Equality and Diversity in Policing

"A great, concise look at equality within the field of policing - an essential text." Lecturer, University of Ulster

A really clear and easy to use text book addressing the issues of E&D and professional and personal values and practice

Very accessible - tackles the six strands separately which is unusual. Opportunities for interaction with the text and exercises.
Would have added value with more on the psychology of discrimination and prejudice.
will definitely recommend that my students read it though.

This provides Criminology & Criminal Justice Students with a comprehensive yet concise text, which address the six key issues surrounding the often fragile relationship between the police and members of a diverse society, and essentially how issues of diversity impact on the police and the environment they work within.
The cases studies also encourage students to carefully reflect on the issues and their own perspectives of equality and policing a diverse society.
A must read for every student

Well written, easy to follow and an excellent text for those students studying policing HE qualifications.

Equality and Diversity is a key theme on all policing degree courses. The book contextualising equality and diversity within the legislative and policy framework, examines the historical context by outlining some of the difficulties and criticisms that the police have faced in dealing with matters of equality and diversity. It considers diversity, not only in terms of how the police relate to the general public, but also how diversity issues impact on police careers and occupational culture.
