Opis

The traditional view of the role of the police had come under increasing attacks in the early 1980s. The riots of 1981 and the Scarman Inquiry stimulated a widespread public debate about policing, police powers and accountability. Originally published in 1986, this book considers these critical issues in contemporary policing.
