The key issues addressed include: The workings of tradidional forms of law enforcement, police development in urban Scotland, Scottih policemodels compared with other Bitish models, impact of police reform on urban governance and concers and priorities behind police policy. 

Analyses policing in Scotland in the context of the new and emerging ideas about the nature, purposes and methods of policing that are developing elsewhere in the world, and seeks to determine how far Scottish policing is maintaining its own traditions, or how far it is becoming a localized example of wider global trends.  This second edition introduces new chapters on crime investigation, police unionism, ethnic minorities, policing violence and forensic science, as well as incorporating a major new theme which seeks to explain how those responsible for policing Scotland set about dealing with current issues such as terrorism and organised crime. 0148 DONN
