Description

"Police Street Powers and Criminal Justice analyses the utilisation, regulation and legitimacy of police powers.

They argue that change is a dominant feature of policing and identify fragmented responses to law and policy reform, varying between police stations, across different policing roles, and between senior and frontline ranks"--
