James Nolan is Professor and Chair of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at West Virginia University, USA. His recent research focuses on neighborhood dynamics and policing.
Frank Crispino is Director of the Forensic Science Research Group at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, Canada, and regular researcher of the International Center for Comparative Criminology.
Timothy Parsons is Visiting Lecturer in Police Studies at Liverpool John Moores University, UK. He served 30 years with the City of London Police and has lectured on the topics of policing, police reform, Islamism and violent extremism in 25 countries advising both police forces and national governments.
This book tackles the contentious issue of policing in an age of controversy and uncertainty. It is a timely book written by police scholars - predominantly former practitioners from Europe, Australia and North America - who draw from their own research and operational experiences to illuminate key issues relating to police reform in the present day. While acknowledging some relevance of usual proposed models, such as problem-solving, evidence-based policing and procedural justice, the contributors provide an insider look at a variety of perspectives and approaches to police reform which have emerged in recent decades. It invites university students, criminologists, social scientists, police managers, forensic scientists to question and adapt their perspectives on a broad range of topics such as community policing, hate crime, Islamic radicalisation, neighborhood dynamics, situational policing, antidiscrimination and civil society, police ethics, performance measures, and advances in forensic science, technology, intelligence and more in an accessible and comprehensive manner.
Examines the purpose of policing in contemporary society, with rapidly changing policing challenges
