’The fledgling field of police ethics receives a welcome boost in this contribution by a philosopher-practitioner team who provide insightful discussions of cases within a rights-based account of policing. New and old topics are given fresh treatment, enriching and extending our resources for grappling with policing's critical challenges.’ Professor John Kleinig, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, New York, USA, and Editor of Criminal Justice Ethics '...the book provides a strong and useful theoretical basis for the existence and working of the police...Their approach...has much to commend it...this volume adds an important dimension to consideration of both the role of policing generally, to a theoretically sound ethical standing for policing and to the application of rights to that role.' Cambrian Law Review.

• Contents: Introduction; A theory of policing: the enforcement of moral rights; Authority and discretion in policing; The moral justification for police use of deadly force; Privacy, confidentiality and security in policing; Corruption and anti-corruption in policing; Restorative justice in policing; Bibliography; Index.
