The first social history of Scottish policing from 1900 to the
present day This book will be the first to provide a much-needed
history of the experience of policing in twentieth-century
Scotland. Drawing on a wealth of archival materials, oral history
interviews, memoir and autobiography, it examines the relationship
between police officers and the diverse urban/rural communities
they served against the backdrop of social and economic change, the
ruptures of wartime, the impact of technology and the
centralisation of governance. Through its analysis of the dynamics
that created points of trust and co-operation as well as tension
and conflict across time - with particular reference to gender,
age, ethnicity and religion - it will contribute to broader current
debates (outside of Scotland as well as within) about the
significance of localism in assuring police legitimacy and
delivering an effective service. Thus, it will also be the first
book to offer a sustained historical analysis of the changing
configuration of police-community relationships - from Victorian
legacy to present day - highlighting patterns of chronological
change as well as geographical variation. Key features Based on
rich collection of previously unused primary source materials;
Provides geographical coverage of rural areas (including highlands
and islands) as well as densely populated urban areas; Focuses on
social identities and the dynamics shaping police-community
relationships across time in order to contribute to debates about
effective policing today; Contextualises Scottish experience in
relation to broader comparative frameworks.
