Originally published in1988, Introducing Policework offered a new
and concise overview of the controversial subject of policework at
the time. The authors provide critical evaluations of the
contributions made by psychologists, social psychologists,
historians, sociologists, and political scientists, and an
assessment of how these fit within an overall understanding of
policework. Among the issues considered are: the process of
socialization that lead to a ‘cop culture’; the historical
evolution of police working practices and their current impact upon
the social divisions of age, gender, race and class; problems with
the present system of accountability; the prospects for success of
recent (post-Scarman) initiatives, such as community consultation.
The achievement of this book is that it provides lively and
consistent discussion of key issues in the consideration of
policework: race and crime, the question of gender, victimization
and the ‘new realism’, police monitoring, Neighbourhood Watch,
and police training initiatives. Today it will provide an
interesting look back at a critical evaluation of policework in the
1980s.
