Education or indoctrination? An exploration of the resistance towards making policing a degree-level profession
Following a governmental U-turn on the requirement for new police officers to have degrees, this article examines what happened within just 7 years to cause this; specifically from the perspective of chief constables. This is contextualised through social learning and followership, and examining best practice in police leadership. It concludes that with unambiguous buy-in of ideas - such as the requirement for professionalisation through educatio…
Deter, detect, disrupt. An analysis of Nottinghamshire Police’s knife crime team
Nottinghamshire Police established the only dedicated team in the UK outside London, proactively locating those at higher likelihood of involvement in Knife-enabled crime. The team uses a mix of tactics under the banner of ‘deter, detect, and disrupt’ through intelligence-led and problem-oriented policing approaches. This article examines those tactics and assesses the effectiveness thereof as a case study, using a mix of statistics and wider aca…
The ‘Peelian Principles
The superhero effect
The theory of ‘enclothed cognition’ posits that clothes alone can significantly alter their wearer's outlook on life. Based on this idea, this article examines the world view of uniformed British police officers seeking to understand whether their uniform impacts on their attitudes and behaviours. Using data from a survey of 91 uniformed officers, results suggest that their uniform does indeed affect how they behave and their perceptions of self.…
Perceptions of student officers of the police constable degree apprenticeship
In 2016, policing in England and Wales became a degree-entry profession. The pathway for those entering the service without a pre-existing degree is the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA). Due its novelty, there is little extant research surrounding its efficacy. This study gathered perceptions of PCDA officers through a mix of quantitative and qualitative data and thematic analysis, finding that the programme is viewed quite negativel…

In 2014 Professor Tim Hope stated that he would “give up the police service”, proposing that the “police service should merge thoroughly with health, ambulance and fire services to become a harm-response service”. This article examines the practicalities of such a proposal,considering different aspects within policing that require multi-agency co-operation and whether that could be replaced by unification. It concludes that in all instances, bar …

Never mind the bollards
This paper follows an example of security bollarding in response to car attacks, now widely offered as a solution to the 'new normal' use of motor vehicles as weapons for terrorist attacks in crowded urban places. We examine the relations between the specificities of an attack in Melbourne in 2017, where bollards were presented as regrettable but necessary. We explore how improvisations softened the political impact of this target hardening throu…
An Attachment to Separation
Jurisdiction describes the organisation, institution and enunciation of the authority to render lawful judgment. According to Paul Virilio, all technology is already pregnant with its inherent accident. How, then, might a jurisdictional accident take form? This article considers this question in the English case Re A(Children), which addressed the legality of the surgical separation of conjoined twins when one twin would necessarily die as a resu…
