More About the Author
Product Description
Review
'Set to become the new student text xxx; Here is a historian whose knowledge of English policing history over the whole of the period is second to none.' British Journal of Criminology
Product Description
A comprehensive history of policing from the eighteenth century onwards, which draws on largely unused police archives. Clive Emsley addresses all the major issues of debate; he explores the impact of legislation and policy at both national and local levels, and considers the claim that the English police were non-political and free from political control. In the final section, he looks at the changing experience of police life. Established as a standard introduction to the subject on its first appearance, the Second Edition has been substantially revised and is now published under the Longman imprint for the first time.

Format:Paperback
This is a very skillfully written book. I thought my knowledge of the Police was reasonable good but this book has given me considerable food for thought.
It should be made essential reading for those who wish to tinker with the Operational control of the Police, be they Members of the Police Authorities or our elected Members of Parliaments. As the book highlights the dilemma that many Head/Chief Constables have suffered over the years with Watch Committees. For me it established that as the Police should remain apolitical; policing should NOT be in the bear-pit of politics. It is far too important FOR ALL OF US for that.
To those Students of Criminology or Social Sciences it is a Good Frame of reference as its author has an academic background and some how he has been able to remain netural and unbasised in his writing.
His referencing is exhaustive and there are many of his sources that I intend to read over the next few weeks.
