What Matters in Policing?: Change, Values and Leadership in Turbulent Times
Autor Auke van Dijk, Frank Hoogewoning, Maurice Punchen Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 aug 2015
Studies of policing tend to focus on effectiveness—on what works—rather than on the more important question of what matters, of why policing should be done in particular ways or reformed or restructured. This book explores that angle, looking at the implications of recent restructurings in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands, with a special emphasis on the dilemmas faced by police leadership as they confront change.

Recenzii
“The police forces of the Netherlands and United Kingdom are undergoing convulsive changes. If those changes are to be effectively directed in a more uncertain and demanding world, this book provides a compelling case and roadmap for police leadership and its development, whatever the country.”
“A persuasive, penetrating, and insightful glimpse, through the lens of leadership, into how two influential police systems in countries with very different histories are repositioning themselves within the ‘rough waters’ of security governance.”
“An insightful and valuable piece that should be an essential preparation for aspiring senior police and a reminder for serving leaders.”
