Police Powers and Accountability

by John L. Lambert

Book Overview

The traditional view of the role of the police had come under increasing attacks in the early 1980s. The riots of 1981 and the Scarman Inquiry stimulated a widespread public debate about policing, police powers and accountability. Originally published in 1986, this book considers these critical issues in contemporary policing.
