A KEY WORK IN THE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF POLICE LEADERSHIP

· What are the special challenges of police leadership?
· What can be learnt from leadership theory in general?
· To what extent is police leadership in permanent crisis?

In Police Leadership in the Twenty-first Century the editors have brought together a collection of authoritative and innovative contributions to show that:

· leadership is less of a mystery than is often supposed
· much mainstream leadership theory can be adapted to police leadership
· the qualities required can be developed by education and training.

The book looks at the extensive research on the topic and concludes by suggesting certain simple but fundamental rules –or ‘Golden Rules’ - for police leaders.

Reviews

‘This is an important and timely book, not only because of the depth and breadth of the coverage of the issues but because it addresses the practical challenge of leadership at all levels . . . When the challenges come . . . an understanding of the underpinning principles and conflicting values of policing is vital for organizational survival’:
John Grieve QPM (from the Foreword)


Authors

Robert Adlam was Reader in the National Police Leadership Faculty at Bramshill (now CENTREX) and Peter Villiers Head of Human Rights. Through their work at the Police Staff College and beyond, they gained a unique insight into the challenges and demands of police leadership and from the experience and beliefs of an extensive range of experts, including the contributors to this volume. They have been involved in leadership development programmes for senior officers from police forces in the United Kingdom and abroad, including nations seeking to join the European Community. This book is based on that work.
