Presentation 'The police (occupational) culture in belgian capital city patrol units: assessing styles, meanings & patterns' Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This presentation elaborates on findings of a research focussing on the police occupational culture in several police patrol units located in the Belgian capital city.

Elite sport culture and policy interrelationships: The case of Sprint Canoe in Australia Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In recent years, elite sport policy has received considerable research attention.

This study explores the elite sport policy interrelationships of Sprint Canoe in order to explain the dynamic links between policies and how they may affect ...
