Principled Policing

Protecting the Public With Integrity

About this book

The author of this book describes how it is all too easy for quite "ordinary" police officers to descend into behaviour which is difficult to comprehend, as a result of state manoeuvring, police culture, and what he believes is a lack of any fundamental values for police work. Through an account of what Alderson calls "high police", and by way of examples from around the world - including Northern Ireland, Tiananmen Square, Nazi Germany, J. Edgar Hoover's days at the FBI, and the British miners' strike of 1984/85 - he advocates the creation of a code of principles designed to act as a touchstone for police everywhere.
