Relates key advances in management and organisation theory to
policing in Britain and America. Looks at the policing problems
from the point of view of those who have the responsibility for
managing police organisations. Examines the role of management in the
police service, and identifies the major problems and dilemmas faced by
police managers and provides an analysis of these together with an
evaluation of present systems of accountability and control of the
police. Draws upon theories and works from the sociology of policing,
constitutional law, criminology, management theory and organisational
behaviour. Reviews the issues attendant upon the relationship between
police
bureaucracy, local and central government, the criminal justice system
and the wider policed community.
