Critics Review

Reviews of previous editions:Changing Policing Theories by Charles Edwards is an excellent text book for the budding police officer who in New South Wales, and very soon in Victoria, needs to navigate the undulating landscape of university level study to become a confirmed police officer. … [The book contains] a great deal of information and intellectual stimulation. - NSW Police News, Vol 85 No 9, September 2005 A very comprehensive look at policing in three western societies … Well worth the money. - NT Police News, June 2005
