Amid widespread debate about police ethics and behaviour, this stimulating book considers the fundamental role of officers and their relations with society.
Leading thinker Dominic Wood takes a moral philosophical perspective to the evidence base and literature. He sets out an up-to-date overview of ethics in policing and their impact and considers afresh the parameters of moral policing and the ways in which values are embedded in operations.
This is a timely contribution to discussions about the police and their legitimacy, and essential reading for all those studying, teaching and leading the profession.

Dominic Wood is the Head of School of Law, Criminal Justice and Policing at Canterbury Christ Church University.
