Key features: cents Outlines a distinctive philosophical theory of policing which promotes the human rights dimension of police work. cents Analyzes the phenomenon of noble cause corruption and ways to combat it. cents Examines the role of restorative justice. cents Discusses the related notions of police authority and police discretion. cents Assesses the use of coercive and deadly force. cents Provides a detailed discussion of recent issues such as privacy and confidentiality
