Description
Hard Cop, Soft Cop: Dilemmas and debates in contemporary policing by Roger Hopkins Burke explores the complexities of policing styles, examining the tensions between zero tolerance approaches and more nuanced methods. At its core, this book delves into the moral ambiguities inherent in policing, highlighting how different styles - from public police services to private security agencies and social work organisations - are interconnected within a broader corporate crime control industry. By shedding light on these complex relationships, Hopkins Burke offers a nuanced understanding of policing's pervasive and insidious nature.
