In confronting risk, individuals and all agencies cannot simply
respond with endless resources in mitigating the damage that
hazards engender-they have to establish a balance. Risk Balance and
Security combines the conceptual underpinnings of risk assessment
and management at both the individual and agency level with a clear
analysis of how these relate to challenges faced in responding to
crime, terrorism, public health threats, and environmental
disasters. With a new understanding of how decisions are made about
threats and hazards, and how this understanding may be applied in
our preparedness, prevention, and response strategies, we will be
able to better conceptualize our task for enhancing security in the
future. Key Features Links theoretical ideas with real world
examples: Clear discussions are presented of how risk is
constructed in modern society and why that is important in our
efforts to develop strategies to enhance security. Provides an
interdisciplinary treatment of risk: To capture the realities
facing public security today, ideas are drawn from a number of
different disciplines. Illustrates real applications of solutions
to security problems: Students are shown how agencies are dealing
with specific threats to security. Compares individual-level and
institutional-level assessments of risk and security: These
divergences enable readers to appreciate the complexities of
establishing security. Intended Audience This is an excellent text
for undergraduate and graduate courses such as Disaster Research,
Security, Police Studies, Emergency Planning, and Crime and Public
Policy in the departments of criminology, criminal justice,
political science, and public health.
