Book synopsis

Questions concerning how to govern police practice§have never been more pressing or more fluid. This§study locates contemporary developments in police§accountability techniques within a broader analysis§of the historical circumstances shaping the changing§techniques for governing police. The recent§pluralisation of police accountability processes and§structures is examined through the application of§governmentality studies. Drawing on a comparative§analysis of two Australian States the book provides a§detailed account of the development of governmental§techniques for ''making up'' the entrepreneurial§officer. While such a governmental project is not§implemented unproblematically the book concludes that§the attempt to shape the development of the§entrepreneurial officer through the managerialisation§of governing presents distinct possibilities for a§new ''politics of policing'' that fosters deliberative§and reflective police practice.
