This book draws upon a range of empirical research to explore contemporary debates about police leadership. Focusing upon leadership styles, ethics, integrity and professionalism, gender, race and diversity, legitimacy and accountability, it reviews the changing context and nature of leadership over time and explores the challenges which different leadership models bring to policing. Leadership is present at various levels within the police service and so this collection explores appropriate leadership qualities and requirements for different roles at different ranks. The book also considers the difference between leadership and management in an attempt to capture fuller debates within police leadership. Part One surmises the contextual backdrop to current thinking and the primary challenges facing leadership in the police service. Part Two highlights the changing face of leadership through an exploration of the call for greater diversity within the ranks of police leadership, and the final section examines police leadership beyond England and Wales. Through this, explores how the challenges facing police leadership in England and Wales share similarities with those in Scotland, Europe, North America, and Australia in the face of the pressures of political and economic uncertainty.weiterlesen
