This book offers a new and insightful analysis of the effectiveness of the public sector reforms that have been put in place in the UK over the last twenty years. It represents a different type of approach, in that it looks at the effects of reform by examining the actual social organization of the groups the various policy measures have impacted. It moves away from the emphasis of general writing on the New Public Managerialism which, in terms of overall assessment, either assumes that the reforms will work, or that they are entirely inappropriate and will produce changes that are uniformly poor. This book seeks a more careful appraisal in which important effects are distinguished and examined.
This book explores the management of children's services in local
authorities across England and Wales. It examines residential
childcare from a management and organizational perspective for the
first time. The volume evaluates how social services manage
residential units and offers alternative solutions. The book will
interest academics, practitioners and policy makers who work in the
public sector, as well as their counterparts from outside who are
concerned with the issues of control, implementation, professionals
and markets.
The New Managerialism and Public Service Professionals is a fresh
and insightful analysis of the changes that have taken place in the
UK public sector over the past twenty years. Unlike many other
recent accounts it is not assumed that these policy goals were
always implemented or that new approaches to the management of
services are necessarily effective. Drawing on an extensive review
of major published research it considers developments in three
areas: the National Health Service, social services and housing.
This analysis reveals marked differences in the way the professions
responded to change and draws attention to some significant costs
associated with restructuring.

The time was December 7, 1941. The wife and young son of the U.S.S.
Arizona's chaplain, Captain Thomas L. Kirkpatrick, were listening
to the radio that Sunday afternoon, when suddenly they heard: We
interrupt this program to bring you a special news bulletin. The
Japanese have attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii by air, President
Roosevelt has just announced. The attack also was made on all Naval
and Military activities on the principal island, Oahu. The
following day, the President made his historic speech to Congress,
using language that would galvanize a shocked nation and propel
America into war. The same day, the telegram arrived that ended a
two-decade-long story about a love that endured numerous lengthy
separations while the chaplain was deployed either at sea or at a
remote duty station. How this military couple endured these
stresses yet kept their marriage alive and vibrant, forms the core
of this heartwarming and inspiring story, embedded in the sweep of
world-changing historical events.
