How does society hold its police to account? It's a vital part of
upholding law and liberty but changing modes of policing delivery and
new technologies call for fresh thinking about the way we guard our
guards. This much-needed new book from leading criminology professor
Michael Rowe, part of the 'Key Themes in Policing' series, explores
issues of governance, discipline and transparency. The landmark new
study: - Showcases how social change and rising inequalities make it
more difficult to ensure meaningful accountability; - Addresses the
impact of Evidence-Based Policing strategies on the direction and
control of officers; - Sets out a game-changing agenda for ensuring
democratic and answerable policing. For policing students and
practitioners, it's an essential guide to modern-day accountability.
