At the heart of policing is a tension. On the one hand, police in liberal democratic societies are custodians of the state's monopoly of legitimate force. On the other, they wield that authority over citizens with rights.Policing Citizens is an unsentimental, comprehensive and sometimes radical analysis of policing throughout the modern world. P. A. J. Waddington demonstrates how many of the issues surrounding the police in recent years - from paramilitarism to community policing - have their origins in the fundamentals of the police role: fundamentals that are that are rarely acknowledged and poorly understood.
This book provides an accessible overview of the now voluminous literature on the police and policing, enlivened by copious real-life examples. Based on extensive research by an author with an established reputation in police research, Policing Citizens will be the definitive textbook for the next decade, for students of criminology and police studies. less
