Description
New Zealand police had a challenging task in the second half of the twentieth century. Society was changing rapidly, with growing urbanization, increasing multi-culturalism, and changes in gender roles, as well as a growth in crime and rising public dissent. Keeping the peace required flexibility and good organization. Immediately after the World War II, the police were in a sorry state. They were short on resources and antiquated in their systems. As a result, the period covered by this book saw major change and modernization. The author explores the ways in which the police have overhauled their management structure repeatedly since the 1940s and shows how they have often struggled to position themselves within the modern public sector.
