Encapsulating new policing developments under the Coalition, A
Future for Policing: Developments in Policing in England and Wales
for the 21st Century examines the major reform proposals and
reports brought in since May 2010, including the Winsor Report and
the 2010 Comprehensive Spending Review, and analyses what these
changes mean for the future of policing in England and Wales.
In the 1990s and 2000s the Police Service in England and Wales
underwent profound change which saw massive increases in resources
accompanied by increased centralism, a more business-like approach,
and the proliferation of national objectives, targets and strategic
plans. The Coalition Government signalled a radical shift away from
that political consensus towards fewer numbers, a significant
reduction in resources, decentralisation, and the creation of
locally elected crime commissioners. This book argues that, as a
consequence of this, British society and politics are entering a
difficult and complex future, featuring a return to some aspects
the social tension and disorder which characterised the 1970s and
1980s, and that the Police Service is currently ill-structured to
adapt to the changes.
Drawing on the author's own experience as one the country's most
senior chief constables and his continuing experience as a police
historian and analyst of contemporary police affairs, A Future for
Policing will be of interest to senior police officers and policing
academics, as well as those involved in leadership and other
personal development programmes. It will also be of interest to
policymakers and historians.
