Opis

What is policing about and who defines it? This report examines these key issues by exploring the notion of zero tolerance and its application in different settings. Following its introduction in New York, and the seemingly dramatic reduction in crime, zero tolerance policing was taken up in a number of other countries, including the UK and the Netherlands. This report examines that process. It argues that this policy was, in fact, nothing more than a return to old-style, crime control policing. While it did foster the swift analysis of crime patterns and more assertive policing of public places, it could lean towards repression and demonising of certain groups. Examining the negative responses of leading police officers and the policy's debatable impact on crime, the author concludes that zero tolerance in the UK and the Netherlands was more of a populist political and media creation than a coherent policy. This report is far more than an authoritative analysis of zero tolerance. It is a valuable source for entering the debate about the 'big picture' in policing that many stakeholders now wish to see. The approachable style of Zero tolerance policing makes it ideal for students, academics, police practitioners and the lay reader to enter that debate.
