REPORT


Police Leadership “At a time of profound change in policing, not least in its higher echelons, we need a clear sense of what leadership in policing consists and why it matters. This volume brings together many of the leading scholars, reporting up-to-date research, in order to consider the current position and likely futures confronting police managers. From evidence to ethics and diversity to direct entry, both in Europe and beyond, the challenges are immense, and Leadership in Policing offers a thorough examination of the key questions facing the police service in the early twenty first century.” —Professor Tim Newburn, London School of Economics, UK “This edited collection draws on a range of theoretical and empirical research to explore the changing face of police leadership in the UK and beyond. It reviews contemporary debates about police leadership and its challenges from the perspectives of scholars and practitioners. A much needed and timely contribution to the literature.” —Professor Jenny Fleming, University of Southampton, UK
