The wide range of topics in this collection explores what is changing, what is known about the impact of these changes, and what leaders and managers now need to be able to do or anticipate as a consequence. Operational policing now embraces new models of "partnership" and "community" to manage crime and disorder. Equally, while command and control models are still an essential of many aspects of policing, managing police officers and staff increasingly depends on their professional development and encouraging enthusiasm and innovation. Policing takes place under conditions of intense scrutiny from the media and from the community, and crime and disorder is the subject of much political debate. The volume is aimed at every level of management and leadership in policing, as well as researchers and students. |
