Inspectors and Enforcement at the Front Line of Government de Steven Van De Walle

Inspectors and Enforcement at the Front Line of Government

Editat de Steven Van De Walle, Nadine Raaphorst
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 ian 2019
This book explores the social dynamics of the interaction between inspectors and their inspectees in the public sector. Government inspectors have a crucial role in enforcing rules and standards. The role of inspectors has changed. Their task is no longer to merely inspect and enforce, but also to educate, to negotiate, and to make compromises. Their decisions come about as a result of an interaction with inspectees: Do I punish or do I let go? Do I negotiate or do I issue a fine? Do I believe what this inspectee is telling me? Using insights from public administration, regulation and sociology, this book looks at the daily work of a diverse group of inspectors such as tax inspectors, veterinary inspectors, school inspectors, environmental inspectors or health inspectors.

Caracteristici

Focuses on a specific and understudied group of street-level bureaucrats: inspectors Moves beyond the current focus of street level bureaucracy scholarship by focusing on the social dynamics of bureaucratic interactions Appeals to scholars particularly working on policy sectors in which the inspectors covered by this book are active: social security, taxation, animal welfare, building standards, chemical safety
