Introduction to Policing Research: Taking Lessons from Practice

Editat de Mark Brunger, Denise Martin, Stephen Tong
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 noi 2015
The expansion of degrees and postgraduate qualifications on policing has come hand in hand with the need for a more scholarly and research-based approach to the subject. Students are increasingly encouraged to apply research to practice and this book is specifically designed to bring clarity to the concept of empirical research in policing.

As an introduction to the theoretical explanations and assumptions that underpin the rationale of research design in policing, this book clearly illustrates the practical and ethical issues facing empirical research in a policing context, as well as the limitations of such research. Introduction to Policing Research brings together a range of leading scholars who have a wide range of experience conducting police research. Topics covered include:
  • professional development,
  • police culture,
  • policing protests,
  • private policing,
  • policing and diversity,
  • policing in transition,
  • policing and mental health,
  • policing and sensitive issues.
This book is perfect for undergraduate and graduate students on policing degrees, as well as graduate students and researchers engaged with criminal justice. It is also essential reading for police officers taking professional and academic qualifications.

Recenzii

‘The highly-regarded　researchers contributing to this book provide personal, critical insights into the hazards and rewards of researching the police. Their case studies are a rich source of practical, technical　and ethical advice when　solving　problems　such as　gaining access, choosing appropriate methods, handling sensitive subject matter and negotiating publication of results. Especially effective is the discussion of the value and pitfalls of evidence -based practice and the professionalization of policing and police. This collection is　an invaluable resource for those　who commission,　undertake or apply the results of research endeavours.’
Jennifer Brown, Co-Director of the Mannheim Centre for Criminology and Criminal justice, Visiting Professor, London School of Economics, UK
‘At a time when the relationship between research evidence and the practice of policing is in the spotlight, this book is a very valuable and insightful contribution. With chapters written by leading policing scholars who know from direct experience the challenges and rewards of undertaking policing research, this book manages to offer a breadth of coverage and a depth of analysis which all those working in this field will draw huge benefit from.’
Professor Nicholas R Fyfe, Director of the Scottish Institute for Policing Research & Associate Dean, School of Social Sciences, University of Dundee, UK
