Before his retirement from the rank of Deputy Assistant Commissioner in the Metropolitan Police in May 2007, he was the UK's most senior openly gay officer, and his prominent interventions in issues such as drug policy and the mistaken shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes in the days after 7/7 have also made him the most controversial. \par \par Now freed of the constraints imposed by his professional responsibilities Brian Paddick reveals ...

In Pursuit of the Truth
Former Detective Chief Inspector Clive Driscoll is most famous for being the man who finally secured convictions for the murder of Stephen Lawrence, a case previously mired by claims of institutional racism and corruption. For Clive, it was the pinnacle of a 35-year career with the world s most famous police force, the Metropolitan Police Service. Clive s prodigious rise through the ranks of the Met saw him head up some of the most high-profile units at Scotland Yard and saw him put in charge of their policy for sexual offences, domestic violence, child protection and the paedophile unit before heading up the Racial and Violent Crime Task Force tackling their backlist of cold cases. From action-packed moments chasing down criminals to more tender occasions, like gaining the trust of a murder victim s family, to making crucial legal history, and unearthing huge national scandals, In Pursuit of the Truth is the definitive account of modern day policing, its successes and failings included, seen through the eyes of a man who has dedicated his life to making a difference. This is a book that every part of society can learn from. "
Women in Charge
The number of women police in England and Wales continues to increase, and whilst under represented at senior rank level the arrival of women at Chief Constable level has raised the profile of their role. This is the first book to provide a detailed study of senior women police officers, and is based on extensive research which includes a wide range of in-depth interviews. Its main aims are as follows: to trace women’s progression into police leadership to develop an understanding of the way women leaders can bring about change through developing new styles and conceptualisations of leadership assesses the extent to which senior policewomen are working to make gender and equality issues visible and central to organisational agenda to situate the issue of women’s leadership in the police in the broader context of debates around police diversity, changes in policing tasks, and issues of corruption, community and race relations and crime and clear-up rates.
The War We Never Fought
Again and again British politicians, commentators and celebrities intone that 'The War on Drugs has failed'. They then say that this is an argument for abandoning all attempts to reduce drug use through the criminal law. Peter Hitchens shows that in Britain there has been no serious 'war on drugs' since 1971, when a Tory government adopted a Labour plan to implement the revolutionary Wootton report. This gave cannabis, the most widely used illegal substance, a special legal status as a supposedly 'soft' drug (in fact, Hitchens argues, it is at least as dangerous as heroin and cocaine because of the threat it poses to mental health). It began a progressive reduction of penalties for possessio...

A Brief History of Crime
Crime is a political football - both left and right are terrified of seeming soft on the issue, but for all their efforts, or apparent efforts, crime rates continue to rise. Clearly something needs to be done. But what? Peter Hitchens argues that the time has come to re-examine the criminal justice system root and branch - to cope with rising levels of violent crime, and to restore public faith in society's ability to defend itself. Whatever you think of the solutions Hitchens suggests to this problem, you can be sure that they will excite controversy.
