Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction
Communities are at the core of disaster risk reduction (DRR), and community based approaches are getting increasing focus in national DRR plans.In the case of past disasters, communities were always the first responders, and took leading roles in the post disaster recovery.The roles of communities in pre-disaster preparedness are also very important.This is the first comprehensive book available on CBDRR (community based disaster risk reduction) which outlines both research and practice, citing field examples and research results.It provides an overview of the subject and looks at the role of governments, NGOs, academics and corporate sectors in community based disaster risk reduction.It proceeds to examine experiences from Asian and African countries, and concludes by looking ahead to the future perspective of CBDRR.

Managing High Risk Sex Offenders in the Community : Risk Management, Treatment and Social Responsibility
Sex offenders, and in particular paedophiles, have been the subject of much political and media attention, producing intensive debates about the best way of dealing with them.This book explores these issues, evaluating the measures in use or being considered, including drug treatment, MAPPA, the use of the Sex Offender Register, restorative justice techniques, and treatment programmes.It is concerned with high-risk sex offenders both when they are sentenced to a community order, and also when they are released back into the community after a custodial sentence.The introductory section opens with a discussion on how terms such as paedophilia are constructed and viewed, and then looks at how government policy regarding sex offending has developed over recent years.Section two looks at issues concerned with risk management, questioning whether enough is being done to monitor the risk that high-risk offenders pose when released into society; whilst section three, on risk reduction covers the main methods of treatment, including sex offender treatment programmes, pharmacotherapy (chemical castration) and restorative and reintegration techniques.Section Four focuses on specific offender groups; including female sexual offenders, sexual harm by youth, mentally disordered sexual offenders and intellectual disabled offenders.These assess in what ways these offenders are different to the 'norm' and look at how we should be dealing and treating these differences.The final section looks at social and moral responsibilities, including the patterns, prevention and protection of cyber-sex offences and media constructions of and reactions to paedophilia.In the final chapter the concept of dignity is addressed and the balance between community protection and the rights of sex offenders involved is evaluated.

Risk-Sharing Finance : An Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) Perspective
The contemporary finance deals mainly with multilateral and multi-counterparty transactions.Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) has yet to develop its conceptualization of this modality of financing.Thus far, it has become a norm for large financing projects to rely on a complex structure of interconnected bilateral contracts that in totality becomes opaque, complex and costly.An unfortunate result of the unavailability of an efficient Fiqhi model applicable to modern multilateral and multi-counterparty contracts has been the fact that the present Islamic finance has been forced to replicate conventional risk-transfer (interest rate based) debt contracts thus drawing severe criticisms of duplicating conventional finance. In 2012, a gathering of some of the Muslim world’s most prominent experts in Jurisprudence (Fuqaha) and economists issued the Kuala Lumpur Declaration (Fatwa) in which they identified risk sharing as the essence of Islamic finance.The Declaration opened the door for a new Fiqh approach to take the lead in developing the jurisprudence of multilateral and multi-counterparty transactions.This Declaration (Fatwa) provides a prime motivation to search for a comprehensive model of risk sharing that can serve as an archetypal contract encompassing all potential contemporary financial transactions.From the perspective of Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh), the technicalities of the concept of risk sharing in contemporary finance have yet to be defined in Islamic literature. This book attempts to clarify and shed light on these technicalities from the perspective of Fiqh.It is a comprehensive study that relies on the fundamental Islamic sources to establish a theoretical and practical perspective of Fiqh encompassing risk-sharing Islamic finance as envisioned in the Kuala Lumpur Declaration of 2012.This new paradigm should lead to a more efficient approach to multilateral and multi-counterparty Islamic contracts which, here-to-fore has been lacking in the current configuration of Islamic finance.

Which risk do you prefer: normal risk or deluxe risk?
I prefer normal risk because it allows for a balance between potential reward and potential loss. Deluxe risk may offer higher potential rewards, but it also comes with a higher likelihood of significant loss. Normal risk allows for a more conservative approach to managing potential risks and rewards, which aligns with my preference for stability and security.

Should I take a second risk and risk a second rejection?
Taking a second risk and risking a second rejection can be a difficult decision. It's important to consider the potential benefits of taking the risk, as well as the potential consequences of facing rejection again. If the potential rewards outweigh the potential negative outcomes, and if you believe that the risk is worth taking, then it may be worth considering taking the second risk. However, it's also important to take into account your emotional well-being and to consider whether you are prepared to handle another rejection. Ultimately, the decision to take a second risk is a personal one and should be carefully considered based on your individual circumstances.

Would you risk it?
As an AI, I do not have the capacity to take risks or make decisions based on emotions or personal preferences. However, I can provide information and analysis to help individuals make informed decisions about whether or not to take risks based on their own circumstances and risk tolerance. Ultimately, the decision to take a risk depends on the potential benefits, the likelihood of success, and the individual's willingness to accept the potential consequences.

Sharing Risk : The Path to Economic Well-Being for All
Examining why society should pool and spread the financial risk that individual families now bear. Over the past sixty years, businesses and government have increasingly offloaded financial risk onto US households.The toll has pushed tens of millions of people to the financial breaking point, worsened social inequity, and jeopardized US democracy.In Sharing Risk, consumer advocate and scholar Patricia A.McCoy draws on the nation’s traditions of risk sharing to argue that society should lift up families by pooling and spreading the financial risks that they now must bear alone. Most policy discussions of financial stress on households look at the milestones of economic well-being in isolation: making ends meet, homeownership, quality health care, financing college, and a secure retirement.McCoy offers the first integrated examination of how risk sharing can enable families to realistically achieve all five goals without sacrificing one for another.She makes specific policy recommendations and shows how risk sharing, with its long and venerable history that includes Social Security and the Affordable Care Act, would provide economic well-being for all.

Risk
We are living in a world in which the existence of risk is constantly debated, misinformation and disinformation are rife and spread quickly and easily through online media, and where governments and institutions continue to avoid taking decisive action even when there is general agreement that a serious threat exists.Understanding how people, social groups and social organizations understand, respond to and act on threats, hazards and dangers is more important than ever.In Risk, Deborah Lupton asserts the ongoing importance of the analysis of risk in our age of permacrisis and mounting scepticism about experts and science, calling for a ‘re-turn’ to risk theory in the social sciences. The book outlines the three major approaches to risk in social and cultural theory, devoting a chapter to each.The first approach draws upon the work of Mary Douglas to articulate the cultural/symbolic perspective on risk.The second approach is that of the risk society perspective, based on the writings of Ulrich Beck and Anthony Giddens.The third approach covered is that of the governmentality perspective, which builds on Michel Foucault’s work.Three other chapters examine in detail the relationship between concepts of risk and concepts of selfhood and the body, the notion of Otherness and how this influences the ways in which people respond to and think about risk, and the pleasures of voluntary risk-taking, including discussion of edgework.An entirely new chapter has been added to this edition, focusing on the risks posed by misinformation and denial in the context of climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic.This chapter discusses the politics of post-truth cultures and the powerful networks of actor and organizations that together work to challenge science and manufacture dissent against attempts to tackle these crises. This new edition of Risk is an essential introduction to the topic of risk for students and academics in the social sciences and humanities.
