Based on confidential interviews with a large number of chief police officers, Policing at the Top presents a revealing analysis of these important figures in British society. Bryan Caless provides a cross-section of this often neglected occupation as well as a broad introduction to the process of becoming a senior police officer and the expectations, pitfalls, and challenges of leadership. With security and safety issues of paramount concern to all citizens, this topical book offers a vital glimpse into the minds of those who exert a profound influence over how society deals with crime, disaffection, and marginalization.

Recenzii

Having known Bryn Caless for many years, I knew, on hearing he was putting pen to paper, that the reader would be in for a thoroughly researched and thought provoking examination of policing at the top". You won't be disappointed. Whether scholar, commentator, police professional or interested observer, this book will prove a fascinating read and a welcome addition to this area of study." Jim Barker-McCardle, Chief Constable, Essex Police

A revealing, rigorous insight into the lives and perspectives of contemporary chief police officers. It reports on interviews with nearly a hundred of today's chiefs, and features their own accounts of their experiences and problems. A valuable and fascinating contribution to the understanding of 21st century policing as seen by those responsible for shaping its current and future practices. Robert Reiner, London School of Economics
