Zero Tolerance Policing

Zero Tolerance Policing is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the police, crime prevention, community safety and order maintenance.

It is a highly significant text, providing the reader with a more informed understanding of the many issues involved.

With chapters from eminent practitioners and academics, and based on a combination of practical experience and extensive research, each chapter examines a key issue involved in zero tolerance policing.

Subjects under discussion include current initiatives in both the UK and US, problem-oriented policing, community reaction, the implications for civil liberties of a true zero tolerance approach, and the problems of begging and vagrancy.
