Jones shares her views on the Police Reform White Paper, possible force mergers, the future of Police and Crime Commissioners and the wider challenge of making policing more effective without losing local accountability. The interview also explores where she believes reform is needed and where she thinks the risks are greatest. While supportive of some national changes, Jones warns that larger force structures, weaker local connection and a lack of power to bring partner agencies together could ultimately damage frontline policing. It is a detailed and outspoken look at what reform could mean for both the public and the policing system.

In the face of repeated recent high-profile security failures, and global changes in material political economy, we argue that UK security governance is adapting to further manage the security market in new ‘strategic’ ways. We explore the beginnings of a series of changes in the orientation of security governance, with the state re-asserting scientific and symbolic authority over a wider range of security arenas. Through new bodies—the National Technical Authorities—the UK state is mobilising the security services (GCHQ and MI5) to shape security markets and cultures directly. It is doing this through co-ordinating information flow; researching and setting material standards; shaping the education, public research, and skills environment; and finally through deploying the symbolic power and authority of the spy agencies, the sovereign state, and empire.
