Police and Crime Commissioners: The Transformation of Police Accountability
Autor Bryn Caless, Jane Owensen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 mar 2016
Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) are elected representatives whose role is to ensure that police forces in England and Wales are running effectively. Intended to bring a public voice to policing and hold the police to account, this controversial role also controls budgets and strategic planning.
Drawing on unprecedented access to PCCs and their chief officer teams, Bryn Caless and Jane Owens performed confidential interviews with both sides and reveal in this book the innermost workings of PCCs’ relationships with the police, media, partners, and the public. The authors also analyze the election process (in which some PCCs have been elected by the lowest voter turnout ever in the United Kingdom) and consider the future of this politically contested role. Amid ongoing international debates over police accountability, this fascinating look at the impact of PCCs on policing will be essential reading for PCCs themselves, chief officers, police officers, and police trainers, as well as academics, students, and researchers in criminology and policing.

Recenzii
“Caless and Owens are to be congratulated on this rich and incisive analysis of Police and Crime Commissioners—a groundbreaking account of great value to scholars of policing and governance alike.”
"Caless and Owens provide a depth of narrative that is rich and reminiscent."
“This fascinating account gives a unique insight into what Commissioners and their Chief Constables were thinking, and what went on behind closed doors, in those early months of PCCs.”
“This book is the most extensive and in-depth empirical study of Police and Crime Commissioners conducted to date. It provides fascinating insight into how these new constitutional actors are flexibly interpreting and discretely adapting to their responsibilities for governing the police.”
