Items related to Understanding Policing (Crime and Justice)
This text will explore the field of police and policing, mainly in Britain and Continental Europe, although there will be some comparative coverage of the US, Canada and Australasia. It is a theoretically informed text, but will also include a wide range of policy issues and will draw upon empirical research in the field. The book discusses key current debates surrounding police and policing, including the growth of private policing and partnerships, the problem of measuring police effectiveness, issues around race and gender, the impact of changing technologies, and the internationalisation of policing.
