The Politics of the Police - Softcover
A look at the history and socio-political milieu of policing in Britain, which synthesizes the growing literature on the subject. Reflecting changes since the first edition (1985), the current volume is updated, and the conclusions are revised: Reiner suggests that while diminished party polarization on policing has taken some heat off the police, continued unemployment, poverty, social conflict and the crime these beget remain serious blocks to needed organizational and cultural reforms. Includes a hefty (38 p.) bibliography. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Review:
Robert Reiner is Professor of Criminology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He is co-editor, along with Mike Maguire and Rod Morgan, of The Oxford Handbook of Criminology.
Review from previous edition: "The publication of the third edition marks an important rearticulation of the constabulary ethic and the doctrine of policing..the new encyclopaedists who follow in Reiner's wake will struggle to define the politics of policing for their time"
--James Sheptycki, Durham University in Policing and Society
"This is a first class academic book that can be as engrossing as a novel, even for a non-expert on the subject. It will be of use to anyone who comes into contact with the police regularly and aid the understanding of anyone who has an opinion on any aspect of the police or policing."
