Zusatztext Policing the Waterfront traces the progress of an academic who has brought his considerable understanding of social capital and its concomitants to the real world of creating, nurturing and maintaining relationships among those responsible for the public security at the ports of Los Angeles and Melbourne. That trusting relationships are necessary to any partnership is self-evident. The value of this book lies in its demonstration of the conceptual framework from which concrete steps can be taken to build that trust. Informationen zum Autor Dr Russell Brewer is a Lecturer at Flinders University Law School, and an Associate Investigator in the Centre of Excellence in Policing and Security (CEPS). He holds a PhD in Law from the Australian National University, and is currently a Departmental Visitor at that institution. His research interests include policing, crime prevention, organised crime, and social networks and he has spent the past few years examining crime control strategies on American and Australian waterfronts - looking specifically at the successes (and failures) of public/private policing partnerships. Klappentext Presents a rich, and highly original, empirical account of crime control partnerships on the waterfront, exploring how such crime is controlled and enhancing the current theoretical understandings of the policing 'partnerships' that exist between state agencies and private actors, both in the United States and Australia.
