Reviews

Policing People is a timely and thought-provoking exploration of how background characteristics and occupational attitudes shape the culture, practices, and challenges of modern policing. Drawing upon extensive research, Toby Miles-Johnson unpacks the complex ways in which officers’ identities, experiences, and workplace environments influence decision-making, stress, resilience, and relationships within the communities they serve. This book should be essential reading for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers who are grappling with questions of bias, diversity, inclusion, and professionalism in contemporary policing. By bridging theory and practice, Policing People provides both a rigorous academic analysis and a roadmap for creating more equitable, accountable, and effective policing. Policing People is not only a significant scholarly contribution, but also a vital resource for anyone committed to rethinking recruitment, training, and organisational culture to build trust between police and the public. * Adrian Leiva, Western Sydney University *
