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.
This fully updated and expanded second edition of Policing Scotland
takes account of recent developments in Scottish policing and
criminal justice against the backdrop of a dynamic political
landscape and looming fiscal constraints in public services. The
book offers contributions from both academics and practitioners,
and not only shows police at work in contemporary Scotland, but
also gives some insight into those areas where policing is carried
out by non-police people and organisations. It seeks to identify
what it is about Scottish policing that is distinctly Scottish, the
main characteristics of modern policing in Scotland, how these have
developed over the recent past, and what they have become today. In
answering these questions, the book analyses policing in Scotland
in the context of the new and emerging ideas about the nature,
purposes and methods of policing that are developing elsewhere in
the world, and seeks to determine how far Scottish policing is
maintaining its own traditions, or simply becoming a localised
example of wider global trends. The second edition of this popular
text introduces new chapters on crime investigation, police
unionism, ethnic minorities, policing violence and forensic
science, as well as incorporating a major new theme which seeks to
explain how those responsible for policing Scotland set about
dealing with current issues such as terrorism and organised crime.
This book makes a significant contribution to the current debate on
policing in Scotland, and as such is an essential text for
academics and those interested in policing issues.
