This book focuses on six key policing models through which contemporary policing is delivered…The content of each chapter has been thoughtfully prepared, providing a coherent account of the context, content and analysis of each of the issues that are explored…The material is prepared in a style that is highly suitable for readers who have little or no knowledge of the subject matter that is under consideration, making first-rate use of graphics and tabulated material…This truly excellent book is essential reading for all those enrolled on the police service pre-join routes but also has considerable relevance to the wider audience of criminology students taking modules in contemporary policing.
