Police leaders possess a plethora of rich experiences and
practical and theoretical knowledge that provides fascinating
insights into the current state of policing around the world. While
observers opinions of ongoing developments in policing are well
known, it is rare to get an insider s glimpse of how police leaders
themselves assess these advances. Through in-depth and
exceptionally thoughtful interviews with highly placed police
leaders and administrators, Trends in Policing: Interviews with
Police Leaders Across the Globe presents cross-cultural
perspectives on the organizational structure, leadership,
functions, public projects, training, culture, and societal context
of police worldwide.
A broad spectrum of police philosophies from over a dozen
countries
This elite group of leaders and the learned researchers who
interview them address the fundamental contextual changes that add
layers of complexity to police work. Covering an extensive range of
topics, the interviews include the experiences, opinions, and
preferences of men and women who individually and as a group
possess a vast array of knowledge pertaining to the problems and
prospects of policing. While examining current trends, they discuss
the future role of police in a world in which policing issues
transcend national borders.
A fruitful collaboration between practitioners and academics
Through discussions with those actively engaged in policing,
this book bridges the gap between research and practice. While
police leaders are not usually accustomed to reflecting and writing
on their experiences, the thoughtful interview style of the
researchers assists the practitioners in defining their views,
forming a cohesive volume rich with the wisdom of experience and
the context of analysis.
