  • More about Police Research: Some Future Prospects

The 1980s saw an enormous growth of sociological research on the police and on policing, with contributions ranging from broad conceptual reviews to specific empirical work and the relationship between research and policy.

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


The 1980s marked a significant surge in sociological research on the police and policing, in stark contrast to the preceding decade. This book, originally published in 1989, serves as a testament to the expansion and diversity of police research during that time. Contributors were invited to review the state of research in their respective fields and to evaluate the progress and trajectory of policing research. The resulting contributions span a wide range, from comprehensive conceptual overviews (chapters 1, 5, and 9) to in-depth examinations of specific empirical studies, some of which were being presented for the first time (chapters 7 and 8). Other papers explored the interplay between research and policy (chapters 2, 3, and 4), while others charted and accounted for developments in policing policy and speculated about their potential consequences (chapters 10 and 11).

Today, this book can be read and appreciated not only for its historical significance but also for its valuable insights into the field of policing research. It provides a comprehensive overview of the trends, developments, and challenges that shaped the study of the police during the 1980s and serves as a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and policymakers interested in understanding the past and shaping the future of policing.
