The governance of contemporary police organisations requires leaders and managers, even at the local level, to work in and understand complex social, political and organisational environments.

Operational policing is no longer the militaristic singular activity it once was, but embraces new models of 'partnership' and 'community' to manage crime and dis...
The Wolf Princess and Her Sister
The Wolf Princess and her Sister are twins that were born under two very differant stars, one dark, one bright. When an enemy discovers this, he plans to use them in his conquest of the land, for a person born under a dark star must certainly have an evil destiny.

But their enemy has sent out his men to recapture them, and will stop at nothing to make them his prisoners again. As they travel, the Wolf Princess can't help but wonder, do the stars truly effect your destiny? If so, can one change their destiny?

A History of Abortion and Contraception in Queensland, Australia, 1960–1989
This book looks at the recent history of sex, contraception, and abortion in Australia’s most conservative state, Queensland. In western nations, there has largely been a consistent increase in available contraception and access to abortion from the 1960s onwards, yet there are a few geographical exceptions that resisted this trend, including Queensland. Cassandra Byrnes highlights the multifarious ways sexuality and reproduction were continually constructed and challenged during the second half of the twentieth century and follows the responses of key groups to changing laws and attitudes in a time of local and global sexual and social revolutions. She explores interactions between identities of gender, sexuality, class, age, marital status, and geography to illustrate how specific sexed bodies became liminal sites for legal and medical debate. This Queensland case study is contextualised within international debates concerning women’s reproductive rights and will be of interest to students and scholars interested in the history of reproductive rights, gender, and sexuality.
