Keeping the Peace Volume IV
Keeping the Peace Volume IV, like its predecessors, shows how fortunate we are — in Queensland as in other Australian states — to have a non-political, non-military system of law enforcement, with highly trained officers ready to serve the community and impartially enforce the laws made by our representatives in parliament. With this in mind, it’s very easy to lose sight of the fact that every day police officers put their own lives on the line to ensure public safety. Keeping the Peace is really their story, in their own words. Laurie Pointing, the editor and compiler of this volume, started his working life as a station hand on a western cattle property before joining the Queensland Police Service in December, 1958 and rising to the rank of Assistant Commissioner. Following a police career spanning almost 35 years, and with several successful books already to his credit, Laurie has now used his wealth of experience to wield an editorial pen and bring together this collection of personal stories from Queensland Police Officers.
Heritage and Wellbeing
Heritage and Wellbeing examines what role heritage can play in creating healthier societies, exploring how heritage can improve people's wellbeing through a range of international case studies. These studies include Bangalore Fort, Imperial War Museum, Duxford, Biltmore Estate, and Chatsworth House. It presents significant new research in the field of wellbeing studies and public heritage, key chapters that evaluate museums, heritage sites, and archaeology providing evidence how these different activities pro-actively and positively influence wellbeing. Faye Sayer provides evidence of how visiting and engaging with heritage places could provide the key to healthier and happier societies, arguing the benefits of heritage should be regarded as a key player in improving wellbeing and mental health and reducing wellbeing inequality.

It explores the politics and practices of working towards a future where the planet thrives.
Enhancing Police Service Delivery
Contemporary police service delivery and performance are complex phenomena. Law enforcement, particularly at the local level, must therefore face the additional challenges of globalization, cybercrime, counter-terrorism and calls for reform, at a time when extreme budgetary constraints are being implemented. Policing operations encompass multiple critical tasks and responsibilities not routinely measured and evaluated, such as response to incidents involving medical assistance, homelessness, mental illness, community engagement, and neighborhood problem-solving endeavors. This volume aims to provide government, criminal justice and policing administrators, policy makers and criminal justice ...

Five Points
EAST MEETS WEST Clint Adams is on the trail of a couple of con artists who bilked a Denver widow out of her wealth—and left her dead. Their trail leads to New York City, where things are supposed to be more "civilized" than on the frontier—and the police don't take too kindly to the presence of a famous gunfighter. But Clint's not looking for trouble, just justice, a search that takes him into the notorious Five Points neighborhood, where thievery is a way of life. And when he learns that the con artists aren't responsible for the widow's death, the Gunsmith prepares for a showdown with a remorseless killer...
European Journal of Policing Studies
Contents: Introduction Antoinette Verhage, Lieselot Bisschop and Wim Hardyns br> Articles How to Police a Porous Fortress? Monica den Boer (1) Abstract The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the way in which the European Union has gradually but steadily built a security architecture based on the control of mobility and borders. Different logics of policing are interwoven in several projects, which are strongly interdependent with technological innovation. Furthermore, the European policing of mobility is primarily performed by mounting surveillance – both inside and beyond European borders – by means of which all forms of movement (transactions, travelling, etc.) are su...
Confronting Fragmentation
The fragmentation of South Africa's cities persists despite the ending of apartheid. New forms of segregation are emerging in the context of globalisation and a largely neo-liberal policy environment. This poses an enormous challenge for policy-making, planning, and community activism. Although there has been an improvement in service infrastructure in certain parts of South African cities since 1994, the major structural changes required to alter the trajectory of urban change have not yet happened. This book provides a provocative, careful, analytical perspective on the problems of fragmentation, with particular reference to the provision of urban shelter. The cross-national nature of the author team reflects the fact that many of the issues facing South African cities are being experienced globally. This is a fascinating book. The text is both theoretical and practical. It will be of great value to policy-makers, planners, community leaders, and students in the field of development and the built environment.
