Police Reform: Building Integrity is about the recurring problem of police corruption and contemporary efforts to find effective strategies to maximise ethical conduct. It draws on international experience, using Australia as a major source. In the last fifteen years Australian policing has been of significant interest because of the combination of advanced democratic processes, exposés of serious police corruption, and extensive - sometimes radical - experimentation with prevention strategies. The book begins with an overview of developments and issues in police integrity control globally, before giving close attention to special problem areas and to innovations in establishing and maintaining best practice. These innovations include modern methods of testing police applicants, assessing organisational integrity, mediating complaints, using stings to reveal secretive corruption, creating integrity profiles of officers and units, and developing effective independent oversight and investigation of complaints. The book is for all stakeholders in police conduct: police managers, professional standards branch personnel, general duties officers, recruits, civilian oversight agencies, civil libertarians, politicians, police studies scholars and students, and the general public. The book brings together the latest research on types of misconduct in a form that is readily accessible to a wide range of readers; with short, clearly focused, chapters on specialist topics. It balances diagnostic and theoretical explanations of police behaviour with a series of expositions of specific practical strategies for creating ethical departments.

Sexual Assault in Canada by Elizabeth A. Sheehy Pdf
Sexual Assault in Canada is the first English-language book in almost two decades to assess the state of sexual assault law and legal practice in Canada. Gathering together feminist scholars, lawyers, activists and policy-makers, it presents a picture of the difficult issues that Canadian women face when reporting and prosecuting sexual violence. The volume addresses many themes including the systematic undermining of women who have been sexually assaulted, the experiences of marginalized women, and the role of women’s activism. It explores sexual assault in various contexts, including professional sports, the doctor–patient relationship, and residential schools. And it highlights the influence of certain players in the reporting and litigation of sexual violence, including health care providers, social workers, police, lawyers and judges. Sexual Assault in Canada provides both a multi-faceted assessment of the progress of feminist reforms to Canadian sexual assault law and practice, and articulates a myriad of new ideas, proposed changes to law, and inspired activist strategies. This book was created to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Jane Doe’s remarkable legal victory against the Toronto police for sex discrimination in the policing of rape and for negligence in failing to warn her of a serial rapist. The case made legal history and motivated a new generation of feminist activists. This book honours her pioneering work by reflecting on how law, legal practice and activism have evolved over the past decade and where feminist research and reform should lead in the years to come.

Arrest and Detention Powers in English and Turkish Law and Practice in the Light of the European Convention on Human Rights by M. Bedri Eryilmaz Pdf
It is commonly believed that, in the police practices of arrest without judicial warrant and detention without charge, England and Turkey stand at opposite ends of the compliance spectrum among nations signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights. This is the first book to examine the extent to which such belief is warranted. Beginning with a detailed comparison of the arrest and detention standards set by the Convention and the corresponding provisions of Turkish and English law, the author then proceeds to investigate actual police practice in both countries. He reviews and analyzes the existing research in England and Wales on how the status of suspects in practice compares with the status of suspects in law. To determine this in Turkey, where no such research existed before this book, he offers the results of his own field work in 21 Turkish police stations and three gendarmeries in various cities and towns, as well as in two Turkish anti-terrorist departments. This is the first publication of any research into how Turkish police apply law to practice. He goes on to examine the adequacy and effectiveness of remedies in both countries, and to make recommendations, not only for reform in England and Turkey, but to the Convention organs with respect to gaps and weaknesses in their case law. For criminal justice and law enforcement authorities, this is a valuable guide to ensuring compliance with the extensive and developed standards established by the case law of the Convention, and to handling allegations of breaches of the Convention by the police. In addition, Arrest and Detention Powers in Turkish and English Law and Practice in the Light of the European Convention on Human Rights is a penetrating analysis of `law in books' versus `law in action', and as such has relevance to anyone concerned with the enforcement of human rights law.
Critical Issues in Police Civil Liability by Victor E. Kappeler Pdf
Building on the strength of previous editions, the fourth edition presents a well-conceived, clearly stated analysis of complex issues confronting law enforcement officers and administrators. Law enforcement duties sometimes place police officers in vulnerable positions regarding their legal obligations and expose them to charges of misconduct. Civil liability is an extremely expensive proposition for police officers, law enforcement agencies, governments, andultimatelytaxpayers. Although substantial resources are often expended by the justice system to resolve liability cases, there are benefits to citizens. When the government assumes the responsibility to provide service or to protect the public, people injured by inadequate performance of those responsibilities deserve compensation; innocent parties who suffer injury should have an avenue for redress. The potential for litigation has been an impetus for better training and more responsible practices. Another excellent resource on the topic, Kappelers edited volume of Supreme Court cases, Police Civil Liability, Second Edition, allows students to understand firsthand the legal reasoning behind Court decisions dealing with these same issues.
Fenwick on Civil Liberties & Human Rights by Helen Fenwick,Richard Edwards Pdf
More than merely describing the evolution of human rights and civil liberties law, this classic textbook provides students with detailed and thought-provoking coverage of the most crucial developments in the field, clearly explaining the law in context and practice.

Comprehensive and authoritative, this textbook offers an essential resource for students on human rights or civil liberties courses, as well as a useful reference for students and scholars of UK Public Law.
Civil Claims Against the Police by Patrick O'Connor Pdf

This book is a practical work combining an analysis of the law with practical guidance on how to pursue the claim, including advice on funding the action. In addition the work contains a substantial number of precedents including schedules of special damages, pleadings, client care letters and other model correspondence.

Police Liability: Lawsuits Against the Police provides insights and directions for police managers and trainers as they cope with liability suits filed against their agencies. The book encourages them to develop stronger and more meaningful policies, improved training, closer supervision, and more accountable discipline. Payne provides the readers with a detailed review of general police liability followed by a detailed review of 53 actual cases litigated against the police. Actual cases are presented in the chapters "Police Use of Force," "Police Pursuits," "General Police Procedures," and "Police Procedures when Conducting Homicide Investigations." Each of these chapters includes a review of relevant literature and case law, followed by the cases in point. The 53 cases are presented in three parts: an outline of the facts, critical issues and factors involved, and the author's commentary and recommendations for the police. The analyses presented in this book highlight strengths and weaknesses in police responses to actual incidents. Readers are provided with sufficient insights to change agency practices that lead to law suits and identify training issues to enhance police response to the focal areas covered in the book. "Payne has presented an excellent text for both the practitioner and the academian... After reading this text, I reviewed numerous cases involving the four areas examined by Payne and found the very issues presented in the text in real cases within my agency and in several surrounding communities. It is for this reason, and the user-friendly format of the text, that I strongly recommend this book for every member of the law enforcement community. I also feel that the text would be an excellent supplement to supervision curricula, leadership training, and law enforcement courses." -- William W. Johnson, Sr., Gloucester City (New Jersey) Police Department, Criminal Justice Review, Spring 2004
