Description
Contemporary policing faces many challenges, is developing rapidly and has become increasingly professionalised, with a new emphasis on skills, standards and knowledge via new National Occupational Standards and the Police Development and Learning Programme. At the same time the academic study of policing has become an increasingly important and popular field in both universities and colleges. This UK dictionary is the essential reference and companion for people working in and studying policing, and anybody else - working in other agencies of the criminal justice system and beyond - needing to know about the ideas and concepts of policing.
