Changing Police Culture : Policing in a Multicultural Society Hardback
by Chan Janet B. L. Chan
Hardback
Description
Police culture is often considered as both a cause of police deviance and an obstacle for police reform.
In this case study of police racism and police reform in Australia, the author provides a critical assessment of police initiative in response to the problem of police/minorities relations.
The book examines the dynamics of change and resistance within a police organisation and captures the complexity and unpredictability of the change process.
It questions the utility of the traditional conception of police culture and proposes a new framework for understanding the inter-relationships between the structural conditions of police work, police cultural knowledge, and police practice.
A highly original and valuable contribution to policing studies, this book is both empirically rich and theoretically informed.
