I've read this, it offers a brilliant insight into 'modern' policing within England and Wales. Very informative as to what is expected of Police Officers under New Labour and the methods used in fiddling figures - 'administrative detections' are of particular interest.
It is a damning criticism of target-led policing and the politically correct culture that is making the police force an inadequate tool for dealing with crime. The author argues for a return to fighting real crime, instead of treating police officers and social workers and using the police for social engineering.
