Book Description

Publication Date: November 1994 | ISBN-10: 1856284883 | ISBN-13: 978-1856284882

This work examines the different models of police accountability that were implemented in the 1980s. Based on research carried out in Manchester, the work discusses local government efforts to construct a new social contract between the police and the community. The research is considered within the wider theoretical debates about the nature of participatory democracy. The conclusion argues that there is an urgent need to confront the complexities of constructing satisfactory police-community relations in Britain's inner cities. It evaluates whether the present reorganization of policing will lead to a more accountable police service.
