Summary

Fundamental Change andPolicy Innovation in Policing through the Eyes of International Police LeadersWhile observers' opinions of ongoing developments in policing are well known, it is rare to get a glimpse of how police leaders themselves assess these changes. Through in-depth and exceptionally thoughtful interviews with highly placed police leaders and administrators, this text presents cross-cultural perspectives on the organizational structure, leadership, functions, public projects, training, culture, and societal context of police worldwide. Connecting theory to practice, this impressive group addresses fundamental contextual changes that are adding layers of complexity to their work, and in examining current trends, discusses the future role of police in a world void of traditional international boundaries.A Wide Ranging Spectrum Connecting Theory to PracticeCovering an extensive range, the interviews include the experiences, opinions,and preferences of men and women, who, individually, and as a group, possess a vast array of knowledge pertaining to the problems and prospects of policing, derived from their work and careers. These are also men and women of great common sense, well-versed in academic policy and procedure, with a grounded familiarity with international developments and comparative police work. Through these discussions with those actively engaged in policing, this book bridges the gap between research and practice. It allows practitioners to express their concerns, while providing researchers with the opportunity to discover how the officers view their own work.
