What Matters in Policing?: Change, Values and Leadership in Turbulent Times

by Maurice Punch, Auke van Dijk, Frank Hoogewoning

Studies of policing tend to focus on effectiveness--on what works--rather than on the more important question of what matters, of why policing should be done in particular ways or reformed or restructured. This book explores that angle, looking at the implications of recent restructurings in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands, with a special emphasis on the dilemmas faced by police leadership as they confront change.
