Our children are now spoiled in ways that go far
beyond materialism. But they are suffering to a degree
we never anticipated: we now have the highest rates
of child depression, underage pregnancy and violent
and anti-social behaviour since records began.

Yet adults, at every level, have retreated from
authority and in doing so have robbed our children of
their basic supporting structures. In this book, Dr Sigman
takes issues by the scruff of the neck, among them
children's sense of entitlement, the effects of TV and
computers, single-parent homes and 'blended' families, parental guilt and
the compensation culture. He offers a clear practical message to us all -
parents, grandparents, teachers and policy-makers alike - as to how we can
redress the status quo, redefine our roles and together cultivate happier and
better-behaved children.

Wasting Police Time – PC David Copperfield

The No1 best-seller about law and order that the
government lied about... Wasting Police Time is the
hilarious and shocking truth about Britain's criminal
justice system.

Ever wondered why you can't find a policeman when
you want one?

PC David Copperfield has the answer: they're all
inside the station, writing reports, photocopying,
stapling and filing (when they're not getting caught
up in the squabbles of Kaycee, Dwayne, her ex's ex,
his sister's boyfriend's mum and that slag who sent
them all a nasty message on Facebook).
Wasting Police Time is PC Copperfield's insider’s diary of life as a modern
British bobby.

It's the first book to spill the beans about the way senior police officers waste
our money while they fiddle the crime figures and scramble to meet bogus
Home Office targets.

Copperfield is drily sarcastic and biting about his bosses, the criminals he
deals with and the judges and politicians who have allowed our streets to
collapse into chaos while they live in fortified houses and are driven around
