023.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2023.1 online resource (168 pages)Palgrave's Critical Policing Studies,2730-5368Print version: Savigar-Shaw, Leanne Policing Distracted Driving Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023 9783031436574 Includes bibliographical references and index.Chapter 1 – Introduction and purpose -- Chapter 2 - The mobile phone distraction problem and responses to it -- Chapter 3 - Keeping up, staying in touch, getting on -- Chapter 4 – Navigating risk -- Chapter 5 - The ‘law-abiding offender’ -- Chapter 6 - Legitimacy, fairness and distracted driving -- Chapter 7 – Conclusion.This book draws on original research and existing theoretical perspectives and frameworks to critically examine the role of roads policing and its place within the wider field of policing. It looks at the challenges and complexities of doing roads policing and experiencing roads policing from the perspectives of police officers and the public. It uses distracted driving, and more specifically mobile phone use, as an evidence-based case study for a common issue to examine the contribution it makes to collisions, and the challenges of policing it as a driver behaviour. It also discusses broader issues such as the role of roads policing, police legitimacy, the interpretation of law, the interpretation of risk and generating compliance with the law. It speaks to both policing scholars and practitioners, as well as policy makers and road safety organisations. Leanne Savigar-Shaw is Senior Lecturer in Policing at Staffordshire University, UK. After completing a BSc and MSc in Psychology, she progressed to a PhD in Criminology focusing upon driver education and mobile phone use by drivers. She has since been involved in a number of research projects concerning mobile phone use by drivers, speeding, road safety, police legitimacy and procedural justice, and has wider research interests in the policing of the roads. Helen Wells is Senior Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Keele, UK. After completing a BA and MA in Criminology, she progressed to a PhD in Criminology focusing on the public debate around the use of speed cameras. Helen has been researching roads policing for over 20 years and has completed funded projects on topics such as ANPR, speed cameras, ‘dash cam’ evidence submission, uninsured driving, PCC attitudes to roads policing, and distracted driving.Palgrave's Critical Policing Studies,2730-5368CriminologyCriminal behaviorCrimeTechnologySocial psychologyCriminal lawCrime Control and SecurityCriminal BehaviorCrime and TechnologySocial PsychologyCriminal Law and Criminal Procedure LawInfraccions de trànsitthubPolicia de trànsitthubLlibres electrònicsthubCriminology.Criminal behavior.Crime.Technology.Social psychology.Criminal law.Crime Control and Security.Criminal Behavior.Crime and Technology.Social Psychology.Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law.Infraccions de trànsitPolicia de trànsit364.147Savigar-Shaw Leanne1448871Wells HelenMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910765481903321Policing Distracted Driving3644892UNINA
