<br/><br/> Core Issues in Policing has quickly established itself as one of the leading academic books on policing in the UK. The book is ideal for those studying policing per se or as part of wider studies in criminology and criminal justice.  Written and edited by a team of nationally and internationally regarded academic specialists and senior police officers, this fully revised and expanded second edition offers a unique perspective on contemporary policy, with new contributions on such cutting-edge issues as accountability, policy making, police and the media, the core functions debate, transnational dimensions, policing drug and 'cop culture'.  In addition, a broader introduction and focus on the future add to its value, both as a course textbook and a useful resource for researchers and practitioners ... [This book] is suitable for students on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in criminology and criminal justice where policing or police studies is an option. - Back cover
