Book Description: This is the story of the most dramatic legal development of the last one hundred years—the growing liability of real property owners or occupiers to crime victims. The Invited Killers of the title are "invited" by lax premises security, and they are not only killers but predators of every kind, including rapists, abductors, and armed robbers. The heroes of the book are the lawyers who try the cases when the criminals sue the property owners for their injuries. The cases are surveyed, but the main cases are discussed in detail, with all the courtroom thrust and parry that led to the decisions forming this volatile area of law. Written by a veteran legal observer and researcher, this book is rich in detail, broad in scope, prescient as to the future, highly readable, and full of surprises! John P. Ludington has written extensively about premises liability in the 3-volume Premises Liability 2d and the monthly Premises Liability Alert, and has edited books by leading lawyers like Jacob Stein, who represented Monica Lewinsky, and legendary Chicago litigator Jerome

The work of a father and son, this lively word-book presents the slang of law enforcement officers, including prison guards, customs officers, and street cops. It includes language gathered both from working and ex-cops and from printed sources. It evokes the life of this key speech group in an America in crisis--the pride and solidarity, the shame of corruption and brutality, the horror and the excitement of life on the front of the thin blue line. It is the sixth of Lewis Poteet's slang dictionaries, the others having come out of Nova Scotia's South Shore, the Eastern Townships of Quebec, and the worlds of hockey, cars and motorcycles, and aviation. These words and definitions offer raw material for anyone interested in language and culture, and entertainment and enlightenment for anyone fascinated by the spectacle of this living busy world of law and outlaws. The main body of the book consists of words and phrases from police slang, followed by a personal account of Aaron's attraction to and formation in police work, a set of stories from Aaron's first employment in such work, an essay on Canadian, British, and American regional police cultures by Lewis, and a Poteet Cop Talk Quiz to test your knowledge of the slang.
