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.
