Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a documentation of the changing trends and attitudes toward the policing of England and the reform of its police forces. The author examines the way in which the police themselves have influenced their own development, and in particular the extent to which they were able to control their own destiny. The author traces the development of the police from their origins in the 1820s through to the present day, discussing the major changes that have taken place in their role, organization, and methods of operation. The book also explores the relationship between the police and the government, and the extent to which the police have been able to maintain their independence from political interference. The author argues that the police have been able to shape their own development to a considerable extent, and that they have been successful in resisting attempts to undermine their independence. This has been due in part to the fact that the police have been able to develop a strong sense of professional identity, and that they have been able to build up a network of support among the public. The book concludes by arguing that the police are now facing a number of challenges, including the rise of new forms of crime and the increasing demands of the public for accountability. However, the author is optimistic that the police will be able to meet these challenges and continue to play a vital role in the maintenance of law and order.
