Recovering Police Legitimacy: A Radical Framework

Transatlantic policing is experiencing an unprecedented crisis of legitimacy, epitomised by public responses to the murders of George Floyd and Sarah Everard during the COVID-19 pandemic. Legitimacy is lost when the police either fail to protect the public or rely on coercion rather than consent to achieve that protection. Recovering Police Legitimacy challenges conventional criminological, political, and public solutions to the problem by approaching it from the bottom up, beginning with policing as a practice constituted by a unique set of excellences, skills, and characteristics.The author draws on his experience as a police officer and on the serial fictions of James Ellroy, David Peace, and Nic Pizzolatto to characterise the practice in terms of heroic struggle, edgework, absolute sacrifice, and worldmaking. These characteristics provide an analytic tool for revolutionising our understanding of the relations among policing as a situated practice, public protection, and police legitimacy and for identifying the different levels at which legitimacy is undermined. His conclusion is that recovery is possible but will be slow in pace and incomplete in scope.Written accessibly for students, police officers, policymakers, scholars, and anyone with an interest in police legitimacy, this is a groundbreaking study of a pressing social problem.

Recruit or Die

A guerrilla guide to getting the best college graduates to work for you--without spending like Microsoft, McKinsey, and Goldman Sachs Recruit or Die is the first practical guide to the entry-level recruiting game--which is very different from other kinds of recruiting and vitally important to every company, large or small. Traditionally, only large and powerful companies recruit on college campuses, scooping up the best and brightest. But small and young companies can also get top graduates--without a Wall Street budget--if they learn the secrets of America's top recruiters. The key is understanding today's college students: They aren't just looking for money and perks. More important, they are looking for opportunities to stand out, move around quickly, and rack up cool experiences and achievements. Any employer can compete with the big companies on these intangibles. The authors share dozens of anecdotes and research on more than one thousand students that show how successful recruiters work their magic--and how unsuccessful recruiters blow it. They offer practical strategies and advice in each chapter, along with case studies. Based on their experience working with hot recruits and the elite companies that pursue them, the authors show how any company can conquer the campus.

Recruiting Revolution: Neue Talent-Management-Strategien zur Gewinnung der besten Talente auf dem umk&auml;mpften Arbeitsmarkt

Das Buch von Nilgün Aygen stellt einen innovativen Ansatz, eine zukunftsweisende Weltanschauung dar, die den Rekrutierungsprozess des Unternehmens auf neue Beine stellt. Nach der Devise "Die Wege von heute führen nicht ins Morgen" verlangt es ein verändertes Mindset vom Top- und HR-Management der Unternehmen. So wie es aktuell praktiziert wird, tritt das Unternehmen primär als Einkäufer von Arbeitskraft und Arbeitskräften auf. Zwar präsentiert es sich als attraktiv für Bewerber, doch die Maà nahmen und Werkzeuge sind passiv orientiert. Auf diese Weise vorzugehen, um die besten Talente zu gewinnen ist reaktiv statt proaktiv und rein operational statt strategisch. Um in Zukunft jedoch die besten Talente gewinnen zu können und bei Bedarf umgehend verfügbar zu haben, müssen die Unternehmen sich als Arbeitgeber aktiv verkaufen. In der Unternehmensstrategie gehören die HR-Leitungen mit an den Vorstandstisch. Eine weitere, ebenso bedeutsame Botschaft des Buchs lautet, dass viele Organisationen ihre aktuellen Talente vergeuden, weil sie bei akutem Bedarf reflexhaft nach externen Möglichkeiten zur Stellenbesetzung suchen. Sie verschwenden Talent - nicht aus bewusster Geringschätzung ihrer existierenden Mitarbeiter, sondern aus der Ahnungslosigkeit heraus, welches Potenzial intern vorhanden ist. Das Buch fordert aber nicht nur das nötige Umdenken und neue Handeln ein, sondern beschreibt von der ersten Recherche über die Einstellung bis zur vollständigen Integration des neuen Mitarbeitenden alles, was Unternehmen heute und künftig tun müssen, um im Arbeitsmarkt der Zukunft den gröà ten Schatz zu finden und zu gewinnen: die wertvollen Menschen, mit denen sie ihre Visionen und Ziele erreichen können. Die vielfältigen Beispiele und Case Studies weisen den wirtschaftlichen Erfolg einer neuen Art des People Managements nach und zeigen, wie sehr es Menschen dabei unterstützt, ein erfülltes Arbeitsleben zu haben.

Recruiting and Retaining Party Activists: Political Management at the Grassroots (Palgrave Studies in Political Marketing and Management)

This book explores how experienced party organisers in the UK work to recruit and to retain party activists for local campaigning. Local door-to-door campaigning is widely regarded as being a key element in a successful election campaign. However, for door-to-door campaigning to work, a large number of volunteer activists are required. The question then is: How can parties identify, recruit and retain such volunteer activists? Based on interviews with highly experienced campaigners, original party documents, the wider campaigning and volunteering literature, numerous informal conversations and the author’s own experience of local campaigning over a 20 year period, this book provides an answer to that question. It shows how potential activists are identified, encouraged to become active and supported through their initial encounter with local campaigning. The author also shows how local parties can encourage activists to remain active by creating a ‘retention enhancing campaigning environment’ and what that involves.
