This edited collection brings together leading academics, researchers, and police personnel to provide a comprehensive body of literature that informs Australian police education, training, research, policy, and practice. There is a strong history and growth in police education, both in Australia and globally. Recognising and reflecting on the Australian and New Zealand Policing Advisory Agency (ANZPAA) education and training framework, the range of chapters within the book address a range of 21st-century issues modern police forces face. This book discusses four key themes:

Education, training, and professional practice: topics include police education, ethics, wellbeing, and leadership

Organisational approaches and techniques: topics include police discretion, use of force, investigative interviewing, and forensic science

Operational practices and procedures: topics include police and the media, emergency management, cybercrime, terrorism, and community management

Working with individuals and groups: topics include mental health, Indigenous communities, young people, hate crime, domestic violence, and working with victims

Australian Policing: Critical Issues in 21st Century Police Practice draws together theoretical and practice debates to ensure this book will be of interest to those who want to join the police, those who are currently training to become a police officer, and those who are currently serving. This book is essential reading for all students, scholars, and researchers engaged with policing and the criminal justice sector.

Reviews for Australian Policing: Critical Issues in 21st Century Police Practice

"""Birch, Kennedy and Kruger provide a well-balanced book in terms of theory and its integration to the real world of policing. This book serves an incredibly important purpose of not only supporting those who work in the field, but by providing academic institutions that teach policing, law enforcement and public safety courses a useful and meaningful text. It is an essential read for anyone involved in or who has an interest in the field of policing, especially in Australia."" Commissioner Michael Fuller APM, New South Wales Police Force, Australia"
