Sommario/riassunto

"With the increase in the availability of data, the role of statistical and probabilistic reasoning is becoming ever more high profile, and courts are increasingly aware of the importance of the proper assessment of evidence in which there is random variation. Statistical techniques allow the forensic scientist to evaluate and interpret evidence where there is an element of uncertainty. Since its first publication in 1995, this highly regarded book has been considered as the leading text in statistical evaluation of forensic evidence. Bringing together authors from the fields of both statistics and forensic science, all international experts in the evaluation and interpretation of evidence, the third edition will be fully revised and updated to reflect the latest research and developments in this field."--

Sommario/riassunto

This book examines user and community co-production of public services and outcomes, currently one of the most discussed topics in the field of public management and policy. It considers co-production in a wide range of public services, with particular emphasis on health, social care and community safety, illustrated through international case studies in many of the chapters. This book draws on both quantitative and qualitative empirical research studies on co-production, and on the Governance International database of more than 70 international co-



production case studies, most of which have been republished by the OECD. Academically rigorous and systematically evidence-based, the book incorporates many insights which have arisen from the extensive range of research projects and executive training programmes in co-production undertaken by the author. Written in a style which is easy and enjoyable to read, the book gives readers, both academics and practitioners, the opportunityto develop a creative understanding of the essence and implications of co-production. Elke Loeffler is Senior Lecturer at the University of Strathclyde, Scotland, and Director of the non-profit organisation Governance International.
