Beskrivning

Little is known about those at the command end of policing in Europe. Over the last two years, Bryn Caless and Steve Tong have had unique access to those at the top of Europe's police forces, obtaining detailed comments from more than a hundred strategic police leaders in 22 countries and presenting, for the first time, information about how they are selected for high office, how they are held to account and what their views are on current and future challenges in policing. Building on research conducted in the UK, this is a timely and unparalleled insight into a little-known elite in the law-enforcement world.

Recensioner i media

"An original contribution, coming at a watershed in European policing (with centralisation, narrowing of mandate, changes in recruitment and governance, and austerity), which provides valuable material and fresh insights in an under-researched area" Maurice Punch, London School of Economics and Political Science "Providing insights into the professional life of top police leaders, this book makes for interesting reading and details the lessons to be learned as well as encouraging readers to think about leadership as both an art and a science." Ferenc Banfi, Director of CEPOL/European Police College, Hungary
