Addressing Corruption in The Police Service: The Thick Blue Line

In a period where police and academics benefit from coproduction in
research and education, the need for a critical perspective on key challenges
is pressing. Palgrave’s Critical Policing Studies is a series of high
quality, research-based books which examine a range of cutting-edge
challenges and developments to policing and their social and political
contexts. They seek to provide evidence-based case studies and
high quality research, combined with critique and theory, to address
fundamental challenging questions about future directions in policing.
Through a range of formats including monographs, edited collections
and short form Pivots, this series provides research at a variety of lengths
to suit both academics and practitioners. The series brings together new
topics at the forefront of policing scholarship but is also organised around
who the contemporary police are, what they do, how they go about
it, and the ever-changing external environments which bear upon their
work.
The series will cover topics such as: the purpose of policing and public
expectations, public health approaches to policing, policing of cybercrime,
environmental policing, digital policing, social media, Artificial
Intelligence and big data, accountability of complex networks of actors
involved in policing, austerity, public scrutiny, technological and social
changes, over-policing and marginalised groups, under-policing and
corporate crime, institutional abuses, policing of climate change, ethics,
workforce, education, evidence-based policing, and the pluralisation of
policing.
