Appointment of Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Constabulary
This report discusses the pre-appointment hearing of the preferred candidate, Tom Winsor, to the post of Chief Inspector of Constabulary. Pre-appointment hearings are to assess the suitability of the preferred candidate, but that cannot be done effectively in a vacuum and the Committee were disappointed that the Home Secretary initially refused to provide information on the selection process or the shortlist. The Committee recommends that the Government in future provide such information in keeping with the recommendation from the Liaison Committee. The Home Affairs Committee is content for the Home Secretary to proceed with Mr Winsor's appointment. This is considered against the background ...
A History of Policing in England and Wales from 1974
Focusing on a time of profound social and political change, this book offers a detailed and engaging history of policing, covering the key themes of social stability, professionalisation and police reform, as well as the major events between 1974 and 2008 such as the Miners' Strike of 1984.
Dorry's War
The Inspector walked very slowly and in a dignified manner up to the window of a car that was indicating left whilst using a hand signal to turn right. "Excuse me, Madam, but did you know that your vehicle is about to divide in two?" "Yes it appears that the nearside of your vehicle is about to turn left whereas the offside is about to turn right. " This is just one of the many amusing, sad, happy, tragic and fascinating observations of Special Constable Dorrinton as he patrolled the streets of Bristol throughout World War Two. His unique eyewitness account describes a city suffering unimaginable tragedy and yet persevering and attempting to continue a 'normal' life. Forty years after these monumental events Dorry sat down and wrote out his story before sending it to Avon and Somerset Constabulary in the anticipation that they may find a use for it. A further thirty years later it was rediscovered in the Bristol City Archives and now, at last, Dorry's story is published for all to share and enjoy.

A History of Police Reform in England and Wales
This book provides a comprehensive history of police reform, charting its history from its origins in the early 18th century to the most recent examples in the 21st century of the Labour, Coalition and Conservative governments. Each key reform programme is explored in the social, political, and intellectual context of its time, how the necessary legislation was passed, how each programme was implemented, and what its legacy has been. This is the first study that concentrates on the key reforms that shaped the modern police service, their enduring legacies, and their underlying flaws. It is an essential read for police historians, criminologists, police academics, policy makers, and everyone interested in police history.
Recent Advancements in the Diagnosis of Human Disease
Viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites are known to cause the most common human disease. It frequently spreads through direct contact (from human to human, animal to human), and through contaminated food or water. With the advancement of diagnostic techniques, it is now possible to rapidly identify microorganisms causing human disease and correlate with the corresponding clinical infection. Therefore, there is a need to develop robust and high-throughput diagnostic methods to prevent and control human disease of public health importance. This book entitled “Recent Advancements in the Diagnosis of Human Disease” will help the scientific community to better understand the transmission dynamics of some human diseases.
Policing at the top
Chief police officers are often shadowy enigmas, even to members of their own forces, yet they make far-reaching strategic command decisions about policing, armed responses, operations against criminals and allocation of resources. What is their background? Where do they come from? How are chief officers selected? What do they think of those who hold them to account? Where do they stand on direct entry at different levels and what do they think of a National Police Force? Bryn Caless has had privileged access to this occupational elite and presents their frank and sometimes controversial views in this ground-breaking social study, which will fascinate serving officers, students of the police, academic commentators, journalists and social scientists, as well as concerned citizens who want to understand those who command our police forces.
