An essential handbook of policing leadership behavioural skills for
both professional police officers and policing students aspiring to
join the force. The behaviours examined are of relevance to all
ranks and roles, from a newly appointed police constable to an
executive officer. Behavioural soft skills are essential to
effective policing practice and professional development, and are
particularly significant in leadership and management roles. This
handbook examines the key leadership behaviours and focuses on
discreet aspects within policing as well as describing a career
timeline. In addition it provides a unique opportunity for leaders
to articulate the effects the Covid-19 pandemic has had on law
enforcement, examining the impact on policing behaviours and what
the blockages are. Each chapter is written by a well-established
serving police leader or policing scholar, bringing together a
wealth of experience and understanding and applying this knowledge
in context through key case studies and examples. It bridges the
gap between theory and practice so readers can apply what they have
learnt to their policing roles and effectively formulate and
describe their own leadership philosophy and style. This is a
companion book to Behavioural Skills for Effective
Policing.             Â
Behavioural skills are essential to effective policing practice and
professional development, and are also embedded within the policing
competency frameworks. As the police service looks to further
redefine its role in the twenty-first century, this critical
handbook covers the full range of these proficiencies, from
building rapport, applying emotional intelligence, building empathy
and resilience to diversity and difference, understanding ethics,
and developing coaching and leadership skills. Each chapter is
written by a distinguished serving or former senior police leader
and/or policing scholar, bringing together a wealth of experience
and understanding and applying this knowledge in context through
key case studies and examples. Suitable for serving police officers
at all levels, as well as policing lecturers and students aspiring
to join the police, this book encourages and enables a
people-centred approach to policing that balances the debate that
has given disproportionate credence to transactional skills at the
expense of a more transformational approach.

This book offers a unique and scholarly perspective on a
little-studied subject: maritime crime and policing. The seas and
oceans cover 70 percent of the earth’s surface and 90 percent of
world trade by volume travels by sea. Furthermore, the refugee
crisis has produced an inflow of people attempting to find a better
life, particularly in Northwest Europe and the UK, which has had an
impact on the maritime domains of European ports. While there has
been attention paid to the role of maritime policing by scholars in
maritime security studies, little attention has been paid by
criminologists and policing studies scholars. This book aims to
fill this gap. Bringing together a range of international scholars,
this book covers a variety of topics pertinent to maritime crime
and its policing, such as fraud, piracy and armed robbery at sea,
illegal and unregulated fishing, smuggling, people trafficking,
illegal immigration, illegal dumping and pollution, arms
trafficking, terrorism, and cargo theft. It brings together new
perspectives on several key criminological themes such as
transnational organised crime, criminalisation, and securitisation
and provides a bold new direction for the landlocked discipline of
criminology and policing studies. An accessible and compelling
read, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of
criminology, policing, sociology, politics, migration studies, and
all those interested in the policing of the sea.

This study examines the spread of socialism in late-Victorian and
Edwardian Wales, paying particular attention to the relationship
between socialism and Welsh national identity. Welsh opponents of
socialism often claimed it to be a foreign import, whereas
socialists often asserted that the Welsh were socialist by nature.
This study - the first full-scale study of the influence of early
socialism across all of Wales - demonstrates that the reality was
more complex than either assertion would admit. Rather than
focusing on the structural growth of socialism, the topic is
discussed in terms of the spread of ideas and the development of a
political culture. The study culminates in a discussion of
attempts, in the period before the Great War, to create a
specifically Welsh socialist tradition. In approaching the topic
from this angle, this study restores a part of the lost diversity
of British socialism that is of striking contemporary relevance.

From the top experts on healthcare workforce engagement comes a
vital road map to reduce the alarmingly high-and fast-growing-rate
of staff burnout and to transform care. More than half of U.S.
physicians and 40 percent of nurses experience one or more symptoms
of burnout. This crisis poses a serious threat to our health
systems, impacting not only the well-being of the caregiving
workforce but also that of their patients. Written by a team of
thought leaders with deep expertise in healthcare workforce
engagement and cultural development, The Engaged Caregiver shows
leaders, managers, and front-line providers how to: *Recognize the
early signs of burnout and turn it around *Address staff more
effectively to keep them engaged *Build strong, reliable teams with
a real sense of purpose *Map their organization's core values and
get everyone on board *Create a positive culture that's cohesive,
inclusive, and resilient *Develop highly effective leadership and
organizational systems *Hire, engage, and manage talent
strategically-and successfully *Promote diversity, equity, and
inclusion in the workplace *Leverage data to drive improvements
throughout the organization In this wide-ranging guide, healthcare
professionals will learn how to identify, diagnose, address, and
overcome caregiver burnout on a personal level, as well as measure,
develop, and implement strategies that improve the entire workplace
culture. The Engaged Caregiver provides an actionable plan for
creating a resilient work culture that empowers caregivers and
gives them the support they need to fulfill the patient promise
with every care experience, every day.
This book argues for the integrity of the Pauline Corpus as a
complex, composite text. Martin Wright critiques the prevailing
tendency to divide the Corpus in two, separating the undoubtedly
authentic letters from those of disputed authorship. Instead, he
advocates for a renewed canonical hermeneutic in which the Corpus
as a whole communicates Paul's legacy, and the authorship of
individual letters is less important, stressing that that current
preoccupations with authorship have a distorting effect on
exegesis, and need to be reconsidered. Wright uses Ephesians as a
focal text to illustrate the exegetical potential of this approach.
He critically investigates the history of the prevailing
hermeneutics of pseudonymity, with particular attention to the
theological and confessional partiality with which it is often
inflected. And constructively, he proposes a new hermeneutical
model in which the Pauline Corpus is read as a continuous
interpretative dialogue, leaving the question of authorship to one
side. In two substantial exegetical studies, Wright offers new
readings of passages from Ephesians and other Pauline letters,
amplifying the proposed approach and illustrating its value.
SHORT FICTION: In this fascinating book, Martin Wright has created
four beautiful short stories. The originality, simplicity and yet,
depth of the stories are remarkable. The reader is thrown into a
world in which a festival, a library and a garden of beautiful
flowers are one. Funny, pleasant, thought provoking all these
stories are. May the reader be the judge. In the "THE MAN WHO ATE
MY SHOES," we are introduced to a tough guy named Frank, who
forcefully takes two loaves of bread away from his neighbour Eddie.
But these are not your average breads. On the plastic container of
each, it is written: Sun and Happiness Over Everyone-SHOE Frank,
thus, becomes the shoe thief and the shoe eater Consequently, he
develops bad dreams. In the dreams, a bunch of horses run after him
and throw him on the ground, and then one of the horses takes
Frank's shoes off his feet. He experiences pain when that happens.
The bad dreams continue, affecting his mood and health until he
ends up in therapy. The therapy sessions are hilarious. In the
UVANTAS FAVOURITE, the world of a very different group of people
has come together in a "Time Train." Among them, there is Newface
who is a political science professor. He specializes in conducting
coup d'etat in different countries Will he take advantage of the
traveling back in time adventure to do the same in some place in
history? Johnny Sosa is a mafia boss-turned writer. His book "A
History of Madness, ' may have affected his own mind. And John, a
unique man, is always after Uvantas Favourites: exquisite forms of
beauty. He has found one in Nina. Nina is a beautiful woman with a
sublimely beautiful voice. She is in love with John, but he is only
after her voice, wanting to record it. Will she let him? Harry,
Jack, and others have their own uniqueness. In "THE CONVERSATIONS
WITH YOU," very unusual and thought-provoking discussions take
place between two men. In the second part of this story, we witness
a group of individuals-including one of the two men-running for the
President in the USA. Parties like Vegetable Party, Anti-sausage,
and Counter-fear Parties are among the contestants Who shall win?
And finally in the "IMAGINATION," a desperate man is rescued from

entity, a small shaped fellow, who talks
