In 1974 local government reforms became the catalyst for the
introduction of a new police service structure, creating 43
separate forces under a new tripartite system. The years since then
represent one of the most profoundly turbulent periods of British
political, economic and social life. It was a time of great change,
and the police service was at the very centre of those changes.
Today the service is only superficially recognisable as the one
which entered the final quarter of the 20th. A History of Policing
in England and Wales from 1974: The Turbulent Years offers a
detailed and descriptive chronology of the period, exploring the
key themes of order and social stability, the professionalization
of the police service, centralization, the dynamics of police
community relations, and the 'reform' programmes of the Thatcher,
Major and Blair administrations, in particular charting the failure
of the Charles Clarke drive for amalgamations in 2005/6. Written by
a former chief constable involved in policing throughout much of
the period, the book vividly describes the great events of the
time, including the threat and ultimate defeat of IRA terrorism;
the urban riots of the 1980s; major crime investigations - such as
the 'Yorkshire Ripper', the West Case, and the Soham murders - and
their lasting impact; the controversial policing of the 1984
Miners' Strike; and the return of terrorism to the British mainland
in 2005.
