- Summary
- "This third edition of the popular and highly acclaimed Politics of the Police has been completely revised and updated to take account of recent and profound changes in the law, policy, and organization of policing. The Police and Magistrates' Courts Act 1994, the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, the Police Act 1996, and Crime and Disorder Act 1998 have all had a major impact on policing in the UK during this period. The social and political context has also changed dramatically - not least with the election of a Labour government after eighteen years of Conservative rule. All these factors have led to a profound shift in the nature of policing."--Jacket.
