Originally published in 1951, The British Police describes the
different types of police force, the powers and functions of local
police authorities, the ways in which control from the centre is
exercised, and the effect of the Local Government Boundary
Commission's proposals on police areas at the time. Special
emphasis is placed on what happens in practice and not only in
theory, and on developments during and after the second world war.
Chapters are included on (amongst other things) the special
position of the Metropolitan Police Force, emphasizing the
independence of the 'Yard' from the Home Secretary's control; on
recruitment, training, promotion, and the police college; pay and
conditions of service, and policewomen. At the time of first
publication the work was intended to be of use to university
students in the Social Sciences who had previously had no
up-to-date book to reply on; it would also have interested the
general reader by attempting to answer such questions as to whether
the local basis of the British police service was - as was so often
claimed - the key to the good relations of the police with the
public and one of the great safeguards of personal liberty in
Britain. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical
context.
