What role can and should police unions and rank-and-file
officers play in driving and shaping police reform? Police unions
and their members are often viewed as obstructionist and
conservative, not as change agents. But reform efforts are much
more likely to succeed when they are supported by the
rank-and-file, and line officers have knowledge, skills and
insights that can be invaluable in promoting reform. Efforts to
involve police unions and rank-and-file officers in police reform
are less common than they should be, but they are increasing, and
there is a good deal to learn about policing, police reform and
participatory management from the efforts made to date.
In this pioneering volume, an international, cross-disciplinary
collection of scholars and police unionists address a range of
neglected questions, both empirical and theoretical, about the
place of police officers themselves in the process of reform what
it has been, and what it could be. They provide a fresh view of
police reform as occurring from the bottom up rather than the top
down. This book will be highly useful for practitioners and
scholars who have a serious interest in the possibilities and
limits of police organizational change.
This book is based on special issues of Police Practice and
Research and Policing and Society.
