Bayley examines the variability in police work, suggests reasons for this variation, and makes preditions about the future role of police.\u003cp\u003eHe considers how contemporary police institutions have developed. Police forces worldwide tend to be public rather than private, to concentrate on crime fighting rather than services, and to be professionally trained and recruited. There is, however, great variation in the structure of police forces, which are generally either centralized or, as in the United States, decentralized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe behavior of the police toward their constituents also varies by nation. As urbanization and industrialization increase, the public finds itself in greater contact with police and may begin to rely on them more for protection. There are also marked differences cross-nationally in the way police relate to political and community life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e List of Tables\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part 1 - Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 1 Toward a Theory of Policing\u003cbr\u003e Part 2 - Evolution\u003cbr\u003e 2 The Development of Modern Police\u003cbr\u003e 3 The Structure of Policing\u003cbr\u003e 4 Police Strength\u003cbr\u003e Part 3 - Function\u003cbr\u003e 5 Police Work\u003cbr\u003e 6 A Theory of Encounters\u003cbr\u003e Part 4 - Politics\u003cbr\u003e 7 Control of the Police\u003cbr\u003e 8 Police in Political Life\u003cbr\u003e Part 5 - Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e 9 Future of Policing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Appendix\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52739549987096,"sku":"9780813516189","price":24.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/patterns-of-policing-a-comparative-international-analysis-paperback-softback-9780813516189","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
