Managing Bank Risk

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 17:52:45 +0000

This comprehensive volume offers an in‑depth examination of the risks faced by modern banking institutions and the tools used to measure and manage them. Morton Glantz, a finance scholar known for his work in credit analysis and emerging market risk, brings both academic rigor and practical insight to topics such as credit risk, market risk, interest rate exposure, liquidity management, derivatives, and regulatory capital. Blending theory with real-world applications, the book explores how banks identify vulnerabilities, price risk, structure portfolios, and respond to changing economic and regulatory environments. Case material and quantitative frameworks make it especially useful for finance professionals, advanced students, and anyone interested in the mechanics of financial stability. Readers seeking a detailed, methodical guide to bank risk management will find this a substantial and informative resource.

Criminal Profiling : An Introduction to Behavioral Evidence Analysis

Thu, 04 Jan 2024 18:47:17 +0000

Criminal Profiling is a unique work centered on the deductive profiling method developed by the author and motivated by the limited knowledge available regarding the criminal profiling process. Deductive profiling is different from other forms of profiling in that it focuses on criminal profiling as an investigative process, solving real crime through an honest understanding of the nature and behavior of criminals. It approaches each criminal incident as its own universe of behaviors and relationships. Throughout the text, the author illustrates and emphasizes the most crucial tenet that any good criminal profiler should adhere to: the enthusiastic desire to investigate and examine the facts. This Second Edition contains the same core knowledge that made the first edition a best-seller while introducing a wealth of new material. This expanded and thoroughly revised edition includes a completely new set of case studies including the Sam Sheppard trial. New chapters include expanded coverage on false reports, psychological autopsies, criminal profiling in court, stalking, domestic homicide, sexual asphyxia, and staged crime scenes. Contributors include: John J. Baeza, Eoghan Casey, W. Jerry Chisum, Dana S. La Fon, Michael McGrath, Wayne Petherick.

A Graduate Course in Probability

Thu, 02 Nov 2023 14:32:14 +0000

Probability and Mathematical Statistics: A Series of Monographs and Textbooks: A Graduate Course in Probability presents some of the basic theorems of analytic probability theory in a cohesive manner. This book discusses the probability spaces and distributions, stochastic independence, basic limiting operations, and strong limit theorems for independent random variables. The central limit theorem, conditional expectation and martingale theory, and Brownian motion are also elaborated. The prerequisite for this text is knowledge of real analysis or measure theory, particularly the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem, Fubini’s theorem, Radon-Nikodym theorem, Egorov’s theorem, monotone convergence theorem, and theorem on unique extension of a sigma-finite measure from an algebra to the sigma-algebra generated by it. This publication is suitable for a one-year graduate course in probability given in a mathematics program and preferably for students in their second year of graduate work.
