Product Description

Product Description

This analysis of policing throughout the modern world demonstrates how many of the contentious issues surrounding the police in recent years - from paramilitarism to community policing - have their origins in the fundamentals of the police role. The author argues that this results from a fundamental tension within this role. In liberal democratic societies, police are custodians of the state's monopoly of legitimate force, yet they also wield authority over citizens who have their own set of rights.

1.0 out of 5 stars It takes a bully to write about bullies, 11 Mar 2001
By Dr. Andrew Williams "AW37" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Policing Citizens (Paperback)
This book is worthless!! The author treats his readers with contempt,by simply providing us with an justification - and ultimately a raisond'etre - for the police 'force'. It appears to me that this is more apersonal book than an academic one. ...In short, he is engaging instandard techniques of neutralization. The book in itself offers thinrationales for the 21st century 'need' of the police force, and iseffectively a chance for Mr Waddington to catch up with some oldfriends. Social science can be a fantastic subject, but not when itsabused like this. Anyone who buys this book should ask for their moneyback! END
