Modern police forces are expansive and intricate entities, tasked with an array of responsibilities and facing immense pressure to justify their actions to diverse stakeholders. Originally released in 1986, this seminal work captures the evolving demands and pressures faced by the police at that time. It provides a comprehensive account of how the police responded to these challenges and assesses the degree to which they were open to change.

The book serves as a valuable compilation of information on numerous police operational and management initiatives. It delves into and evaluates recent innovations and experiments in two primary areas: patrol and crime prevention. It explores efforts to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the police force, as well as the methodologies employed to measure their outcomes. Furthermore, it sheds light on the central government's interest in policing and demonstrates how this influence can shape the operational priorities of the police.

Throughout its pages, this book strives to analyze police practice and attitudes in the context of broader pressures to improve police effectiveness. It offers a comprehensive framework for understanding the complexities and challenges faced by modern police forces and provides valuable insights into the strategies employed to address them.
