What is policing about and who defines it? This book examines these
key issues by exploring the notion of zero tolerance and its
application in different settings. Following its introduction in
New York, and the seemingly dramatic reduction in crime, zero
tolerance policing was taken up in a number of other countries,
including the UK and the Netherlands. This book examines that
process. It argues that this policy was, in fact, nothing more than
a return to old-style, crime control policing. While it did foster
the swift analysis of crime patterns and more assertive policing of
public places, it could lean towards repression and demonising of
certain groups. Examining the EEE Examining the EEEExamining the
negative response of leading police officers and the policy's
debatable impact on crime, the author concludes that zero tolerance
in the UK and Netherlands was more of a populist political and
media creation than a coherent policy. This book is far more than
an authoritative analysis of zero tolerance. It is a valuable
source for entering the debate about the big picture in policing
which many stakeholders now wish to see. The approachable style of
this book makes it ideal for students, academics, police
practitioners and the lay reader to enter that debate.
