McNamara, Police Chief, San Jose California (Ret.) and Research Fellow, Hoover Institute, Stanford University ... David Bayley's study provides us with new types of strategies for the future of policing based very largely on detailed research and frank recognition of what the police can and cannot achieve./ ... an imaginative and highly readable study.../ Barry Loveday, University of Portsmouth, Local Government Studies, Vol 24, no 4, Winter 1998 This book challenges police officers, politicians and the public to confront fundamental questions about the future role of the police in advanced democratic societies. The strength of this challenge comes from the extensive data collected in a unique study of policing in five countries, and the scholarship of David Bayley's analysis. The police service in our society has a fundamental influence on the relationship between the state and the individual, and consequently, this is not simply a book to be read, it requires us to answer the questions raised. A.J.P. Butler, Chief Constable, Gloucestershire Constabulary, United Kingdom A 'benchmark' study and analysis of police operations and outcomes...a very useful blueprint for the future. Choice
