Interdisciplinary Studies Journal. Special Issue on Security, Safety and Social Responsibility Vol. 3, No 1, 2013.
This journal, the Interdisciplinary Studies Journal (ISJ), is an international forum exploring the frontiers of innovation, creativity and development. This journal does not limit itself to traditions specifically associated with one discipline or school of thought per se but embraces consideration of emerging issues assessing novel terrains and encouraging change. ISJ aims to publish papers on diverse subjects related but not limited to service innovation and design, nursing and coping home, security/safety and social responsibility, and student entrepreneurship. The papers are expected to contribute to raising awareness and rethinking the concept of interdisciplinarity. ISJ serves to both industry and academic communities by advancing the premises for implementing research into practice. These quarterly journal issues are published under a distinguished list of editors, including special issues, comprising an expected annual volume of over 700 pages. ISJ is listed in the Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory, and indexed and abstracted in the ProQuest.
The contributions in this unrefereed special issue on “Security, Safety and Social Responsibility” stem from both academics and practitioners. We are delighted to present to you a variety of research articles and practical papers representing the chosen subject fields covered by this special issue. M. Mattila discusses in her paper the different views on defining safety, security and social responsibility. The article by Tammilehto compiles different theories and views about offence indicators and examines how much emphasis criminology has put on the four variables that have been acknowledged to correlate with crime. Salminen examines violence at Finnish workplaces in his paper which is a literature review of Finnish studies on occupational violence. E. Mattila et al. present the various experiences based on the TRIO Counseling Model. The patent pending Navigator Help Desk presented in this paper promotes the health and welfare of its customers and aims to go from local to global. The purpose of the Korvenranta et al. paper is to introduce one form of community-based psychosocial support method. Fire is used as an example situation in this paper as it requires a special need for psychosocial support. Rajamäki et al. argue in their paper that GNSS-based tracking systems enable many possibilities for improved safety and security response especially in remote and sparsely populated areas. Knuutinen describes the contested concept of corporate social responsibility especially in the context of income taxation. Particularly, his paper reviews international tax planning and tax avoidance in the light of corporate social responsibility. Keinänen et al. study the effect of regional factors on establishments’ possibility of becoming a victim of a crime as well as the appearance of distraction elements in the immediate surroundings. The strength of their paper is that the information used for analyses about crimes is not based on registers but the companies’ own notifications. M. Mattila addresses safety, security and social responsibility as one of Laurea’s focus areas in R&D. In her paper, Mattila presents holistic, multidisciplinary viewpoints which are characteristic to this focus area. Salo examines in her book review the terms of corporate responsibility and governance, risk management and compliance as presented by Steinberg in his text (2011). Salo argues for example that the common nominator for both above mentioned ones is business ethics. Jokela et al. introduces Laurea Medical and Care Simulation Center, which is a multi-professional training center focusing on simulating Crisis Resource Management and Patient Safety technologies. Laurea is well-known for its development-based learning model Learning by Developing (LbD) and was appointed in its entirety by Finnish Higher Education Evaluation Council as a Centre of Excellence for 2010-2012 for student-centered R&D work integrated in learning.
