The book examines contemporary immigration policy and immigrant
assimilation with a focus on the adoption of sanctuary ordinances
in US local governments in connection with Latino in-migration. It
also investigates the adoption of anti-immigrant settlement local
ordinances in many local governments with particular focus on local
law enforcement positions taken on enforcement of federal
immigration laws. The book investigates a wide range of
county-level characteristics of 3,000+ U.S. counties (e.g.,
socio-economic and demographic traits, political culture, social
capital, religious denominations present, etc.) to identify
correlates of pro- and anti-immigrant settlement. The book also
features the analysis of a national survey and three targeted
surveys in pro-immigration (San Francisco), divided (Maricopa), and
anti-immigration (Tulsa) counties to explore the individual-level
factors associated with sentiments on immigration policy. Finally,
the book presents findings from two case studies where active
encouragement of Latino settlement (Twin Falls, ID) and active
opposition (Hazleton, PA) characterize local reaction to Latino
in-migration. The mixed methods study leads the authors to conclude
that a funnel of causality concept, path dependency, pro-social
attitudes, and the concepts of moral panic and moral dialogue
collectively lead to great insight into the question of why some
communities are open and accepting while others are exclusionary.

Sound HRM practices matter-they are a sine qua non of effective
governance in democratic government-equally so at the local,
regional, state and national levels of government. The NASPAA
(Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration)
accreditation standards demand critical competencies for public
managers that are vital to human resource managers and supervisors
at all levels. These competencies include: skills to lead and
manage in public governance; to participate in and contribute to
the policy process; to analyze, synthesize, think critically, solve
problems and make decisions; to articulate and apply a public
service perspective; and to communicate and interact productively
with a diverse and changing workforce and citizenry. This second
edition of Human Resource Management is designed specifically with
these competencies in mind to: Introduce and explore the
fundamental purposes of human resource management in the public
service and consider the techniques used to accomplish these
purposes Provide exercises to give students practice for their
skills after being introduced to the theory, foundation, and
practices of public and nonprofit sector HRM Facilitate instruction
of the material by introducing important topics and issues with
readings drawn from the professional literature Provide information
and examples demonstrating the interrelatedness of many of the
topics in public sector HRM and the trends shaping public and
nonprofit management, especially diversity, ethics, and technology.
Demonstrate and describe differences among HRM practices in public,
for-profit and nonprofit organizations, and between the levels of
government. Human Resource Management is organized to provide a
thorough discussion of the subject matter with extensive references
to relevant literature and useful teaching tools. Thus, students
will consider the issues, purposes, and techniques of HRM and
conceptualize how varied their roles are, or will be, whether a
personnel specialist in a centralized system or a supervisor
managing in one of the increasingly common decentralized systems.
Each chapter includes a thorough review of the principles and
practices of HRM (including the why and the how), selected
readings, important themes, diverse examples, key terms, study
questions, applied exercises, case studies, and examples of forms
and processes would-be managers will encounter in their roles.
This book grows out of the authors' conviction that as public
policy issues become suffused with scientific and technical
content, they become difficult for the democratic citizens to
understand. It attempts to determine mass public capacity and their
motivation to respond to the challenges.

Hu and Lovrich introduce the "electronic community-oriented
policing (E-COP)," concept to explore how social media can impact
police strategies on improving and maintaining police-public
relation. Using empirical evidence and theoretical foundations,
this book demonstrates the importance of this timely refinement to
traditional community-oriented policing strategies as we move
further into the twentieth century. E-COP represents a systematic
approach to policing that applies knowledge derived from theories
of individual behavior, social behavior, and mass communication
dynamics to contemporary policing practice. This book would be of
interest to policing researchers, scholars, and students as well as
police practitioners wishing to improve their use of social media
resources to connect to the public they serve in the digital age.
