In the late 1980s, the role of the police and their accountability
to the community had been at the centre of much debate. Originally
published in 1989, this important collection of original essays
from the leading independent academic researchers on the police in
Britain addresses the major issues in this debate. How far police
behaviour is shaped by law; what the public expect of the police;
how the police handle race relations; and how the police
effectiveness can best be measured, are discussed in the light of
the latest research. The central focus of the volume is the notion
of 'policing by consent' and the way this is interpreted in
practice. The essays range from basic analyses of what the police
do to major evaluations of recent policy initiatives, such as
neighbourhood watch. The contributors discuss a range of issues,
from new programmes for police training to the role of chief
constables. Written in a form accessible to students of policing
and police officers, Coming to Terms with Policing sheds light on
trends at the time and suggests new directions for policing policy.
