Setting the Parameters — Public and Political Opinion on Police Reform
As was shown in Chapter 1, the issues of policing and justice administration are central to all dimensions of the conflict in Northern Ireland. Creating change in these areas, therefore, could well serve as one of the most important confidence building measures in relation to an overall settlement. However, it is equally important that this change is appropriate and sustainable. Change that is imposed simply for the sake of change, or change that…
Conclusions
The establishment and enforcement of order in any society is a complex business. Defining order, legislating for order and the techniques to enforce order are all highly contentious. In addition, there is the need to balance the demands of order with the space for generating social change, individual rights and protection for minority groups. It should hardly be surprising then, that such problems are magnified immensely in polarized societies su…
The Importance of Policing
On Good Friday 1998, Northern Ireland’s political parties signed an agreement which was subsequently approved by a majority of Irish people, both north and south of the border. Since then, while there have been the horrors of three boys murdered in Ballymoney and 29 people murdered in Omagh, the parties have inched awkwardly towards implementing many of the Agreement’s provisions. One of the most sensitive and difficult areas of the Agreement’s p…
Some Options
Northern Ireland is not the only society to suffer from internal cleavages (see, for example, Lijphart, 1977a, 1977b, 1968, 1969 and 1971; Dahl, 1971; Eckstein, 1966),1 nor is it the first to undertake a major review of policing. In addition, Northern Ireland is part of the liberal, capitalist world which encompasses a managerial culture that seeks to adopt ‘best practice’ techniques from wherever they may be found. This chapter seeks to explore …
Best Practice and Reform
Even from the short discussion in Chapter 2, it is possible to gain some understanding of the complexity involved in policing societies in which there are major differences in beliefs about ideological, political and sociological issues. Add to this the many ‘local’ features of the problems identified in Chapter 1 and the divisiveness identified in Chapter 3 and the picture which emerges is one of extreme difficulty facing those charged with crea…
Police Reform in Northern Ireland
What remains is the fairly tall order of assessing the options for the future of policing in Northern Ireland. At the most basic level, there are two options: the RUC could be disbanded and a completely new service or services established, or the existing RUC could be reformed and continue as the sole provider or as one of a number of policing services. Disbanding the RUC does not seem to be an option at present. This claim can be made for a vari…
Policing and Conflict in Northern Ireland
In societies suffering from acute political and social cleavage, policing agencies are invariably at the heart of the conflict resolution processes. In Northern Ireland, there have been calls for the
Does Dumcree ’96 tell us anything about the RUC
Privatisation ‐ variation on a theme
The level of funding of the police is an important factor in determining the type of service that can be offered. Traditionally, this funding is derived from public sources enabling those responsible for service delivery to claim independence and as a consequence impartiality. This paper examines a growing tendency for privately funded resources to find their way into the budgets of the police. In particular, the paper focuses on four distinct ty…
Who polices violence
This paper reappraises the role of the police in public order situations. In doing so, it suggests that the often mentioned, but just as frequently discarded, option of a ‘third force’ needs to be re‐examined against the costs of trying to maintain an incompatible range of police functions, and an increasingly unpopular public image
Propaganda and justice administration in Northern Ireland
This article seeks to explore the propaganda advantages that the Provisional IRA is able to generate from some of the British government's responses to it. Like all authorities facing a sustained terrorist problem, the British government has made changes to its legislation. But we discuss how the PIRA is able to use this legislation to attach credibility to its cause. Two further areas of British government policy that the PIRA is able to exploit…
