Book Description

Known as a writer whose stories “balanced romance, scandal, and a considerable amount of heart” (A.V. Club), New York Times bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey fearlessly explores how bad even good people can sometimes behave in the game of love.... Stephan loves ’em and leaves ’em, just like his dad. Chanté thinks she’s found her dream man—until his wife and kids come banging on her door. Jake is a player—left with bad dreams he just can’t shake. Darnell is true to his wife...but the temptation’s getting tougher every day. Tammy is caught between the man she loves, and the woman he’s promised to. And while Karen lectures her friends about fooling around, she may not live up to her own high standards.... This is the world of Eric Jerome Dickey. It’s heart-wrenching and hilarious, smart and soulful, and as honest and recognizable as your own—and that of everyone who never loved you back.

Book Description

A social history of cheating and how American history -- through real estate, sports, finance, academics, and of course politics -- has had its unfair share of rigged results and widened the margins on its gray areas. Drawing from the intriguing (and sometimes unbelievable) true stories of the lives of everyday Americans, historian Julie M. Fenster traces the history of the weakening of our national ethics through the practice of cheating. From marital infidelity to financial fraud; rigged sports competitions to corruption in politics and the American education system; nuclear weaponry to beauty pageants; hospitals, TV gameshows, and charities; nothing and no one is exempt. And far from being ostracized, cheaters in every sphere continue to survive and even thrive, casting their influence over the rest of our society. And nowhere is this more obvious than in the recent tectonic shift in politics, where a revolution in our collective attitude toward fraudsters has ushered in a new kind of leadership. Part history of an all-American tradition, part dissection of an ongoing national crisis, Cheaters Always Win is irresistible reading -- a smart, sardonic, and scintillating look into the practice that made America what it is today.

Book Description

How relaxed could our life be if there weren't always these dishonest, envious people, cheaters, intriguers and dazzlers. With cunning and lies they gain our trust to abuse it thoroughly. We experience envy and greed, discrimination, exploitation or financial damage, while the cheater makes a career at our expense. His envy does not grant us anything, and he talks badly about us while pretending to be our best friend. And sometimes it is even those who are particularly close to us who deceive us so much: our spouse, a colleague, a relative or our superior. With various checklists in this book, such as the Cheater Recognition Test, you can find out for yourself, whether you are surrounded by honest friends or by underhanded hypocrites. The book also shows you how to defend yourself against cheaters. In addition to the cheating behavior of individuals, the last chapter of the book deals with the threat to the ethical principles in organisations posed by corruption and mismanagement and it describes the internal control system as an effective countermeasure.

Book Description

A study by The Journal of Marital and Family Therapy reports that 57% of men and 53% of women admit to committing infidelity at least once. And although anecdotal, many experts believe that half of these individuals will cheat repeatedly. To avoid becoming a serial victim of a cheating partner, it's essential that you learn to distinguish the excuses from the root causes of recurring infidelity. Because serial cheaters are rarely forthcoming with answers, Why Cheaters Cheat uses real-life examples of infidelity to help you sift through the excuses and identify the issues that create a propensity to cheat again. Only then can you make an informed decision to stay or walk away.

Book Description

Why Do People Cheat?Most cheaters don't cheat to hurt their partner.However, people demonize cheaters seeing the behavior as a reflection on their moral character. Then people lump all cheaters into one big 'he's-a-dirt bag' or 'she's-a-slut' category.Dr. Denise Wood wrote Inside the Cheater's Mind: Why He Cheats & Why She Cheats to dispel this myth. While Dr. Wood doesn't condone cheating, she believes that understanding rather than condemnation is more likely to save a relationship.As a doctor of clinical psychology, Dr. Wood believes cheating should be looked at no differently than any other mental health issue. Cheating flags the marriage that it is a broken system, rather than writing it off as a character flaw that can never be fixed and maintained.Inside the Cheater's Mind: Why He Cheats & Why She Cheats is a compilation of Dr Wood's brilliant original study into personality cheaters and situational cheaters that highlight the motivation of why someone will cheat on his or her partner. Do you know these cheaters?Impulsive Cheater, Narcissistic Cheater, Pathological Cheater, Charismatic Cheater, Puppeteer Cheater Sociopathic Cheater, Eternal Youth Cheater, Escapist Cheater, Revenge Cheater & MoreInside the Cheater's Mind is a user friendly book about infidelity with cheating stories adated to relate to your life. If you've ever found yourself in a relationship where infidelity or suspicions cloud the relationship, or just want to better understand pop cheating in the tabloids, Inside the Cheater's Mind will provide useful assessments, recommendations and tools to illuminate your relationships.

Book Description

Jeremy Bentham and Gary Becker established the tradition of analyzing criminal law in utilitarian and economic terms. This seminal book continues that tradition with specially commissioned, original papers that span the philosophical foundations of the use of economics in criminal law, both traditional economic perspectives and behavioral and experimental approaches to the discipline. The contributors examine and evaluate the optimal design of criminal law norms as well as the ideal structure of law enforcement institutions. They delineate what wrongs ought to be criminalized, identify the boundaries between criminal law and tort, and determine the optimal size of sanctions given the differential vulnerability of victims. They also analyze the special considerations that apply to the regulation of corporate crime, the effects of technology on crime, and the effects of the distribution of wealth on sentencing. This essential Handbook provides students and scholars of criminal law and law and economics the opportunity to explore the diversity of contemporary approaches to the economics of crime. Criminologists, sociologists and policymakers will also find it a valuable addition to their collections.
