What Matters in Policing? Summary

What Matters in Policing?: Change, Values and Leadership in Turbulent Times by Auke van Dijk

Studies of policing tend to focus on effectiveness-on what works-rather than what matters, of why policing should be done in particular ways or reformed or restructured. This book explores that angle, looking at the implications of recent restructurings in the UK, USA and the Netherlands, with a special emphasis on the dilemmas faced by police leadership as they confront change.

What Matters in Policing? Reviews

An insightful and valuable piece that should be an essential preparation for aspiring senior police and a reminder for serving leaders. Policing
A persuasive, penetrating and insightful glimpse, through the lens of leadership, into how two influential police systems in countries with very different histories are repositioning themselves within the `rough waters' of security governance. Clifford Shearing, University of Cape Town, South Africa, and Griffith University, Australia
What Matters In Policing is an ambitious book that succeeds in making a sustained case for a coherent and broad vision of policing against the backdrop of a landscape much wider than that to which we are accustomed, and for that it is undoubtedly a welcome contribution to the literature. Policing Insight
The police forces of The Netherlands and UK are undergoing convulsive changes. If those changes are to be effectively directed in a more uncertain and demanding world, this book provides a compelling case and roadmap for police leadership and its development, whatever the country. Michael Useem, Professor of Management and Director of the Center for Leadership and Change Management at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, US
