Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes at Stockwell underground station in 2005 raised acute issues about operational practice, legitimacy, accountability and policy making regarding police use of fatal force.It dramatically exposed a policy, referred to popularly as 'shoot to kill', which came not from Parliament but from the non-statutory ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers). This vital and timely book unravels these often misunderstood matters with a fresh look at firearms practice and policy in a traditionally 'unarmed' police service. It is essential reading for all those interested in the state's role in defining coercion and in policing a democracy. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Policing and corruption are inseparable. This book argues that corruption is not one thing but covers many deviant and criminal practices in policing which also shift over time. It rejects the 'bad apple' metaphor and focuses on 'bad orchards', meaning not individual but institutional failure. For in policing the organisation, work and culture foster can encourage corruption. This raises issues as to why do police break the law and, crucially, 'who controls the controllers'? Corruption is defined in a broad, multi-facetted way. It concerns abuse of authority and trust; and it takes serious form in conspiracies to break the law and to evade exposure when cops can become criminals. Attention is paid to typologies of corruption (with grass-eaters, meat-eaters, noble-cause); the forms corruption takes in diverse environments; the pathways officers take into corruption and their rationalisations; and to collusion in corruption from within and without the organization. Comparative analyses are made of corruption, scandal and reform principally in the USA, UK and the Netherlands. The work examines issues of control, accountability and the new institutions of oversight. It provides a fresh, accessible overview of this under-researched topic for students, academics, police and criminal justice officials and members of oversight agencies.…

Slight wear to spine, covers, corners and dustjacket.; "Maurice Punch's 'Policing the Inner City: A Study of Amsterdam's Warmoesstraat' is a seminal work that explores the complexities of law enforcement in a challenging urban environment. Published in the late 1970s, Punch's study focuses on the Warmoesstraat, a street in the heart of Amsterdam's Red Light District, known for its high crime rates, drug trade, and vibrant nightlife. The book provides a detailed, ethnographic account of the daily work and challenges faced by police officers operating in this area, offering insights into the broader issues of policing in inner cities. Punch employs a sociological lens to examine the interactions between the police and the community, including the various subcultures present in the Warmoesstraat. He delves into the strategies and tactics used by the police to maintain order, manage conflicts, and navigate the moral and ethical dilemmas inherent in policing such a unique area. The study highlights the tension between the need for law enforcement to adapt to the specific conditions of the inner city and the pressures to adhere to conventional policing models. One of the key themes of the book is the concept of 'negotiated order,' where police officers and local inhabitants, including criminals and business owners, engage in a constant process of negotiation to establish a balance between order and chaos. Punch argues that this negotiation is crucial for understanding the dynamics of policing in areas with high levels of social complexity and deviance. 'Policing the Inner City' also critically examines the impact of broader societal attitudes towards crime, policing, and urban decay, questioning the effectiveness of traditional policing methods in addressing the root causes of crime in inner-city areas. Punch suggests that a more nuanced, community-oriented approach may be necessary to effectively manage the challenges of policing urban centers like the Warmoesstraat. This book is considered a classic in the field of criminology and sociology, contributing valuable empirical data and theoretical insights into urban policing. It is widely used in academic courses related to criminal justice, urban studies, and sociology, and remains relevant for those interested in understanding the complexities of policing diverse and dynamic urban communities."; Octavo; xii, 231 pages.…
