Relentless fiscal pressures faced by the public police over the
last few decades have meant that police organisations have had to
find new ways to obtain and harness the resources needed to achieve
their goals. Through entering into relationships of coercion,
commercial exchange, and gift with a wide variety of external
institutions and individuals operating in both public and private
capacities, police organisations have risen to this challenge.
Indeed, police organisations are increasingly operating within a
business paradigm. But what are the benefits of these relationships
and the nature of the risks that might accompany reliance upon
them? This book examines these new modes of exchange between police
and 'outsiders' and explores how far these relationships can be
taken before certain fundamental values - equity in the
distribution of policing, cost-effectiveness in the delivery of
police services, and the legitimacy of the police institution
itself - are placed in jeopardy.
