Synopsis
This book has two aims. First, to consider how risk, crisis and security, may be linked in an organisational context. Second, to review the role of, simulation and gaming in responding to these phenomena. Historically, risk has been an established concept of academic interest for some time in both the pure and social sciences. Risk however, remains a subject of intense social and political controversy. How we manage risk appears to dominate every debate from providing social services such as health, transport and public safety to the regulation of corporate activity. Debates about the theory and practice of security management are less developed. This book will inform the debate by considering the relationships between risk and security. * Includes case studies such as the Kings Cross underground disaster, September 11, Hong Kong race track fire, Arthur Anderson and London ambulance computer failure

Review
"...this book examines the links between risk, crisis and security management..." (Supply Management, 6th October 2005)
From the Back Cover
The risk and security industry has grown rapidly in recent years, largely as a consequence of increasing regulation and governance in many parts of the industrialized world. Risk, Crisis and Security Management not only considers how risk, crisis and security may be linked in an organizational context, but also reviews the role of simulation and gaming in responding to these phenomena.
Risk remains a subject of intense social and political controversy. How we manage risk appears to dominate every debate from providing social services such as health, transport and public safety to the regulation of corporate activity. Risk, Crisis and Security Management is vital reading for all students of any of these subjects hoping to make it in the real world, as well as being highly relevant for practising security professionals.
