This book examines the changing police landscape over the past 25
years to establish how Police Leadership has evolved to meet this
challenge. Through interviews with 35 Chief Police Officers in the
UK, the author explores a range of policing issues such as crime
investigation, terrorism, police governance, austerity issues, the
role of the IPCC and public order provision. The book also
highlights views on key topics such as armed policing,
globalisation of crime and the structure of forces. Building on the
seminal text Chief Constables: Bobbies, Bosses or Bureaucrats by
Robert Reiner, which is this year celebrating its 25th anniversary,
this book brings research on policing up to date with the modern
world. An engaging and well-researched project, this book will be
of great interest to scholars of criminal justice, policing and
security studies.
This edited textbook covers a range of key operational and
strategic aspects of police administration, from experts who have
both an academic and practitioner background. It sets out the
modern challenges and demands facing the police and then covers the
theory and practice of how to deal with such issues, including the
leadership skills which are required at every level. These
challenges are covered in sections on the use of force,
international policing, investigation of new crimes and forensic
investigation, counter-terrorism, intelligence, mental well-being,
and community policing. Some of the key themes discussed include
dealing with public demand for police services, diversity and
partnership/interoperability working locally, regionally and
internationally. This book is designed at all levels of warranted
officer and speaks to undergraduate and postgraduate policing
students with a range of pedagogic features including seminar and
exam questions.
This book examines how the police make decisions in real life
situations, particularly in major enquiries. The two key themes
explored are real-time decision making along with what "works" in
such circumstances. It aims to set out how successful decisions are
arrived at in a variety of difficult and time-constrained
situations and discusses the lessons that can be learnt from this.
Written by practitioners and academics, the book explores a range
of topics, from the decision making process involved operational
matters and in difficult-so-solve murder enquiries. It not only
examines decision making but also how experienced decision makers
function. It looks at the psychology of police decision making,
decision making involved in cold case investigations, and discusses
the need for "grip" during major investigations. The contributors
are experienced and respected practitioners and academics This book
will appeal particularly to those studying Policing and Criminology
and also to Investigating Officers and those involved in
professionalising investigative practice.
