TextSeries: Routledge frontiers of criminal justice ; 42.Publisher: London : Routledge, 2017Description: 228 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cmContent type: text | still image Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9780415708647 (hbk.) :Subject(s): Police -- Great Britain | Searches and seizures -- Great Britain | Police-community relations -- Great Britain | Crime prevention -- Great Britain | Crime | CrimeDDC classification: 363.2'52 Summary: 'Stop and search' is a form of police-citizen interaction that is confrontational, often stressful for those involved, and potentially damaging to the relationship between police and public. The extent to which police officers use their power to stop and perhaps search members of the public is intimately linked not only to the present-day context of policing but also to longer term patterns in the aims of policing, the ends used to achieve them, and ultimately to the ideology of policing in England and Wales. 'Stop and Search and Police Legitimacy' draws upon both police-administrative and survey-based data to examine what has for many years been one of the most highly charged and contested aspects of police practice.
