Book Description
This book investigates death after police contact in England and Wales in the twenty-first century. It examines how regulatory bodies construct accountability in such cases. Cases of death after police contact have the potential to cause deep unease in society. They highlight the unique role of the police in being legitimately able to use force whilst at the same time being expected to preserve life. People who are from Black, or Minority Ethnic backgrounds, or have mental health issues, or are dependent on substances are disproportionately more likely to die in these cases, and this emphasises the sensitive nature of many of these deaths to society. Deaths after Police Contact examines police legitimacy and the legitimacy of police regulators in these cases. The book argues that accountability is produced by a relatively arbitrary system of regulation that investigates such deaths as individual cases, rather than attempting to learn lessons from annual trends and patterns that might prevent future deaths. It will be of great interest to scholars and upper-level students of policing and criminal justice.

Book Description
Police officers face ethical dilemmas every day in the course of their law enforcement duties. Ethical conundrums and challenges evolve all the time as the society evolve. And there is no static right or wrong ways of dealing with some difficulties; there, however, exist a range of acceptable responses which substantially depend on your knowledge, exposure and training as a police officer. You give yourself the best possible chance of making the right decision, when you are fully updated on new developments and thinking in police circles and legal jurisprudence. This book provides all the details you need to know. Ethics is not indoctrination. The goal isn't to make everyone the same; it is about character and decision-making. Ethics is not an underhanded attempt to change you. No one can change you; you can only change yourself. Ethics is also not an assumption that your ethics are flawed. This isn't remedial ethics. It is a book to help basically good people learn to make the best choices and decisions as they confront the challenges of policing in African societies. You need to be aware that ethics is a perishable skill. It is a skill that can easily become outdated if not updated. It requires continual training and honing, just like driving and shooting. The more updated you are, the better you will be at making ethical decisions as a police officer. This book present leaders, police officers and student of law enforcement with a concise, yet detailed analysis of operational ethics in police work, how to deal with ethical dilemmas and what to do to maintain a high standard of professional conduct as police officers and managers. This book also reflects the peculiarities of African societies in explaining the coping mechanisms in situational ethical scenarios.
