Table of ContentsReviews-An excellent addition to what is a now sizeable literature on the democratic oversight of modern policing. Given its authors--two of the world's authorities on the subject--it will be no surprise that this is a stimulating, wide-ranging and original treatise. Scholars and students alike, in whichever country they may be working, will find Governing the Police invaluable.- --Tim Newburn, London School of Economics, UK -Governing the Police examines the working relationship between the top police executive and their political bosses in six English-speaking democracies. ... Bayley and Stenning do a remarkable job of providing insight and understanding into these complex relationships. They have analyzed the various mechanisms that have been established to solve this problem in the countries studied and none of them seem to offer a fully satisfactory solution. Governing the Police makes an important contribution to our understanding of this complex issue and should be read by both chiefs and politicians.- --Darrel Stephens, executive director, Major Cities Chiefs Association -Bayley and Stenning have made an original contribution to the comparative study of policing in democratic societies. Police studies have long been too parochial, with an absence of examinations of which features of governing the police are common among all democracies and which features are unique to particular countries. Governing the Police focuses on the day-to-day tensions between proper public direction of law enforcement agencies and illegitimate political interference.- --Samuel Walker, University of Nebraska at Omaha An excellent addition to what is a now sizeable literature on the democratic oversight of modern policing.
