Ethical and human rights issues have assumed an increasingly high
profile in the wake of miscarriages of justice, racism,
incompetence and corruption both in Britain and overseas. This
title aims to provide an accessible introduction to the key issues
surrounding ethics in policing, linking this to recent developments
and human rights legislation. It is divided into three parts,
putting ethics in the context of changes in Britain and
international policing, analyzing the purpose and aims of poicing,
setting out a framework for the discussion of ethics and human
rights. Part two discusses ethics in relation to four categories of
values - personal, organizational, quality and conumerism and
societal and part three examines and critically reviews approaches
to value drive change, recruiting, training and compliance audit
models and ethical codes which have been used to try an achieve an
ethical and professional police service.
Ethical and human rights issues have assumed an increasingly high
profile in the wake of miscarriages of justice, racism (Lawrence
Inquiry), incompetence and corruption - in both Britain and
overseas. At the same time the implementation of the Human Rights
Act 1998 in England and Wales will have a major impact on policing,
challenging many of the assumptions about how policing is carried
out. This book aims to provide an accessible introduction to the
key issues surrounding ethics in policing, linking this to recent
developments and new human rights legislation. It sets out a
powerful case for a modern 'ethical policing' approach. Policing,
Ethics and Human Rights argues that securing and protecting human
rights should be a major, if not the major, rationale for public
policing.
Contemporary policing is developing rapidly and is becoming
increasingly professionalized. For practitioners National
Occupational Standards, Skills for Justice and the the new PDLP
(Police Development and Leaning Programme) have brought a new
emphasis on skills, standards and knowledge. Training for police
officers and civilian staff working in policing is being
significantly upgraded. At the same time it has become more
rigorous, with universities and other higher educational
institutions playing an increasingly important part in police
training - as well as expanding the range of policing courses for
undergraduate and postgraduate students. Key features:
approximately 300 entries (of between 500 and 1500 words) on key
terms and concepts arranged alphabetically designed to meet the
needs of both students and practitioners entries include summary
definition, main text and key texts and sources takes full account
of emerging occupational and Skills for Justice criteria edited by
the UK's leading academic expert on policing and the Chief
Executive of the National Policing Improvement Agency Entries

This text provides an accessible, up to date and comprehensive
introduction to police ethics and values for all those undertaking
degrees and foundation degrees in policing and related subjects.
The recent introduction of directives, legislation and Codes of
Standards has demanded a more principled and professional approach
to policing. This book therefore provides a clear understanding of
police ethics and values and how these are understood in policy and
applied in an operational setting. It discusses the range,
importance and complexity of ethical issues faced by law
enforcement practitioners and policy makers, introduces the key
concepts of ethics, professionalism and policing, and relates these
to key themes within policing.
