The Police in Society

By Ben Whitaker

Book Overview

In the 1970s uncertainties about the exact nature of the police's role in a democracy multiplied. In this title, first published in 1979, Whitaker perceptively, critically yet impartially, analyses the effectiveness, sociology, misconduct, and future of the police suggesting radical reforms in their powers and relationship with the public.
