Although public safety agencies protect our well-being, they also
shape social problems and community inequities. Public safety
protections promote what T.H. Marshall called "social rights" of
equitable citizenship. Frontlines of Welfare State shows how public
safety agencies function as welfare state agencies, responsible for
a range of essential public functions including emergency service,
criminal investigation, regulatory oversight and social service
outreach. Furthermore, this volume shows how public safety agencies
are being asked to absorb more social welfare functions amidst
cut-backs in other areas of the welfare state. Two areas of public
safety are examined: arson control and fire prevention, especially
within the contexts of urban change and gentrification, and
community policing, especially as a mechanism of expanding drug
treatment service and prevention programs. Facilitating a greater
understanding of institutional biases within the state built around
organizational structures, procedures and cultures and their impact
on social outcomes, this original and exciting book will be of
interest to researchers, practitioners and undergraduate and
postgraduate students in the fields of Policing and Fire Control,
Public Policy and Administration, Drugs and Substance Abuse and
White Collar Crime.
