Critical perspectives on the management and organization of emergency services

The authors analyse the challenges of delivering emergency services within this context.

The book provides an in-depth, scholarly and comprehensive analysis of the changing landscape of emergency service provision.

For anyone seeking to understand why and how the management of emergency services matters, this collection is essential reading.
