Review

"Good combination of academic theory, empirical evidence and policy recommendations written for a large audience, many of whom will go on to work in policing and associated areas." Ben Bradford, University College London"Could not come at a more critical time in the history of police-citizen relations. Across the world we, the people, need a book like this to guide the future of policing." Lorraine Mazerolle, University of Queensland"Essential reading for those who want to nurture public consent, understand the limitations of enforcement and build safer and more equal communities." Dame Sara Thornton, Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner"Mike Hough's admirably concise, lucid and compelling book synthesises a vast range of empirical evidence and theoretical debates. It will be vital reading for policy-makers, practitioners, students, academics, and researchers in a wide range of fields, including policing and criminal justice, criminology, sociology, social psychology, political science and theory. Its commanding scholarship and penetrating theoretical discussion, confirm Mike Hough's standing as one of the leading authors in contemporary criminal justice research, theory and policy analysis. " Robert Reiner, London School of Economics and Political Science
