The New Policing provides a comprehensive introduction to the
critical issues confronting policing today. It incorporates an
overview of traditional approaches to the study of the police with
a discussion of current perspectives. The book goes on to examine
key themes, including: - the core purpose of contemporary
policework; - the reconfiguration of police culture; -
organisational issues and dilemmas currently confronting the
police; - the managerial reforms and professional; innovations that
have been implemented in recent years; - the future of policing,
security and crime control. In offering this discussion of the
nature and role of the police, The New Policing illustrates the
need to re-examine and re-think the theoretical perspectives that
have constituted policing studies. Examining evidence from the
United Kingdom, the United States and other western societies, the
book promotes and enables an understanding of the cultural and
symbolic significance of policing in society. This ground-breaking
text has been constructed to ensure that it touches on all the key
issues that any course on police and policing will cover. It is an
essential purchase for all students of policing and criminal
justice, and academics and professionals working in this field.
