The police increasingly need to work with other government agencies, the third sector, community organizations, and the private sector—an approach known as plural policing. This book critically analyzes the rise of this approach in England and Wales over the past decade, drawing on examples of national and international practice. Written by an author with extensive experience in both academia and police practice,Plural Policing both discusses the consequences of this approach for the historical model of policing provision and challenges views on how policing should be delivered in the future. Filling a growing need for research incorporating evidence-based policing, this book will dovetail with a variety of important issues covered in all policing courses.
