Originally published in 1994, this work examines the different
models of police accountability that were implemented in the 1980s.
Based on research carried out in Manchester, the work discusses
local government efforts to construct a new social contract between
the police and the community. The research is considered within the
wider theoretical debates about the nature of participatory
democracy. The conclusion argues that there is an urgent need to
confront the complexities of constructing satisfactory
police-community relations in Britain's inner cities. It evaluates
whether the reorganization of policing at the time would lead to a
more accountable police service. It was one of the first books in
this country to argue for an abolitionist position that is now
central to BLM debates. Today it can be read against the backdrop
of ongoing debates of police accountability and police race
relations.
