When it was published Dr David
Waddington said of it, "Mike King and Nigel Brearley are to be
congratulated on this well documented and compelling analysis of the changing
face of British public order policing. This timely and refreshingly accessible
book ought to be essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the recent
evolution of police crowd control methods, or eager to predict the future
direction of police public order strategy and tactics. "
This book highlights the major
‘watersheds’ in the policing of political, industrial, festival and urban disorders
and contains a wealth of material from interviews with senior police officers.
The book is written in a clear and concise style, incorporating an extremely informative glossary of terms, sadly sometimes lacking in other books. This work can still provide a good background for both police practitioners and those studying or interested in the area of contemporary policing.
Zero Tolerance Policing

In recent years there has been a debate
about the merits of zero tolerance policing; much of the discussion has been
based on a misunderstanding. Indeed, there are many myths about what this form
of policing seeks to achieve and the methods it adopts.
Set against a backdrop of sensationalism
and confusion, this exciting new book aims to tackle the controversy head on.
With chapters from eminent practitioners
and academics, the book clearly sets out the arguments both for and against
zero tolerance policing, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions.
Based on a combination of practical
experience and extensive research, each chapter examines a key issue involved
in zero tolerance policing. Subjects under discussion include current
initiatives in both the UK and US, problem oriented policing, community
reaction, the implications for civil liberties of a true zero tolerance approach
and the problems of begging and vagrancy.
Zero Tolerance Policing is essential
reading for anyone with an interest in the police, crime prevention, community
safety and order maintenance. It is a highly significant text, providing the
reader with a more informed understanding of the many issues involved.
Professor Dick Hobbs, University of
Durham, said of this book:-
'This timely volume examines the
different dimensions of zero tolerance policing strategies and considers the
best ways of promoting crime prevention, public safety and the policing of
different communities'.
