A recognized authority on policing, Bayley set out to examine the police as a whole, to work out whether police do what the citizens of democratic societies require and expect, and to formulate a future policy for the role of police in crime prevention.

Police for the Future by Bayley
Police for the Future analyses what the police are accomplishing in modern democratic countries and whether changes are needed. It argues that the police are failing to provide the protection against crime that the public so desperately wants. It assesses the impediments to effective crime prevention, describes the most promising reforms being tried by police, and analyses the choices modern societies have with respect to creating truly effective police forces. Based on extensive research in Australia, Britain, Canada, Japan, and the United States, it addresses four specific questions: (1) Are the police preventing crime? (2) Why are they not? (3) What changes could make them more successful? and (4) What reforms would produce a more effective crime-prevention police? Bayley analyses these questions in a style accessible to laypersons and specialists concerned about contemporary crime and criminal justice.
Fine scholarship, deep insights and thought-provoking suggestions for police reform* Joseph D. McNamara, Police Chief, San Jose California (Ret.) and Research Fellow, Hoover Institute, Stanford University *
... David Bayley's study provides us with new types of strategies for the future of policing based very largely on detailed research and frank recognition of what the police can and cannot achieve./ ... an imaginative and highly readable study.../ Barry Loveday, University of Portsmouth, Local Government Studies, Vol 24, no 4, Winter 1998
This book challenges police officers, politicians and the public to confront fundamental questions about the future role of the police in advanced democratic societies. The strength of this challenge comes from the extensive data collected in a unique study of policing in five countries, and the scholarship of David Bayley's analysis. The police service in our society has a fundamental influence on the relationship between the state and the individual, and consequently, this is not simply a book to be read, it requires us to answer the questions raised. * A.J.P. Butler, Chief Constable, Gloucestershire Constabulary, United Kingdom *
A `benchmark' study and analysis of police operations and outcomes....a very useful blueprint for the future. * Choice *
