Accounts of the social meaning of policing and of the relationship between police and citizen converge on the idea that police behaviour carries important identity-relevant information. Opinions of and ideas about the police are implicated in the formation of social identities that relate to the social groups it represents – nation, state and community. Procedural justice theory suggests that judgements about the fairness of the police will be the most important factor in such processes. Fairness promotes a sense of inclusion and value, while unfairness communicates denigration and exclusion. Furthermore, positive social identities in relation to the police should on this account promote cooperation with it. This article presents an empirical test of these ideas in the context of the British policing. Data from a survey of young Londoners are used to show that perceptions of police fairness are indeed associated with social identity, and in turn social identity can be linked to cooperation.

The relationship between the British police service and the media has a chequered history and is one of complexity. Whilst the media has been a main contributor to promoting favourable images of policing and mystifying police work, conflict is endemic to the relationship and the level of trust between the parties is constantly in the balance. Commentators have suggested that the police are the dominant party in the relationship, managing the media to their own advantage and not in the interests of democratic policing. This paper examines the police‐media relationship in the context of the media advances in the 1990s. Drawing on research carried out across the police service in England and Wales, it concludes that although the police service has become more professional in the way it handles media relations, the complexity of the media world coupled with police organisational characteristics prevent police domination of the media to the extent feared.

Both Mexico and the United States, which share a long and porous border, have declared international narcotics trafficking a national security problem. Nevertheless, operational cooperation in dealing with this common problem has been lacking. We argue that difficulties in trans‐national cooperation are caused, in the main, by conflicting evaluations of the causes and impacts of the drug problem, competing nationalisms in the U.S. and Mexico, and perceptual imagery.

This paper reports on a survey of police officers in Queensland, Australia, regarding their responses to a scenario in which an officer is confronted with a traffic violation by a cafe proprietor who has given the officer free food and drinks. The majority of respondents supported the option of not giving the driver a traffic offence notice and related their choice to the influence of the personal relationship with the offender. This preference is contrary to official policy and public opinion. The survey was conducted following a period of ethical reform of the agency and demonstrates the need for intensified ethics training, closer supervision of operational police and clearer guidelines for the exercise of discretion.

This paper is concerned with the transformation of the Public Order Police Unit in Durban. On the basis of interviews and field work undertaken at Chatsworth Police Training College, it argues that the two “traditional” mechanisms which have been used to create change (i.e. training and policy) have been limited in their achievements due to the lack of a clear vision by management, as well as poor supervision and command of rank‐and‐file police in the unit. The paper also argues that the current extensive involvement of this unit in general policing has the dangerous potential of militarising the police role and, simultaneously, weakening its special capacities.

Kraska and Paulsen's ethnography of the Pleasantville SWAT team suggests a worrying blurring of the boundary between the police and military. However, this is more apparent than al, since many of the indicators of militarization turn out, on closer inspection, to be insubstantial and in crucial respects SWAT teams retain features consistent with the maintenance of non‐military methods of using force.

Comparative studies of police have been a staple of the criminological tradition in Britain at least since Michael Banton's pioneering work on the sociology of the police organisation in the early 1960s. This paper focuses on cases of police‐related scandal in the Low Countries as a way of illustrating the importance of the political‐cultural component in comparative policing. It begins with an historical overview of the polities of the Netherlands and Belgium and examines the structural evolution of the police system in those countries. An account of some police‐related scandals is then given. Such scandals provide particularly good data for understanding the political and cultural embeddedness of policing, since such scandals are reflective not only of police practices, but are also constituted within culturally relevant terms of political discourse which help shape the machinery of governance, including police. The lessons that can be drawn from this case study are twofold. On the one hand, this paper ...
