Application of Social Media in Crisis Management: Advanced Sciences and Technologies for Security Applications
暫譯: 社交媒體在危機管理中的應用：安全應用的先進科學與技術

本書探討社交媒體及其進步如何使公民在危機中賦權。書中針對危機管理的關鍵議題以及社交媒體作為新平台，協助公民和第一線應變人員應對各種危機，包括重大恐怖攻擊、大規模公共騷亂、跨境大規模人員流動及自然災害等進行討論。本書基於歐洲委員會 ATHENA 項目所獲得的結果和知識，該項目專注於當代危機管理、社交媒體及智慧型行動通訊中的關鍵問題。本書由來自學術界、緊急應變及政府政策和私營產業專家的全球貢獻者共同撰寫。本書探討並解釋在現代危機中，公眾如何自我組織成志願團體，迅速適應變化的環境，成為領導者和專家，並執行救生行動；同時他們越來越依賴新型通訊媒介來達成這些目標。

Waddington has been employed at SHU (which was previously known as Sheffield City Polytechnic) since 1983 - initially as a Postdoctoral Research Associate on an ESRC project investigating 'Communication processes within and around "flashpoints" of Public Disorder'. This focus on the policing of riots, disorderly demonstrations and picket-line confrontations was instrumental to the development of Waddington's 'Flashpoints Model of Public Disorder', which is frequently referred to in the European, North American and Antipodean policing literatures. Among his best-known publications are the seminal (with Chas Critcher and Karen Jones, Routledge, 1989); Contemporary Issues in Public Disorder (Routledge, 1992); Public Order Policing: Theoretical and Practical Approaches (Willan, 2007); Rioting in France and the UK: A Comparative Analysis (co-edited with Fabien Jobard and Mike King, Willan, 2009); and Riots - An International Comparison (with Matthew Moran, Palgrave Macmillan, 2016). Waddington is currently on the International Editorial Board of Mobilization: An international Social Movements Journal. From 2011-2013 he was External Evaluator of the EU-funded GODIAC project, which brought together 12 European partner countries in search of a distinctively more enlightened and permissive 'European approach' to protest policing.
