‘Policing for a Better Britain’: It is high time to revisit our model of policing and re-fashion the police service

摘要

Today, the Independent Police Commission released a report recommending reform of the police service in Britain. It argues, amongst other things, that the police and crime commissioners experiment has failed and advocates an alternative approach which in part will depend on how the police are to be structurally re-organised. Reviewing the report, Jennifer Brown hopes it provides the opportunity to re-fashion the police service to meet the new and constantly more challenging conditions of the day.
