Police Corruption: Exploring Police Deviance and Crime
ISBN: 9781843924111 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Policing and corruption are inseparable. This book argues that corruption is not one thing but covers many deviant and criminal practices in policing which also shift over time. It rejects the 'bad apple' metaphor and focuses on 'bad orchards', meaning not individual but institutional failure. For in policing the organisation, work and culture foster can encourage corruption. This raises issues as to why do police break the law and, crucially, 'who controls the controllers'?

Shoot to Kill: Police Accountability, Firearms and Fatal Force
ISBN: 9781847424730 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes at London's Stockwell tube station in 2005 raised acute issues about the operational practice, legitimacy, accountability, and policy-making regarding police use of fatal force. It dramatically exposed a policy - amounting to "shoot to kill" - which came not from Parliament, but from the non-statutory ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers). This vital and timely book unravels these complex and often misunderstood matters, and it provides a fresh and much-needed overview of the UK's firearms practice and policy in a traditionally "unarmed" police...

The period in Northern Ireland known as 'the Troubles' (1968-98) seemed to have been conclusively ended by the official peace process. But recent violence from dissident Republicans shows that tensions from the past remain unresolved.
"State Violence, Collusion and the Troubles" reveals disturbing unanswered questions about the use of state violence during this period. Maurice Punch documents in chilling detail how the British government turned to desperate, illegal measures in a time of crisis, disregarding domestic and international law. He broadens out his analysis to consider other... The period in Northern Ireland known as 'the Troubles' (1968-98) seemed to have been conclusively ended by the official peace process.

Progressive Retreat: A Sociological Study of Dartington Hall School 1926-1957 and Some of Its Former Pupils
ISBN: 9780521134842 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In 1926, Leonard and Dorothy Elmhirst founded Dartington Hall School. Next to Summerhill it was the most influential and important independent school in England when this book was published in 1977. As such it represents a rich vein of alternative education sponsored by middle-class liberal intellectuals in an attempt to escape the orthodoxy of state educational provision. Yet, little evidence existed as to whether these experimental ventures actually worked or even how they might be evaluated. This book represents a fresh attempt to apply explicitly sociological methods to these questions....

Zero Tolerance Policing
ISBN: 9781847420558 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What is policing about and who defines it? This book examines these key issues by exploring the notion of zero tolerance and its application in different settings. Following its introduction in New York, and the seemingly dramatic reduction in crime, zero tolerance policing was taken up in a number of other countries, including the UK and the Netherlands. This book examines that process. It argues that this policy was, in fact, nothing more than a return to old-style, crime control policing. While it did foster the swift analysis of crime patterns and more assertive policing of public places,...

ISBN: 9781447326915 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Studies of policing tend to focus on effectiveness on what works rather than on the more important question of 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 United States, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands, with a special emphasis on the dilemmas faced by police leadership as they confront change."
