This book provides a highly readable introduction to the role and
function of the police and policing, examining the issues and
debates that surround this. It looks at the 'core functions' of the
police, the ways in which police functions have developed, their
key characteristics, and the challenges they face. From the outset
questions are asked about the conceptual contestability and
ambiguity of policing, and different views of police roles are
addressed in turn: policing as social control, crime investigation,
managing risk, policing as community justice, and as a public good.
