Neighbourhood policing has been called the “cornerstone of British policing” but changing demand, pressures on funding and the cyclical nature of political support mean that this approach is under considerable pressure.
Locating neighbourhood policing in its social and political context, the book investigates whether this UK model - intended to build confidence and legitimacy - has been successful. Exploring effective policing strategies and the importance of funding and philosophical support, it concludes with an assessment of the model’s future and the challenges that it needs to overcome.
