Abstract
The police service is the most recent public service to be subjected to the reforming zeal of Conservative governments. Between 1979 and 1984, there were major increases in police expenditure (Jones and Silverman, 1984), as government honoured its pledges to implement the Edmund-Davies report on pay and raised police establishments. These were part of a broader strategy to strengthen the police and win them over to government’s law and order and industrial relations policies (Scraton, 1985; Nash and Savage, 1994).Keywords
