Editorial objectives and criteria
International Journal of Emergency Services (IJES) provides a platform for the development of scholarship in the management of all emergency services, both universal services such as Fire and Rescue, Police, and Ambulance services, and more specialized services such as the Coastguard, Air-Sea or Mountain Rescue. IJES publishes up-todate and original research contributions for the benefit of scholars, policy makers and practitioners, including those operating in local, regional and central government and across international boundaries. The central theme is the continuing need to improve both efficiency and effectiveness in an era of scarce resources and rising public expectations of improved service delivery and risk reduction. IJES is interested in the functioning of the emergency services, in the planning, prevention and recovery stages of emergencies and disasters, and in responses and reactions to emergencies.
In view of the nature of emergency services, IJES encourages contributions from the social sciences, particularly psychology, economists, sociologists, youth studies, criminologists, public health and political scientists; as well as from scholars interested in the management of these services. The Editors adopt a very broad view of what constitutes ‘‘management’’ and welcome articles dealing with the theory and practice of strategic and operational management of emergency services and the related professional and policy aspects. Articles drawing comparisons between two or more jurisdictions and those offering theoretical, cross-jurisdictional perspectives will be particularly welcome.
