Book Description
Keeping the Peace Volume II, like its predecessor, is bound to become an important resource for social historians, legal academics and indeed anyone interested in the evolution of police administration and law enforcement in Queensland. It contains another wonderful collection of intensely personal stories, providing rare insights into the sacrifices made by successive generations of Queensland police officers — men and women who served the public with dedication, courage and a strong sense of duty. In the year of the sesquicentenary of the Queensland Police Service, which was inaugurated on 1st January, 1864, the book serves as a timely reminder of the contribution that police officers make to the peace of mind and welfare of ordinary citizens. Author Laurie Pointing himself a former Assistant Commissioner of Police, should be commended for bringing together the stories in both volumes of Keeping the Peace. In this second collection, Mr. Pointing has also included a highly informative prologue, bringing together little known facts about famous Queenslanders such as Sister Elizabeth Kenny and her two police officer brothers, the 1889 battle of Lawn Hill Station and the famous Warwick egg-throwing incident which resulted in the formation of the Commonwealth Police, now known as the AFP.

Book Description
Does a more academic type of police education produce new police officers that are reluctant to patrol the streets? What is the impact of gender diversity and political orientation on a police students’ career aspirations and attitudes to policing? These are some of the questions addressed by this longitudinal project, following police students in seven European countries. The unique data material makes it possible to explore a wide range of topics relevant to the future development of policing, police education and police science more generally. Part I presents an overview of the different goals and models of police education in the seven participating countries. Part II describes what type of student is attracted to police education, taking into consideration educational background, political orientation and career aspirations. Part III shows the social impact of police education by examining students’ orientations towards emerging competence areas; students’ career aspirations; and students’ attitudes concerning trust, cynicism and legalism. The overall results show that police students are strikingly similar across different types of police education. Students in academic institutions are at least as interested in street patrolling as students in vocational training institutions. Gender and recruitment policies matters more in relation to career preferences than education models. The national context plays a more important role than the type of police education system. Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to students and scholars in policing, criminology, sociology, social theory and cultural studies and those interested in how police education shapes its graduates.
