The fifth edition of the popular and highly acclaimed The Politics of the Police has been completely revised, expanded, and updated to take in recent changes in the law, policy, and organization of policing.

Benjamin Bowling, Robert Reiner, and James Sheptycki, regarded as leading figures in the field, draw upon the findings of police research to provide readers with a stimulating and insightful discussion of the debates and controversies that surround the police, and analyse the proposals for reform.

Covering a wide range of empirical and theoretical issues, this book is transnational in scope and reflects the growing diversity of policing forms in today's globalized world.

KEY FEATURES:

Four new chapters on: theories and models of police and policing; the establishment and diffusion of the modern police from the French Revolution to the 20th century; the pluralisation of policing; the politics of global policing.
The chapter on media and policing has been entirely rewritten, moving beyond a focus on the content of representations of policing to encompass analysis of the significance of media technologies.
The chapter on the police role, justice and effectiveness has been split into two new completely revised chapter.
