Disaster management is a vibrant and growing field, driven by
government spending in the wake of terrorist attacks and
environmental debacles, as well as private-sector hiring of risk
managers and emergency planners. An ever-increasing number of
practicing professionals needs a reference that can provide a solid
foundation in ALL major phases of supervision - mitigation,
preparedness, response, communications, and recovery. As climate
change leads to further costly catastrophes and as countries around
the world continue to struggle with terrorism, the demand for
solutions will only grow. This revised edition of Coppola's revered
resource meets said demand head-on with more focused, current,
thoughtfully analyzed, and effective approaches to disaster relief.
From Pandemic to Insurrection: Voting in the 2020 US Presidential
Election describes voting in the 2020 election, from the
presidential nomination to new voting laws post-election. Election
officials and voters navigated the challenging pandemic to hold the
highest turnout election since 1900. President Donald Trump's
refusal to acknowledge the pandemic's severity coupled with
frequent vote fraud accusations affected how states provided safe
voting, how voters cast ballots, how lawyers fought legal battles,
and ultimately led to an unsuccessful insurrection.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the mortality crisis which affected
Eastern Europe and the republics of the former USSR at the time of
the transition to a market economy was arguably the major peacetime
health crisis of recent decades. Chernobyl and the Mortality Crisis
in Eastern Europe and the Old USSR discusses the importance of that
crisis, surprisingly underplayed in the scientific literature, and
presents evidence suggesting a potential role of the Chernobyl
disaster among the causes contributing to it.
Building on the successful outcomes of a five-year initiative
undertaken in New York City, Alma Carten, Alan Siskind, and Mary
Pender Greene bring together a national roster of leading
practitioners, scholars, and advocates who draw upon extensive
practice experiences and original research. Together, they offer a
range of strategies with a high potential for creating the critical
mass for change that is essential to transforming the nation's
health and human services systems. Strategies for Deconstructing
Racism in the Health and Human Services closes the gap in the
literature examining the role of interpersonal bias, structural
racism, and institutional racism that diminish service access and
serve as the root cause for the persistence of disparate racial and
ethnic outcomes observed in the nation's health and human services
systems. The one-of-a-kind text is especially relevant today as
population trends are dramatically changing the nation's
demographic and cultural landscape, while funds for the health and
human services diminish and demands for culturally relevant
evidence-based interventions increase. The book is an invaluable
resource for service providers and educational institutions that
play a central role in the education and preparation of the health
and human service workforce.
The 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child has inspired
advocates and policy makers across the globe, injecting children's
rights terminology into various public and private arenas.
Children's right to participate in decision-making processes
affecting their lives is the acme of the Convention and its central
contribution to the children's rights discourse. At the same time
the participation right presents enormous challenges in its
implementation. Laws, regulations and mechanisms addressing
children's right to participate in decision-making processes
affecting their lives have been established in many jurisdictions
across the globe. Yet these worldwide developments have only rarely
been accompanied with empirical investigations. The effectiveness
of various policies in achieving meaningful participation for
children of different ages, cultures and circumstances have
remained largely unproven empirically. Therefore, with the growing
awareness of the importance of evidence-based policies, it becomes
clear that without empirical investigations on the implementation
of children's right to participation it is difficult to promote
their effective inclusion in decision making. This book provides a
much-needed, first broad portrayal of how child participation is
implemented in practice today. Bringing together 19 chapters
written by prominent authors from the United States, Canada, the
United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia and Israel, the
book includes descriptions of innovating programs that engage
children and youth in decision-making processes, as well as
insightful findings regarding what children, their families, and
professionals think about these programs. Beyond their contribution
to the empirical evidence on ways children engage in
decision-making processes, the book's chapters contribute to the
theoretical development of the meaning of "participation",
"citizenship", "inclusiveness", and "relational rights" in regards
to children and youth. There is no matching to the book's scope
both in terms of the diversity of jurisdictions that it covers as
well as the breadth of subjects. The book's chapters include
experiences of child participation in special education, child
protection, juvenile justice, restorative justice, family disputes,
research, and policy making.
