Features: After the SARS event, China's public security issues have received widespread attention from the government, scholars, and the general public. This book focuses on the development and current status of public security management in China, drawing extensively on mature concepts and operational mechanisms from international emergency response systems to provide references for China's public security management.
Part I analyzes the research foundations of public security and explains the necessity of establishing public security management as an independent discipline. Part II introduces China's current responses and handling of natural disasters, production accidents, public health events, and social security incidents. Part III emphasizes the impact of the SARS event on public security research and management, comparing and analyzing contingency plans between China and other countries, highlighting the shortcomings of China's public security management, which has recently shifted from experience-based to institutionalized responses. The book stresses the urgency of strengthening research and practice in risk management and establishing mature, comprehensive public security management mechanisms. At the end of the book, the "National Overall Emergency Response Plan for Public Security Events" is included for reference.
