"Police Community Support Officers: Cultures and Identities within Pluralised Policing presents the first in-depth ethnographic study of Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) since the creation of the role in 2002. Situated within the tradition of police ethnographies, this text examines the working worlds of uniformed patrol support staff in two English police forces. Based on over 350 hours of direct observation and 33 interviews with PCSOs and police constables in both urban and rural contexts, Police Community Support Officers offers a detailed analysis of the operational and cultural realities of pluralised policing from within. Using a dramaturgic framework, the author finds that PCSOs have been undermined by their own organisations from the beginning, which has left a lasting legacy in terms of their relationships and interactions with police officer colleagues. The implications of this for police cultures, community policing approaches and the success of pluralisation are examined. The author argues that while PCSOs can have similar occupational experiences to constables, their particular circumstances have led to a unique occupational culture, one which has implications for existing police culture theories. The book considers these findings in light of budget reductions and police reforms occurring across the sector, processes in which PCSOs are particularly vulnerable." -- Publisher's description.

Depolicing—the withdrawal from proactive law enforcement by officers on the line—has become an increasing concern within both police departments and the communities that they serve. Willard Oliver, a former policeman himself, draws on extensive interviews with officers in a variety of jurisdictions to explore how prevalent depolicing has become, why officers engage in it, and what can be done to minimize it. With officer behavior under more and more intense scrutiny, Depolicing is a uniquely important contribution to ongoing debates.

Met het begrip ‘legitimiteit van de politie’ wordt de mate van vertrouwen die burgers in de politie hebben en het gezag dat zij aan deze organisatie toekennen, uitgedrukt. Het begrip kent feitelijke elementen (zowel vertrouwen hebben in, accepteren van, als betrouwbaar beoordelen) en normatieve elementen (vinden dat de politie functioneert zoals het hoort en gerechtvaardigd optreedt). Een politie die een grote mate van legitimiteit kent, wordt beter gehoorzaamd en hoeft minder gewelds- en machtsmiddelen in te zetten omdat ze kan volstaan met overtuigen. Er is de politie dan ook veel aan gelegen te zorgen dat ze legitiem functioneert. In dit themanummer gaan we in op de legitimiteit van politie in het algemeen: hoe is het gesteld met de legitimiteit van de politie in België en Nederland? Hoe is de legitimiteitstoekenning gespreid over delen van de bevolking? Verder gaan we in op bepaalde vormen van optreden door de politie (bv. procedureel rechtvaardig optreden) en factoren die een impact kunnen hebben op de legitimiteitstoekenning door de burger (bv. maatschappelijke ontwikkelingen, corruptie/schandalen, selectiviteit, gebruik van geweld).

Camera Power is the first book to tackle the policy questions raised by two ongoing revolutions in recording the police: copwatching and police-worn body cameras. Drawing on original research from over 200 jurisdictions and more than 100 interviews - with police leaders and officers, copwatchers, community members, civil rights and civil liberties experts, industry leaders, and technologists - Mary D. Fan offers a vision of the great potential and perils of the growing deluge of audiovisual big data. In contrast to the customary portrayal of big data mining as a threat to civil liberties, Camera Power describes how audiovisual big data analytics can better protect civil rights and liberties and prevent violence in police encounters. With compelling stories and coverage of the most important debates over privacy, public disclosure, proof, and police regulation, this book should be read by anyone interested in how technology is reshaping the relationship with our police.
