Description
Book SynopsisEncapsulating new policing developments under the Coalition, this book examines the major reform proposals and reports brought in since May 2010, including the Winsor Report, and analyses what these changes mean for the future of policing in England and Wales.
Trade ReviewThere is much to be gained from a close reading of Brain's book, not least a deeper understanding of the contours of recent developments in policing in recent decades. As a former chief constable with academic credentials, Brain writes with authority and insider status. The certainty that characterises many senior police officers is evident, balanced with academic rigour and good style. The book, I predict, will be valued as much as a history and analysis of the present as a forecast of possible futures. * Rob C. Mawby, The Howard Journal of Criminal Justice *
