About this book
This book offers an autoethnographic examination of the author's last three years as a serving police officer and as Head of the Professional Standards Department, recorded in personal journals. It analyses the emotional and philosophical impact arising from day-to-day interactions with police officers and reflects on corruption and how itisperceived both inside and outside the service. This book posits a model of the kakistocratic police milieu as a theoretical framework for analysis of the police in contemporary neoliberal liquid modernity which could be used to explore other police phenomenological research data. This autoethnographic insider research provides a rare addition to the knowledge on police corruption. It speaks in particular to those doing professional policing degrees and police practitioners.
