"A tour de force of research on police organization and an analysis
of new data on police activities, workloads, and budgets....One of
the most rewarding aspects of the book is its comparative
orientation, which includes police in the United States, Australia,
Canada, Great Britain, and Japan. At the same time, many analyses
drop country designations altogether when to do so makes
sense."--Contemporary Sociology
"Fine scholarship, deep insights and thought-provoking suggestions
for police reform."--Joseph D. McNamara, Police Chief, San Jose
California (Ret.) and Research Fellow, Hoover Institute, Stanford
University
"This book challenges police officers, politicians and the public
to confront fundamental questions about the future role of the
police in advanced democratic societies. The strength of this
challenge comes from the extensive data collected in a unique study
of policing in five countries, and the scholarship of David
Bayley's analysis. The police service in our society has a
fundamental influence on the relationship between the state and the
individual, and
consequently, this is not simply a book to be read, it requires us
to answer the questions raised."--A.J.P. Butler, Chief Constable,
Gloucestershire Constabulary, United Kingdom
"A 'benchmark' study and analysis of police operations and
outcomes....a very useful blueprint for the future."--Choice
"...this text is...the most poignant and realistic publication
about policing I've read yet."--M.L. Dantzker, University of Texas
Pan American
