“This book represents an anthology of policing practice and leadership for the twenty-first century and the editors have managed to ride simultaneously the academic and practitioner horses by producing a book which is important to both. The content covers an abundance of timely crime and policing issues including; terrorism, child protection, police accountability, partnership working and cyber- crime. In addition, the unusual collection of contributors affords an opportunity for exploration of lesser studied areas of ‘policing’, such as ‘UN peace-keeping’, ‘armed policing’, and crisis management, which increase the diversity and range of the book. That said, the common themes of decision making and leadership hold the whole thing together very well. A welcome and much needed resource for students and police practitioners alike.” (Professor Jason Roach, University of Huddersfield, UK)
