Product description

From the Back Cover

Core Issues in Policing has quickly established itself as one of the leading academic books on policing in the UK. The book is ideal for those studying policing per se or as a part of wider studies in criminology and criminal justice. Written and edited by a team of nationally and internationally regarded academic specialists and senior police officers, this fully revised and expanded second edition offers a unique perspective on contemporary policing, with new contributions on such cutting-edge issues as accountability, policy making, police and the media, the core functions debate, transnational dimensions, policing drugs and 'cop culture'. In addition, a broader introduction and futures focus add to its value both as a course textbook and a useful resource for policing researchers and practitioners.

Core Issues in Policing is suitable for students on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in criminology and criminal justice where policing or police studies is an option. It will also appeal to students studying policing as part of law, sociology, social policy, public order, crime prevention and security management courses. New police service recruits following the National Certificate of Higher Education in Police Studies qualification will also find this book invaluable.

The editors

Frank Leishman, Principal Lecturer in Criminology, Southampton Institute,
