This Review has established that the police service is currently ill-equipped to respond to possible and probable changes in increasingly specialised crime trends, political accountability, financial resources and the demographics of its workforce. This report covers reforms that may be introduced in the longer term. An earlier report on reforms that could be introduced in the short term published in March 2011 (Cm. 8024, ISBN 9780101802420) and made recommendations for savings of £1.1 billion over 3 years, most of which are being implemented following a determination of the Police Arbitration Panel. This report makes recommendations which could realise gross savings of £1.9 billion with £1.2 billion reinvested in policing. The 121 recommendations cover: employment framework, entry route and promotion; health, fitness and managing the workforce; basic pay, contribution-related pay and role-based pay; negotiating machinery. Each chapter contains a recommended phased process for introduction. The recommendations will provide the police service with the ability to attract and retain high calibre candidates with different skills and experiences, to maintain operational resilience by maximising the deployment of fit and healthy officers, and to manage office numbers according to need and in the public interest. Entry into the police service and advancement within would be according to the sole criterion of merit. The recommendations for reform of the pay review apparatus will have a profound effect, establishing a well-resourced professional pay review body ensuring that officers' pay is determined on sound evidence.

This revised and expanded third edition offers a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the criminal justice system of England and Wales. Starting with an overview of the main theories of the causes of crime, this book explores and discusses the operation of the main criminal justice agencies including the police, probation and prison services and the legal and youth justice systems. This book offers a lively and critical discussion of some of the main themes in criminal justice, from policy-making and crime control to diversity and discrimination to the global dimensions of criminal justice, including organized crime and the role of the EU. Key updates to this new edition include: increased discussion of the measurement, prevention and detection of crime; a revised chapter on the police which discusses the principle of policing by consent, police methods, power and governance as well as the abuse of power; further discussion of pressing contemporary issues in criminal justice, such as privatization, multi-agency working and community-based criminal justice policy; a brand new chapter on victims of crime, key developments in criminal justice policy, and the response of the criminal justice system. This accessible text is essential reading for students taking introductory courses in criminology and criminal justice. A wide range of useful features includes review questions, lists of further reading, timelines of key events and a glossary of key terms.

The aim of the report is to highlight what the Committee felt were the most important and controversial measures of the Bill, to lay out the arguments for and against, and to reach a tentative conclusion in time for the second reading debate. The Committee concluded that the Bill should be given a second reading, but it will need close examination in committee. Doubt is expressed whether a bill of this length and with major implications for civil liberties should be passed through the Commons in such a short period and with so little time for detailed examination. The legislation will pass through the Commons in two weeks with only three days of debate by all MPs. The report recommends that the Government should seek an alternative measure, in consultation with other European partners, which avoids the need to exercise the power of indefinite detention. It expresses reluctant acceptance that there may be a small category of persons who will have to be detained, but states that this should only be exercised as a last resort, for those who cannot be prosecuted, extradited or deported. The report recommends that a "sunset" clause should apply to the immigration and asylum provisions of the Bill, which would mean detention powers would lapse after five years. A full parliamentary debate would then be needed for an annual renewal order, rather than a 90 minute debate in a standing committee. The report also states that there is insufficient evidence to justify the extension of the law of incitement to include religious hatred, as it is doubtful that this will work in practice.
