An insightful and valuable piece that should be an essential preparation for aspiring senior police and a reminder for serving leaders. Policing A persuasive, penetrating and insightful glimpse, through the lens of leadership, into how two influential police systems in countries with very different histories are repositioning themselves within the `rough waters' of security governance. Clifford Shearing, University of Cape Town, South Africa, and Griffith University, Australia What Matters In Policing is an ambitious book that succeeds in making a sustained case for a coherent and broad vision of policing against the backdrop of a landscape much wider than that to which we are accustomed, and for that it is undoubtedly a welcome contribution to the literature. Policing Insight The police forces of The Netherlands and UK are undergoing convulsive changes. If those changes are to be effectively directed in a more uncertain and demanding world, this book provides a compelling case and roadmap for police leadership and its development, whatever the country.
