Special Issue Description
Dear Collegues,
Any service created to meet the needs of the total population of a community is considered a public service. [1][2] People who live in a government jurisdiction can access public services directly from public sector organizations or through public financing of private firms or nonprofits (or even as provided by family households, though terminology may differ depending on context). Other public services are provided on behalf of or in the greatest interests of the citizens of a government. The phrase refers to a social consensus that some services ought to be accessible to everyone, regardless of wealth, physical condition, or brain fortitude (often expressed through elections). The paramedics, police, and fire brigades are a few examples of such services (see also public service broadcasting).
Public services are usually governed by rules that go beyond those that apply to most economic sectors for social and political reasons, even in cases in which they are neither provided nor funded by the government. When it is made with the public's interests and goals in mind, public policy is a form of public service. While some government services may occasionally fit the definition of a public good (being non-rivalrous and non-excludable), the majority are services that, depending on prevailing social standards, the market may not adequately provide. Most of the time, government services are only services; no actual goods are produced as a result. Particularly in industries with natural monopolies, they may be provided by regional or national monopolies.
