Sinossi
This study examines the impact of the development of crime control strategies on problems of police corruption and abuse. The text provides an historical overview of the development of the legal control of the police, and examines the challenges that recent innovations, such as community or problem oriented policing, present to the traditional, historical mechanisms for maintaining control of the police. Additionally, a comparative perspective is featured that draws upon the experiences of the Gorbachev era in the Soviet Union as well as the history of European law enforcement over the last century. The book aims to encourage discussion and debate regarding police innovation and its impact on the ability of society to control police abuse.
