Zero Tolerance Policing by Roger Hopkins Burke

Zero Tolerance Policing is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the police, crime prevention, community safety and order maintenance. It is a highly significant text, providing the reader with a more informed understanding of the many issues involved. With chapters from eminent practitioners and academics, and based on a combination of practical experience and extensive research, each chapter examines a key issue involved in zero tolerance policing. Subjects under discussion include current initiatives in both the UK and US, problem-oriented policing, community reaction, the implications for civil liberties of a true zero tolerance approach, and the problems of begging and vagrancy.

'This timely volume examines the different dimensions of zero tolerance policing strategies and considers the best ways of promoting crime prevention, public safety and the policing of different communities' - Professor Dick Hobbs, University of Durham, UK
