Conflict and Crisis Communication : principles and practice, c2011
Edited by : Ireland, Carol A.
Conflict and crisis communication is the management of a critical incident which has
the potential for resolution through successful negotiations. This can include
negotiating with individuals in crisis, such as those threatening self-harm or taking
individuals hostage as part of emotional expression, and also critical incidents such
as kidnapping and terrorist activities.
By focusing on the empirical and strong theoretical underpinnings of critical incident
management, and including clear demonstrations of the practical application of
conflict and crisis communication by experts in the field, this book proves to be a
practical, comprehensive and up-to-date resource. Discussion of relevant past
incidents – such as the 1993 WACO siege in the United States – is used to enhance
learning, whilst an examination of the application of critical incident management to
individuals with mental disorder offers groundbreaking insight from clinicians working
in this area.

Offenders on Offending : learning about crime from criminals, c2010
Edited by : Bernasco, Wim
Our knowledge of crime is based on three types of sources: the criminal justice
system, victims, and offenders. For technological and other reasons the criminal
justice system produces an increasing stream of information on crime. The rise of
the victimization survey has given the victims a much larger role in our study of
crime. There is, however, no concomitant development regarding offenders. This is
unfortunate because offenders are the experts when it comes to offending. In order
to understand criminal behavior, we need their perspective.
This is not always a straightforward process, however, and information from
offenders is often unreliable. This book is about what we can do to maximize the
validity of what offenders tell us about their offending. Renowned experts from
various countries present their experiences and insights, with a clear focus on
methodological issues of fieldwork among various types of offender populations.

Strategic Risk Management and Practice : how to deal effectively
with major corporate exposures, c2010
By : Andersen, Torben Juul
At a time when corporate scandals and major financial failures dominate newspaper
headlines, the importance of good risk management practices has never been more
obvious. The absence or mismanagement of such practices can have devastating effects
on exposed organizations and the wider economy (Barings Bank, Enron, Lehmann
Brothers, Northern Rock, to name but a few). Today's organizations and corporate
leaders must learn the lessons of such failures by developing practices to deal effectively
with risk. This book is an important step towards this end. Written from a European
perspective, it brings together ideas, concepts and practices developed in various risk
markets and academic fields to provide a much-needed overview of different approaches
to risk management. It critiques prevailing enterprise risk management frameworks
(ERMs) and proposes a suitable alternative. Combining academic rigour and practical
experience, this is an important resource for graduate students and professionals
concerned with strategic risk management.
