Rezensionen / Stimmen

'With impeccable timing Daniel Donnelly brings us his new book: The Scottish Police Officer. Spanning history, sociology, philosophy and policing practice, this book will not only be vital reading for anyone concerned with Scottish policing, but will be of great interest to police scholars everywhere.' - Tim Newburn, Professor of Criminology, London School of Economics, UK

'This book breaks new ground in offering a comprehensive study of Scottish policing and the Scottish police officer. As the first of its kind, it will prove invaluable as a work of reference. But it is also a work of considerable insight, a fascinating and timely investigation of the distinctive strengths and pressing concerns of an important Scottish institution at a time of great political, organisational and social change.' - Neil Walker, Regius Professor of Public Law and the Law of Nature and Nations, The University of Edinburgh, UK

'In this very timely and important book, Daniel Donnelly brings his own unique blend of professional policing experience and academic insight to craft a fascinating account of the diversity of tasks, responsibilities and relationships that define the police officer's role. At a time when policing in the UK, and Scotland in particular, is undergoing fundamental restructuring and reform, this book will be of immense value to practitioners and researchers who need to know more about the complex working environments of the officers who deliver this vital service.' - Professor Nick Fyfe, University of Dundee and Director of the Scottish Institute for Policing Research, UK
