Performance mechanisms meet professional autonomy
As with other parts of the public sector, policing has had to confront the principles and processes attached to new public management. This paper examines the impact of police performance management on the ‘occupational professionalism’ of British policing actors with a particular focus on organisational units concerned with criminal investigation. Based on qualitative empirical research on two major police forces in England and Wales, the paper …
Policing as a performing art? The contradictory nature of contemporary police performance management
Performance management in criminal justice organizations has become a prominent issue in many countries and has faced increasing criticisms by scholars and practitioners. In this regard it is important to examine empirically how performance frameworks work concretely. We do so through the empirical examination of ‘performance regimes’, that is, the sets of performance indicators, internal procedures, instruments and processes of internal accounta…
Comparing performance
Performance management in some form is now a global feature of policing in both developed and developing countries. Under the steer of ‘new public management’, cultures of performance and the instruments of performance management are increasingly a part of the landscape of twenty-first century policing. However, there has been little by way of comparative analysis of the different regimes of police performance management, despite the wider expans…
Farmers, factories and funds
This article explores the growth of organised crime within the Vietnamese community with particular reference to the cultivation of cannabis, money laundering and the smuggling or trafficking of children. The article begins by exploring the history and diversity of the ‘Vietnamese community’ in the United Kingdom and the role of Vietnamese culture in shaping their criminal enterprises. It then draws on research involving two sets of qualitative d…
Controlling crime and disorder
This chapter reviews New Labour’s crime policy. The Labour government, under Tony Blair, concerned itself with more fundamental ‘third order change’ or ‘paradigm shifts’. From the first utterance of the ‘tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime’ mantra, Labour made it very clear that crime and law and order would be headline priorities. These ‘paradigm shifts’ that Blair presided over were dominated by politicians in an effort to respond to w…
Putting wrongs to right
Campaigns against miscarriages of justice have played a role not just in exposing individual cases of injustice but also in helping to shape criminal justice policy itself. The means by which such campaigns manage to achieve degrees of ‘success’ are therefore of criminological significance. Using the term ‘miscarriages of justice’ to embrace both ‘wrongful convictions’ and the failure of agencies to act appropriately (‘not doing enough’), the art…
Tackling tradition
Relative to both the rest of the criminal justice sector and to the British public sector as a whole, the police service has managed to maintain many of its traditional features and to survive the most radical dimensions of public-sector reforms inflicted on other areas of the public sector. This paper examines the track record of attempts to develop reform agendas within British policing and, in turn, the extent to which the policing sector has …

Getting to the Top
This paper examines the processes by which the senior police officers in England and Wales are chosen and prepared for their role. Based upon research interviews with a sample of chief constables and assistant chief constables, it develops a critical assessment of the quality of each of the three key stages in this respect: the selection of those considered to have the potential to become senior officers, senior management training, and the appoi…
Insult to injury? The medical investigation of rape in England and Wales
The vast majority of police surgeons/forensic medical examiners (FMEs) are general practitioners who assist the police on a largely part-time basis in relation to matters requiring medical expertise, including the medical examination of rape complainants. This paper considers the development of a ‘specialist’ cadre of women FMEs to examine female rape complainants. Gaps in the legislation surrounding this aspect of FME work are examined. The pape…
Divided loyalties?—the police surgeon and criminal justice
The work of the ‘police surgeon’ in Britain is characterised by role conflict with tensions between the medical/legal and therapeutic/evidential aspects of the role. This paper examines the dualisms which characterise the work of the police surgeon, and, on the basis of a national survey of police surgeons, provides data and analysis on the operation of the police surgeon service in England and Wales. It proceeds to focus more specifically and cr…
Police Governance, the Association of Chief Police Officers and Constitutional Change
After nearly two decades of Conservative rule in Parliament, constitutional change has become an increasingly significant issue on the political agenda, embracing considerable discussion about the constitution of the police (largely centred on issues of police accountability and local democratic control of the police). This article seeks to further this debate by examining the role of the Association of Chief Police Officers of England, Wales and…
Ethics and the police surgeon
A Different Sort of Doctor
Police surgeons occupy a neglected and potentially influential role in the criminal justice system, falling between medical and legal functions. This article considers the implications of this role which operates at the interface of two major areas of social policy concern. Drawing evidence from a unique survey of police surgeons in England and Wales, it considers specifically, the professional background of police surgeons, the administration an…
Ask a Policeman”
This article examines the development of police‐community consultation arrangements in one large county in southern England: arrangements made under Section 106 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. It analyses the various responses of the main parties in the process: the police, the police authority, and the local committees themselves; and considers the extent to which the practice of consultation relates to wider claims for the enhance…

The Theories of Talcott Parsons
Political power and political subsystems
In the field of sociological analyses of politics and power Parsons' contribution has tended to be dismissed abruptly as the ultimate expression of ‘consensus’ theory, and has been accused of denying the existence of social tensions and social change. This paper argues that this tendency is quite inadequate, indeed erroneous, and proposes a distinct mode of critique of Parsons' theory of politics and power. On the basis of an outline of the major…
