SynopsisThe book's chapters provide ideas and action plans for risk, crisis, and disaster management in a risk society, based on late-modern approaches such as technological citizenship; delegated authority; and exploitation of 'lay' knowledge. Written in accessible style, with technical terms defined and explained, this book offers genuinely blue-sky thinking that will be of interest to academics, students, and commentators. Primarily, though, it will be of value to practitioners in the emergency services, industry and commerce, and to planners and policy makers at national and local government level.In five parts dealing in turn with: Issues of civil safety and security; Management of socio-technical risks and hazards; Environmental risk; Social and economic impacts of ICT; and Risk perception, the book touches upon terrorism; public order; emergency responding; high risk technologies; energy supply; climate change; natural disasters; and employment-related issues, all within a social context that prioritises risk reduction. The editor concludes by considering the costs and benefits of the novel approaches suggested by his contributors., A history of both famous gangsters and lesser-known gonuvim' (Yiddish for 'thieves') who served time at one of America's most infamous prisons.', When author Ron Arons found out that two of his ancestors served time at Sing Sing, one of America's most infamous prisons, he faced a dilemma: should he tell people or try to keep the information a secret? Arons chose the former and the more he learnt, the more fascinated he became., When author Ron Arons found out that his ancestor served time at Sing Sing, one of America's most infamous prisons, he faced a dilemma: should he tell people or try to keep the information a secret? He chose the former - and the more he learned about his criminal great-grandfather, the more fascinated he became with what had led him to commit the crimes that eventually landed him in jail. Soon after, Arons decided to expand on the topic by exploring the lives of all Jews who served time in the famous prison, resulting in a fascinating history of New York crime.
