Reviews & Statements

"Dr. Reddick bolsters his findings with surveys of "real world" officials in senior ranks. This buttresses the validity of his findings while underscoring the often broad chasm between the potential and reality of what IT can deliver in helping to improve prevention and mitigation of natural and manmade disasters. Thusly, Reddick's work is both informative and thought-provoking."

– Professor Howard Frank, Florida International University, USA

Dr. Christopher Reddick's book, Homeland Security Preparedness and Information Systems: Strategies for Managing Public Policy, is a useful empirical analysis of the extent of information systems use in homeland security at the federal, state, and the local government levels. ... The main contribution of the book is to integrate the two research themes of e-government and homeland security preparedness in order to provide baseline knowledge of the key officials' attitudes and thinking.
