Summary: While the question of role and function has been the bedrock of classical sociological theorizing on police, this text grounds such theorising in explicating how British policing has arisen through a schismatic process, why it is in a present mess, and what it should be doing in the future.
Introduction : turning over the pebble -- The state of the police of the state -- Smoke and mirrors - the cuts in policing and the technological fix -- Commodifying state policing : the export of the "UK Police PLC" brand -- Policing the other through law -- Policing the other: continuity of practice from St Giles to Dale Farm.
