Description and Table of Contents

Description

Studies of policing tend to focus on effectiveness-on what works-rather than what matters, of why policing should be done in particular ways or reformed or restructured. This book explores that angle, looking at the implications of recent restructurings in the UK, USA and the Netherlands, with a special emphasis on the dilemmas faced by police leadership as they confront change.
