Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
What role should the police have in an industrial dispute? How were
they led into a partisan role in assisting the defeat of the 1984-5
miners' strike? Widespread concern over police road-blocks,
allegations of police and picket violence, and the huge numbers of
police used to maintain order and access to work led the National
Council for Civil Liberties to set up an inquiry into the policing.
The Inquiry Panel produced an interim report - but the NCCL
disowned it, because of its acknowledgement of the rights of
working miners as well as striking ones. The members of the Panel -
who included former Chief Constable John Alderson and NCCL General
Secretary Larry Gostin - then resigned, but continued work as a
group of private individuals. Originally published in 1988, this
book is their final report. The report describes the policing of
the strike in detail from a range of published, unpublished, and
eyewitness sources. The strike is set in the context of
developments in law and policing before and since. The authors are
able to provide a unique and authoritative perspective, analysing
both the events of 1984-5 and the longer-term trends and problems,
based on a clear recognition of the basic issues and conflicts of
civil liberties involved. In their conclusions and recommendations
the authors present an informed view of the use of the police
during the strike, the breakdown of the system of police
accountability, and the policies developed since the strike. Their
findings point to the need for a Bill of Rights to cover civil
liberties during industrial conflict, and the need for a new
picketing Code of Practice. The Police, Public Order, and Civil
Liberties will be essential reading for all concerned with the
police, industrial relations, and the political and constitutional
system. It will also be of value to all who need a clear and
unbiased view of one of the key events in British post-war history.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of
Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical
understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking.
Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel
Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and
moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade.
The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and
Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a
debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below

John Alderson demonstrates how it is all too easy for everyday
police officers to fall into behaviour which becomes difficult to
comprehend-as a result of police practices, working cultures and a
lack of values for decision-making. Through his description of what
he calls 'high police' and by way of worldwide examples he calls
for decency, fairness and morality to act as touchstones for police
officers everywhere. Principled Policing - which is dedicated to
'the innocent victims of the world's unprincipled policing' is now
in wide use on courses for police training. Review 'The book...is
excellent...I am using often during the seminars which we have in
Macedonia': Trpe Stojanovski, 50 Police Division, Republic of
Macedonia. Author John Alderson QPM is the former Chief Constable
of Devon and Cornwall and enjoyed a high profile during his police
career arguing for decency and morality in police work - and
against the abuse of power. He is a barrister-at-law and police
writer and scholar whose work is of international repute. His books
have been translated into many languages (from Icelandic to
Chinese) and are currently in use in police institutions worldwide.
His police career, spanning 36 years, began as a foot patrol
officer in the North of England. He later held some of the highest
and most influential positions in British policing, including
Commandant of the National Police Staff College, Bramshill and
Assistant Commissioner, New Scotland Yard: his career culminating
in his appointment as chief constable of Devon and Cornwall where,
as a proponent of community policing, he developed its theory and
initiated its early practice. In 1982 he was commissioned by the
Council of Europe Committee for Education in Human Rights to write
the European textbook for the training of European police
officials, Human Rights and the Police (Strasbourg, 1984). His
other published works include The Police We Deserve with P J Stead
(Woolfe, 1973), Policing Freedom (Macdonald and Evans, 1979) and
Law and Disorder (Hamish Hamilton, 1984). He was visiting professor
of police studies at the University of Strathclyde from 1983 to
1988, has held fellowships at Cambridge, Oxford, Exeter and
Portsmouth universities, and holds doctorates (Honoris Causa) from
the universities of Exeter (Law) and Bradford (Letters).
