Abstract

Audit Commission proposals to improve police effectiveness have emphasized efficiency gains through the introduction of new technology and better use of existing specialist resources. This may only reflect a continuing commitment to a professional policing model which emphasizes specialization and hierarchy. A more radical approach is needed if police are to engage effectively in helping to resolve the current crime crisis.
