Book Synopsis The Police and Social Conflict by : Nigel Fielding
Download or read book The Police and Social Conflict written by Nigel Fielding and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policing remains one of the most controversial areas of criminal justice. Recent years have seen major changes in every aspect of policing: new constructions of the police mission, new ways of delivering police services and new arrangements for police accountability. The police have had to respond to international terrorism, international organized crime, the new faces of migration and asylum, globalization and the reconstitution of societies in the post-Communist and Islamic world. This completely revised second edition argues that through these changes enduring and fundamental divisions can be traced. The book is relevant to those studying criminology, police studies, sociology, social policy and law, wherever their interests touch on the police.

Book Synopsis Policing Post-Conflict Cities by : Alice Hills
Download or read book Policing Post-Conflict Cities written by Alice Hills and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-06-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How and why does order emerge after conflict? What does it mean in the context of the twenty-first century post-colonial city? From Kabul, Kigali and Kinshasa to Baghdad and Basra, people, abandoned by the state, make their own rules.With security increasingly ghettoised, survival becomes a matter of manipulation and hustling. In this book, Alice Hills discusses the interface between order and security. While analysts and donors emphasise security, Hills argues that order is much more meaningful for people's lives. Focusing on the police as both providers of order and a measure of its success, the book shows that order depends more on what has gone before than on reconstruction efforts and that tension is inevitable as donors attempt to reform brutal local policing. Policing Post-Conflict Cities provides a powerful critique of the failure of liberal orthodoxy to understand the meaning of order.

Book Synopsis Policing the Police by : Benjamin L. Snyder
Download or read book Policing the Police written by Benjamin L. Snyder and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper tests models of coercive social control that are theoretically grounded in general group conflict theory and specific minority threat hypotheses. These theories assert that higher levels of minority presence and overall economic inequality will predict higher levels of social control even when other environmental factors (including crime rates) are held constant. The use of pooled time series cross-sectional data allows for the first longitudinal analysis of police homicides as a social control outcome, which produces mixed findings on racial and economic threats. As in previous research, purely economic conflict predictions find little support while racial threat hypotheses are at least partially substantiated. As part of this same analysis, police homicides and police force size are compared based on their empirical and theoretical strengths as social control outcome variables. This ultimately raises important challenges to the continued use of the police homicide variable in future conflict and minority threat research.

Book Synopsis Race and Policing in America by : Ronald Weitzer
Download or read book Race and Policing in America written by Ronald Weitzer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-06-12 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Race and Policing in America is about relations between police and citizens, with a focus on racial differences. It utilizes both the authors' own research and other studies to examine Americans' opinions, preferences, and personal experiences regarding the police. Guided by group-position theory and using both existing studies and the authors' own quantitative and qualitative data (from a nationally representative survey of whites, blacks, and Hispanics), this book examines the roles of personal experience, knowledge of others' experiences (vicarious experience), mass media reporting on the police, and neighborhood conditions (including crime and socioeconomic disadvantage) in structuring citizen views in four major areas: overall satisfaction with police in one's city and neighborhood, perceptions of several types of police misconduct, perceptions of police racial bias and discrimination, and evaluations of and support for a large number of reforms in policing.
Book Synopsis Conflict of Interest in Policing by : Cindy Davids
Download or read book Conflict of Interest in Policing written by Cindy Davids and published by Institute of Criminology. This book was released on 2008 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflict of interest allegations have become a prominent part of the landscape of political and public sector ethics in Australia and overseas. The arena of policing has not been immune from this problem and this book is based on unique and unfettered access to ten years of internal investigation files held by Victoria Police. Through detailed analysis of actual complaint cases it gives the reader a comprehensive map by which to chart the particular kinds of interests involved, the nature of conflicts with official police duties, and the particular contexts from which conflicts of interest emerge. The book examines conflicts of interest across the private and public realm of the everyday lives of police officers. The author outlines how the problem of conflict of interest is an important aspect of police ethics, arguing that recognition of, and accountability for, conflict of interest may be a significant element in preventing upstream police misconduct and corruption. Conflict of Interest in Policing seeks to provide a conceptual and practical understanding of how integrity and trust must be integrated into the profession of policing through processes of active responsibility, rather than more traditional passive obedience to prescriptive rules.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Law Enforcement by : Alan Edward Bent
Download or read book The Politics of Law Enforcement written by Alan Edward Bent and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of urban police and their interest in obtaining power as individuals within the organization and collectively within the community. Urban society, beset by increases in crime and violence and the growing irrelevancy of primary socializing agents, must look to the police, the institutionalized control agency, for the preservation of peace, order, and tranquility in the community. The dilemma of a democratic society is how to give the police sufficient power to perform their role effectively, while at the same time maintaining restraints on the police in order to prevent abuses to democratic principles. This book looks at the discretionary conduct of policemen and whether adequate accountability measures exist -- and, if not, whether they can be realized, while allowing for the necessary development of police capabilities in the performance of requisite functions. In its focus on the behavior of police officials and the relationship of the police bureaucracy to the urban political system, the work strives to be both descriptive and prescriptive. The author uses examples from a cross-section of American cities and focuses on Memphis, Tennessee to illustrate the political events and social factors which effect policing. Collective police power is measured by the extent of their discretionary authority and freedom from external controls, individual power is perceived by the rational strategies on the part of police officials striving to attain or consolidate their personal power positions in the organization. Implicit in the police's struggle for power -- both personal and collective -- is the existence of conflict with challenging institutional and environmental forces and actors.

Book Synopsis Conflict, Politics and Crime by : Chris Cunneen
Download or read book Conflict, Politics and Crime written by Chris Cunneen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aboriginal people are grossly over-represented before the courts and in our gaols. Despite numerous inquiries, State and Federal, and the considerable funds spent trying to understand this phenomenon, nothing has changed. Indigenous people continue to be apprehended, sentenced, incarcerated and die in gaols. One part of this depressing and seemingly inexorable process is the behaviour of police. Drawing on research from across Australia, Chris Cunneen focuses on how police and Aboriginal people interact in urban and rural environments. He explores police history and police culture, the nature of Aboriginal offending and the prevalence of over-policing, the use of police discretion, the particular circumstances of Aboriginal youth and Aboriginal women, the experience of community policing and the key police responses to Aboriginal issues. He traces the pressures on both sides of the equation brought by new political demands. In exploring these issues, Conflict, Politics and Crime argues that changing the nature of contemporary relations between Aboriginal people and the police is a key to altering Aboriginal over-representation in the criminal justice system, and a step towards the advancement of human rights.
