Police Work: Principles and Practice

This book provides a highly readable account of police work. It builds upon the same authors¿ Introduction to Police Work to provide a comprehensive, in depth and critical understanding of policing in today¿s diverse society. Police Work: principles and practice meets the need for an increasingly sophisticated and professional approach to training within the police, whether this is carried out within police forces themselves or within higher education institutions. It will be especially appropriate for those on probationer training programmes. At the same time it will be a valuable resource for students taking courses in policing and criminology more generally where an advanced level of understanding of the nature of police work is required.
