Policing Liberal Society (O P U S)

Are the police crime fighters, guardians of the law, social workers, or protectors of our collective ideas about what constitutes "normal," "moral," and "social" behavior? Uglow here draws upon extended research to outline the historical development of the police force in Britain, the changes in its established role, and its ambiguous relationship with the law, the state, and the community. Uglow then offers suggestions for promoting a more responsible and effective police force in today's complex society.Uglow, Steve is the author of 'Policing Liberal Society (O P U S)', published 1988 under ISBN 9780192192226 and ISBN 0192192221.
