What'S Wrong With Social Security Benefits?

by Paul Spicker

~~14,56€~~ 11,65€ 20% OFF

 <P>In this thought-provoking book, Paul Spicker challenges readers to rethink social security benefits in Britain. Putting a case for reform of the system, Spicker argues that most of the criticisms made of social security benefits - that spending is out of control, that it has led to mushrooming dependency, that it fails to get people into work, and that the system is riddled with fraud - are misconceived. </P><P>Addressing those misconceptions, Spicker assesses the real problems with the system, related to its size, its complexity, the expectation that benefits agencies should know everything, and the determination to ‘personalise’ benefits for millions of people. This stimulating short book is a valuable introduction to social security in Britain and the potential for its reform.</P><P>For more from the author on social security and social policy visit blog.spicker.uk.</P>

You Say You Want A Revolution - A Compelling & Cautionary Tale Of What Lies Ahead

by James F. Pastor

~~9,92€~~ 7,94€ 20% OFF

 In "You Say You Want a Revolution," security expert and former police officer James F. Pastor delivers an urgent warning about America's revolutionary climate. Drawing from decades of experience in law enforcement and security, Pastor identifies concerning patterns in today's ideological landscape - from defunding police movements to critical race theory - that he believes signal an imminent societal upheaval.Pastor methodically analyzes how progressive policies affect public safety, crime rates, and the stability of American institutions. Connecting ideological dots across race, religion, and politics, he argues that many current social justice initiatives actually undermine the safety and cohesion they claim to promote. With clarity and conviction, Pastor explains his "Public Safety Policing" model as a pragmatic response to growing disorder and potential extremism.More than just critique, this thought-provoking analysis offers a framework for understanding our fractured society and the competing visions for America's future. Pastor challenges readers to consider what truly matters - truth, love, family, country, and faith - while offering a passionate defense of traditional American values in the face of what he sees as revolutionary forces.A wake-up call for those concerned about America's direction, Pastor's message is clear: be careful what you ask for in the quest for transformation. If you enjoyed "American Marxism," "Live Not By Lies," and "The Madness of Crowds," you'll love "You Say You Want a Revolution."

State Water Agencies In Nigeria - A Performance Assessment

by Abel Bove, Alexander Danilenko, Berta Macheve, L. Joe Moffitt e Roohi Abdullah

~~24,51€~~ 19,61€ 20% OFF

 Investments on the order of US$6 billion are estimated to be needed in the water sector in Nigeria in the next 10 years if the country is to achieve universal water supply coverage. This is the main finding of State Water Agencies in Nigeria: A Performance Assessment, in which the objective is to provide the government of Nigeria with a structured and coherent quantitative snapshot of the state of its urban water sector. The report focuses on water provision services from the States' Water Authorities or Water Boards (SWAs) as they are the major and only regulated agencies that provide water to the urban population. Sanitation provision is not addressed because the majority of SWAs do not provide this service to their customers. This report highlights the issues related to the performance of SWAs, tariffs levels and structures, financing mechanisms, and concerns with governance within the SWA and state governments. For example, due to accelerated urbanization and migration of the population to the large cities, the average coverage by SWAs is about 40 percent, and the average domestic water consumption was 26 liters per capita per day in 2013, well below the recommended average. The remaining majority of the population relies on alternative service providers. To the extent possible, the report also shows the impact of these institutional weaknesses on customers' costs, fiscal subsidies to the sector, and financing requirements that are needed to scale up the investment and showcase that the related operational and maintenance expenditure of the SWAs can actually be covered from the various financing sources. In fact, the coping costs of the population getting water from alternative water providers is assessed at US$700 million a year, and this number is growing. In addition, utilities get about US$100 million in operational subsidies that cover labor, electricity, and other operational costs. State Water Agencies in Nigeria: A Performance Assessment provides the government of Nigeria with a structured and coherent quantitative snapshot of the state of its urban water sector. Ultimately, this report is a first step toward performance benchmarking in Nigeria's water and sanitation sector. The findings summarized in this publication should eventually serve as a tool for utilities and their authorities and stakeholders, as well as for bilateral and multilateral donors in their efforts to monitor the performance and progress of each water provider and the sector as a whole.

 Indigenous communities are typically those that challenge the laws of the nation states of which they have becomea "often very reluctantlya "a part. Around the world, community policing has emerged in many of these regions as a product of their physical environments and cultures. Through a series of case studies, Community Policing in Indigenous Communities explores how these often deeply divided societies operate under the community policing paradigm.Drawing on the local expertise of policing practitioners and researchers across the globe, the book explores several themes with regard to each region: How community policing originated or evolved in the community and how it has changed over time The type of policing style useda "whether informal or formal and uniformed or non-uniformed, whether partnerships are developed with local community organizations or businesses, and the extent of covert operations, if any The role played by community policing in the region, including the relative emphasis of calls for service, the extent to which advice and help is offered to citizens, whether local records are kept of citizen movement and locations, and investigation and arrest procedures The communitys special cultural or indigenous attributes that set it apart from other models of community policing Organizational attributes, including status in the hierarchy of control within the regional or national organization of policing The positive and negative features of community policing as it is practiced in the community Its effectiveness in reducing and or preventing crime and disorder The book demonstrates that community policing cannot be imposed from above without grassroots input from local citizens. It is a strategya "not simply for policing with consenta "but for policing in contexts where there is often little, if any, consent. It is an aspirational practice aimed to help police and communities within contested contexts to recognize that positive gains can be made, enabling communities to live in relative safety.
