Police training in Europe on ethnic relations Robin Oakley, Police Journal Vol LXVIII no 4 1995 pp325-332. Based on a survey of member states of the Council of Europe.

All change please Grania Langdon-Down. Police Review 29.9.95 pp17-18. This piece is based on research by the University of Wales and argues that "measures such as surveillance, intelligence and informants could only make a significant contribution to crime control if the force rearranged its entire organisational structure to give officers new and distinct roles."

A "pagan nightmare" Paul Cotton. "Never again" Sarah Gibbons, Police Review 6.10.95 pp16-18 & 20-21. In the first piece a former Met police officer recalls his experiences during the riot at Broadwater Farm Tottenham in October 1985; the second presents an update. The tone of the pieces can be measured by the extraordinary claim that "our police force...had never uttered a racist remark in what was probably the largest race riot in the UK".

Invite to a nicking Simon Weigold. Police Review 24.11.95. pp22- 23. A police sergeant from south Yorkshire gloats over "Operation Trick or Treat" where wanted individuals were lured to an address ostensibly for a marketing launch and arrested.
