Low confidence in the police and the increasing crime rates
during the 1990s led to a series of government initiatives directed
at changing both the structure and management of the police
service. In 2006 in an attempt to define what a principled police
service should resemble, the Home Office Minister, Hazel Blears,
announced the development of new Code of Professional Standards for
the police service, informed by the Taylor Review of 2005. While
there has been a growing awareness of the role of Professional
Standards within law enforcement activity, to date there has been
little scholarly debate on the understanding of ethics and how that
is applied to practical policing.
This book provides a single text of different perspectives on how
professional standards and ethics has been conceptualised and
developed into practical policing processes for the purposes of
policing, not only by the police but also by the partner agencies.
Leading academics and practitioners consider the moral minefield of
policing through examinations of undercover operatives, MI5 and
deaths in police custody as well as looking forward to the future
considerations and practices in professional conduct.
It will be of interest to those working within the field of
policing as well as students and academics focussed on policing and
criminal justice.
