Summary: "The book locates the issue of 'vulnerability' into an international context, within public sector reform processes, and goes beyond existing concepts of policing and vulnerability to include multi and intra-agency working. It uncovers many competing and contradictory conceptualisations of the phenomenon and shows how a variety of agencies in different jurisdictions prioritise and operationalise this escalating 21st Century social problem. This collection will appeal to academics, policy makers and practitioners in a wide variety of disciplines such as public management and leadership, criminology, policing, social policy, social work, and business management"-- Provided by publisher.
