5.0 out of 5 stars Police culture distilled empathically, April 24, 1999
By A Customer
anyone familiar with this format of book will know roughly what to expect. graef has interviewed many many police-officers, both men and women, from many districts in the UK for his book. Those who are not familiar with this kind of interview collection have been missing out.

What makes 'Talking Blues' unusual is Graef's nose for the revealing statement. these are not just people's words slapped onto pages when lurid, they tell a distinct story taken as a whole. One feels able to sympathise with the thousands of officers that walk our streets and also advise on government policy. From drunks on a Saturday night to the riots of the eighties, the police become more than anonymous figures in blue suits.

'talking Blues' is by any account an interesting read, even casually. However, its power to add colour to any study of politics, organisational/management theory, or psychology is what makes it worth tracking down.
