Does a more academic type of police education produce new police
officers that are reluctant to patrol the streets? What is the
impact of gender diversity and political orientation on a police
students' career aspirations and attitudes to policing? These are
some of the questions addressed by this longitudinal project,
following police students in seven European countries. The unique
data material makes it possible to explore a wide range of topics
relevant to the future development of policing, police education
and police science more generally. Part I presents an overview of
the different goals and models of police education in the seven
participating countries. Part II describes what type of student is
attracted to police education, taking into consideration
educational background, political orientation and career
aspirations. Part III shows the social impact of police education
by examining students' orientations towards emerging competence
areas; students' career aspirations; and students' attitudes
concerning trust, cynicism and legalism. The overall results show
that police students are strikingly similar across different types
of police education. Students in academic institutions are at least
as interested in street patrolling as students in vocational
training institutions. Gender and recruitment policies matters more
in relation to career preferences than education models. The
national context plays a more important role than the type of
police education system. Written in a clear and direct style, this
book will appeal to students and scholars in policing, criminology,
sociology, social theory and cultural studies and those interested
in how police education shapes its graduates.
