Six local teams of the National Police were studied, using both interviews with officers and observations of police work. Despite the emphasis on standardization, this study showed that there are important differences between these teams. The scale enlargement of the local teams resulted in several negative side effects, such as an increase in driving time of patrol cars in rural areas, and a loss of social bonds between officers in these teams. The aim to replace traditional patrol work by problem-oriented types of policing is hardly realized in practice. Despite the emphasis on the importance of community policing, in fact community officers now have a more isolated position. The introduction of the National Police created more distance between citizens and the police and made that this relationship is now more dependent on abstract forms of communication.

Only the police can investigate suspected crimes, arrest perpetrators and monitor sex offenders. Police officers have the power to take a child who is in danger into a place of safety, or to seek an order to restrict an offender’s contact with children. The police service also has a significant role working with other agencies to ensure the child’s protection and well-being, longer term. This inspection examined child protection in Northumbria Police in January 2018. It is part of a rolling programme of inspections of all police forces in England and Wales.

A Critical Investigation Into the Criminalisation of Black Musical Subcultures in the UK This article sets out to (re-)introduce Black urban musical subcultures as valuable forms of creativity and public expression in an attempt to resist, criticize and expose their criminalization by the London Metropolitan Police. Focusing primarily on grime, a host of unfair and illegitimate practices adopted by the London Metropolitan Police will be discussed. This will demonstrate how the routine monitoring, surveillance and curtailment of Black people’s public identity (re)produces stereotypical associations of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups with violent, criminal and problematic behaviour. In order to challenge openly discriminatory attitudes towards Black urban cultural forms by the police, a counterargument which calls for their understanding as viable sources of positive and constructive public engagement will be offered.
