This fascinating new title offers an ethnographical investigation
of contemporary police culture based on extensive field work across
a range of ranks and units in the UK's police force. By drawing on
over 600 hours of direct observation of operational policing in
urban and rural areas and interviews with over 60 officers, the
author assesses what impact three decades of social, economic and
political change have had on police culture. She offers new
understandings of the policing of ethnicity, gender and sexuality,
and the ways in which reform initiatives are accommodated and
resisted within the police. The author also explores the attempts
of one force to effect cultural change both to improve the working
conditions of staff and to deliver a more effective and equitable
service to all groups in society.
Beginning with a review of the literature on police culture from 30
years ago, the author goes on to outline the new social, economic
and political field of contemporary British policing. Taking this
as a starting point, the remaining chapters present the main
findings of the empirical research in what is a truly comprehensive
analysis of present day policing culture.
