This book locates the issue of 'vulnerability' in an international
context, within public-sector reform processes, and goes beyond the
conceptualization of 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. Two recurring themes of this edited
collection are the ways in which non-state organisations and
agencies have become an acknowledged feature of modern service
delivery, and how the withdrawal of the state has heralded a
perceptive shift from collective or community provision towards the
stigmatization of individuals. Increasingly, public service
professionals and 'street level bureaucrats' work in collaboration
with non-state agents to attempt to ameliorate vulnerability.
Chapter contributions were deliberately drawn from combinatory
empirical, theoretical, policy and practice fields, and diverse
academic and policy/professional authors. Editors and authors
deliberately cast their nets widely to provide integrative
scholarship, and contributions from international perspectives to
confirm the complexity; and how socio/cultural, political and
historic antecedents shape the definitions and responses to
vulnerability. 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, and any others with
an interest in or responsibility for dealing with the issue of
vulnerability.
