Police Services: Leadership and Management Perspectives

Springer Publications: New York. ISBN 978-3-319-18641-2

Abstract

This first volume in the series (police, ambulance and fire & rescue services) provides fresh insights and management understanding of the changing role of policing against the backdrop of massive cuts in public expenditure experienced and the changing landscape of policing. The challenges of funding, training, online-crimes and cultural transformation are now felt globally. The need to learn and adapt from suitable models of police service delivery have never been greater. The book offers critical insights into the theory and practice of strategic and operational management of police services and the related professional and policy aspects. One of the highlight of this volume is to bring together scholarship using experts- academics, practitioners and professionals in the field, to each of the chosen topics. The chapters are based in the practical experiences of the authors and are written in a way that is accessible and suitable for a range of audiences. The editors are confident that this book will cater to a wider audience to inform policy and practice, both in the UK and internationally.

Ambulance Services: Leadership and Management Perspectives

Springer Publications: New York. ISBN 978-3-319-18641-2

Abstract

This second volume in three book series (police, ambulance, fire & rescue services) provides fresh insights and management understanding of the changing role of the ambulance services against the backdrop of massive cuts in health budgets around the world and the changing context of pre-hospital care within the wider healthcare networks. The challenges of funding, training and cultural transformation are now felt globally. The need to learn and adapt from suitable models of ambulance service delivery have never been greater. The book offers critical insights into the theory and practice of strategic and operational management of ambulance services and the leadership needs for the service. One of the highlight of this volume is to bring together scholarship using experts- academics, practitioners and professionals in the field, to each of the chosen topics. The chapters are based in the practical experiences of the authors and are written in a way that is accessible and suitable for a range of audiences. The editors are confident that this book will cater to a wider audience to inform policy and practice, both in the UK and internationally.

Sociability, Social Capital, and Community Development: A Public Health Perspective

Springer Publications: New York. ISBN 9783319114835

Abstract

This book provides a critical understanding of contemporary issues within global society and how these relate to six case study examples (UK, USA, China, India, South Africa, Bangladesh, and Japan). The authors draw on their diverse experience to explore four major themes of contemporary relevance: overall aging of societies; governance and institutions; emergency services and public health provisions; and community activism and involvement. The key issues within the book–sociability, social capital, and community development–are examined in the context of an ever increasing aging world. The authors’ sense of optimism is linked to growing evidence that community activism is on the rise and can effectively plug the gap between public need and provision of service.

Critical Perspectives on the Management and Organization of Emergency Services

Routledge: Taylor and Francis Group ISBN Hb: 978-1-138-09765-0; ISBN eBook: 978-1-315-10444-7

Abstract

Critical Perspectives in Emergency Services Management offers the first wide ranging critical assessment of the theory and practice of management, work and organization in contemporary emergency services. It focuses on the issues and challenges they face as they become more complex as the need to collaborate across geographical and service boundaries increases. The challenges of funding, training and cultural transformation in these important but neglected organisations are now being felt globally. The need to learn and adapt from suitable models of service delivery has never been greater. Academics and practitioners need to better understand the growing role and contribution of these services as well as finding ways to manage them better so that policy solutions to new and emerging threats may be developed and implemented. This edited volume is intended to help close the theory-practice divide and provide both communities with a better understanding of each other’s’ perspectives.

‘Blue light Integration’: Interoperability and Collaboration between Emergency Services: Issues, Challenges and Opportunities

Published by Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract

This book is a timely review of the current blue light architecture and the integration drive of the UK government. It is our understanding that the ‘blue light integration’ project of the government is likely to succeed and facilitate greater degree of collaboration only if attendant issues surrounding differences in collaborative arrangements, organisational and professional cultures, leadership styles and trust and confidence issues are acknowledged and dealt with. The book aims to highlight some of the key issues and address some of these key themes in greater details. It is topical, timely and provides a critical academic scrutiny of the opportunities and challenges the emergency services face in the ‘new normal world’. It is aimed at the professionals, policy makes and academic scholars, having interest on the evolution of the domain of the emergency services in the UK in general and on integration of blue light services in particular.
