Bringing together a range of leading scholars and drawing on a range of pressing topics, it introduces the diverse nature of policing research, and the ethical and practical challenges faced by policing researchers. Each chapter brings clarity to the concept of empirical research within policing, introduces readers to the theoretical explanations and assumptions that underpin the rational of research design in policing, as well as considering the limitations of research.

Such inquiry must apply quantitative and qualitative analysis to explain formal social control in democratic societies. This second edition continues the pursuit of broadening the knowledge base of policing introducing chapters rooted in theory, method and the practicalities of policing, an often-delicate balance. In this volume, notable police scholars examine policing from inside the occupation, and externally as to the impacts of policing, as well as efforts to transition and transform the police. The breadth of the volume is a refreshing contribution to understanding this complex institution, simultaneously charged with formal social control, yet under the constraint of rule of law. The volume will be well received by academics and police practitioners”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJack R.

Through a series of fascinating case studies, this second edition of Introduction to Policing Research celebrates that kaleidoscope of work by bringing alive the challenges, pitfalls and joys of research. Leading national and international policing scholars introduce readers to a variety of traditional and innovative research methodologies set within the important context of research design, ethics, limitations and impact. The editors should be commended because not only will this book be an invaluable resource for students, practitioners and researchers alike but is also testament to the very healthy state of policing research going into the future”. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Sarah Charman, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eProfessor of Criminology at the University of Portsmouth\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Both the conduct of policing and the ways it is researched have been evolving and adapting rapidly in recent years.
