Description
Neighbourhood policing has been called the 'cornerstone of British policing' but changing demand, pressures on funding and the cyclical nature of political support mean that this approach is under considerable pressure.
Locating neighbourhood policing in its social and political context, the book investigates whether this UK model - intended to build confidence and legitimacy - has been successful. Exploring effective policing strategies and the importance of funding and philosophical support, it concludes with an assessment of the model's future and the challenges that it needs to overcome.

Reviews / Votes
"O'Reilly does a superb job of capturing the successive swings of governance support and amnesia that seem to have accompanied neighbourhood policing [...] an excellent companion to any NP module on a policing degree or for research that seeks to explore NP." Policing and Society "This is a timely contribution to discussions about the purpose of policing. It sets out a case for appreciating the extent to which the police can play an important role in fostering, supporting and strengthening communities."
