In this trailblazing study, Laura Huey illustrates the issue of a ‘security gap’ faced by increasing homeless populations: while they are among the most likely victims of crime, they are also among the least served by existing forms of state and private security.   Invisible Victims presents the first comprehensive, integrated study of the risks faced by homeless people and their attempts to find safety and security in often dangerous environments.  Huey draws not only on current debates on security within criminology, but also on a decade’s worth of her own field research on the victimization and policing of the homeless. A theoretically and empirically informed examination of the myriad issues affecting the homeless, Invisible Victims makes a compelling case for society to provide necessary services and, above all, a basic level of security for this population.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49730345500945,"sku":"NGR9781442643284","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1442643285.jpg?v=1750858343"},{"product_id":"negotiating-demands-book-laura-huey-9780802094827","title":"Negotiating Demands","description":"The relationship between policing and the governance of society is an important and complex one, especially as it relates to destitute areas. Through a comparative analysis of policing in skid row districts in three cities – Edinburgh, San Francisco, and Vancouver – Negotiating Demands offers an inside look at the influence of local political, moral, and economic issues on police practices within marginalized communities.   Through an analysis of various theoretical approaches and ethnographic field data, Laura Huey unveils a portrait of skid row policing as a political process. Police are regularly called upon to negotiate often-conflicting sets of demands, especially within the context of disadvantaged or troubled neighbourhoods. Examining a broad spectrum of police procedures and community responses, Huey offers a reconceptualization of the police as political actors who 'negotiate demands' of different constituencies. How the police meet these demands – through incident- and context-specific uses of law enforcement, peacekeeping, social work, and knowledge work – are shown to be a product of the civic environment in which they operate and of the 'moral-economic' forces that shape public discourse.   Negotiating Demands is an original and thought-provoking study that not only advances our knowledge of police organization and decision-making strategies but also refines our understanding of how processes of social inclusion and exclusion occur in different liberal regimes and how they can be addressed.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50360543281425,"sku":"CIN0802094821G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0802094821.jpg?v=1763473507"},{"product_id":"wicked-problems-of-police-reform-in-canada-book-laura-huey-9781032281858","title":"The Wicked Problems of Police Reform in Canada","description":"This book looks at police reform in Canada, arguing that no significant and sustainable reform can occur until steps are taken to answer the question of 'What exactly do we want police to do?' Adding challenge to this is that setting boundaries on what we expect the police to do requires grappling with the complex social problems we ask them to resolve. In public policy language, these are ‘wicked problems’ – social or cultural issues frequently seen as intractable.   Authors Huey, Ferguson, and Schulenberg, all policing scholars, draw on a unique collection of data to explore these issues: over 20 years of research (2000– 2021) ranging from in-depth interviews, surveys, and field observations to document analysis and systematic social observation. Pooling this data generates a national-level picture of changes in the policing operational environment over these decades. This book focuses on four particular wicked problems (mental health, substance misuse, homelessness, missing persons) with causes and potential preventative treatments that lie primarily outside the criminal justice system and yet continue to be treated as 'policing problems.' Bringing about changes in public policing requires changes in public policy, and these are precisely the types of wicked problems that need innovative policy solutions.   This book is suitable for a wide range of audiences within and outside Canada, including law enforcement and community leaders; scholars and policy experts who specialize in policing; students of criminal justice, organizations, and management; and citizen-consumers of information about policing.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50698294460689,"sku":"NGR9781032281858","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51017629597969,"sku":"NIN9781032281858","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52432518283537,"sku":"NLS9781032281858","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032281855.jpg?v=1750751295"},{"product_id":"becoming-strong-book-laura-huey-9781442626850","title":"Becoming Strong","description":"Drawing on more than 150 in-depth interviews, Becoming Strong: Impoverished Women and the Struggle to Overcome Violence explores the diverse effects of trauma in the lives of homeless female victims of violence.   Laura Huey and Ryan Broll closely examine the negative patterns common to cases of homeless female victims of violence and develop informed solutions for responding to issues that perpetuate cycles of female homelessness. Becoming Strong offers not only a comprehensive examination of trauma and the role it can play in shaping homeless women’s lives, but it also explores how women may recover and develop strategies for coping with traumatic experiences.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51026436030737,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51026437964049,"sku":"NIN9781442626850","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52150549610769,"sku":"NLS9781442626850","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1442626852.jpg?v=1763474796"},{"product_id":"policing-mental-health-book-laura-huey-9783030943127","title":"Policing Mental Health","description":"This brief addresses the question of the various ways in which mental health-related issues have become police responsibility.  It provides a detailed understanding of the myriad of ways in which police are often called upon to be the primary responder to mental health-related issues, well beyond the standard media images of individuals in extreme crisis.    Drawing upon the results of two separate ethnographies of police practices in Canada, this volume examines how public policing has become entangled in cases of persons with mental illness (PMI). It examines two aspects of the police role and mandate that brings police officers into contact with individuals dealing with mental health disorders: public safety, and crime prevention and response. It explores police perceptions towards the roles they play in the lives of PMI, and police demands in these types of calls for service that have transformed aspects of public policing.    Appropriate for policing researchers, law enforcement and public policymakers, this book presents the argument that tackling this matter requires knowledge of police involvement in situations with PMI, as well as a set of evidence-based policy options that will not generate additional resource or other strains.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51060281114897,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51060286816529,"sku":"NIN9783030943127","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52151608770833,"sku":"NLS9783030943127","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3030943127.jpg?v=1750999143"},{"product_id":"wicked-problems-of-police-reform-in-canada-book-laura-huey-9781032283500","title":"The Wicked Problems of Police Reform in Canada","description":"This book looks at police reform in Canada, arguing that no significant and sustainable reform can occur until until steps are taken to answer the question of What exactly do we want police to do?","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52431526625553,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52431527411985,"sku":"NLS9781032283500","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781032283500.jpg?v=1759172776"},{"product_id":"invisible-victims-book-laura-huey-9781442611764","title":"Invisible Victims","description":"Invisible Victims presents the first comprehensive, integrated study of the risks faced by homeless people and their attempts to find safety and security in often dangerous environments.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52583984922897,"sku":"NLS9781442611764","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781442611764.jpg?v=1761048663"},{"product_id":"managing-major-critical-and-public-order-incidents-in-canadian-policing-book-laura-huey-9783031857089","title":"Managing Major, Critical, and Public Order Incidents in Canadian Policing","description":"This brief examines Canadian police incident command response teams’ process of decision-making during major, critical, and public order events. It explores the different factors that influence how police Incident Commanders (ICs) approach their work, and demystifies this work and how it is organized and operationalized.   The chapters in this book detail:   • The basics of how incident command is structured in Canada.   • How incident command models in Canada relate to those in other countries.   • Overviews of the training and responsibilities for different incident command types.   • First-hand accounts of how ICs approach their work and feel about the decisions they have to make.   This book is ideal for practitioners and policymakers who are interested in how this mode of policing works. It is also suitable for policing students in upper-level criminology and criminal justice courses curious about this potential line of work.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52665330630929,"sku":"NLS9783031857089","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52761031180561,"sku":"NIN9783031857089","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783031857089.jpg?v=1762277017"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-laura-huey.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
