Offers comprehensive coverage of key policing topics. It is easy to navigate and the chapters provide clear aims and objectives. The study questions at the end of each chapter provide students with a mechanism to review each chapter and consider what they have learned.
- Dr Suzanne Young, Department of Criminology, Leeds Beckett University
This book is a clearly written account of the progress of policing in the United Kingdom, a welcome and unfettered approach to the subject.

Any student new to criminology or policing will be able to develop their knowledge using this book. Joyce's style of written expression allows for an easy reading experience, without skimming on the details.
